Billie talked with many of the guests, the majority of the time with Ivy by her side. I kept to the corners, hiding behind groups of people or making small talk. I drank two more glasses of wine during the hour, which helped numb me.
I waited for Billie to seek me out, but not once did she try to. I almost approached her, but then her uncle came over to me and we talked. Felix was a pretty okay guy but a chatterbox. More than half of what he said, I tuned out, concentrating on Billie and how happy she looked.
When my head started spinning and my vision grew fuzzy from the wine, I knew Iâd had enough. To regain control before Billie and I came in contact, I went to the womenâs room. I gave myself a pep talk in the mirror, trying to trick myself into thinking the kiss Billie and Ivy shared was nothing more than simple affection between two friends.
I left the bathroom to find Mother Natureâs fury in the huge windows in the foyer. Part of me wanted to stand outside and let the rain to pour over me and cleanse my soul. I jumped when a streak of lightning zipped down in the distance then a loud boom of thunder crashed.
âI love wild storms like the one weâre having.â
I continued to focus on the scene out the window even though Billie had joined me. It would have been easy to fall back against her instead of this constant push and pull we did.
âIâve been looking for you everywhere. You look incredible in this dress,â she whispered, and started to wrap her arms around my waist.
I twisted around to face her. âDonât touch me right now.â
âWhy?â She clasped my hip, and I swatted her away.
âShouldnât you be with your girlfriend?â I stepped back, putting space between us.
âGirlfriend? What are you talking about?â She looked confused. âIf you mean Ivy, I told you, weâre just friendsââ
âJust friends?â I released a hollow laugh. âYour definition of friends must be different from mine. I saw you both kissing after you got off your cell. You two stuck together, and you didnât look for me.â
âMandy, I can explain the call and why Ivy and I kissed, which isnât what youâre thinking. Also, you should have come up to me, but you were probably hiding like youâve been doing since I got back in town.â
I dug my nails into my leg to keep from slapping Billieâs smirk off her face. I was so stupid to have come here. Sheâd been playing me for a fool. I was sick of it.
The entire building shook as more thunder crashed overhead. Soon it would start raining, and I wanted to be home before it did. All I wanted to do was hide under my covers and go to sleep and forget Billie Layne existed.
âThis isnât going to work. I canât trust you.â I refused to meet her gaze. âItâs for the best if we stay away from one anotherââ
âNo!â Billie clutched my arms.
