JUNE
It’s been twelve years since I’ve seen him.
Twelve years since his smug face leaned down to kiss me,
stopped just before our mouths met, smirked, and then turned
and walked out of my life forever. That day, I stood stunned
and awestruck. I wish I had smashed his toes. Instead, I closed
my eyes as he went in for the kill. I cringe, remembering how I
tilted my chin up, feeling a chill trickle across my spine at the
thought of him kissing me after spending our whole high
school experience trying to kill each other. I acknowledged
defeat the moment my eyes fluttered shut. I hate that he won
our war back then.
But tonight…tonight, I resurrect the battle.
And victory will be mine.
No longer am I that naïve little graduate, excited for a kiss
from the enemy. I’m now thirty years old and majority owner
of Darlin’ Donuts—one of Charleston’s top hotspots. My best
friend, Stacy, and I opened the bakery three years ago, and we
have been enjoying a nice bit of success ever since.
Not only am I the Southern queen of the gourmet donut
tycoon, but I’m turning down men calling me up nightly for a
date. Okay…nightly is a stretch. But it’s definitely somewhere
around three times a week. Twice a week. Once a week.
Above average, okay?
Point is, I’ve got a lot going for me now. Career success.
Tons of friends—because family makes the best friends, am I
right? And I’m at least four inches taller than I was in high
school (read: two inches). Best of all, I’ve perfected a killer
winged eyeliner and paired it with a little black dress that has
had men eyeballing me from across the bar all night long.
Sorry, boys. You can look, but you can’t touch.
In short, I’ve made sure that tonight—the night I come
face to face again with my archnemesis—I look the best I’ve
looked in my adult life. Because mark the words coming out
of my red lips: Tonight, I will crush Ryan Henderson under my
black stilettoed feet.
He will see all that he has missed out on and weep on the
floor, clutching my legs, begging me to give him the kiss he
left behind all those years ago.
And FINALLY, I hear the door squeak open. I wait,
measuring the seconds passing by, the click, click, click of a
woman’s high heels drawing nearer.
Just a little closer.
Ugh. She passed me, choosing the far end of the row like a
normal person. Why did I have to choose the middle?
“Hey there!” I call out. “Why don’t you take the one
beside me?”
