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 hot spots. 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 business, 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?”
Her clicks come to an abrupt halt, and suddenly, I’m aware of how
creepy I sounded.
Because . . . yeah, currently, I’m sitting on a toilet with my fancy little
cocktail dress hiked up to my hips and the telltale prickles of a woman who
has had no choice but to sit on a toilet seat for far too long shooting down
my legs.
