She's back (Morgan and Dante) novel Chapter 6

Morgan's pov:

"Babe, you certainly took your time getting here." I said, flashing the man a brilliant smile. With my eyes I pleaded for him to understand the situation.

"Babe?" Dante asked behind me. I didn't dare glace at him. I didn't date take my eyes off this handsome stranger in front of me with the champagne spill on his shirt. I didn't dare break eye contact.

Nova scoffed. I ignored her.

Blue eyes stared into mine, an unreadable look in them. His eyes moved down to my hand placed daintily on his chest, and back to my face.

Please. Please play along.

"I'm so sorry my love," The man said, bending down to my cheek. "I had a little emergency at home, I didn't intend to come late." He raised his head back up, a smile on his face bright enough to light up a small town.

"Did the dogs act up again?" I asked, shaking my head with a chuckle. Outside I look calm, but inside I'm screaming with joy. Relief washes over my like a tidal wave.

He caught the hint!

"What can I say? Molly missed her mama. " He said. He looked down at his shirt. "This should be easy to come off."

"It's fine," I said, lowering my hand from his chest. "We can surely take care of it later."

"Wait," Nova said. She grabbed my arm and turned me to face her. "You're dating someone else?!"

I calmly plucked her hand off my arm. "Yes. And?"

Her eyes flashed with indignation. "That easy huh? " She scoffed. "After all the talks about your love being the best ever, and it's that easy for you to move on huh?!"

I turned to fully face her. "Nova, what is your problem?" I asked with a chuckle. "Should we unpack this here, right now, in front of all these people?"

"That's enough." Dante said, stepping up to Nova. He put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. His eyes met mine. "Let's go now."

"I'm not finished yet." Nova said, a dark smirk on her face. "But whatever. Have fun with your new man bestie. And hold him tight."

"I could say same for you." I replied with a smile. "Have fun you two."

"We sure will." Nova flashed me a knowing smile. "In more ways than one."

I rolled my eyes in disgust.

They both walked away, Dante's arm possessively around her waist like he's trying to send me message. What fucking message? That's he's moved on? Whatever is Nova's problem?!

She finally had the man of her dreams, fine. And now she's angry that I have mine? Even if he's not really mine but....damn!

Seriously, what's wrong with her??

"Are you okay?" The man asked.
