“Seems he has everything covered. Almost as if this was premeditated.”

I quirked up a brow and stared at her. “What do you mean?”

“Suddenly, out of nowhere, this man decides to give Fredrick an exclusive look? And at the last minute no doubt. You’ve got a week to get yourself together. Who plans a trip at the last minute like that?” She answered her own question, “Seemingly, he does.”

“He didn’t require me, per say.”

“Oh, girl! Now you’re just messing with me.”

“So you think he did it to what?”

“He has the hots for you just like you’ve got the hots for him.”

My phone dinged. I reached into my bag and pulled it out exhaling a heavy sigh.

“Who’s that?” Santana asked.

I groaned. “Fredrick.”
