Page 24 of A Very Miller-Cooper Life

We talked for a few more minutes before saying our goodbyes so they could call the rest of their friends and family.

“What an exciting day already,” Reagan said as soon as I hung up the phone.

“Yeah, really.” I laid my head against her shoulder and let out a long sigh. I was so content. This, right here, was my happy place. “Does life get any better than this?”

“I don’t know. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

I smiled even wider now. I couldn’t wait to see what was to come.

Chapter 6

Reagan

2 years later

“Who would’ve thought all those years ago when you came to visit with yourboyfriendJamie that you would one day be going to his ex-girlfriend's wedding?”

I laughed as I struggled with my tie. “What I’m more surprised by is that I’m at the wedding ofyourfirst love.”

Charlie put her arms around me from behind and rested her chin on my shoulder as we both looked into the mirror. “Mary Beth wasnotmy first love. She was just the person who took my virginity.”

“Still a pretty big deal.” I lifted an eyebrow so Charlie could see it in the mirror. “Should I be jealous?”

“Hm. Maybe.” Charlie tapped her finger against her chin. “I do enjoy a woman in a nice dress.”

“What about a woman in a suit?”

Charlie ran her hands up and down the front of my body, making me wish I wasn’t wearing said suit. “I enjoy that even more.” She reached up and squeezed my boobs andgod, why does there have to be so much fabric between those hands and my skin?“But in this situation, I actually enjoy it much more when you’re not wearing any clothes.”

I groaned and turned around to face her. “You can’t say things like that or we’re going to miss the wedding.”

“Wouldn’t be the first time we were late for a celebration,” Charlie joked, her hands continuing to explore my body as my willpower dwindled.

I laughed at the memory. “I really thought your brother was going to kill us when he realizedwhywe were late for the reception.”

“Eh. Whatever. Wasn’t the first time he wanted to kill us.”

“And I’m sure it won’t be the last either.”

“So, is that a yes?” Charlie asked as she moved her hand over the front of my pants.

Stay strong, Reagan. You can do it.I looked at my watch to see if there was any chance we could get the deed done quick enough to not miss the beginning of the wedding.Shit. Not possible. I groaned once again. “I hate to be the mature one, but we really shouldn’t.”

Charlie stuck her bottom lip out at me. “Boo. I don’t like when you’re the mature one either.” She reached up and fixed my tie for me. “But I’ll forgive you since you look so good today.”

“Just today?” I joked.

Charlie rolled her eyes at me. “Fishing for compliments, I see. Obviously, you look amazing every day, but this suit is really doing it for me.” She licked her lips as she ran her eyes up and down my body.

“I can tell.” I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the hotel room to keep myself from doing what I desperately wanted to do.

The wedding ceremony and reception were taking place on the farm that Mary Beth and Jackie now owned together, and they had it decorated beautifully. The ceremony was quick, but sweet, and I could feel the love radiating from the two of them.

“What a wedding, huh?” Jamie asked as we walked beside him and Ethan over to the area where they were having the reception.

I nodded. “Super beautiful.”

“Mom’s going to be pissed that it was nice.”
