Page 32 of Inviting Trouble
“I guess,” Park muttered.
“Weddings are a great place for a pickup,” Ty said. “They’re feeling all romantic and lonely. Then you just swoop in.”
Park snorted. “Yeah? Which one you think you’re gonna just swoop in on?”
“I like the looks of the one in the yellow dress.”
Park shifted, surreptitiously checking her out under half-hooded eyes. “She’s all right.”
“All right? You need to get your eyes checked. I think she’s a personal trainer. Or maybe she just has a personal trainer. Who cares? Look at those legs.”
“Look at her face,” Park said. “That face says I don’t tolerate fools.”
Ty socked his shoulder. “Watch and learn, my friend.”
Their drinks arrived, two ice-cold beers, and they wandered over to where his brothers were congratulating Jake and Claire, who’d just arrived after pictures. Hailey stepped away from the pack and headed for her book club posse.
“Hailey,” Ty called.
She stopped and turned on her heel. “Yes?”
“Who’s the girl in the yellow dress?”
She glanced over at her friends and then headed over to Ty. “Charlotte. You want me to introduce you?”
Ty’s eyes traveled over Charlotte again from head to toe. “Nah. Just curious.”
She cocked her head. “Sure?”
“Not everyone appreciates a matchmaking wedding planner, princess,” Josh drawled, appearing at Hailey’s side. He gave her a devious smile like he couldn’t wait to mess with her.
Hailey huffed. “I am a happy ending facilitator. This wedding is proof!”
Josh leered. “Well, now, I don’t haveanyproblem with a happy ending.”
Hailey flushed bright pink. “It’s not that kind of happy ending.”
Josh leaned close, but they could still hear him loud and clear. “Maybe it should be. Maybe you’d have more men interested in your singles book club instead of all those women.”
Hailey’s hand fluttered in the air. “I have no problem getting a man interested.”
Josh barked out a laugh. Ty and Park exchanged an amused look. These two were a riot.
“Su-u-re,” Josh said with a slow nod. “That’s why you had to pay me for wedding dates.”
Hailey threw her hands up. “That was business! Not a date!”
Josh smirked.
“Shut up!” Hailey stalked away.
Ty shoved Josh by the shoulder. “Why don’t you just hook up and get it over with?”
“Fuck you,” Josh said casually, his gaze following Hailey’s curvy ass.
“She paid for wedding dates?” Park asked. He couldn’t imagine why. The woman was the kind of beautiful that you normally only saw in the movies or on TV.
“Yup,” Ty said. “Paid Joshy here as part of her business plan. That ended well, as you can see.”
