The Spanish Love Deception novel Chapter 13

My phone pinged again.

Rosie: Sorry, the owner’s husband just showed up, and I got distracted. #swoon

Rosie: He is so handsome. He brings her flowers once a week. *crying emoji*

Lina: Rosalyn, I’m trying to work here. Snap a photo and show me tomorrow.

Rosie: Sorry, sorry. Did you talk to Aaron, BTW? *thinking face emoji* Is he still waiting?

I wasn’t proud to admit that my stomach had dropped at the unexpected mention of something I hadn’t let myself think about.

Liar. These past two days had felt like waiting for a bomb to drop when I least expected it.

No, ever since Monday, Aaron hadn’t said anything about the whole I’ll be your date to the wedding nonsense. Neither had Rosie because we had barely seen each other with how busy both our schedules were.

Lina: I have no idea what you mean. Is he waiting for something?

Rosie: …

Lina: Something like a heart transplant? I heard he doesn’t have one.

Rosie: Ha, funny. You should keep the jokes for when you two talk.

Lina: We won’t.

Rosie: That’s right. You two are too busy staring at each other intently. *fire emoji*

An unwanted blush rushed to my cheeks.
