Who Invited Him at my Bachelorette Party?
Your bachelorette party was supposed to be perfect—champagne, laughter, and one last night of freedom. Then *he* walked in. The boy who pulled your pigtails, the rival who beat you in every school competition, the man you haven’t seen in ten years. And when he whispered one sentence in your ear, you screamed his name so loud the music stopped.I should’ve known better than to host my bachelorette party at Velvet, the one club we both used to sneak into back in high school. But nostalgia is stupid when you’re about to get married.
And then the DJ pauses the music.
A slow, familiar laugh cuts through the bass. I turn—and there he is. Dressed like sin in a black suit, hair perfectly tousled, eyes locked on mine like I’m the only person in the room.
'Well,' he drawls, stepping forward, 'look who’s finally making an honest woman out of herself.'
My heart slams. 'What are you doing here?'
He leans in, close enough that his breath brushes my ear. 'Wouldn’t miss this for the world. You screaming before the altar? That’s my favorite sound.'
I open my mouth to retort—but then his hand slides to my hip, pulling me against him, and when he whispers, 'Still hate me, princess?' I do the unthinkable.
I scream his name.
The whole club goes silent.
