The Last Laugh
Chapter 34
***
Sawyer's POV:
I had a heavy lump in my throat. I was so angry with Heather. How dared she? Because of that Shirley! She had no fucking right to leave.
I sat on my bed that morning, thinking. Heather could be really annoying at times. I thought and thought of something that could get my mind off Heather.
Ace.
Oh yes, Ace! I had dinner with him that night at his apartment. Yes. I smiled to myself. I needed to buy a sexy and beautiful dress. I had all day to do that.
I picked my phone and called Ace.
Ace's POV:
My phone's ringing tone woke me up at nine in the morning. I got up with heavy eyes. I'd been so drunk the last night that if my phone hadn't rang, I would sleep till noon and more.
Without seeing who was calling me, I picked the call.
"H– hello?" I said tired.
"Hey, handsome. Did I wake you up?"
Sawyer?
"Yeah..."
"Sorry, cutie. I just wanted to tell you that, well, I'm kinda excited about our dinner tonight."
My eyes were completely open in a second. I'd completely forgotten about the promised dinner.
Shit.
"Oh, um–"
