That would have made our intentions obvious.
We simply manipulated the circumstances so Kira and Marcus would show up.
It went terribly.
That evening, Bradley and I went to Betty and her husband Rod’s house.
While Betty and I whispered about our plan, I noticed Bradley and Rod sitting together in front of the television.
They were drinking beer and laughing over a football game.
Later, I pulled Bradley aside.
“What exactly are you doing?”
He looked confused.
“Watching the game.”
“You’re supposed to be supporting me.”
“I am.”
He took another drink.
“But Rod’s a good guy.”
I stared at him.
Before I could answer, the front door slammed.
Heavy footsteps crossed the hallway.
Kira and Marcus stormed into the living room.
Both of them were furious.
“Have you all completely lost your minds?” Marcus shouted.
Kira looked directly at me.
“Our wedding is one week away, and you arranged a date for me with another man?”
