Pretty Fly for a White Guy: The Complete Series Collection by Lena Skye

completely handled our situation in the wrong way and I would have to deal with that. One way that I could do that would be to not let Joshua slip through my fingers.
     
    He was no Kenneth but he treated me well and he clearly liked me. My granny would have told me to drag him to the altar. For once I contemplated taking her advice; maybe it would lead me to the happiness that I so deeply desired.
     
    “Stand up babe,” he said, “You don’t have to convince me of it anymore. I know that you care for me.”
     
    I stood up as he rose to his feet and took me in a big embrace.
     
    “I love you more than anything in this world,” he whispered in my ear.
     
    This was the moment I was meant to say the same thing back to him but the words just could not leave my mouth.
     
    I hugged him tighter and he took that for a display of affection. He ran his hands though my hair and I held on to him tightly as my stomach did back flips.
     
    It finally hit me.
     
    I didn’t feel the same way about him as he did about me. I didn't love him.
     
    What am I going to do?
     
     
     
     

#Chapter9
     
    “Everything happens for a reason” 
    Kenneth
     
     
    I am a strong believer that love can grow and so I had to give me and Josh a good shot at it. Joshua and I were doing so much better over the next week. He seemed a lot more at ease and that put me at ease as well. It was nice to enjoy his company without all of the drama. As I was heading out of the door for work my phone went off and it was an email from Kenneth. I quickly checked it because I hadn’t heard from him in almost 3 weeks by this point.
     
    Hey Everyone!
    It’s been a while since we’ve all been together. I been busy sealing one of the biggest contracts of my career so far and I want to celebrate. Let’s go to Vegas! Before you even think of saying no, please consider the fact that your plane ticket and hotel room are already paid for. Surprise! That’s right an all expenses paid trip to Vegas. Let’s go sin in sin city. I can’t wait to see all of you there.
    Ken.
    P.S what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…unless you get pregnant…that shit is forever. LOL
     
    Wow what in the hell was he thinking? I had to admit that a trip to Vegas sounded tempting but I didn’t know if I was ready to be in another city with him and Amelia, and that’s even if my friends were there.
     
    My phone began to ring and it was Joshua.
     
    “ Hello?”
     
    “Hey did you get that email from Ken?”
     
    “Yeah I got it, you’re coming right?”
     
    “I can’t go babe, I guess he forgot that I have to work this weekend. I would have loved to see you in a show girl outfit. ” he sighed.
     
    I laughed, “I don’t think it works like that.”
     
    “Well it’s a nice thought anyway, but I just wanted to tell you that you should go. I already know how you’re probably thinking over there.”
     
    “Yeah but it just doesn’t seem appropriate,”
     
    “Nonsense, your girls will be going and all of the other people from our circle will be there too.
    Besides him and Amelia are going and I heard that they may be getting married there. You have to go and represent me just in case they elope.”
     
    There was no way in hell that I was going to watch the two of them get married. I would probably rip the veil off of her head and kick Elvis in the shin for cosigning on their foolishness.
     
    “ I still don’t know,” I said as my other line beeped. “Let me call you back I have Patricia on the other line and if I know her correctly, Jasmine is on the phone too.”
     
    “Okay, tell the girls I said hi.”
     
    “I will,” I told him as I clicked over to the other line.
     
    “Hello?”
     
    “Heeeeeeeey!!!” I heard two voices say in unison, I know my friends.
     
    “I know you two have seen the email.”
     
    “We sure have and we can’t wait!” Patricia said, “I haven’t been to Vegas in years and I’m going to go and win me some
