I said quickly. “I just want Connie to find her happily ever after.”
“Oh, is that what you want?”
He asked, raising only one brow.
My face flushed at his words and the accusing sound of his tone. He was looking at me with disbelief and I couldn’t believe what he was insinuating.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
I asked, pressing my lips firmly together. l
“I mean are you doing this for Connie, or for yourself?”
“How could you accuse me of something like that?”
I heard myself asking, my voice going soft.
“It just seems odd that you care so much about her dating life,”
Enzo said with a shrug.
I stood to my feet and glared at him, folding my arms across my chest.
“Your hospitality is making me think you don’t want her to date,”
I said in return. “Is there a reason for that?”
He stared at me for a moment longer before asking, “You think I’m trying to keep Connie single?”
“I don’t know.. are you?”
I shot back.
“No.”
“Then why won’t you help me?”
I asked, eyeing him carefully.
“Because none of this is our business,”
he said, a little too loudly.
“Maybe we should make it our business,”
I shrugged. “If your care about her as your friend, you would want her to be happy.”
“And if this guy doesn’t make her happy?”
“He’s her mate, Enzo. He’s determined to make her happy.”
He was quiet for a little longer before sighing. I could tell I had won this argument.
“Fine,”
he finally said, turning away and going toward the kitchen. “You want to set her up, then we will set her up.”
Lila’s POV
Enzo and I have spent a lot of time together this past day and a half. We only have so much time to get this perfect date together. Right now, it was Sunday and we had everything booked and planned accordingly.
The only thing we didn’t have was Connie’s approval. Enzo was so sure she was going to be so mad at the fact that we planned this huge date for her and her mate even though she said she didn’t want it.
It was fine though because as soon as she saw what we did for her, I believe she was going to be pleased.
Planning this whole thing together seemed to be a little more complicated than I thought. I didn’t think we would agree on anything because we fought so much over what we thought Connie would like.
“Connie would hate that,”
Enzo sneered, shaking his head at my judgment. I frowned, pressing my lips firmly together as I stared up at him.
“What’s to hate about an outdoor movie?”
I asked, narrowing my eye.
“Bugs.”
“We can get them bug spray,”
I said in return.
Enzo continued to shake his head at me.
“Not a chance. An outdoor movie is at least two hours long and Connie would lose her mind being around bugs for that long. Not to mention she would get bored. She hates movies.”
“You seem to know a lot about her,”
I muttered, not trying to sound jealous but I knew that’s how I came across.
“I’ve known her my entire life,”
he said back, staring around my face. “Look, I don’t want to argue with you about this. But I truly believe Connie would hate this; what she would like is a nice carriage ride with a little classical music. Maybe it could go all around the city?”
My frown only deepened.
“And the bugs won’t get her on a carriage?”
“Carriage ride won’t be long enough for bugs to get her. It will also be early enough where the bloodsucking ones aren’t out,”
he explained.
“Seem you know a lot about this,”
I said in return, keeping my eyes on his.
“I’ve looked into it before.”
We went silent for a long while; both staring at one another with looks that could practically kill. I was a little upset that he knew so much about what Connie would like for her first date. Maybe a little insecure. But I would be damned if I allowed him to see that.
“Well, if it ends early enough, how about a show? It’s only about an hour and a half long. But she might like it. It’s very expensive,”
I said, trying to get his reaction.
He only nodded.
“Yes, she might. Write that down.”
I was surprised by that. He seemed a lot calmer and was serious when he agreed with me.
“Are there any parties going on tomorrow night?”
Enzo asked, meeting my eyes.
“There’s usually a beach party every night. At least there seems to be,”
I said in return.
“She would like to attend one of those too.”
I rose my brows at him.
“Are you sure? I feel like those are beneath her,”
I said, furrowing my brows together.
“I don’t think she’s done many local things here and she would probably like that before she left,”
Enzo shrugged.
“Okay, so we should probably make some calls and get some reservations started,”
I said as I pulled out my cell phone. “I’ll call the restaurant first. “I’ll request the best table with a booth for tomorrow evening just before the carriage ride. Carriage ride will run until the show at 9 pm and it will end around 11:30 pm.”
“The carriage should end at the show. So, it will take them there,”
Enzo added, I made sure to write that down.
“Then we can have a car bring them to the beach party which will consist of drinking, dancing, a bonfire, and fireworks,”
