Chapter 181

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 181 BOOK 3 CHAPTER 17 ~WILLOW~

“I’m not taking part in the kissing booth,” I tell Autumn.

She gapes at me.

“Why?” She demands.

“We had so many plans for today,” Clarissa complains. “And all of it included getting Dante jealous.”

“He doesn’t even like me; why do you think he will get jealous?” I ask her.

She sighs, “I don’t think you know much about men like Dante. I’m telling you that we need to get him jealous.”

“He asked me nicely not to take part in this,” I explain to her. “I don’t want to do anything to make him upset with me.”

Autumn quirks a brow at me, “Are you telling me that Dante asked you not to take part?”

I nod.

She looked at Clarissa, and they both looked excited about this news.

“He’s so jealous.” Clarissa laughs.

“No, he’s not.” I disagree. “He said that Anya would be upset if he let me participate in something like this. He said that the guys from the academy may try to take advantage of me and that I was too innocent for this.”

Autumn doubles over in laughter. “I can’t believe that’s what he said to you.”

“Dante truly does have a way with words, doesn’t he?” Clarissa asks.

I wasn’t sure what was so funny.

“I’m sorry, Willow, but you are taking part in the kissing booth this year,” Autumn tells me.

My forehead creases, “what are you talking about? I already told Dante that I wouldn’t be taking part in this.”

“We have a plan,” Autumn whispers. “Atticus will let us know exactly who’s entering the room so we can enter at the right time.

You won’t have to kiss a stranger. None of us would.”

I frown, “isn’t that against the rules?”

“I don’t care about the rules when it involves Damon.” Clarissa mumbles. “I rather burn this entire place down than let him kiss another woman.”

“Are you sure that this plan will work?” I ask them.

I didn’t want there to be a possibility of their plan not working. If that happened, I would be f****d to kiss a stranger, and that’s the last thing I wanted. Dante was the only man I wanted to kiss, even if he didn’t want to kiss me.

“Oh, we’re sure,” Autumn assured me. “I’ll do everything in my power to ensure it does.”

Sharon is right in front of us with a group of her friends. I watch as she purposefully puts on lip gloss in front of me.

“I’m sure Dante is a great kisser.” She shouts. “I can’t wait for my chance to kiss him.”

Autumn and I again had to drag Clarissa away before she could make a scene in public.

“I swear one of these days; she’s going to get what’s coming to her.” Clarissa growls.

“We know that she wouldn’t get an opportunity to kiss him,” Autumn says. “There’s no reason for us to get worked up over her.”

“You’re right,” Clarissa says, finally calming down.

Girly screams suddenly erupt around us.

“It’s starting,” Autumn tells me as she drags me forward.

“I’m not sure if this is a good idea.” I protest. “I’m sure if I get Dante, he wouldn’t even want to kiss me.”

“It’s better than him kissing someone like Sharon, right?” She asks me.

I frown; the thought of Sharon kissing him angered me.

I nod, “Okay. Let’s do this.”

~DANTE~

“Are you hearing those screams?” Griffin asks. “Those women can’t wait to get their hands on one of you.”

Atticus looks sick after hearing it.

“We have a plan,” Atticus says as he looks for Damon for confirmation.

What did they know that they weren’t telling us?

“You have a plan?” I ask him.

He nods, “It’s nothing that you have to worry about. Didn’t you say that Willow won’t be participating?”

I nod; thankfully, she’d listened to me. Unlike my brothers, I didn’t have anything to worry about.

“It’s starting,” Damon says. “Who’s going first?”

“Griffin,” Atticus answers as we watch him enter the room from the back entrance. “He’s signed up to take part more than once.”

I chuckle, “I wouldn’t expect anything different from our younger brother.”

One after the next, everyone around us takes their turn. It was almost time for me to enter. I just had to get it over with.

“Aren’t you curious to find out who you’ll be kissing?” Atticus asks me. “You can check upfront. The first person in line will kiss you in the next few minutes.”

I wasn’t curious, but I still wanted to know who it was. I walk out to the front, hoping that none of the girls would see me looking. I didn’t want to hear their screams again.

Luckily, they were too excited to look my way. I follow the line, searching the faces, Sharon is first in line, but the person behind her makes everything spin.

Willow.

What the hell was she doing there? She agreed not to partake in this event. So then, why the hell was she in line?

My hand tightened into a fist as I f****d myself to have some self-control. I wanted to walk over to her and pull her out of the line, but that would cause too much attention on us.

I storm back to Atticus, who looks surprised to see me looking like I wanted to kill someone.

“After me, who’s next?” I demand from him.

“Eric.” He answers me. “Eric is next.”

My eyes are narrow when they zero in on the person in question.

I walk over to Eric and grab him by his shirt, “switch places with me.”

“W-what?”

“Don’t make me repeat it, or I’ll drag you out of that room the second you enter it.” I threaten him.

His eyes widen as he slowly nods, “It’s not that big of a deal. You can have my spot if you want. All you had to do was ask.”

I let go of him and storm over to Atticus.

“What’s wrong with you?” He demands.

“I can’t believe she lied to me,” I growl. “She f*****g lied!”
