Chapter 35
Jeff was just about to walk about to his own hotel room when his cell phone rang. Thinking that it was probably Beth since she would be the only to call him this late, he didn't even bother checking the number.
"Hey Baby." He whispered huskily.
"Do you answer your phone like that when anyone calls?" Corinne said.
"Oh hey Corinne...did you get my message?"
"Yep...so when is this surprise party going to be?"
"This weekend...well actually you're the surprise. You sure you're ready to tell Matt how you feel about him?"
"Jeff...I'm not sure. I mean how do you know that he doesn't already know how I feel but just doesn't to be with me?"
"Corinne...believe me my brother has no idea. He's pretty dumb like that. I know you'll make him happy. I haven't seen him this content in a long long time." Jeff said. He had been trying to drop hints to both Matt and Corinne about how they should get together since they had last left Corinne's house. Now all his plans were coming together.
"Okay, so here's the plan...we can have it at my house. Matt will come over or something and I'll have a little candlelight dinner thing set up by the pool. I'll be your waiter or whatever you guys want me to be and besides my kitchen leads to the pool so it'll be easy for me. What do you think?"
"I think it sounds amazing. So my flight for North Carolina leaves tomorrow morning. Is Beth going to meet me at your house?" Corinne asked.
"Yep, I told her to expect you around 12, but right after she greets you she has to leave to go to her parents house in Georgia so feel free to do whatever you want with the house...and the spare bedroom of course." Jeff snickered.
"Shut up Jeff. And thanks...for everything."
"No problem, it's a pleasure. Getting you two kids together has been the highlight of my...well not really...but it's been great fun. And I know you both deserve each other."
"But Jeff...what about Amy?" Corinne asked hesitantly.
"What about Amy? Believe me Corinne; it's over between my brother and her. You've got a clear sailing right to my brother's heart."
"You're so poetic. I'd better go. See you tomorrow."
"Bye." Jeff hung up the phone and whistled as he walked back to the hotel room. He didn't see the flash of red hair disappear from around the corner.
