No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 328



"Licia," Susie piped up, her senses suddenly on high alert, "What did you just say? You've got a crush on Dr. Yates? That's not gonna fly, you know. You're only supposed to have eyes for my brother."

Gone was her playful demeanor, replaced with a look of sheer panic directed at me.

I couldn't help but let out a sly chuckle, though I played it off with a helpless shrug, "But c'mon, the man's a total knockout. The moment I laid eyes on him, I thought, 'Is this guy for real? More like a Greek god than a doctor.""

"No way," Susie grabbed my arm, her determination clear, "Licia, sure, he's easy on the eyes, but if you really look at him, he's got nothing on my brother. Doesn't have that rugged charm or the manliness. And let's not even start on how solid a guy my brother is. Nothing like Dr. Fancy Pants over there."

"Really?" I feigned confusion, "What makes you say Yates isn't solid?"

Susie pouted, then began shaking my arm, "You can't go falling for anyone but my brother. You're his, and that's that."

This little lady was all about monogamy, it seemed.

"You're a fan of those 'till death do us part' romances, aren't you?" That's how they all go in the books, after all.

No matter the trials or tribulations, the readers always root for the main couple to stick it through.

Susie, having been practically raised on romance novels, had undoubtedly cast herself in one of those stories.
