How
will Apolo and Caitlyn face the Washington fishbowl?

far can Apolo push his bride in the sensual arena?
Choice Affairs - Excerpt
"Apolo, who
are you calling?" I inquired, as though I didn't know.
"Your
mother! I've been more than patient with the woman. I've overlooked things she
has said or done that ordinarily I wouldn't. She was the entire reason we
waited to start preparations. So that she would be safely back in Ireland. Now,
less than a week out, she decides to ignore everything we implored upon her not
to do. She's selfish, Caitlyn. The woman thinks of no one but herself, and it
stops now."
I bit my lip,
trying desperately not to smile. That wouldn't be a good thing to do right now.
Apolo Choice did not tolerate anyone, not even family, doing as my mother just
had.
He caught my
amusement anyway. "What?" he bellowed, his eyes dark and menacing.
"Are you
done ranting?"
"No! I'm
just getting started. She has to be taught a lesson, and I know the perfect way
to get her attention. While I'm doing that, I want you to get Izzie and Eloise
on the line. The four of us have some meddling-mother-of-the-bride counter
attacks to plan out."
"What are
you up to, Apolo?" I gazed warily at him as he found my mother's number
and let the games begin.
"You'll
see."
That's what I
was afraid of—Apolo Choice and my mother, Susan Pickett White, having a blow up
mere days before our wedding. I sat, grimacing, waiting for her to pick up. Or
would she? As savvy as my mother was, she was probably screening her calls,
anticipating Apolo's response.
"Susan,"
he bellowed into the phone. "What in the name of hell were you thinking
this morning? Going on some gossip show and telling the world every detail of
our wedding. How dare you! Now, I’ve called to tell you that the ceremony is
off. Thanks to you, the one day we asked for privacy has been ruined."
He stood, facing
me, listening to my mother pleading. He was obviously having great fun toying
with her.
"No, you
may not speak to Caitlyn. Your daughter is too distraught by your selfishness
to talk to anyone at the moment. I merely thought I'd let you know first-hand
that the wedding has been cancelled. But you know, come to think of it, perhaps
I should have gone on one of those shows you seem to relish and announced it to
the entire world. Now, if you'll excuse me."
He
hung up on my mother. Not many live to tell about doing that.
