Read Online The UN Series Complete Box Set by Shantel Tessier - Free Book Online Page A

the day I moved out my stuff. He quit his job and moved with Bridgette to her hometown somewhere in Georgia. It’s crazy how I moved here for him and then he ups and moves for someone else.
    “Hey, girl. That’s the last of your things,” Holly says, laying down a box on my bed.
    I smile. I don’t know what I would do without her and Micah. They have helped me so much.
    “You want to go out tonight?” She smiles, trying to cheer me up.
    “I don’t know. I need to put my stuff away.” I lay down, looking up at the ceiling.
    “All you have to put away is a few boxes. The movers delivered everything this morning.” She bounces on the bed, making me laugh.
    “True.” I sit up. “I guess I could use a drink after everything that has happened. Sure, why not?”
    Holly hasn’t let me touch wine since the accident; said it wasn’t very smart. She was probably right, but I am completely fine now.
    Micah has been working twenty four-seven on a case with his dad and Slade, so he hasn’t been home much. It has actually made it feel like we are two single girls sharing a house together. It’s been nice to have so much girl time just lying around in sweats and laughing. I’m glad to be moving into my own place, though. I hate feeling like I’m imposing.
    “Here,” she says, standing up while grabbing the box. “I will help you put these shoes away.” She walks into the closet. “This closet is so big!”
    “I know, right?” I agree, walking in behind her. That’s one of the reasons that I wanted this house. You can never have a big enough closet.
    I hang up a few skirts and turn to walk out back to the bedroom where all the clothes are lying. I pick up a few boxes and look over at Holly who is sitting there, staring at me.
    “What?” I ask with a smile on my face.
    “Are you going to be okay? You know you can stay with us a little longer, right?”
    “Holly, I promise, I’m going to be okay.” I nod my head to reassure her as I turn and walk back into the closet.
    “Here” She hands me another box while she turns back to the bedroom to answer her ringing phone.
    “Hello?...Yes, I’m helping her unpack her stuff right now...Yes, she’s said she would go out tonight.” There’s a long pause. “Is that a good idea?” She laughs. “True...Okay, sounds good. Love you.”
    “I’m going to get out of here. Do you need me to help you with anything first?” Holly asks me.
    “No. Thanks for your help today. Where are we going tonight?”
    “Larry’s.”
    I nod my head. “What time are you guys going?” I hang up my last dress and walk out of the closet.
    “Around nine. Do you want me to come get you?”
    “No, I’ll drive myself tonight. I don’t plan on having more than one drink and I’m not staying too late.” I give her a hug, and thank her as she leaves. I lay down on my bed. A little nap won’t hurt before I go out tonight.
     
    *****
     
    Five hours later I’m staring at myself in the bathroom mirror at Larry’s. When I woke up from my nap, I didn’t feel like going out, but now I’m feeling pretty good.
    Or that could be the three glasses of wine I drank while getting ready.
    I take another look at myself in the mirror to reapply my lipstick. I’m wearing my long dark hair in big curls that reach the lower part of my back, and my long layered bangs are swept to the right side of my face. My makeup is on the light side, with no eye shadow, just black eyeliner, and my lips are coated in a shiny pink lip stick.
    Holly had texted me, telling me what to wear; my white dress that looks like it is painted on my body and is extremely short. The straps are thick, and the top comes down to a low V, showing off my cleavage which I have a lot of. I’m wearing my favorite pair of Jimmy Choo heels; baby pink and look like they’ve been dipped in glitter.
    Why am I hiding out in the bathroom?
    This is my first night out since Jax and I broke up. As soon as I walked in the bar, people were
