First Love (Complicated Love Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page A

she’s completely naked, she sits on my desk and leans back on her elbows. Her feet are on the desk and her knees spread as wide as possible.
    A few seconds later, someone else walks up to her. I can’t see his face, but from the way he swaggers, I’m guessing my worst nightmare is about to come true. Once I see who it is, I turn the video off. I can’t watch any more of this. But I have the proof to bust my dad if needed.
    After watching the video, I can’t focus on anything else. All I can think about is my brown-haired, brown-eyed beauty, wondering if she came up to my office when all of that was happening. Would she have come into the office?  Did she come in and think it was me?
    I hope she’ll let me explain what's been going on in the office. I have a feeling she thinks it was me this morning. I can’t even imagine the pain she must be feeling if she thinks it was me with Janice. It’s probably worse because Donna has never really liked Janice, and Janice lets her know all the time that she’s interested in being more than just my secretary. God, what a mess of a day it’s been. I can only pray that I can fix things with Donna.
    I can’t help but wish we were curled up against each other in our bed right now. Instead, I’m at the office, hoping I can fix this mess of a situation. What I wouldn’t give to be at Shawna’s so I could make that fantasy come true. Tomorrow, I’ll have my love in my arms. Hopefully, if she doesn’t hate me for hiding all the stuff going on in the office. I’ll fall asleep with her curled around me, and I’ll wake up to her big doe eyes looking back at me.
     

 
    I t’s time to quit stalling and tell Shawna what happened. She’ll be shocked because she really likes Brian and we both thought he’d never do this. Although I grew up with both of them, they didn’t meet until college. I only saw Shawna when I went to Wisconsin to visit my grandparents for the summer, so we did a lot of communicating by letters, and every couple of months on special days, we’d call each other. The two of them got to know each other in college, and he’d always set her up with his friends. That’s how she met Frank.
    He and Brian had some classes together in law school, but they didn’t hang out otherwise. They recently got in touch through a support group set up for alumni to get advice from their peers. Brian and Frank instantly became good friends even though they lived a state away. When Brian found out Frank lived near Shawna, he decided to play matchmaker again. Apparently, it’s working out for them. Even though it’s only been four months, they seem happy. Not only are they living together, but they’re engaged, and I couldn’t be happier.
    “Shawna, thanks for the drinks and being here for me! I really need this!” I yell as I walk into the kitchen. “Oh shit, I forgot you were here, Frank.”  I feel stupid for blabbing away like normal.
    Frank speaks first. “Don’t worry, Donna. I understand you’re having a difficult night. As long as you’re a fun drunk, we’re good,” he says, winking.
    I think we’ll get along well. Hopefully, he’ll make Shawna a happy woman for a very long time. She deserves to be happy and find a man who wants her for her and not what she can give him.
    “Hey, Donna. Here’s your drink and a shot. Hurry and chug it. Frank will make us another while we talk.” 
    I down my shot and then Shawna’s before she even finishes her sentence. I proceed to guzzle my margarita, not even waiting for Shawna to sit down at the bar. Then I start talking.
    “So, Marianne and Jolene were being pushy about the wedding as usual, but today, they hit a nerve. You know I want flame lilies and bleeding hearts as my flowers, and I want ruby and silver as my colors, but they disagree. They say flame lilies and bleeding hearts aren’t a typical flower and I won’t be able to get them. They say I need something people will actually recognize.” God, even
