Keeping Blossom Read Online Free PDF

the train, and that you liked her.” Of course, it does, but I don’t want to think about them together.
    “It’s not about her. He’s an asshole, and I’ve had to take an extra case on top of his because of his stupidity.”  I’m lying like a motherfucker, but there’s no reason to upset him when there’s nothing I can do about it.
    “I know, but when you marry someone their baggage comes with,” he sighs. Adam has been nothing but a pain in the ass since he came to stay with us. At first, it was because he was only thirteen, but after his mom and I had warmed to each other, it became a pissing contest between us. 
    “I know. He’s lucky I love Shirley,” I grumble.
    “Me, too, but your ass is still coming tonight. Don’t make me bring the party to your office.” That’s not an empty threat. My father doesn’t make threats—only promises.
    “Fine, I’ll be there. Just have a drink ready for me.”
    I drive my way to my parents’ house, bringing a bottle of wine with me. I’m so damn tempted to steal her from him that I don’t even care that she’d been fucking him this morning. The entire drive all my thoughts are focused on not choking the shit out of my brother.
    The maid opens the door for me, and I ask, “Am I the last to arrive?”
    “Yes, Mr. Williams,” she says. 
    Showtime. Taking a deep breath, I join my family in the parlor for a drink and notice that the woman in my brother’s grasp isn’t my Blossom but some other skanky looking broad. She’s the exact opposite of Blossom, a tall, bleach blonde stick.
    “Son, you’ve made it,” my father says, walking up to me quickly. Giving me a hug, he whispers, “Don’t say anything about the train. I made the mistake of thinking the girls are one in the same. This one isn’t her, is it?”
    With a grimace of rage, I shake my head. He’s been cheating on Blossom this whole time? I could’ve walked out of the CTA station with Blossom in my arms. Fuck, I keep forgetting her name is Brooke.
    Jackass Adam walks up to giving me a “be quiet” look with the money grubbing whore my mother was referring to at his side. “Hey, Devin. This my fiancée, Michelle.”
    “Hello, Michelle,” I say with just a nod before leaving to go greet my step-mother. I don’t care if I’m dismissive. I’m ready to strangle him. Two weeks of hell for him to have a side piece. He’s no man at all. When I get my hands on him, he’s going to be crawling to his date. As far as I’m concerned, he’s never going to see her again— family or no family.
    “Oh, Devin. I’m so glad you came,” she says, hugging me tight. Shirley can see the anger in my eyes and it’s obvious to all I am upset with Adam.
    “You mean you’re so glad Dad forced me to come,” I chuckle.
    “You’re such a smart boy,” she laughs, patting my cheek and grinning.
    “He’s a smart boy all right,” Adam says, putting his arm around my shoulder. I give him a look that says to remove his arm before I break it. He doesn’t hesitate which is good because I’m a second from whooping his ass. How dare he hurt Blossom? Brooke?
    My father hands me my drink and I take a large swig before glaring at Adam and saying, “Adam, I need to talk to you about the case with Andrade.”
    “Okay. Dad, we’re going to your study. Babe, excuse us for a moment,” he says sweetly like he hasn’t been playing her. I watch as his nose twitches and he sucks on his cheek. The fool is geeked on coke. It doesn’t matter what he’s on, I’m running on pure rage.
    We walk into the room and I close the door behind us. Turning around, I grab his collar and slam him against the door. “Explain to me where Blossom is and how long have you been cheating on her?”
    “She let you call her Blossom? What the fuck makes you so damn special? Seriously, I don’t see it.”
    “I said, where the fuck is she?” I slam him harder against the door.
    “Beats me. She left the next day after your dad
