Comfort

My mother stood rigid, her shoulders heaving, not moving a step. I felt like I was going crazy. I'd never been this mad before. My pulse felt like it'd never settle and my vision was getting blurry. There was no way I was settling this in a mature manner right now. If I stayed, I'd only say worse things. I had to get out of the office and away from my mother.Standing up from my desk, I snatched my keys off the holder and did my best to calmly walk to the door."If you speak to me like this again, I won't let it go," my mother said as I passed her. I didn't even try to keep myself from slamming door as I exited. Henry was waiting outside, his face pale. I tossed him my keys. "Please drive me home.""Of course," he said immediately, easily catching my keys.Henry didn't say a word the whole drive to my place. I appreciated it. I'd only calmed down slightly and reliving it wouldn't help at the moment. Usually I could take whatever my mother said-I was used to it. But when it came to Wi

Tour

Wilson's POV"The house is ready for you to move into," were Solene's cheerful words as she arrived at Georgia's house on Saturday afternoon.I checked the date on my phone. It was only August 1st. "Really? Already?""I told them it was urgent. Everything checked out okay." he told me, sliding around me to enter the house. "And it's faster when you pay cash up front. Is Georgia here?"I shook my head. "No, he went out somewhere with Henry this morning.""Well, it's best that he isn't here for this.""Haha, yeah." I rubbed the back of my neck, feeling slightly guilty.Georgia really didn't want me to move out and it felt kind of wrong planning it behind her back, but she knew it was coming. If she was here she could probably guilt me into staying. I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to turn her down. But I did know that Brandon and I needed our own space."We're here too!" another voice chirped and I looked out the door to see Arian rushing up the steps with my brother in tow."Hİ,"

Connection

Georgia's POV"Georgia, your mother is calling," Henry said, looking at the caller I.D on the touch screern as the sound of his ringtone came through the speakers."Should I answer?"I shrugged. We were on our way back from a board meeting, so she was probably calling to check up on things."Just pretend I'm not with you." Henry hit the answer button on his steering wheel. "Henry speaking.""Where is Georgia?"Henry and I exchanged surprised glances at the shrillness of her voice. It was the tone of one pissed off mother. I shook my head furiously as Henry's eyes widened in fear. "She's not with me," he squeaked out."Find her," she ordered in a shaky voice. "Find her and bring him to me. Now. And in the mean time, head to her house and drag out that tramp that lives there!""Hey," Henry started to protest.I reached over to the steering wheel and slammed the end button multiple times, causing Henry to lose control of the car momentarily. "Bring me to my house," I said, my voice calm

Party

There was no way. If Wilson could barely afford his rent, he wouldn't be able to afford Richard's services for his brother."Richard is her lawyer too?" Brandon laughed. "No wonder she looked so scared. She probably knew me because of him and didn't want to hear how shitty he is. He would've lost my case had I kept him."If there was one thing Richard wasn't, it was shitty. He was the best lawyer around. He could win any case. There was no way he'd come close to losing one. I looked at Solene, but I could tell he was already thinking further ahead than I was. It was the lawyer in him. He must've realized something was fishy.But what could it be? Did my mother even know Richard worked for Brandon? Or was it just a coincidence? It was hard to believe though. Where would Brandon and Wilson get the money for it? It didn't seem possible."There's something weird here," Solene said, reading my thoughts."I set up a meeting with Richard to ask him about it.""I'll come with you...""I'll do

Unknown Chapter

Georgia's POVVzzzt, vZzt, VZzt. Fuzz filled my aching head and I groped around my bed, trying to find my phone. What I grasped instead woke me up instantly. Henley was right beside me on the bed, tangled in my silk sheets, wearing only her bra. Before I even had a chance to gasp, she opened one eye, not even bothering to lift her face from the pillow."Did you just touch my boob?"A deep flush settled on my face and I coughed, noticing my mouth wasbabsolutely parched. "Yes. Accidentally," I croaked out. My tongue felt like sandpaper. Henley grimaced, closing her eyes tightly. "I'd be mad, but I feel like death. It's like the desert is overtaking my mouth.""Where is your shirt?"As if just realizing she was indeed shirtless, she shot up, sheets slipping from her body. "You could at least pretend not to stare!"It took a few seconds for her words to register. When they did, I whipped my head to the left, bringing on the hammers knocking on my brain."Ow.""Crap, I don't even have a s

Wilson Need Help

Solene was sitting at the kitchen table, reading a newspaper while sipping a coffee. "Good morning," she greeted us warmly.I noted that she showed no signs of a hangover whatsoever. However, she did miss a button on her shirt. But as unusual as that was, it wasn't important."Wilson needs your help," I told him. "Remember that guy from Michelangelo's? He's trying to sue her."Sebastian's eyes slid to Henley and he folded up the newspaper. "Do you have the recordings of the incident? Has Curtis tried to contact you?""No..." She gasped. "But I don't live at the address listed on my license! He could be looking for me. That's probably how Collin found out about it- that moron! Is it bad if it looks like I'm avoiding him?""We should go to the restaurant," Sebastian said. "The first thing we should do is get a copy of the surveillance video."The color drained from Henley's face and she nodded. For the first time, she looked scared. Just as I was about to reach out for her, Sebastian pl

Worst

Wilson's POVOn the way to the restaurant, Solene explained how a civil case worked, and what I should expect of it. He didn't think Curtis had made a complaint yet, only threatened it. Our plan was to swing by the apartment after to see if I'd received a summons.I tapped my fingers against my thigh as a queasiness set in my abdomen. It wasn't that I was afraid of being sued at worst he would demand all the money in my savings account-but rather if he decided to take it a step further and press charges against me.What if I lost then? Would I go to jail? What would happen to Brandon?Noticing my anxiety, Sebastian reached over and squeezed my shoulder. "It's going to be okay. I'm actually a pretty good lawyer when I want to be."I gave him a small smile. "I don't doubt that."Collin wasn't very pleased to see us when we arrived at the restaurant. He stuck up his nose, turning his head away from us as he guided us to the backroom where the computer for the security was. "This very wel

End Of Contract

I didn't like the sound of that."But don't worry about it right now," he added.I gave him a flat look. "Yeah, because that's so easy after what you just said. But I trust you. I know you'll tell me the truth if it involves me somehow.""I will," he promised. "For now let's see if you have a summons."My old apartment looked more decrepit than ever. I now understood Bennett's reaction when he saw it the first time-it wasn't livable. I smiled sheepishly at Sebastian as I slid out of the car to check the mailbox. There was nothing. No summons."So either it hasn't arrived or he hasn't done anything yet," Sebastian said as turned the car around, heading back toward Bennett's house. "I'll go and speak to him tomorrow.""I want to talk to him too."He frowned a little. "It's probalbly best not to.""I don't want everyone to fight my battles for me. I appreciate what you all are doing, but..." I trailed off, shifting in my seat. "I don't like feeling useless. Hearing you say that, or Benne

It's Over?

Wilson's POVTurns out fighting for our relationship was easier said than done. No matter how hard I tried, I could not contact Georgia. She blocked my number. She blocked my work number. She refused to answer any calls from Solene's phone. When I stopped by her house, her car was never there. It was like he hadn't been home once since zhe'd decided to cut me out of her life, She was doing everything she could to avoid me. I had no doubt in my mind his mother was behind this- especially considering the fact Curtis had coincidentally decided to drop his lawsuit the same day Bennett disappeared. But that didn't mean I was only pissed at her. How could Bennett have given up on me so easily? Why didn't he even try to fight?Why couldn't he just tell me what happened? Why couldn't he have at least ended it face-to-face? There was so much I wanted to say to both of them. There was so much I wanted to say to him. but I just couldn't get to him. I groaned, dropping my head into my hands. Thi

Fight Or Surrender?

"How could she do this?" I whispered, staring at it, my heart beating like crazy in my chest. When had she bought this clothes? When had zhe planned on giving it to me?"What's wrong?" Brandon asked.Zipping the dress back up into the garment bag, I tossed off my apron. "I need to see her. I have to go. Arian, can you close up? Please?"She nodded, seeming bewildered. "Of course. Where are you going? To his house?""Yes." My whole body was trembling.This didn't make any sense. If he was going to end things with me, he wouldn't have bought this dress."Are you going to be okay alone?""I'll bring her."My eyes snapped to the door, where Henry stood, hair matted dovwn from the rain that had just started falling. He pushed his glasses up and gave me a nervous smile. "Hey, Henley.""Henry? What are you doing here?""I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to come see you," he apologized. "Mrs. Calloway made Bennett and I go to Hawaii last week. We just got back today.""Wait, what? You guys hav
