Searching for Harmony (Boston Love 1)
Throwing her head back, Angie began jumping. “You’re gonna be twenty-one in a few hours, Harmony! Aren’t you excited?”
Shrugging my shoulders, I said, “I guess I am. I haven’t really been thinking about it.”
“Well, we’re gonna dance our asses off. When was the last time you went to a club?”
Scrunching my nose up, I said, “Um, maybe high school.”
Angie froze, then slowly shook her head. “I promise you, Harmony, you’re gonna be finding your groove tonight and I don’t mean just dancing. Did I mention Preston’s room is in the attic? Far away from everyone.”
Looking at Angie with a confused expression, I asked, “What does that have to do with anything?”
Rolling her eyes, she spun me around and quickly pulled my hair up and put it in a French twist. Pulling a few strands down, she looked at me in the mirror.
“Harmony, do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”
Blushing, I looked away. Turning me around to face her, Angie looked into my eyes. “Do you have any idea how much my brother is over the moon for you?”
Biting on my lower lip, I smiled. “You think?”
“Oh honey, I don’t think…I know. And after tonight, you won’t have any questions about it and you will totally understand my reference to his bedroom.”
Angie ran over to the closet and slipped on a pair of red high heels. She handed me a pair of black heels as she smiled a naughty grin. Angie and I were exactly the same dress and shoe sizes. Slipping the shoes on, I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. I didn’t even recognize the woman standing in the mirror. Somewhere between getting pregnant, getting married, and losing a part of myself, I’d become a woman.
Glancing over my shoulder, I watched Angie put on lipstick. Smiling, I looked back into the mirror. Up until a few hours ago, I hadn’t known what I was thankful for, but now I knew exactly what I was thankful for: that entire day, as well as the family I was quickly falling in love with.
Chapter 16
Already Fallen
Preston
Sitting on the sofa talking to my father, my brothers and I all waited for Angie and Harmony.
“Don’t stay out too late, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And keep an eye on your sister.”
Finn laughed. “Dad, this is Angie we are talking about. The last time we all went out to this club, Wes almost beat the living shit out of some guy for looking at Angie the wrong way. I think between the three of us, we’ll keep our eyes on her.”
My mother sat down next to my father and reached for his hand. “Now, boys, let the poor girl have fun. She’s been feeling down the last few days since her boyfriend broke up with her.”
Dad jerked his head to look at my mother. “Let her have fun? Hell, no.” Turning and pointing at each of us, he said, “You watch her like a hawk.”
Wes laughed and said, “Better not count on Preston for that, Dad.”
Looking at Wes, I pulled my head back and was about to ask why when he continued talking.
“I’m thinking his eyes are going to be glued to someone else all night.”
Looking toward the stairs, I saw Harmony and my mouth dropped open. She was dressed in a teal dress that fell to the middle of her thighs. Swallowing hard, my eyes moved across her body. She was laughing at something Angie was saying as they walked down the stairs.
Motherfucker. She is gorgeous. How am I going to keep guys away from her when she looksd like that?
The top part of the dress was covered in sparkly shit, but the way her breasts looked in the dress had my dick growing painfully hard.
“Son, you might want to at least close your mouth while you stare at her. It’s more polite.”
Looking at my father, I whispered, “W-what?”
“You’re staring at Harmony with your jaw down to the floor, son.”
