A Crush on Her Best Friend's Brother: Complete Box Set (24 page)

Linda
pulled her into the house. There was music playing and laughter
everywhere. Linda had her house decorated for the holiday, with cute
things everywhere. Jessica was surprised at how many people were
already there. The party had just started. Linda walked her to the
bar area so she knew where to get her drinks. Then, she pulled her
off to meet people. Jessica had no idea how she was going to remember
all of the names Linda was throwing at her. She met so many new
people. Linda was so proud of her party, and she was having such a
great time.

Jessica
laughed as she walked over to her group of friends from work. She was
the manager in their department, but nobody would ever know watching
them. They all got along really well. Tammy, Leslie, and John were
already there. Their friend Heather would be there later with her
date. A few more people were supposed to be going also. They were
surprised to see her all dressed up. She felt beautiful for the first
time in a long time. John ran off and came back with a drink for her.
He made sure to tell her how beautiful she looked. She took the drink
and thanked him. He was very nice to her. She did not know why she
had not given him a chance. He really liked her and was always
concerned with her and how she was doing. It was not that he was not
attractive. Many of the ladies at work liked him. He was tall and
muscular. His hair was dark and his eyes were blue. He was very
attractive. No matter how many times she turned him down, he still
tried to get her to go out with him. He would laugh and joke about
it, but she knew he was serious. She thought he was super sweet. Her
sister thought she was crazy for not going out with him. Renee would
joke about how good he would be in bed. Jessica would always tell her
to be quiet. Jessica caught him looking at her several times during
the party as they all talked. There was nothing wrong with him. If
she was going to date, he would be her first choice. Jessica didn't
care how many times he asked her out, she would always say no. Love
was not in her future. She saw no reason to put her heart out there
for someone to tear it up and throw it back at her. Her life was just
fine the way it was.

Leslie
grabbed Jessica's arm and pulled her off to dance. Tammy and John
joined them as well. They all danced like crazy. Every few songs,
they would stop to grab a drink and talk. Jessica was having an
amazing time. It was nice to not think about stress for an evening.
She was happy her sister had talked her into going. The night was
turning out to be so much fun. A slow song came on, and John pulled
her toward him. They laughed as he spun her and pulled her back in.
She felt so pretty and confident. It was the first time she had
really let herself go around her friends from work. They were shocked
by how well she could dance. She agreed to let them take her out to a
club one day. Jessica was actually looking forward to it. She
continued to dance with John. Jessica heard the door bell and saw
Linda bring Heather and her date in as John dipped her. She felt her
body freeze as she heard Heather's date laugh. Jessica would know
that laugh anywhere. He came into view and their eyes connected.
