"You never forget
your first love. Burn couldn't even though she had moved on. An
awesome love triange that 'burns' and keeps you reading."
Smashwords reviewer
When the school star
athlete, blue-eyed, blonde haired, Brody McGraw asks her out, Burn
can hardly believe her luck.
In record time they
start dating and she is thrilled when she can finally change her
Facebook profile status to ‘In a relationship’.
However, Brody’s
mother has huge political plans for her family and she makes it
clear, they do not include someone with Burn’s color.
When Burn suffers a
severe bout of self-loathing because of Dawn McGraw’s words, she is
forced to make a decision that will break her heart.
Enter Trojan Catrell, a
thug and an enemy of Brody McGraw. He wants what Brody has and he
pursues Burn.
Since she hankers after
Brody McGraw, Burn’s not interested.
However, Trojan has no
intention of taking no for an answer and a long triangle that lasts
for years ensues.
When he sees me, he
smiles. A sheepish smile. Again, he’s wearing a long-sleeve black
shirt, dark jeans, dreads tied back, and a stud in his ear. He has no
other jewellery on.
“What’s your
pleasure, sir?” I ask notepad and pencil in hand.
You.
I smile.
“What do I have to do
to get you to get on the bar and do a Coyote Ugly for me?”
I look at the ceiling,
then at him. “You’d have to dance with me.”
“No way!” he
laughs. “I’ll just have a beer.”
“What kind of beer,
sir?”
He narrows his eyes at
me. “You choose. Impress me.”
“O … kay. One
ginger beer coming up.”
“Ginger beer? What
the fuck?!”
“And how would you
like your ginger beer, sir? Rare, medium-rare, well done …?”
“Lemmee think …on a
long body shot.”
I giggle and walk away
to fetch the beer. When I return, it’s with an icy-cold Stella
Artois and the entire staff.
His eyes flit around.
“What the …?”
To his absolute horror,
we clap and sing Happy Birthday to him.
He sinks lower into his
seat and eventually puts his hand over his eyes. “Burn, I’m gonna
fucking kill you!” he mutters as Tong Carlos and Madonna link arms
and dance around.
My response is to “Yip!
Yip!”
“Hooray!” they
chorus.
When they leave, he
tries to glare at me and fails. “I’m gonna get you back for
this,” he warns. sinking further into his chair. “I promise.”
“Whaddyamean? You
want them to sing in Chinese? I can arrange …”
“No!”
“Okay, okay!”
“So, what are you
doing here?”
He shrugs. “Was in
the neigborhood. ‘Sides, you promised me a drink and …”
“Ah.”
“It’s my birthday
on Saturday and I’m having it at Danes. I’d like you to come.”
I wasn’t expecting
him to invite me to a party.
“I want you to come.
Bring your friends too.”
“Danes? Bring my
friends? Wow! Really? Man, am I impressed!”
He nods. “I’ll send
a car for you guys.”
My jaw drops. He’ll
send a car! This is just too good to be true. Hang on, I’m
underage. Has he forgotten? Danes won’t allow me in.
“What? You need a
written invitation or something?’
I shake my head. “Only
one problem – my age. I tried to get fake IDs, but the guy stiffed
us for our money and …”
“Why ya trippin’?
Just be there. I got it covered.”
“Whaaaaat?!” I feel
faint with excitement. “You can get us in? Really?”
“Really.”
“I …” Wow! My
friends will worship me for life if I can get them into Danes. How do
I pass on it?
I look at him with one
eye closed. “What’s the catch?”
“Catch?” He thinks
about it. “One body shot.”
“Get lost!”
He laughs. “I’m
kidding!”
“No strings
attached?”
“None whatsoever. But
…this …” He wags his finger between us – it don’t count as
a date. We straight?”
I nod. “We straight.”
Hell, the dudes getting us into Danes – no more trippin’ from
me.
“Say yes.”
I smile. “Yes!”
His turn to smile.
“Cool.” He looks pleased.
