Iwantedto fall to my knees for this woman.
Soon, I would no longer hold back.
CHAPTER THREE
Crimson
How was this happening?
How?!
I was in the hot mountain man’s truck.
Holy shit.
I was in his truck!
While he went inside to pick up our order of cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes, I picked up my phone and quickly texted Cora and my best friend, Hope.
Me: GUYS. You will NOT believe where I am rn
Cora: On the toilet
Hope: Please tell me you’re finally getting laid
Cora: LMAO
Me: Close…I am in a hot mountain man’s truck
Hope: No fuckin’ way
Cora: You’re lying!
Me: Yep. Maybe cutting down my own tree was a good idea after all
Cora: OMG! details girl! now!
Hope: Yessss. I love this for you! Did he cut down your tree? Please tell me he’s going to water your garden tonight.
Cora: I’m dead
Me: Yes he cut down my tree. I’ll keep you posted
Cora: You better!
Hope: Love you! Get it gurrrrllll!
I giggledto myself like a little girl, all giddy and full of nerves and excitement.
How was this real?
Usually I’d be home, alone or with the girls, drinking wine, watching shitty TV, or working on my online store. I ran a fashion boutique and loved styling outfits and putting together boxes for women to buy based on custom styles. I’ve always been obsessed with clothes and shoes and one day, I hoped to open a storefront.
I loved my quiet life. Sure, I wanted a husband and family one day, but I wasn’t on the hunt.
Suddenly, it landed in my lap out of nowhere.
A week before Christmas.
