Chasing Beautiful (Chasing Series #1) Read Online Free Page A

wanted to scream and lash out at him, but it wouldn’t change what he did. I guess, he didn’t want to wait; he wanted a change. I was hoping to catch him tonight and talk. I didn’t try calling his phone because I wanted to see his face, if he could say it to my face. I needed this closure, so I could bury the hatchet forever and never look back with regret. I needed a clean slate, no doubts hanging about in my semi-lucid brain.
    I knew he was going to show up ; he always shows up at parties and I don’t doubt that his ladylove will be with him too.
    “ Whatever, it doesn’t matter… just hang with me for a bit okay? I promise to take you for fro-yo tomorrow,” I said as I avoided her question. I cannot answer that myself at this moment. This was our always go-to place second to Starbucks.
    “ Here you go Ladies! Enjoy!” Purred the hot-tender .
    “ Thanks,” we said, synchronized.
    “ Okay, I’ll stick with you for awhile but not long. I don’t want someone else snagging that nice piece of meat before I do! God, have you seen that tight body?” Jen delightfully noted, glancing once back to the bartender before heading to the beach where some people we know from high school were located.
    “I want to just drag him somewhere dark and see if those lips live up to my imagination! Do you think he’ll be into me? ”
    I glanced at her like she had two horns on her head. “Have you gone mad hon? You know you’re a knockout right? Besides, he was totally checking you out.”
    Seriously, sometimes I think she doesn’t really know how beautiful she is. This part of Jen was the doing of a stupid, selfish ex-boyfriend who mentally and emotionally derided her, and she totally succumbed to the douchebag’s manipulative ways because she was blinded by love.
    In love or not, a person doesn’t deserve to be treated like that. This type of abuse can take a long time to recover from. Had I known this in the beginning, I would’ve snatched her away from Tony. But for three years, she never said a word about any of it. From the outside, everything seemed so perfect. Everyone always thought they were perfect for each other. I did too; I adored Tony. That’s why when she confessed her dilemma, I took charge and let her stay with me until everything blew over, and until Tony realized that she was serious about leaving him. Our senior year, she started to blossom into her own person and has been loving life ever since.
    Most men I know have a hard time resisting Jen when she’s on the prowl—there is no chance in hell her chosen man can escape. Who would really want to resist someone who resembles Heidi Klum in the looks department? Apart from Jen having killer looks, she has a sharp mind and she’s currently studying at USC to be a lawyer. She’d make a killing out of that one.
    “ Jen! Sienna! Good of you beautiful ladies to grace us with your presence tonight!”
    “ Mickey! I’ve missed you!” I laughed and gave him a huge hug and a peck on the cheek.
    Mickey’s the kind of guy who is always nice and respectful. He’s second generation Samoan and has the size of one too. He played defense on our football team at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks. You’ll never catch him talk crap about other people. Jen and I adore Mickey, everyone does.
    “ Nice to see you again, Jen!” Mick gave her a quick bear hug and released her with a grin.
    “ You too, Mick.” She jokingly punched his arm before she headed towards some other people we used to hang out with. I casually waved at the group and continued to stick with Mick. I didn’t want to go there and hangout. It would just invite questions and gossip about Kyle and I’m not ready to discuss it.  
    I scanned the area for any sightings of Kyle but it seem ed he had yet to arrive. I looked back at Mickey who seemed to be studying me with a twinkle in his eye.
    “Lookin g for someone in particular , Sienna?” Fishing, I see.
    “Huh? Oh, no. Just taking on
