Whiskey Dreams (Rebel Walking #7) Read Online Free Page A

didn’t say a female friend.  I’m never here and she’s just not used to seeing me with someone.  She’s definitely never seen me take a stranger to one of our houses.  I just hope she goes easy on her.
    “I’m from the West Coast.”
    “What has you in this little part of the world?”
    “I’m taking a vacation.”
    “That’s nice!  I hope you like it here.  It’s one of my favorite places to escape to.  Our family owns a couple of houses out here and we’re just fortunate we can get out here when we want.”  I listen to the two of them make nice while I text Holden.  He’s not happy that I haven’t been by the cabin.  Shit.
     
    Holden:  I need you to go there now.  I can’t get her to answer.  Ev is up my ass and honestly this girl has been through some major shit.  I know I can count on your ass.  What in the fuck is taking you so damn long, Cowboy?
    Aiden:  On my way now.
     
    Damn it.  I know this is about to fuck up my whole night.  “Macy, can you stop by Old Man Mallard’s place before you take us out there?  I need to check on something.”  Holden is adamant that I check on this girl.
    “Sure.  We’ll stop out there right after you go in and get your damn food.  You’re full of demands tonight Aiden.”  She pulls us into the parking spot and I turn to see if Brie wants anything.
    “You hungry?”
    “I’ll come in with you.”  I hold the door and watch Brie move as she climbs out of the truck.  Fuck.  I wish it was my truck she was climbing out of.  I can almost imagine her in the center seat, sliding her fine ass across my driver’s seat to get out.
    I can’t believe I’m about to mess this shit up.  I have to go to the cabin and check on that girl for Holden.  I get that she’s been through alot and I’m not sure I should take these girls out there, but I’m hoping she’s asleep and I can just tell him to chill his shit and let her sleep.  If he’s this connected I know I have to pull through.  He hasn’t told me all the details, but I know she’s Luke’s girl from California and I know Luke is now with Lilly, so I can imagine this girl is a broken mess.  Where I’m normally the best guy to go in and take care of a broken woman, tonight I just want to spend time with this girl right here next to me.
    “You know this is a terrible date.  Don’t tell anyone because McDonald’s cheeseburgers on a first date will ruin my reputation.  I never eat this shit.”  Her laughter goes through me and I watch her face as she looks at the menu to order.  She’s obviously not a regular here either.
    “I guess just order me what you’re having.”
    “Four cheeseburgers coming your way.”  The shock on her face amuses me.
    “Wait.  What?  No.  I just want one.”
    “Haha.  I thought so!”  I order our food and a few drinks, knowing my time with her will possibly be over soon.  She pulls out her phone and scrolls through a few things before she frowns and slides it back in her pocket.
    “You need to save my number before you put that away.”  She looks at me confused for a brief second before she slides it back out and lets me enter my number.  We take the food to go and the second we get back in, I've turned on the light above me, pulled the fries out and have a cheeseburger in my mouth.  She holds hers and I offer Macy one of mine.
    "Those smell.  You know I don't eat that crap, Aiden."
    "Well, tonight I'm fucking hungry.  Don't judge my ass."  We drive awhile in silence before we turn into the long driveway to the cabin.  Brie starts to really look around.  I open my third tiny cheeseburger and take a bite.
    "Holden will have your ass if you get all fat on him.  How do you plan to run a business like you do eating like this?"
    "Ahhhh.  It'll be alright little sister.  Don't you worry about me."
    "You work with someone named Holden?"  Brie turns to look at me.  Her eyes have changed.
    "Yeah.  He's my business
