Miranda…
I was always the life of the party, the happy
one.
Until Preston killed my soul.
When he came into my life, he destroyed me. I was a shell of
my former self, pretending to be fine while wishing I wouldn't wake up
the next day. I never dreamed my best friend would come back into my life...and
bring Brad Nicholson with her.
I never dreamed the homicide detective with the cocky
attitude could show me my worth again. He could show me that my life could be
amazing every day.
Until the day he found out about my past with Preston. Then,
I was sure he'd see the real Miranda and ditch me for good.
Brad…
From a young age, I made a decision.
I knew what I wanted to do with my life and from that point
on, my work molded me. Everything became routine. Casual. Until Mackenzie
walked into my life, bringing her best friend, Miranda, with her.
From the first moment I saw Miranda, I knew she could be
someone special. I didn’t have time for relationships, but she was
different. She was a piece of the puzzle that could be missing. But she was
broken, I could see that. And all I wanted to do was turn her into the girl I
knew she really was beneath her perfectly placed
mask.
The door slowly opened and my
heart stuttered. Brad slowly crept into my room, locking eyes with
me. What in the hell is he doing
here? The urge to slap the shit out of him was strong, but
I somehow refrained.
“Um, hi,”
he whispered, sounding nervous. Too shocked and confused, I just stared at
him.
“Can I come
in?”
I nodded and sat up further on
my bed. “What…what are you doing here?” I asked,
finally finding my words.
He walked to the foot of the
bed and sat down on the side. Handing me a bag, he said, “I hope you
don’t mind your roommate letting me in. It’s your birthday
and I wanted to give you your
gift.”
“Give me a
gift?” I questioned.
“Yeah.” He
glanced at his watch. “I was afraid I’d miss it, but I
still have fifteen minutes.”
I cocked my head to the side.
Did he really think he could go out and pick up some whore and then…I
couldn’t even bring myself to think
it.
“I had to work
tonight. I came over here as soon as I got off.” I’m
sure he got off all
right.
“You are such a
liar.” I scoffed and shook my head. “I don’t know
why you are here, but you can
go.”
“I understand why
you’re mad. And I deserve that, but I’ve never lied to you,
Miranda.”
