Burn For Him by Kristan Belle Read Free Book Online

like we had and then plan to stay in for the rest of the night with a pizza. We had all been in good moods and it would have been a total waste not to go out and enjoy it, especially when Destiny had managed to talk her father’s nurse into staying overnight to look after her father.
    “Yeah, but I more mean where are we going to go?” Harper rolled his eyes as he moved around Dee to grab another beer. “We’re banned from going to Revolve, remember?” He didn’t say it in a way to make Dee feel bad because he was over it now. He was just stating a fact that we were going to have to make a decision as to where to go.
    “Well then, we’re just going to have to go and try out somewhere new, aren’t we?” I said.
    “Yeah, but any ideas where?”
    “You do know that there is more than just the one club in this city.” I laughed. “What about Voltz? Or Underground?” I started ticking names off on my fingers when Dee suddenly jumped up to sit on the counter, swinging her ridiculously long legs in front of her.
    “What about that new place?”
    “What new place?” I asked her.
    “Damn. What’s its name? It was in the paper last night. Looks like a pretty extreme night out.” Dee grinned.
    “You mean Milligan’s?” Harper asked as he necked his beer, making a face. He was more of a spirit drinker, but seeing as the beer was cooling in the fridge, he’d opted for that.
    Destiny clapped her hands together. “Yes! That’s it! That’s the place. Milligan’s. It sounds like a pretty awesome night out from everything I’ve heard about it. What do you think? Do you guys want to go and try it out?”
    I grinned and looked over at Harper. Destiny must have noticed that he was looking a little hesitant as she quickly added, “And I won’t be drinking tonight, so you don’t have to worry about me causing any problems. We’re just going to go and have some fun.” She even had the decency to look a little sheepish.
    “So, you learnt your lesson last weekend then?” Harper asked her with a raised eyebrow.
    “No.” Dee laughed. “I’m still suffering from the after effects of the last hangover. I don’t think that my liver could handle another binge like that again just yet. At least give me a couple of weeks…” She winked at me as she hopped back down off the counter. I couldn’t help but laugh at her. She knew that she had screwed up and she had been trying to make things right with both of us over the past week.
    I had been snowed under at work and had no time for a social life so although I hadn’t seen her, we had still been in contact via text. That was about all I had time for and now that I could finally let my hair down and relax, I was going to take full advantage of the fact and have me some fun.
    I was surprised she had mentioned last weekend. Both Harper and I knew why she had lost control like that, but it had taken some time for me to explain more to Harper and he had agreed to cut her some slack.
    I hated to see this rift between them. They didn’t seem to talk to one another like they used to. The three of us were as close as ever, but Destiny confided in me a lot more than she did with Harper. I guessed that it was a girl thing. Plus, Harper and I were close anyway, even more so because we shared a home together. It meant that we shared more of our lives, whether we wanted to or not. We weren’t able to hide things from each other as easily as Destiny could.
    I had to admit that I had the best of both worlds with having Harper and Destiny as my best friends. With Dee, I had all the girly things that I needed in my life. She was like a sister to me. And, with Harper, he was able to give me a different level of support and perspective on things. It was great having a guy for a best friend. Sure, it often scared off potential boyfriends, but it they couldn’t handle me having Harper in my life, then they weren’t worth knowing anyway.
    “You’re going to have to make more of an
