A Complicated Summer of Love (Complicated Love Series #3) by D M Midgley Read Free Book Online

Annabelle looks down before pouting. She always does that when she wants me to forgive her, so I laugh at her stupid expression.
    “Sorry, but I’m excited for you. I’ve been rooting for you guys to finally see sense. You both want it, and I’ve never understood why you couldn’t be together. It’s not like you are looking elsewhere, and the way he looks at you, my God, I could melt with the amount of sexual tension that is sizzling between you two.” Lily sits up and smirks.
    “You need to take him back to the bungalow and fuck him.”
    I gasp. “Lily! Ssh, not you too. Why do you two have to be so loud? They are only over there, you know!” I wave my hands toward them to make my point. Lily holds up her hands.
    “Okay, I’m just saying…go and spend a night between the sheets with ‘ you know who’ and I’m sure you two will be grinning insanely in the morning.” She snatches up my glasses that were laying on my towel and puts them on before laying back down. I turn back to Annabelle.
    “I can’t just go over to him and drag him back to the bungalow. That’s insane.”
    Annabelle laughs and shakes her head. “I don’t think he’d complain, but maybe it might be best to find the right time for you two without everyone knowing your business.” I get what she means and plus, it would be really embarrassing dragging him off in front of everyone. I look over at the guys and they seem to be having a good time.
    “How are you and Joshua now?” Annabelle sighs and looks at me, but at least she’s smiling.
    “Everything’s fine now. I cooked him dinner on Sunday night after getting some things off my chest, and he was back to the Joshua I fell in love with. Sometimes there are moments when he’s quiet and I think that something is going on with him, but he says he’s fine, so I have to trust him and I do…more than anything.” She takes a breath, and I see a sly smile on her face. “Plus, he definitely made up for it that night, if you know what I mean?” How could I not with the smile that’s gracing her lips.
    “I get what you mean.” I chuckle and I’m happy for her. I knew it was killing her, not knowing what she’d done wrong. I can still see some pain in her eyes when she talks about these quiet moments that Joshua still has. I haven’t noticed anything different about him, but I don’t really know him that well. “I’m glad you’re happy, Annabelle.” She gives me a hug and I turn around to see Maddison bouncing toward us. She always seems to be so chipper and happy. Lily leans up on her elbows and watches Madison approaching.
    “What’s her deal? Who invited her?” She wrinkles her nose and I know that she hates that Maddison has been spending so much time with Brandon.
    “That was my idea,” Annabelle pipes up. “She seems really lonely. She doesn’t have any friends that I know off, so I thought it would be nice to invite her. She’s always nice to me, and we get on well. Plus, she helps Joshua out a lot. I kind of feel sorry for her.”
    “Well, I don’t like her. There’s just something about her that really irritates me.” I glance at Lily and she’s glaring at Maddison.
    I roll my eyes. “I think you don’t like her because she likes Brandon.” I smirk when her eyes snap to me.
    “I-I…That’s not true!” She reverts her eyes away. “I couldn’t care less if she’s interested in Brandon,” she mumbles, but me and Annabelle both hear her and burst out laughing. Lily looks totally bothered as she sits there with a scowl on her face, but before she can say anything else, Maddison bounds up to us.
    “Hey, guys! What are you all up to?” She looks between Annabelle and me. I find it strange that she doesn’t acknowledge Lily, but Lily doesn’t seem to care as she’s looking anywhere but at Maddison.
    “Nothing much really. We’re just relaxing and watching the guys playing volleyball,” Annabelle speaks before it gets awkward.
    “Yeah, that looks
