Read First Love for Free Online

one who cheated on me? Well this is that asshole." I never took my eyes off of Kyle. He is fuming. His cobalt eyes fix on me and I don't think he blinks them once. His hands are at his sides, fists clenching. He shakes his head and looks at me, confused. Then, he grabs my arm and drags me into the back to his office.
    He pushes me through the door and closes it behind him. We stand there for what seems like hours, just staring at each other. If it is possible, he is even better looking than he was six years ago. He was still a boy then, but he is all man now. Just looking at him has butterflies dancing in my stomach and my heart beating double-time. He's six-foot-three with dark brown hair that’s not too long, but not too short. It is perfect for running your fingers through or grabbing a hold of when ... I better not go there right now. His facial hair is sexy as hell, not too much, just like he hasn’t shaved in a couple of days. And his body … is amazing. He has definitely been hitting the gym. Through his tight, white t-shirt you can tell his arms and chest are muscular in all the right places with one very impressive set of abs. He has on a pair of loose-fitting jeans that hang off his hips just right, but let you see that he has a spectacular ass. And, of course, he has his signature, brown cowboy boots on. They are actually the boots I bought him for his eighteenth birthday. When I look back to his face for just a quick second, the anger is gone. He seems amused that I am checking him out ... but that is oh so brief.
    "What are you doing here, Amber? And why are you working in my bar?" he asks, trying to sound angry, but there is a quiver in his voice that makes me think he is a little nervous.
    Wow, I guess this isn’t going to be a happy reunion.
    "I moved back to town a little over a month ago. And, when I got a job here, I didn't know this was your bar. Hell, I didn't even know you still lived here. Last I knew, you lived in L.A."
    He shakes his head. The angry fire coming back into his eyes.
    "So, if you knew I lived here, you wouldn't have come back?" he spits. Okay, now I am getting pissed. He cheated on me, not the other way around. What in the hell is he so pissed off about?
    "That is not what I said. I don't know what your problem is with me, exactly, but if anyone should be angry, it should be me. You are the one who cheated―”
    “That is the second time you said that … I never cheated on you! I am pissed because you left one day without saying a word. No reason, no goodbye, nothing. Hell, it took me three fucking years to find out where you went!" He interrupts, throwing his hands up in the air. Before he puts his head down, I can see sadness in his eyes. Then, it hits me. Holly said he was in love and the girl took off without saying goodbye. Was that me?
    "Kyle, I left town because I was heartbroken. I went to surprise you with tickets I had won and found Nora in your bed … naked." The last part comes out as a whisper, the fire dying in my voice. It still hurts to think about it, but hurts so much worse to say it out loud.
    He looks pissed again. "Fuck! I can't believe you would think for a second that I would do that to you! And with her, of all people! I came out of the shower and found her in my bed. I was pissed. I guess she thought if I saw what she had to offer, I wouldn’t be able to resist. She was sadly mistaken. I told her to get her ass dressed and get out. I found those tickets in the envelope by the front door but never knew where they came from. After I got rid of Nora, I went to your house to tell you what she pulled and show you the tickets, but your grandparents said you were sick. You wouldn't answer your phone or texts. I came back after two days and you were gone." He leans on the corner of his desk. “Do you have any idea what kinds of things went through my head? I thought maybe I did something wrong, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was. Then, I
