The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Seventy-Seven
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.I let my hands brush down the front of my dress as I approached the entrance to The Black Door, seeing the line of cars discreetly staged outside, full of members waiting to get in. I couldn’t look at them, terrified that they would hate what I did inside and know that I was behind it. All day, I had been on the verge of an anxiety attack, so nervous for tonight that I could barely hold down the crackers Paul forced me to eat. He looked phenomenal in his suit, and I hated that Lydia was going to see him like this. The bouncer and hostess waved me through immediately, and I gave them a terrified smile as I passed, but they didn’t seem to notice. The daytime manager who had shown me around before Justin attacked me was sitting up front, collecting phones and handing out bracelets as people came in. I was praying that meant Heather was enjoying the inside and wasn’t in there putting out fires instead. We had been putting out fire after fire this week, and I wasn
The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Seventy-Six
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. Two days. I had only two days left before I would be standing before Justin and the Judge. Two days left until I would be legally free. Paul walked around the car, opening the door for me, on high alert. The closer we got to the hearing, the more anxious he became. I had thought his sleep deprivation was making him paranoid until I had researched the rates of violence surrounding divorce, and realized that he wasn’t. Justin’s criminal trial was less than a week away, so if he were going to make a move, it would be soon. Sliding out of the car, I had barely made it two steps before I heard her. “Charlotte!” Paul backed up against me, shielding me with his own body. “Back in the car!” Not questioning him, I spun quickly, grabbing the handle as he moved to place his back to me, yanking the door open. “It’s just me!” Tara called out, and I rolled my eyes, turning to face her. “Get back!” Paul ordered her, and surprisingly, she stopped moving. “He is
The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Seventy-Five
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. Walking into The Black Door, I almost didn't recognize it.The bar had been moved to the other side of the room, and the staff seemed happier not to have to go as far when restocking from the back room.There was more room to move freely, and with the new light fixtures and the new flooring, the energy felt entirely different. From the look on Heather’s face, I wasn’t the only one who loved it. She was beaming as we inspected the completed work.For the first time since the deadline was moved up, I actually felt good about leaving at a normal time, knowing everything was working out. Things were going well, and I needed to see my parents. It had been too long since I had been off work before the end of visiting hours, and I hated it.Leaving early for the day, I went against every instinct I had to go home and get a real night of sleep. Instead, I picked up dinner and headed for the hospital. The room was quiet when I entered, and I knew I made the right choic
The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Seventy-Four
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.The days had started to blur together.I didn’t remember falling asleep that night, but by the work clothes I woke up in, it hadn’t been planned.As I did every day for the past week, I went through the motions.Got up and dressed.Drank enough coffee to overdose on caffeine for the day, then spent the day between my office and the club, hunched over blueprints, talking to contractors, and taking call after call.It felt like I barely had time to breathe, and if it weren’t for Paul’s concern, begging me to take a break for lunch, I would have gone through the whole day without any breaks, let alone water or food.“Did you get any sleep?” Heather said as she walked into the club, seeing me already busy at work, talking to the contractors. Instinctively, my eyes flittered behind her, searching for Derek, but like always he wasn’t there. Why wo

CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.Lydia was quieter than I had ever seen her before. It didn’t help that every time she went to speak, she would glance at Paul and then shut down, only giving me one- to two-word answers. I needed a distraction, and this wasn’t what I had expected, but it was certainly doing the trick. Every time I started to think about the news Rebecca had just given me, Lydia or Paul would make a noise or glare at each other. I was pretty sure at one point, Lydia had gone to kick him, but he dodged it, and I watched her groan in pain after we heard her foot hit the metal table stand. When we got back to the office, Lydia didn’t even go inside. She practically ran to her car and was out of the parking lot before we made it through the front door. I wanted to ask Paul what happened before lunch, but I didn’t get the chance.“Charlotte, conference room in five minutes,” Rebecca called out with a smile, and I nodded. Getting news of an impromptu afternoon meeting right before lu

LYDIA’S P.O.V. I didn’t think I had ever dreaded my monthly lunch with Charlotte before, but as my heels clicked on the floor as I entered her office, a cold knot settled into my stomach. Not because of her, but because of the man sitting at the desk next to hers. A woman stood before him in a bright green, polka-dot dress, and I couldn’t help but groan as he smiled up at her, flashing his dimples… well, he would have been if he hadn’t grown out his beard. I didn’t like the way his smile dropped as soon as she walked away and his eyes landed on me. What could she have possibly said that made him so happy a minute ago? Besides, if anyone should be pissed off of the two of us, it was me! “Lydia!” Charlotte exclaimed, and I forced a smile as I looked away from Paul to see my stunning best friend straightening some papers on her desk before standing to join me. “Ready for lunch?” I asked, trying to shake off the mix of anger, discomfort, and irritation that I got every time I saw…

CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. My mouth opened and then closed again as blood rushed to my cheeks. What did I think happened in here? There was no answer I could give that wouldn't make me want to melt into the floor out of humiliation. Standing in the middle of the room wasn’t helping. There was a lar

CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V.I spent the entire ride home pretending like I wasn’t staring at a cocktail napkin, but unfortunately, Lydia noticed everything. She was also sober, and I was…. Not. At all. “Do you need help sounding it out?” Lydia asked and then pressed her lips together as she tried to hide
The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Seventeen
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. Two large men stood on either side of the VIP rope, and a thrill of excitement burst through me when they opened it without a single word, allowing me in. I'd expected at least one of them to stop me, but I was pleasantly surprised as I walked through it. “Enjoy your evening,
The Accidental Almost Kiss with my Ex's Uncle Fifteen
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V. By the time I got home from work, my eyes felt drier than a desert, but my day wasn’t over yet. Between Vanessa breathing down my neck, trying to prove her dominance over me, Rebecca stopping by hourly to remind me how important this was, and trying to learn everything I could
