The Promise (Book Three of the Follow Your Heart Series)

Chapter 8

*Crystal's POV*  

I knocked on David's door when I heard him talking to someone.

"Who is it?" a female voice asked.

"Uh it's  Crystal," I answered.

"Oh my god, David! Is that your sister?" the voice asked and then the door flew open. I was pulled into a bone crushing hug and awkwardly patted the person on the back as they embraced me. I could see David chuckling behind me. I flipped him the bird behind her back and she finally pulled away. I took a good look at her. Well, I was right. His girlfriend was black. I guess he changed his mind about never marrying a black woman. Damn, he must really be in love.

"Hi, I'm Bree!" she exclaimed, holding out her hand. I grabbed her hand and shook it nervously. Um, this wasn't the girl I saw him in bed with earlier. Was my brother cheating on his own fiancée? No, he couldn't be, could he?

"I'm Crystal," I said, pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind.

"Oh my god, we're going to have so much fun together! We need to go get your dress! Come on!" she tried to usher me out of the room.

"Dress?" I questioned. I was beyond confused.

"Yes, silly! I want you to be one of my bridesmaids! You're David's sister! Of course you're going to play an important part in the wedding. Now what are your favorite colors?" she asked as she pulled me out of the room. We spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know one another. But that question was still in the back of my mind. Who was the chick he was with earlier?  

*Bobby's POV*  

I'd still been feeling down about getting kicked out of VFC, but Guerlenn has been trying to cheer me up. She's the only one that can make me feel like this. Damn, I've got it bad.

"Whatcha thinking about baby?" a voice whispered in my ear as arms wrapped around me from behind.

"How did all of this happen?" I asked.

Jayk's got two babies and a deceased ex, David's getting married, Drew's got a sex tape, my friends turn against me and then I'm kicked out of the group. Why would they do this to me? I felt tears trail down my cheek. I never cried, but the fact that some of my best friends, my brothers, betrayed me was killing me. "I'm going to fight back. I'm going to go full out. I want a lawyer," I told her, wiping my eyes fiercely.

"You're really going to go against them like that?" she questioned. "They went against me so why should I be any nicer? I'm going to return the favor. Get me the number for the best lawyer in town. I'm doing this and nobody can stop me."

She sighed. "Whatever you think is right." With that, she went off to the kitchen to search of the laptop to check Yelp.
