Forever Rain (Rain Will Fall Trilogy #1) Read Online Free Page B

University in Waco, TX, working on my nursing degree. For my summer break, I went to visit Jenna in Austin. Since she was getting married, I wanted to be with her until the wedding instead of me heading off to Houston to work at The Busy Bee Bookstore. I worked there during my senior year of high school and Mrs. Bailey took me back during my college breaks. The extra money came in handy and it kept me busy.
    Jenna and David’s wedding was a big deal in Austin since David’s family was a part of the Austin social scene. The wedding was lavish and Jenna was an exquisite bride. I was her maid of honor. Veronica and Mia were bridesmaids along with four of Jenna’s friends.
    That was where I first saw Jordan. He was speaking with David during the wedding reception and there was an incredibly beautiful woman on his arm. She had one arm hooked around his elbow and her other hand running slowly running up and down his biceps. She looked bored while scanning the room, her blonde hair in an updo with flawless features and a dress that fit her like a second skin. I tried not to stare at him but my eyes kept glancing in his direction. After a while one of the groomsmen asked me to dance and I gladly joined in the festivities.
    Another hour later and I was still following the gorgeous man with my eyes. I hoped that I was being inconspicuous. I sure didn’t want him to see me checking him out. After Jenna and David cut the cake, they danced to one more song and headed out to the waiting limo that would take them to the airport. Everyone lined up to wish them farewell. Jenna pulled me in a tight hug and we both burst into tears. David finally pulled us apart and kissed me on my cheeks. He made some jokes about being my bother now so he could finally boss me around. We laughed and hugged some more, then they were gone.
    I headed back inside and looked around for my date but he was off dancing with another girl, someone he found more interesting and fun, so I sat in my chair at the table making small talk with a couple I didn’t know. Mia and Veronica were dancing as well. I decided to have more cake until my friends returned.
    I kept glancing at the handsome couple as they made their way across the dance floor, but this time instead of going around again like they did before, they seem to have slowed down and were dancing in place not far from me. My eyes landed on the gorgeous man. He was watching me intently while listening to what the woman was saying. I quickly lowered my eyes and shoved another bite of cake into my mouth, which suddenly tasted like sawdust. I peeked at him from under my lashes to see that they moved on, but he was still looking at me.
    My friends made it back to the table babbling about the dance and hot guys and what a beautiful bride Jenna was. I participated in the conversation, but wasn’t fully engaged since I kept thinking of the magnificent, handsome man with brilliant blue eyes, dirty blond hair and an intense gaze that sent goose bumps across my body and a tingly feeling in places that had not yet been explored.
    “Dance with me,” a deep voice whispered in my ear, as a large hand enveloped mine and tugged me onto the dance floor. It was the gorgeous guy that I’d all but stalked for the past couple of hours. I was sure I was floating as he effortlessly guided me around the dance floor as the band sang “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack.
    “Hi,” he said, as I stared into his face. I was lost for a moment in his lovely features. Sinful lips that were made for kissing, a chiseled jaw that accented his features and those brilliant blue eyes that I’d been staring at all evening.
    “Hi,” I replied and quickly averted my eyes to stare at his tie which was the same color as his eyes.
    “My name is Jordan. You must be the sister of the bride.”
    “Yes. Yes, I am Jenna’s sister.”
    “Does Jenna’s sister have a name?”
    My eyes flew up to his as a blush covered my cheeks but I saw he was
