Here Comes the Light (Cambrooke #1) Read Online Free

getting back together if we weren’t in love. Nova bounces over to my door where our dresses hang. I slide to where Nova was and do the whole lean forward and make an o with my mouth as I put on my mascara and eye liner. My hair is on top of my head in big curlers.
    Have I made a mistake in telling Hudson I would finally go through with it?
    Jess comes barreling in my room in her skin-tight-barely-there-red dress, her hair and makeup already done. “Hey, hey girls ready for tonight?”
    I turn to look at her with only one eye done. “Not really.” I bite my lower lip. “I am nervous about the after party.”
    Jess giggles as she takes a seat on the bench beside me. “Miley,” she tilts her head with a small smile as she begins to pull the curlers out of my hair. “Just get a couple of drinks in you and you will be fine.”
    I nod as I take in a deep nervous breath. When Jess is done with my hair I finish making up my other eye. I slip on my short strapless purple dress-the dress Jess picked out for me.  I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself. At least it isn’t skin tight like Jess’s dress.
    “Wow, Miley, you look great.” Nova gushes, “Did you lose some weight?”
    “Yeah.” I smile that someone recognizes it. “I reached my goal.”
    “I don’t know how you do it.” Nova shakes her head as she stands behind me in her blue gown with no back. “I like my cookies, burgers and fries too much.”
    “She still has thunder thighs.” Jess chimes in glaring down at my thighs. My gut twists and now I wish I would have gone with a longer gown.
    The prom committee- which I wanted to be part of but Jess insisted it was for the students that are beneath us- went above and beyond to make prom an unforgettable experience. That is the theme this year, unforgettable. The decorations are elegant and make the ball room look like something out of an old move. Silver and Black balloons make an arch at the entrance it is like stepping into a time warp.
    Hudson’s hand squeezes mine and he smiles that knee melting smile at me. I almost forget about the after party when he does this. Jess had me drink a glass of champagne in the limo. It was horrible tasting but at least the butterflies are gone from my belly. I look up at my gorgeous boyfriend as he leads me to the dance floor. His arms wrap completely around me as he pulls me as close as he can. I slip my arms around his neck and rest my head on his shoulder.
    “Have I t old you how hot you look tonight?” his voice is husky as he whispers in my ear.  I just nod. Yeah he told me when he picked me up then again in the limo as his hand inched up my bare thigh. Of course he would like this dress.  He bends his head down and presses his lips against mine and his hands travel down my back.
    He finally disconnects his lips from mine then wh ispers in my ear again. “I already have the room key, we don’t have to wait until after prom.” And there it is.
    I sigh, “Hudson, can we just not enjoy prom first?’
    “Yeah,” he quickly says as he kisses my temple. He leans back just enough to look at my face and his grin is wide. “That’s fine.” His embrace around me grows tighter and he presses his lips against my neck. Normally this would send goose bumps all over my body, but I am too nervous about tonight.
    “Hudson, don’t do that here.” I shrug his mouth away. He looks at me with his incredible smile again. How can I possibly say no to him tonight? He looks like a little kid on Christmas morning and that Tux… he looks amazing in that Tux.
     
    “So how is it going?” I ask Nova as I lean in close to her. Ethan did come through; he got Coby to ask her to prom.
    “He’ s kind of quiet tonight.” She says as she rests her elbow on the table.
    “Huh.” Is all I reply as I watch Hudson and Coby walk into the boys’ bathroom. I know what they are doing. Guys only go to the restroom together at these things for one thing, to drink.
    “How is
