Chick-Lit Plus Blog Tour: This Tangeled Thing Called Love by: Marie Astor Excerpt

“By the way, I missed you at the Metro opening.” Lindsay remarked after the waitress had taken their orders.

“Yeah, sorry about that – David wanted to leave early.”

“Too bad – it would have been nice to get a picture of the two of you and maybe a couple of quotes from David Lawson.” When pronouncing David’s name, Lindsay titled back her head and pushed up her nose. 

“Knock it off – David is not like that at all.”

“Fine, maybe he’s not, but I wouldn’t know since Mr. Lawson never seems to have time for your friends.”

Claire shrugged. “He’s been working so much lately – he really wants to prove himself at the office.”

“Oh, please! Give me a break – he is the owner’s son. I’d say he’s got the way pretty much paved for him.”

“David wants everyone to know that he’d earned his position.” Claire sighed. “You don’t really like David, do you?”

“It’s irrelevant whether I like him or not – I’m not the one dating him.”

“But you’re my best friend – your opinion is important to me.”

“Mine, not Amber’s?”

“You’re both my best friends.” Claire sighed with exasperation – ever since middle school, they had been an inseparable trio: Amber, Lindsay and Claire, and the silent rivalry between Amber and Lindsay dated equally far back. Amber was outgoing and bossy, Lindsay was witty and practical, and Claire was thoughtful and caring - the balance between the two. It was hard to say just what exactly united the three friends: maybe it was that each had the qualities the other one lacked, but suffice it to say, their friendship had taken them through childhood, adolescence and college to the world of adulthood.

“Yeah, I know. I just don’t trust Amber’s choice of men for you, that’s all. After all, she’s the one who set you up with David, right?”

“She introduced us, yes. David is her client.”

“Exactly, and Amber could make one believe that the devil is a saint if she were his PR agent.”

“David is not a devil – he is sweet and charming.”

“Hey, I’m not the one you need to convince of your boyfriend’s virtues. Like I said, if you’re happy, I’m happy for you. But something is telling me there’s trouble in paradise.”
