ADRIAN

Selfish. Selfless.

Caring. Nonchalant.

What difference did it ever make?

I grabbed the alarm before it could finish its first buzz and hurled it toward the door. Plastic cracked hard against wood, then scattered across the floor in useless pieces.

Who gave her the right to judge me?

Like she wasn’t a hypocrite herself.

Like she sat above the rest of us with clean hands and cleaner intentions.

Like hope and trust were virtues she actually lived by, not costumes she wore when it suit

  • Roommates With My Best Friend's Boyfriend    Goodbye?

    TIFFANYI wasn't pregnant.Still, last night, I could've died of a heart attack. I'd imagined it more times than I was willing to admit. Me. A mother. At this point in my life. What would I do?How would I even go about it?The more I thought about it, the less I wanted to think about it. Luckily, tonight was the perfect distraction. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s ‘Colors of The Wind’ drifters in from my speakers, and filled my room with a light, gentle flow. For a split second, I almost forgot my life felt like it was about to end last night. I smiled to myself when I snagged another peek at the sleek purple dress spread out on my bed. Nothing too fancy, but I couldnt take my eyes off it. Maybe because it was purple.Maybe because I knew walking out of the house wearing something like that would be another journey on its own. Or maybe, just maybe, it was because tonight, for some reason, felt like an ending and a beginning all at that same time.Then again, maybe I was

  • Roommates With My Best Friend's Boyfriend    Are You

    MASON“Hey. Hey hey, what are you doing?!”Kayla damn near dashed through the living room and blocked me off before I could reach the door.I tilted my head, a tuft of hair falling with the movement. “You’re so confusing. One minute you want me to focus on work, and the second I do, you stop me from answering the door?”“Maybe because it’s not your job,” she snapped, somehow keeping it under a whisper. “Besides, even if it was, why on earth would you answer the door dressed like this?”I looked down at myself.Robe. Loose pants. Bare feet on my own floor.“It’s nine at night,” I said. “This is my house.”“Go upstairs and get dressed. I’m not letting you sabotage the only decent deal we’ve gotten in the city.”I took a step closer. “You know, sometimes I think you forget who’s the boss in this dynamic.”Kayla was 5’7. Towering over her was nothing new.It just didn’t mean much when she looked at me like ‘that’.“Tsk.” I turned for the stairs. “I’ll be down in ten. Handle everything til

Like hope and trust were virtues she actually lived by, not costumes she wore when it suited her.Half the people in her precious little circle didn’t even know who she really was.Fuck Bianca.I rolled off the bed, stripped, and headed for the shower with my jaw already tight. My eyes felt heavy, lined with the kind of exhaustion sleep was supposed to fix and never did. I’d barely closed them. Every time I did, last night came back in pieces… her voice, her expression, that irritating moral high ground she stood on like it made her untouchable.By the time the water hit my shoulders

  • Roommates With My Best Friend's Boyfriend    A Scene At The Pharmacy

    THEOI wanted to ignore it.I wanted to lie to myself and pretend I hadn’t spent the entire walk from the car praying to every god I still half-believed in that Tiffany Reese would be in that pharmacy. This was her side of the city. I knew that. I’d known it the second I drove to Chloe's and waited for Brian at the sidewalk.Ever since the restaurant, she and I had become experts at avoidance…two people with so much history and absolutely no language left for it.So yes. I hoped.I prayed.I’d bargained with the kind of quiet desperation a man only used when pride had already failed him.And now, her digital pregnancy test was in my hand.The box felt too light for what it meant. Clean packaging. Soft pink lettering. The sort of ordinary object that could detonate a life. Tiffany didn’t answer when I asked if she was looking for it. She only straightened, snatched it from my fingers, and shoved it deep into her bag as if speed alone could undo the fact that I had seen it.A dozen que

  • Roommates With My Best Friend's Boyfriend    Pregnancy Scare

    TIFFANY“Is it just me, or has something felt off about Mr. Campbell of recent?”After four days at Lang Corp, the only thing I still hadn’t gotten used to was coworker gossip.Seriously.Sometimes they talked about interesting things.Like how Gerard from Finance had been caught blackmailing a colleague for sex after discovering she’d been embezzling funds.Or three days ago, when Josie ditched an interview because her abusive boyfriend got released from jail.Other times, they talked about things I actively wanted no part of.Like how everyone in the office was sleeping with everyone else.Or, for a current example, this conversation.“I heard his mom was diagnosed with cancer after that long back-and-forth with illness,” Debbie, Head of Personnel, said over a cup of cocoa. “I really hope she’ll be okay. She’s such a nice lady.”A strange silence followed. Ferran, her partner in the department, glanced at her with an expression that was pure unimpressed.“That’s not what happened, D

    BRIANWas this… a joke?I turned to Theo before Matt or Sabrina had even made it to the table, but he didn’t meet my gaze.He was staring at them too.“What a lovely couple,” Chloe said, voice warm enough to belong to a different room entirely. “Please, have a seat.”Matt sank into the empty chair beside me. Sabrina took the one beside Theo.Up close, Matt looked exactly as he always did… composed, expensive, and quietly pleased with himself. Sabrina kept her eyes lower, hands folded in her lap, the picture of controlled silence. Whatever she was feeling, she had locked it down tight.“I hope you’re hungry,” Chloe continued.That was the moment it fully clicked.This HAD to be a joke.“Thanks for the offer, Mrs. Anderson, but I’d rather not,” Matt said. “It’s probably best for all of us if we get straight to business.”Chloe smiled as if he’d asked for more gravy.“Business can wait until the turkey is served.”Caleb set the platter down in the center of the table with careful hands
