Kassidy's POV

I sat through the rest of that evening with a smile nailed to my face. That might have been one of the hardest thing I had done since moving to Minnesota. It was all I could do not to cross the room and shut Richard Deering up with my fist.

This man talked and talked, and everyone else on the room laughed, nodded and hung on every word he said. All I could do was sit down there, watching him hold court. I couldn't help but feel a cold and ugly thimg move around in my stomach. Some

    Kassidy's POVI sat through the rest of that evening with a smile nailed to my face. That might have been one of the hardest thing I had done since moving to Minnesota. It was all I could do not to cross the room and shut Richard Deering up with my fist.This man talked and talked, and everyone else on the room laughed, nodded and hung on every word he said. All I could do was sit down there, watching him hold court. I couldn't help but feel a cold and ugly thimg move around in my stomach. Something I couldn't name out loud. There was a deep and persistent wrongness that showed up every time he was near. It had always been that way, even before I understood why. How could I forget what he did to me?I didn't like him in a room. I didn't like him near people I cared about, and I especially didn't like the way he looked at things. He acted like everything in his line of sight was up for his taking.Every time Richard said something harsh to Eli, I felt it in my own chest. He did it so s

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    29 - The evening

    Eli's POVBefore I saw my father, I heard his voice. How could I ever miss it? I would pick that grating voice out of a crowd of a thousand people.I sprang up from my seat, ignoring Devon's curious questions, and made for the front door. I was already feeling a mixture of anger and dread. When I got there, my father had Kassidy's hand in his, and he was pressing a kiss against her fingers."Kassidy Townsend," he greeted in that oily voice of his. "It's been a while, dear."Kassidy looked like she wanted to throw up. I stepped forward. "Dad."He looked up at me, and the warmth he had directed at Kassidy cooled by about ten degrees. "Oh. Eli." He released her hand and straightened up, looking me over the way he always did, slowly, as though he was taking inventory and finding me lacking. "You look rough. The season just started, and you already look like this?""Good to see you too," I replied sarcastically. "I can see you have missed me."He smiled at that, but the smile was devoid o

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    28 - August Dinner

    Kassidy's POVI got home at seven fifteen that day, still in my Sal's uniform. The house was already full of voices when I pushed through the front door. The voices were coming from the kitchen, and something was cooking as well.Nova appeared from the kitchen doorway before I had even taken off my shoes. In my head, I was already bracing for some kind of verbal lash from her, but to my surprise, there was a wide smile on her face."Kassidy!" She opened her arms slightly, like she was receiving an august guest. "You made it! Come in, come in, we were just sitting down."Every single thing about what she was doing felt wrong. I couldn't have explained it to anyone who hadn't spent enough time around Nova to know the difference, but I knew. The warmth was like oil on the surface of water."Are you hungry?" She asked. "I was just about to serve the food.""Yeah, but I just need to run upstairs first," I replied. "I've been on shift all day, I want to shower and change quickly.""Of course

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    27 - Every Single Time

    Kassidy's POV When Monday rolled around, I walked into my Evidence and Proof class, the second of the day, sinking into one of the chairs by the walls.Simone, the girl from my Constitutional Law class dropped into the seat on my left with her bag hitting the floor loudly. Her afro was slightly flattened on one side like she had been lying down until very recently."Good morning, Kas!" She chirped. "Great day, isn't it? I didn't see you at Tort Law class.""That's because I had to dash into work quickly." I pursed my lips apologetically. "But I managed to do the reading.""Great!" She looked at my coffee. "Is that still warm?""Barely." I muttered."Tragic." She pulled out her notebook. "Did you do the reading?""Most of it." I replied. "I fell asleep on page forty.""Page forty?" She stared at me. "I made it to page twelve. Girl, you're a genius and then some."Bree appeared on my right, considerably more composed, her blonde curls falling in ringlets around her face and her laptop

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    26 - Captain and Teammate

    Kassidy's POV"Today drained me." I sighed as I pushed through the front door at half past five that same day. I had a plastic bag in one hand and my work bag on my shoulder.My feet and my lower back hurt, and I had spent the last forty minutes of my shift running between four tables because my coworker had called in sick. I had done it without complaining, mostly because I needed the extra cash, but I was paying for it now in every muscle below my waist.The plastic bag had everything I needed for a proper chicken and vegetable soup, a pack of chicken thighs, two carrots, a stick of celery, a can of chicken broth and a small bag of egg noodles. I had been thinking about this meal since Tuesday—I was sick of cereal and pizza, or crackers slathered with peanut butter at eleven at night. I needed a real meal that would last me two days if I portioned it right, while also cost me less than fifteen dollars.I was already planning the cooking in my head as I walked down the hallway toward

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    25 - Opposite Footsteps

    Kassidy's POVThe morning after the party, I woke up to the sound of breathing that wasn't mine. Thank God I wasn't too drunk from the party, because my brain immediately registered danger. Who the hell was in the room with me?Swiftly, I turned over and looked down at the floor beside my bed, and there was Eli Deering. He was shirtless and flat on his back on my hardwood floor with the spare blanket pulled up to his chin, mouth slightly open, completely and deeply asleep.I sat up slowly, my mouth agape at the fact that this grown man had chosen my floor over every other available option in this house. Then I got out of bed, stood over him, and shook his shoulder.He stirred, frowned, and then his eyes opened. He looked at the ceiling first, then at the window, and finally up at me standing over him in my pyjamas with my arms folded."Morning, Townsend." He greeted me, as if waking up in my room was perfectly normal."What are you doing in my room, Eli?"He pushed himself up onto hi
