~~Braxton~~

“Bianca, waitㅡ” I called out after her, my hand reaching out to grab her arm, hallway across the parking lot.

I yanked her back softly, my arms wrapping around her body that kept wracking with sobs. “Bianca, wait…just listen.”

She suddenly pushed me away, her touch feeling like a brand into my skinㅡ burning into my chest. “Don't fucking touch me!” She yelled, a stray of spit flying into the air, her finger jabbing at my chest.

My lips parted and I raised my hands in surrender, feeling cold breeze brush past my face, scattering goosebumps across my skin. “What did I do?”

She took a step back, heels scraping against the pavement. “You embarrassed me!” She hissed at me.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I rubbed a hand down my face, feeling irritation bubble up within me. “You embarrassed yourself, Bianca. You didn't have to say all that at dinner but you did. You were the one who embarrassed us both!”

Her eyes flashed with anger and before I could blink, her eyes filled with tears. “So

    ~~Indigo~~I expected a lot of things from London — but not for it to feel this loud, this alive. Cars honked. People shouted across the street, laughter bursting in waves. Everything smelled like smoke, rain, and a little bit of chaos.I stared up at the giant WELCOME TO LONDON sign and muttered, “This place is definitely… something.”Kaitlyn chuckled softly beside me, fingers clutching the edge of her scarf as she pulled it higher against the cold. “You’ll love it here, Indigo. I was thinking you and the others could stay at my place until the game tomorrow.”That wasn’t the plan. Not even close.I stiffened, forcing a polite smile. “Oh—uh, that’s really sweet, but I’ll just stay at a hotel tonight.”She blinked. “A hotel?”“Yeah.” I tried to sound casual, though my stomach twisted like I’d swallowed rocks. “I kind of want to surprise Slade tomorrow… at the competition. Also, I’d like you all to, you know, keep it quiet. Don’t tell him I’m here.”Kaitlyn’s expression melted into a s

  • Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother   Slade…

    ~~Slade~~London hadn’t changed. The streets still pulsed with noise, the air still stank of fuel and rain, the skyline still looked the same.But it didn’t feel right to me anymore.It didn’t feel like home.“Welcome home, superstar!”The shout came before I even shut the car door. Liam jogged toward me, that same cocky grin on his face, like nothing ever changed. Behind him, a few of the crew whistled and clapped like I’d just crawled out of the grave.“Thought you’d quit, man,” Liam said, slapping my shoulder. “Been ghosting the whole team for what—a month?”“Almost two,” someone yelled from the back. “We thought he finally crashed and burned.”Laughter followed, but it grated on me. I tossed my keys in the air and caught them again, smirking out of habit. “Miss me that much?”“Hell yeah,” Liam said, grinning. “We were about to replace you with some newbie, but then I remembered no one drives like Fallon the Mad.”“Don’t call me that.” The words came out sharper than I meant them t

    ~~Indigo~~The food suddenly felt too bitter in my mouth, and I tried not to choke on the bile crawling up my throat.“He left?” I whispered, my voice cracking like glass.Kaitlyn looked startled but kept her composure, wiping her hands with a kitchen towel before she nodded. “He did, dear. Early this morning.”I blinked. Once. Twice. My stomach twisted like something alive was clawing its way up. “Why would he just leave like that? Without saying anything?”I didn’t even know who I was asking. I just needed someone to tell me I wasn’t losing my mind. Because everything—every damn thing I’d been trying to hold together—was falling apart again, and I couldn’t stop it.Kaitlyn sighed softly, giving me that gentle, motherly look that somehow made my chest ache worse. “He said he’s missed a lot of training already and his manager’s been calling nonstop. I told him to wait until tomorrow, but you know Slade. Once he makes up his mind… He said he already made the plans last night, so he wou

    ~~Indigo~~It had been several minutes of me just standing in front of the mirror, thinking about what I was going to say to Slade this evening.“Slade, look, I just—” I muttered under my breath, then groaned. No. That sounded pathetic.I stared at my reflection. “Look, Slade. I need to tell you something very important.”God, I sounded like I was about to confess to murder.The night that passed had been torture. Emily had stayed over, curled up beside me on my bed, doing her best to make me feel less like the emotional trainwreck I was. But none of it worked. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. About Slade.Was he asleep? Was he home? Was he thinking about me the way I was thinking about him—restless and pacing, replaying every damn word from the night before?I was going to tell him what I’d done today. He’d be proud. Hell, I was proud. I had made a decision—a real one. I had moved on from Braxton.Now, I looked down at the dress that hung off my body. Something simple, but it felt

  • Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother   Stuck In Reverse…

    ~~Slade~~ The whiskey burned down my throat as I just toyed with the glass, swallowing heavily. The TV in the background hummed with a movie that I wasn't paying any attention to and my house felt like it was closing in on meㅡ like the whole universe was against me. It wasn't a pretty feeling. I hated it. “Congrats man,” I muttered under my breath, a bitter chuckle escaping my lips as I chugged down another gulp of my drink. “You drove away the one girl you liked. You're ruining your career. Your life is a mess and you managed to get drunk before dinner. Wow.” I chuckled againㅡ the sound devoid of any warmth or mirth. It was hard. Staring out the window at her house that I had walked away from a few hours ago. A part of me hoped that she would come over. Cross the lawn and knock. Maybe she would tell me that it was a lie and she was just bluffing. She never did. Her door opened only twice todayㅡ I knew even Emily came. I saw her get out of the cab, holding a large box of what

    ~~Indigo~~My heart was thudding heavily in my chest. I waited with bated breath for whatever he wanted to say.“What? Whatever it is, just say it,” I bit out.He took a deep breath, then blurted it out.“I’m moving.”That made me freeze — like the air had been knocked right out of my lungs.For a second, I just sat there, waiting for him to say something that would make sense. The phone remained silent though — pressed against my ear like a loaded gun aimed straight at me.Moving?“Excuse me?” I whispered, my voice small, shaky.“Just for a while,” he rushed to say, as if that would somehow soften the blow.It didn’t. It made it worse. My heart hollowed out in my chest. “I just… I need time to sort things out with Bianca. I can’t just leave her and go with you — that’d look suspicious. People would talk.”People would talk?That’s what he was worried about?My grip on the phone tightened until my knuckles ached. “So you’re saying you’re not leaving her — you were just pretending to?”
