Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 045: She's proving difficult
Liam's POVShe said no when I asked her out. I walked away and I was fine with her reply for now.Not in the way you told yourself you were fine with something when you were not. I was actually fine because it was not like I was falling head over heels for her or anything. I just liked her and I wanted to mess with Jade and Colton and I could admit both of them. She had looked at me and thought about my request carefully and said no. The thinking-about-it part mattered more to me than the no itself because it meant she was saying no for reasons I could probably guess, and not because she genuinely did not want to. It meant I had a chance to get a yes another time.I did not drive today, so I took the bus. The walk from the bus stop was about twenty minutes at a slow pace. The evening had gone cool and the streetlights were flickering on along the path in their slow, one-by-one way. I put my hands in my jacket pockets and let my head work through everything without trying to direct it
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 044: Proper thank you
Avery's POVPractice restarted and I ran it, taking over from Priya.I put myself together and I walked back across the boundary line with my chin held high. I called the first count and the squad moved to my commands. I focused on the formations and I did not let my eyes drift to the main field more than twice in the remaining forty minutes. Coach Vega ran the session alongside me without saying a word about what had just happened, which was either professional grace or the understanding that there was nothing useful to say about it, and either way I was grateful.Besides going to the club and becoming Scarlett, running cheerleading practice sessions help me destress. It always did. When everything else was loud and messy, the counts and the formations gave me something concrete to hold onto. Point, correct, reset, run it again. There was no room in that for anything else and I used every bit of it. By the last rotation the girls were sharp and the energy had lifted and I felt almost
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 043: Her hand in his
Avery's POVHis hand was warm.That was the first thing I noticed and then I noticed that I had not pulled away and I had a feeling I was not going to and all of that happened in about two seconds without any deliberate thoughts connecting the chain of events.Liam did not look at me when he took my hand. He just reached over and took it and started walking and I walked with him because my legs moved before my brain caught up. By the time my brain did catch up, we were already crossing the field and it seemed too late to refuse our act out.Behind us I could feel the eyes and hear the gasps and murmurs of everyone watching us leave. I did not turn around to look at any of them. I kept my eyes forward and walked.We crossed the field and moved onto the path that ran between the stadium wall and the equipment shed. His hand was bigger than mine and his grip was easy. Not tight, not uncertain, just there, warm and steady and entirely uncomplicated in a way that made it worse to think abo
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 042: Priya's defence
Avery's POVPriya did not step forward dramatically. She did not raise her voice or make a show of it. She just turned to Brianna and spoke like the answer was obvious and she was mildly surprised nobody had said it yet."Her man?" Priya said. "He cheated. For two months. On a girl who gave him seven months and never once embarrassed him publicly, even when she had every reason to." She looked at Brianna steadily. "And you are standing here calling her the problem?"Brianna blinked. It was fast but everyone around them caught it."I am just saying what people are thinking," Brianna said."No," Priya said. "You are saying what Colton needed someone to say because he just got embarrassed on his own challenge and needed the attention somewhere else. And you volunteered for that." She glanced at Colton briefly and then looked back at Brianna. "So congratulations on that."A few people nearby made sounds that they quickly turned into coughs. Someone at the back of the squad actually laughe
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 041: Brianna's taunt
Avery's POVI had been watching Colton's face after he missed the last ball.He was standing in the middle of the field with his hands at his sides and nothing left to say. The whole team had just watched Liam embarrass him cleanly on his own challenge, the one Colton had set up himself with full confidence in front of both groups. That was the part he could not recover from. He had constructed the whole situation deliberately and Liam had taken him apart without breaking a sweat. Everyone on the football team and cheer squad had watched every single second of it without looking away.For a moment the field was just quiet.Then Brianna moved.She did not rush. She stepped forward from the front of the squad with the unhurried ease of someone who had been waiting for the right moment and had decided this was it. She looked around at the crowd the way someone looked around a room they had just walked into and decided they owned, making sure she had the full attention she wanted before s
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 040: One-on-one
Liam's POV"Deal," I said.Colton's smile came back fast. Too fast. It was the smile of a man who thought he had just gotten exactly what he wanted and was already enjoying the version of events he had written in his head.The team reorganised itself without being asked. Players pulled back to give us room, forming a loose half circle around the space between the hash marks, the way a crowd always arranged itself around something it expected to be worth watching. The squad on the track had stopped pretending to run formations. Everyone was watching now and nobody was hiding it.Tate fell in beside me while I pulled on my gloves."You know you did not have to say yes," he said quietly."I know," I said."He is trying to humiliate you in front of both groups.""Let him try," I said.Tate looked at me for a second and then stepped back without another word. He understood that I knew exactly what I had gotten myself into. Colton was already talking to two of the other receivers, loose an
