Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 120: I accept
Liam's POVI looked at Avery and tried to work out what was going on behind her eyes.She had been ignoring me for two full days. Two days of read messages and one-word replies and that particular kind of silence that says more than any actual words would. And now she was standing here looking unhappy about my ex-girlfriend showing up, and I could not make those two things fit together in a way that made any sense at all. If she did not care, she would not look like that. But if she did care, then the last two days needed a completely different explanation than the one I had been quietly accepting.I did not have time to think it through, because Zoey was already talking again."So," she said, and she addressed Avery directly now with the full confidence of someone who had already decided she was going to get what she came for. "Would it be a problem for you? Working as a three?"Avery looked at her for a moment. Then she looked at me. Then she looked back at Zoey and gave her a small
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 119: Complicated
Liam's POVI stood there and thought about it for a second. I thought about just saying yes, telling Zoey that Avery was my girlfriend, watching it all fall neatly into place. One word and Zoey would have her answer and maybe, finally, she would back off and leave me alone. She was never going to stop pushing until she believed there was genuinely nothing left to push for, and a girlfriend was a wall she could not argue her way around. The idea had a clean logic to it and I could see exactly how it played out.And then I thought about Avery.I thought about Avery standing over there with her arms crossed and that closed expression on her face, with no idea any of this was coming. I thought about what would happen when Zoey walked over and introduced herself, which she absolutely would, because going over was exactly the kind of move Zoey made when she saw an opportunity. I thought about Avery looking at me like I had completely lost my mind, telling Zoey we were dating when we were ju
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 118: Partner
Liam's POVI turned and walked away from her. She was so unbelievable. The audacity she had to say those words to me after she was the worst girlfriend in history to me. She cheated on me twice and acted like it was in a normal thing. I was with her for two years, I gave her everything she could ever want, and She paid me back with infidelity. After the last time she cheated on me, I was going to break up with her, But she beat me to it, saying that our relationship was not working. I was hurt, but I moved on and moved away.I got maybe fifteen metres down the corridor before the anger settled into my chest properly. I felt intense and insane anger. How dare she follow me here. Who the hell does she think she is? I kept my pace even and kept my face straight. I was fine. I had known this could happen at some point. I had told myself it was unlikely, that the odds of her turning up here of all places were basically nothing. I had been wrong about that, and now here I was, and I needed
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 117: Zoey Banks
Liam's POVI packed my things slowly. I stacked my notes into a neat pile, capped my pen, and zipped my bag the way I always did, taking my time, not hurrying for anyone. I did not need to look up to know she was there. I had clocked her the second she walked into that lecture hall. She sat at the third row from the back and slightly to the left, same wool coat, same way of holding her notebook with both hands like she was afraid someone would take it from her. I had spent two years memorising the way Zoey Banks sat in rooms, and apparently that was not the kind of thing you just switched off and forgot about.I stood up, pulled my bag strap onto my shoulder, and walked toward the door without looking at her once. I kept my eyes straight ahead and my pace even. I was not going to give her the satisfaction of acknowledgement, not even a glance. I was nearly at the door when the girl two seats over dropped her folder and papers scattered across the floor and I had to step around them, a
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 116: New girl
Avery's POVMonday morning felt different from the ones before it.Not in any way I could point to exactly, just in the way some mornings did when the weight of the previous week had finally settled and you could breathe again. I didn't fight with my mum over Dean coming back again, Liam wasn't such a bother too. It seemed he had gotten the message that I wanted to be alone for a while and stopped texting so much. The drive to campus was easy. The coffee I bought from the machine in the corridor was the right temperature for once. Small things, but I noticed them. I got to the lecture hall seven minutes early, which was something I had not managed in the last lecture. I found a seat in my usual row, took out my notebook, and looked around at the room filling up the way it always did in the few minutes before a lecture started.Liam came in a few minutes after me and found a seat a few rows over. We caught each other's eye briefly and he gave me the small nod that had become our versio
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 115: her opinion
Liam's POVI turned around slowly.Jade was still at the table, her hands around her mug, watching me with the kind of patience that said she had been preparing for this conversation for a while. The kitchen felt different from the one I had walked through ten minutes ago. It had the particular quality of a room where something was about to be said."What do you mean by that," I said. "My girlfriend from the club.""I mean the woman you have been going to see." She said it calmly. "I was not sure where you kept disappearing to late at night. You were never drunk when you came in so it was not a bar. You were never dressed up so it was not a party." She paused. "I was worried.""Worried about what."She looked at me. "I did not know. That is the point. You never said anything and you would come in at very odd hours, one in the morning sometimes, and just go straight to bed. I thought maybe you were getting yourself into something you should not be in. Maybe you were part of a gang or s
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 032: Liking him more
Avery's POVHe did not answer straight away.I had asked about Jade like I was asking about a random stranger I didn't know. He was quiet as if there was an elephant in the room for a second or two before he picked it up. I lay still and waited and told myself I was just curious, that it was a natu
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 029: The plot
Liam's POVI was three blocks from the library and still talking to myself.Who the fuck does she think she is?I kept walking with my hands deep in my pockets and my jaw so tight it ached. I had gone over it three times already and the answer was the same every time. Jade had stood on those steps
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 025: Not your world
Avery's POVFor a moment nobody said anything.Jade stood two steps below us on the library steps with her shopping bag in her hand. I wondered how she knew where we were. Either way, the look on her face was not the quiet, contained version of hurt she had worn all afternoon at practice. This was
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 009: Supposed to hate him
Avery's POVTwo seconds.The handshake lasted exactly two seconds and I was the one who pulled away first.He let me go without comment, and for a moment after I dropped his hand, he just looked at me. Not the polite, surface-level glance of a person being introduced to someone they do not plan to
