Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 124: Tutor her
Avery's POVI looked at her. I looked at Liam briefly. He was watching me with the careful expression he had been wearing since I walked past him in the corridor."Sure," I said.She smiled. She had a way of doing it that was open and easy and hard to find anything wrong with, and the fact that I was aware of looking for something wrong told me where I was standing with her."I am still trying to find my footing with the reading list," she said. "I know I missed the first half of the semester and I am trying to catch up properly. I was wondering whether the two of you might be up for a session where you walked me through the core material. Not the project specifically, just the background reading so I am not behind.""A tutoring session," I said."Exactly. Just an hour or two, nothing formal. It would really help me get up to speed before the session next week."Liam made a sound beside me that was not quite a word. I did not look at him.Zoey looked at him. I looked at him. He had hi
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 123: Not concerned
Avery's POVHe did not message me once since the day Zoey Banks invaded our class.After two days of texts that I had left unanswered, Liam had gone completely quiet. No good morning. No checking in. No asking about Dean. Nothing from Monday evening through to Thursday night. I told myself it did not matter. I had been the one ignoring him, so his silence was the natural consequence of that, and I should have been relieved. I had wanted space. He was giving me space. That was what I had asked for, in the most indirect possible way.I was not particularly relieved.I noticed the absence of his messages the way you noticed when a sound you had gotten used to suddenly stopped. It left a shape in the day where something had been and was not anymore. I did not go as far as checking whether he had somehow messaged and I had missed it. I told myself that was because I was not bothered, not because I knew the answer was no and did not want to confirm it.I did not message him either.Friday m
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 122: Confirmation mail
Avery's POVI got up and went to my desk when the notification came in.The notification was from my university email. I almost ignored it. I was not in the mood for anything administrative tonight. But the subject line was visible in the preview and I read it before I could decide not to.'Project Group Update — Business Management.'I opened it.Dr Fonn had sent it. The email said that Zoey Banks had been added to our project pair with immediate effect and that all three of us would meet as a group at the next scheduled session. It said the addition of a third member would bring useful breadth to the project. It thanked us for our flexibility and wished us the best with our work.I read the email twice.So that was it. No second conversation. No checking back with me. Just an email at the end of the day confirming that a decision had already been made and all I had to do now was show up and be flexible about it. I sat at the desk for a moment and did not move.I closed the laptop an
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 121: The last two days
Avery's POVI sat on my bed with my back against the headboard and my phone in my lap and I thought about all of it.Two days. I had been ignoring him for two days and every time his name came up on my screen I had told myself I just needed a little more time before I could respond without saying something I would regret. The problem was that the more time passed, the more there was to say, and the more there was to say, the harder it became to know where to even begin.It had started with the photograph that Jade had turned the laptop toward me to show me, and the two faces in it that I had not been able to stop seeing since.Not the document filing on its own. Not even Dean being gone. The photograph was the thing I could not put down, because it had faces in it. And one of those faces belonged to a man whose son sat next to me in a lecture hall twice a week and had been texting me every day since Dean left. It belonged to the father of a man I was having feelings about.Did Liam kn
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 023: Practice on the field
Avery's POVI was driving.Jade had offered but I had the keys already and we both knew the real reason was that I needed something to do with my hands on the way to cheer practice that afternoon. She sat in the passenger seat with one earbud in and her chin resting on her hand and she watched the
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 021: He didn't come
Avery's POVThe shock on his face was almost satisfying.Almost, because it didn't last as long as I wished so much in my head that it would.Professor Cross touched the side of his face with two fingers like he was checking to confirm what had just happened, and his expression cycled through sever
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 015: We should stop
Avery's POV The words stuck in my throat and I couldn't get them out. I looked at him in front of me in the low light with his blue-green eyes patient and his whole body leaning forward like someone who genuinely wanted the answer, and I felt the name right there at the tip of my tongue. "I can'
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 011: Confronting Brianna
Avery's POVI had about three seconds to decide whether to stop her.I used them watching Jade cross the gym floor with that particular walk she had when she was done being reasonable, and I decided that three seconds was not enough time to get between Jade Rivera and someone she had decided needed
