Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 205: First date
Liam's POVWe were almost at the main building when I stopped walking.Avery looked at me. "What?""I don't want to go back in there," I said. "Not right now. Not with all of that still sitting on me." I looked at her. "Come somewhere with me. Off campus. Somewhere that has nothing to do with car parks and confrontations and any of what just happened for the past three hours."She looked at the building and then at me and then at the car park where my car was sitting in the second row."Okay," she said."Yeah?""Yes," she said. "Let's go."We walked to my car and she got in without asking where we were going and I pulled out of the car park and drove without a specific destination until one presented itself, a small Italian place about fifteen minutes off campus on a side street that I had been to once before and remembered as somewhere quiet enough to actually hear the person across from you.We got a booth at the back. The lunch crowd had cleared and the dinner crowd had not arrived
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 204: Angry
Avery's POVWe were less than ten steps away when Liam reached across and took my hand.Not as a statement. Just his hand finding mine, fingers folding around naturally, and I exhaled the breath I had been holding since Colton stepped onto our path and started talking trash.I looked back. I did not plan it. I just turned.Colton was still exactly where we had left him.He had not moved. Had not pulled out his phone, had not walked away. He was just standing on the path with his kit bag at his feet and his eyes on us.His face was red. Not the patchy red of embarrassment. The color was deep and even and fixed.His forehead was pressed into a frown so deep it had taken over everything above his eyes. He didn't look like he was confused or hurt. He had the kind of expression that had stopped pretending to be anything other than what it was.His teeth were clamped together. I could see the line of his jaw from where we were standing, the muscle of it working, sharp and rigid. His chest w
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 203: Confrontation
Avery's POVWe were cutting across the path between the humanities block and the main hall when I saw him coming.Colton had already adjusted his direction before I clocked him, already set himself onto our path with that particular walk, the unhurried one that said he had already decided how things were going to go. He had his kit bag on one shoulder and the composed expression on his face and he looked like a man arriving at something he had been looking forward to.I felt Liam register him at the same moment. Neither of us slowed down.Colton stopped directly in front of us."Avery." He looked at Liam for exactly one second in the way men did when they wanted to communicate something without having to use words, and Liam looked back at him with nothing on his face at all, not hostility, not discomfort, nothing that gave Colton any kind of foothold."Can I get a minute?" He was talking to me. Not Liam."You've got one," I said. "Say what you want to say."His eyes went to Liam. "Alo
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 202: Consequences
Liam's POVI was twenty minutes into the second block of drills when I saw them coming back.Brandon first, crossing the car park with his bag still over his shoulder, and then Colton behind him, kit bag in hand, walking with the particular energy of someone who had been sitting somewhere building pressure and had decided to come back and release it by pretending none of it had happened. Like walking back onto the field after abandoning the session was a normal thing to do. Like Coach Reyes was not going to notice.I ran my rep and said nothing and watched them cross the grass toward the field.Coach Reyes noticed before they were halfway there.He had his back to them when they left the car park but he turned around with the instinct that coaches developed after enough years of managing twenty men at once, the radar for disruption that did not need eyes in the back of the head because it ran on something else entirely. He looked at the two of them walking back onto his field and the
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 201: Rattled
Liam's POVBrandon laughed at that, the short humourless kind. "Informing me. Right. So you're going to go to the conduct office with a forwarded text message and tell them what exactly? That I did Colton a favour and didn't ask enough questions? Go ahead, mate. See how far that gets you.""I am not going to the conduct office today." I put my back against the wall and looked at him. "That is not what this is.""Then what is it?" He turned to face me fully now, arms coming up slightly, the body language of someone who had decided to stop managing the conversation and just have it. "Because you pulled me aside before training, you threw the conduct policy at me, you've been standing here for ten minutes telling me what I did wrong, so what do you actually want from me? An apology? You want me to go and apologise to her? What?""I want you to understand what you were actually part of," I said. "Not the idea Colton sold you, not the favour between mates' version. What actually happened.
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 200: Talk with Brandon
Liam's POVI got to the training facility at quarter past seven and sat on the bench outside the side entrance with my kit bag between my feet and waited.The car park was almost empty. Three staff cars, the head coach's Range Rover parked at its usual angle like he owned the whole row, a grey morning sitting on top of everything. I had my hands in my pockets and I was not thinking about anything in particular because there was nothing left to think about. I had done that the night before. Everything that needed to be decided had been decided and what was left was just waiting for Brandon Cole to walk through that car park so I could say what I had come here to say before anyone else arrived and changed the shape of the conversation.He pulled in at seven forty-three.I watched him park and climb out with his bag over one shoulder and his earphones in and his phone in his hand, walking the way people walked when they had no reason to expect anything waiting for them on a Monday mornin
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 024: Working together
Avery's POVBrianna definitely had it coming and I wasn't going to let her get away with making me look bad this time.“I'll see you later.” Priya said and I watched her walk away.I took deep breaths to pace myself before springing into action that definitely would have consequences.I stood at th
