Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 226: Meeting coach
Liam's POVColton called the team meeting before the session started.That alone was unusual. Pre-session meetings happened at the start of the week when there was tactical material to cover or after a poor result when Reyes wanted to address performance. We had won on Friday. There was no tactical reason for a team meeting at eight fifteen on a Monday morning before anyone had even started their warm up.Colton stood at the front of the group with his arms crossed and his captain's voice on and I sat in the second row and said nothing and waited to see what he had built over the weekend."We won on Friday," he said. "Good result. Good crowd. Good atmosphere." He paused. "But I want to talk about something that bothers me. And I am going to talk about it now because if it gets to the next game without being addressed it becomes a bigger problem."The room was attentive. Twenty-two players and Reyes standing at the back with his clipboard looking like a man who had been told this was h
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 225: The review
Avery's POVI told her everything.Starting from Tuesday morning at the athletics complex entrance, through every formation gap and quiet suggestion and water break conversation that I had watched Brianna run through the squad over five days. The comment about my focus. The trip to Vega at halftime. The formation called mid-game in front of fifteen people and a stadium crowd.Vega wrote and did not interrupt. She filled close to two pages. I had more to say than I had realised and I said all of it.When I finished the office was quiet and she looked at her notes and then she looked at me."You have witnesses," she said."Keely Barrett witnessed most of it," I said. "She can confirm the halftime conversation with you and the formation call during the second quarter. I also have fifteen squad members who were standing on that sideline.""Brianna would say their accounts are compromised by team loyalty," Vega said."Keely's account is not compromised by anything," I said. "She has no sta
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 224: The complaint
Avery's POVThe message from Coach Vega came through at seven forty-eight on Monday morning.'Come and see me before first period. My office.'No context. No explanation. Just that.I had been standing in my kitchen with my coffee and my kit bag reading it and I had known immediately what it was about. Not because I had been expecting it exactly. Because I had known since halftime on Friday that Brianna going to Vega was not the end of something. It was the beginning of something.I went.The walk to the athletics building took six minutes. I used all of them.Vega's office was at the back of the athletics building, small and functional with a whiteboard along one wall and a desk stacked with schedules and session plans. She was already there when I arrived, sitting behind the desk, and she gestured at the chair across from her and I sat and she looked at me for a moment with the expression she used when she was about to say something she would rather not have to say."I am going to b
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 223: Fine
Avery's POVI watched Jade's face.I watched the moment she heard the voice and her brain processed it and the coffee cup stopped halfway to her mouth and stayed there.I said nothing.From the stairs came footsteps, unhurried, and then Liam appeared in the kitchen doorway in his shorts and nothing else with his hair pushed back and the easy expression of someone who had come downstairs expecting nothing in particular and was currently encountering something in particular.He looked at Jade.Jade looked at him.The kitchen was very quiet. Nobody was going to say anything first and all three of us knew it."Jade," Liam said. His voice was level.Jade put her coffee cup down on the table. Slowly. With the deliberate care of someone who was managing themselves very carefully right now. Her eyes went to me and they had something in them that was not quite anger and not quite hurt and was some specific mixture of both with something underneath it that looked almost like shock."It has been
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 222: Talk about the devil
Avery's POVThe doorbell pulled me out of sleep, not gently, not gradually, just suddenly awake and disoriented with no idea where in the morning it was.I lay still for a second. Liam's arm was over me and the room was bright behind the curtains and someone was at my door.I shifted out from under his arm carefully and he stirred slightly but did not wake and I found my robe on the floor where I had dropped it last night and pulled it on and went out onto the landing.The bell rang again."I'm coming," I said to nobody.I went down the stairs with my hair loose and my feet cold on the floor and my brain approximately forty percent operational and thought about who came to someone's door on a Saturday morning without texting first. A delivery, maybe. My mum, possibly, though she usually texted. Jade did not text first. That thought arrived about half a second too late to be useful.I unlocked the door and opened it.Jade was standing on my doorstep.I stood there with my hand on the d
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 221: The scar
Avery's POV"Jade is going to find out," I said suddenly after a few minutes of silence between us. "Yea," Liam said. "She should be expecting it. We are together after all.""She is going to find out and she is going to have another reaction about it.""Is there anything else I should expect from her?"I thought about it. "You remember the tantrum she threw the day Colton sent her the picture of us in the car?""How can I ever forget?" "She thanks to go crazy before she realizes that she has no business going crazy about the situation."Liam was quiet for a second. "But why though? It's not like you're doing anything wrong.""Thirteen years of friendship makes her feel like she owns me," I said.He laughed at that, and I felt it in his chest under my ear and smiled at the ceiling."What if she walked in right now," he said.I turned my face into his shoulder. "She does not have a key to my house.""That is very good to know," he said. "I am glad someone thought about that.""I have
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
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 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 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
