Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 278: Wednesday
Avery's POVWe had been on the sofa for two hours and it was the kind of evening that asked nothing from either of us.By some miracle my mum was home today, even though she was upstairs. She had been sneaking off to see that douchebag Dean ever since I kicked him out. She thought I didn't know, but I did. I just didn't care, as long as she didn't being his crazy ass back home.Liam had his feet on my coffee table and I was half sitting against him with a textbook open in my lap that I had not read a single page of, because reading was significantly harder when someone kept turning to say things to you and you kept choosing to respond instead. We had been talking about nothing in particular for most of the evening and it was the kind of nothing that felt like something, the way it always did when two people had gotten comfortable enough with each other to not need a reason to talk.We had covered his Thursday training session and a film we had both seen it the other three years ago an
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 277: Promise
Liam's POVI did not say anything on the walk to the car.Not because I had nothing to say, but the opposite. I had too much of it and I needed to let it settle before I opened my mouth, because some of what I was feeling was the kind of thing that came out wrong if you said it before you understood exactly what it was.What I had watched in that establishment had done something I had not prepared for. I had gone in bracing for something ordinary, a way to understand what she had been keeping and why, and what I got instead was several hours of watching someone be completely herself in a room where nothing was required of her. That was harder to know what to do with.Avery walked beside me and she did not push for words, and that was one thing I needed now. I needed to be in my head for a few minutes.She looked different after a shift than she looked anywhere else. Not tired exactly, more like something had been put down. The held-back version of her that operated at the athletics co
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 276: The kitchen
Avery's POVI was with him on Saturday morning, two days after we made up.I sat across from him at his kitchen table with my coffee and told him, "If you still want to come and see where I work, I will take you on Thursday."He looked at me over his mug. "Yes?""I have a shift Thursday evening," I told him. "But I have one condition.""What condition?" he asked."You do not make fun of me."He put his mug down and the expression on his face was so genuinely offended that I almost laughed. "Avery. When have I ever made fun of you for anything?""You have not," I replied. "And I need you to keep that record going.""Deal," he said. "Thursday."Thursday came faster than I wanted it to.I had texted Gerald, a staff at the community kitchen on Tuesday to ask if I could come to volunteer as usual. I had called him on Wednesday to explain the situation. I said my boyfriend did not know I volunteered, but he thought I rather worked there. I also asked if he could please not correct that if i
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 275: Hear me out
Avery's POVI raised my hand to knock on his door.But it opened before my knuckles touched it.Liam was standing in the doorway with his jacket on and his keys in his hand. We both stopped at exactly the same moment, him in the act of stepping forward and me in the act of stepping forward, close enough that if either of us had moved another three inches we would have walked into each other.He looked at my face.I had washed it in the kitchen sink but I knew from the cold tight feeling around my eyes that the evidence of the last forty minutes was still visible. I did not try to hide it."Please," I told him. "Just hear me out. That is all I am asking. Hear me out and then if you still want to leave I will step aside and I will not say another word."He looked at me with his jaw tight and the expression of a man who had already made a decision and was being asked to unmake it."Liam." My voice cracked slightly and I let it. I was not managing this. Not tonight. "Please."He looked pa
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 274: My explanation
Avery's POV I sat on the kitchen floor. Not intentionally. My back slid down the cabinet behind me and my knees came up. I sat there with the cold of the tiles coming through my pyjama bottoms and looked at the space in front of me where Liam had been standing twenty minutes ago, saying you lied to me in a voice that was worse than shouting because it was so quiet. I had stood there and watched him catch me in a lie and even tried to turn it around on him for snooping around my life. The kitchen looked the same as it always did. That was the part that felt wrong. Everything in the same place, the same light, the same two mugs from earlier still on the counter, and none of it knew yet that something had just changed. I was still in the kitchen when my phone rang. I looked at the screen. The call was from Jade. I thought about not answering. I held the phone and watched it ring and thought about setting it face-down on the tiles and sitting in the quiet until I had figured out what
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 273: Upset
Liam's POVI was inside in under two minutes.I crossed the small stretch of path between her front door and mine, let myself in, and stood in the hallway for a second with my keys in my hand and nowhere to put the anger that was in my chest right now. It was not one thing. It was a whole pile of things and they were all moving at the same time and I could not put myself together.I put my keys down on the table and walked into the front room.I walked back out of the front room.I went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, closed it without taking anything, and pressed both hands flat on the counter and breathed. The breathing did not help. I pushed off from the counter and went back to the hallway. That did not help either, so I went upstairs and came straight back down, and somewhere in the middle of all that I put my fist against the wall hard enough to make the picture frame above the console table rattle.Jade's door opened."What the hell is going on?" She was standing in her door
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 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 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
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
