Friend Zoned Chapter 19: Violet
"Does that feel all right?" Liam asks, tucking my long hair behind my ears before carefully pulling the helmet over my head.I give a quick nod and in return, he gifts me with a lazy smile.There is no denying it, Liam Garrison is a hot guy. The man oozes sex appeal through his pores. It's ridiculously intoxicating. That being said, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here with him. And part of me feels like crap for walking out on Sam. Maybe I should have said no to Liam's offer and headed back to the apartment with the blond football player.But then we would have ended up discussing last night...and the weeks leading up to it. As far as I'm concerned, that's just another bullet that has been dodged. It's not a conversation I want to engage in until I have a better handle on my feelings. For the time being, I'll avoid Sam by spending a little time with Liam. I can grab my stuff from his apartment later and head back to the dorms.Liam instructs me to climb on behind him un
Friend Zoned Chapter 20: Violet
When I make it back to the guy's apartment, Sam is nowhere to be found and Roan is walking out the door. He's hitting the library for some research and won't be home until after dinner. It's probably not a good sign that my first reaction is relief.Now I can throw all my stuff into a bag and get the hell out of here before Sam returns. Then, from the relative safety of my dorm, I can take a few days to think about what's going on between us. I'm hoping that with enough time and distance, these feelings will simmer down and-My phone dings with an incoming text.I grab it and scan the message.Crap.Carter is going to stay for another night.My belly flips in response to that bit of unwelcome news. All I want is to make a clean get away before Sam returns and forces me to discuss all the issues that have sprung up between us. That's the last thing I want to do. Doesn't he understand that avoidance is the best possible tactic at this point?Every time he popped into my hea
Friend Zoned Chapter 21: Violet
When I find the courage to slink back to the guy's apartment, it's well after midnight. Everything is dark and silent. I don't realize that I'm holding my breath until it rushes out in relief. There's no way I could face Sam right now. I'm embarrassed by my own behavior. Instead of turning away when I saw him, I stood there and gawked at his cock like a perv.His very hard, very thick cock.I really need to stop thinking about that. It's one thing to feel it nestled against my ass in the wee hours of the morning, separated by at least two layers of clothing, and quite another to catch a glimpse-all right, way more than a glimpse-up close and personal. If I had to, I could probably render a fairly accurate description to a sketch artist.Or pick it out of a line up.This is terrible.And we certainly aren't going to talk about how I was tempted to get even more up close and personal with his erection either.Unfortunately, I've been unable to think about little else since t
Friend Zoned Chapter 22: Violet
"Well, you sure are here bright and early."My grandmother pulls me in for a warm hug as I step inside the sunny kitchen.I shrug, and say with an overly cheerful smile, "I've missed you guys, and thought I'd swing by for breakfast."Those words have her lips tilting up at the corners. "Aww, you're such a sweet girl." In the very next breath, she adds, "You should have brought Sam with you."Yeah...there's no way that was going to happen. Even the thought is enough to leave me wincing. I couldn't get out of the apartment fast enough this morning. As soon as I heard Sam and Roan take off for their workout, I threw my things into a bag and flew out the door.Kind of like an escape convict fleeing the scene of a heinous crime.After last night, there was no way in hell I was sticking around for their return. As much as I would love to hash all this out with Sam and get our friendship back on track, I can't do it right now. My emotions are all over the place.If everything we

She stands at the stove with a spatula in hand as her gaze holds mine. "Oh?"This is more difficult than I expected. I focus on my half-filled glass of orange juice before deciding to drink some down. Maybe the vitamin C will help boost my courage."It has to do with Sam," I mumble, barely loud enough for her to catch. Although my grandmother has excellent hearing, so she picks up on my words without any problem.Her face creases with worry. Ugh...I am killing this poor woman with my ineptness. "What happened to Sam? Is he all right? Is there something we can do to help?""No, I mean Yes..." Oh, for the love of all that's holy, I don't know any more. "Maybe.""Well, that certainly clears things up." A small smile tips the corners of her lips as I torture myself. "Thank you."A weak chuckle escapes. Why does this have to be such a mess? All I want is for everything to go back to the way things were before. That's what would be best for everyone. Then we could just
Friend Zoned Chapter 24: Violet
I bump open the door with my hip and heft my bags into the suite. I can't deny the sharp shafts of relief that pump through me. Distance and perspective are exactly what's needed right now.With a quick glance around, I catch sight of Mia sitting on the couch in the living area we share. When she remains silent, lost in her own thoughts, I call out, "Hello!"Her head swivels toward me before a ghost of a smile curves her lips. "Hey, girl. Thanks again for clearing out for the past couple of days, I really appreciate it. I hope everything was cool with Sam."Yeah...we're not going to discuss that situation at the moment.Or possibly ever."It was fine. How did your visit with Carter go? Did you guys have a good time?" Before she can answer, I throw up a hand. "If you're going to tell me that you two never left the room and it was just one long marathon of sexy times, I'd rather not hear the gory details, thank you very much."The forced smile stays glued to her lips.
Friend Zoned Chapter 25: Violet
Instead of asking what she means, I brush off the remark and redirect our conversation away from Sam. He now feels like dangerous and murky territory. "Anyway, there's nothing between Liam and me. He kissed me and-" She doesn't give me a chance to finish the sentence before pouncing. "He kissed you! Liam Garrison actually kissed you?" She looks dangerously close to swooning."Um, yeah." I fold my hands in my lap and add, "It was nice-""His kiss was just...nice? That's it? Liam Garrison gave you a ride on his motorcycle, took you to play pool, and then kissed you, and it wasn't anything more than nice?" Her voice rises with each word.I nod before shrugging. "It was nice. Nothing more, nothing less.""That's seriously disappointing." There's a pause. "Was he bad at it?" Almost immediately she shakes her head. "No-that seems impossible. He's way too gorgeous to be bad at making out.""No, the kiss was fine." My mind turns back to yesterday. "It just wasn't an
Friend Zoned Chapter 26: Violet
For the next two days, Mia's words roll around like marbles in the back of my head. On Tuesday, I deliberately dawdle on my way to Rickets' class so that I'm late. Not by much, certainly not enough to incur his wrath, but just enough so that there's no time for Sam and me to delve into any meaningful conversations.During the entire class period, all ninety tortuous minutes of it, his leg continually brushes up against mine. Every time it does, a little burst of awareness shoots through my body, making it impossible to focus on the lecture.At one point, I wonder what it would feel like to climb that big body of his like a tree. Those thoughts make me squirm uncomfortably in my seat, attempting to alleviate a bit of the pressure forming between my tightly clenched thighs.Once class is wrapped up for the day, Sam pounces, asking if I want to grab a coffee and talk. Instead of manning up and hashing things out with him, I make up some lame excuse as to why I have to haul ass acr
