In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0146: SPEAK OF THE DEVIL
JUNE’S POVI kept my speed even as I took the turns through the neighborhood. When I rolled the window down a crack, the air came in sharply, mixed with exhaust from a bus up ahead and the smoke from someone grilling nearby. My foot eased off the brake at a yellow light, then pressed down again when it flipped to red.The big houses started giving way to strip malls and apartment blocks after a while. A vacancy sign blinked from a mid-tier hotel just off the highway. I reached back for the small duffel on the seat, the strap digging into my shoulder as I pulled it forward, then pushed through the glass doors at the entrance.The desk clerk slid a keycard across the counter without saying much. The elevator hummed its way up, and the doors dinged open onto a hallway that smelled like lemon cleaner trying to cover old carpet. I let myself into the room, dropped the bag beside the dresser, and sat down on the edge of the bed. The mattress dipped under my weight.I closed my eyes for a se
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0145: LEAVING THE TRASH BEHIND
JUNE’S POVI stood in the middle of my bedroom, facing my kids. The slap still burned across my palm, like the heat from Adrian's cheek hadn't left my skin yet.Franklin leaned in the doorway with his arms folded tight across his chest. He didn't say a word, just watched."Adrian," I said, stepping one foot closer to him. "I'm sorry. I lost it for a second there. Forgive me for slapping you, okay? I didn't mean to."He rubbed the side of his face, his eyes locked right on mine. The red mark on his cheek was already starting to fade, but his jaw stayed clenched hard."But I'm not a whore," I went on. My voice came out steadier than the churn in my stomach. "Wanting a divorce from your father doesn't make me one. I'm still your mother. This whole situation just makes me a woman who's tired of bending over backwards for a man who only cares about our perfect little family picture on the Christmas cards."I shifted my weight, and the floorboard under the rug creaked once, loud in the quie
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0144: BETRAYAL
FRANKLIN’S POVI stood by the window with my arms crossed tight over my chest, the wood frame cool against my back. Adrian’s fist snapped Luca’s head sideways.The kid staggered, blood pouring fresh from his nose down over his mouth and onto the front of his shirt. It dripped onto the carpet in dark spots that soaked in quickly.The ceiling fan clicked every rotation, pushing the same stale air around the room. June lunged forward, her hand reaching for Luca. I caught her wrist before she got two steps. My fingers closed hard. She pulled once, sharp, but I didn’t loosen up.Adrian shook out his hand, knuckles already turning red. “You were supposed to be my brother, man. I let you sleep on my couch, eat with us, everything.”Luca wiped at his face with his sleeve. He didn’t swing back. Just stood there breathing through his mouth, one eye starting to puff.My gut unclenched a fraction as I watched their eyes slide off me and onto June, onto Luca.Marlene stayed near the doorway, finge
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0143: BRO CODE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD
LUCA’S POVI turned the second that Marlene pushed the bedroom door all the way open. Her eyes fixed on me, wide and searching like she was scanning for answers printed right across my skin."Luca, please," she said, her voice cracking in the middle of the word. "Tell me everything they were saying… about you and Mom… tell me it’s a lie."June stepped forward fast, one hand reaching toward her daughter. "Marlene, honey, let me explain—""No." Marlene never glanced at her mother. She walked straight to me and stopped so close that the toes of our shoes nearly touched on the carpet. It swallowed every sound of her steps. "You. Tell me right now, Luca. Is it true?"Franklin stood off to my left near the window, arms crossed tight over his chest. He stayed quiet, but his breathing pushed loud and rough through his nose.I adjusted my stance to keep my balance, but I kept my eyes on Marlene."Yeah," I said. The word came out quieter than I meant it to. "Everything you overheard this summer
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0142: SHRINKING NO MORE
JUNE’S POVFranklin’s shouting filled the bedroom, his voice hitting the walls and bouncing back from the heavy curtains we had picked out last spring. I stood frozen near the closet door, fingers still wrapped around the strap of my ruined dress where it lay on the floor. The fabric dragged heavy in my grip, like it had soaked up all the weight in the room.He paced at the foot of the unmade bed, shirt untucked and flapping with each turn, his face red and shining with fresh sweat. Luca stayed quiet in the corner by the window, back pressed flat to the wall, arms folded tight across his chest. His eyes followed every step Franklin took, never blinking away.“You brought him here?” Franklin’s words came out raw. “Into our own bedroom? Your son’s best friend, June? Have you lost your damn mind? You have no shame at all, you pathetic slut.”For a second my chest locked up, breath caught somewhere behind my ribs. Then my fingers opened on their own and the dress slid onto the chair besid
In Love With My Son's Best Friend 0141: SUMMER SECRET
LUCA’S POVI kept my arms wrapped around her shoulders, holding her while her body shook against my chest. The crying hit in waves, loud for a few seconds then dropping to quiet hitches before building again. My shirt clung damp and cool where her face pressed into it. I stayed silent.She pulled back a little and wiped her face with the back of her hand. Her eyes were red, the makeup smeared dark underneath them."You knew," she said, voice rough around the edges. "You knew and you didn't tell me."My hand lingered on her arm a second before I let go. "I didn't know for sure. Not until earlier when I saw them."She looked right at me, breath still catching. "When?""In the parking lot. Before the renewal even began. I saw them making out in her car."She nodded slowly. Then her gaze slid away to the wall, the floor, anywhere but me. "How long have you suspected?""While I was here for summer. I overheard him on the phone with her once. I thought I must have been mistaken." My fingers
