Too Busy To Care

“We’re wrapping up the final project,” Lauren said, pointing at the screen as the slides transitioned. Her voice was crisp, professional. I tapped my fingers against my chin, considering the information.

“I assume you’ve kept Mr. Hampton in the loop?” I asked, watching her expression. Lauren nodded and moved away from the screen, her focus shifting to gathering her files.

The office was quiet, the others having left after the board meeting. My recent trip to Spain had paid off—I’d managed to secure a deal with a man whose investment I’d been pursuing for months.

“Yes, I have. He seemed quite impressed,” Lauren replied. I nodded again and stood. She busied herself with packing her files, not sparing me a glance.

This was precisely why I enjoyed working with Lauren. She wasn’t one of those women who threw coy smiles in my direction or pretended to be mesmerized by me. She didn’t care about my looks, let alone my personality—which, admittedly, was nothing to writ

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Epilogue

    Ten months laterAstrid“Oh my God,” I breathed, staring down at my parted thighs while Adrian held my hand tightly. He also watched quietly, or maybe fascinated.“You’re doing good, Mrs. Voss. I can see the baby’s head. We just need you to push a little more,” the doctor said before flashing me a quick smile.Adrian squeezed my hand reassuringly before rubbing my hair.“You can do it, baby. You’re so amazing,” he muttered, still stroking my hair. And with the last strength left in me, I pushed — hard.And then just as quickly, a little cry filled the room as I slumped into the bed, my eyes quickly filling up.Adrian had insisted I get an epidural because, according to him, he wouldn’t be able to listen to me cry or stand around comfortably while I was in pain.Probably the best decision. I felt a little pain, but it wasn’t as severe as the first time when the contractions started.“That’s our baby,” I whispered as tears spilled down my cheeks, watching as the doctor raised the baby u

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Tonight

    ~Astrid~I’d gotten a gift for him, but somehow I was scared to give it to him. Not scared particularly, but well, I thought it would be odd especially when our relationship wasn’t as defined. But now? Hell yeah.“Can you give a hint? I hate surprises,” he muttered, and I chuckled as he unlocked the door, pushing it open for me to walk in.“Trust me. It’s nothing that would kill you or give you a heart attack of some sort,” I muttered, but he only gave a small groan. The man was impatient, that much was obvious.I’d gotten them with me before our flight since I’d done them in New York, but well, I’d been looking for the right time that wasn’t forthcoming up until now.I walked into our bedroom and towards my suitcase while he stayed by the door, leaning on it with legs crossed.I grabbed the box from the side before walking back to him. I was a little nervous, wondering if he’d love it or not. Wait, was this how he felt before proposing?God, second-doubting oneself sucked. Really suc

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Forever

    AdrianShe stood in the middle of the rink with a bunch of roses in her hand, looking confused. It was cute somehow, and it didn’t help her confusion in the slightest considering that Freya said nothing to her.She turned around and stared at me, blue eyes wild with confusion. I drew in a deep breath.This was it. Now or never.I walked towards her slowly, trying to calm the bunch of nerves in my stomach. God, I never knew proposing would be this hard.I was scared of the many different ways this could go. What if she said no? What if she didn’t like it?It was in that moment I started doubting everything I’d thought, and if maybe I’d misunderstood everything all along.She loves me, but what if she doesn’t want to be with me? What if she needed more time?“What’s going on? I just saw Freya. What’s she doing here?” Astrid whispered, looking around the rink where the skaters skidded.I was sure Freya must have disappeared. She’s with Maya somewhere around.“You sure she’s the one?” I a

    Astrid The next few days passed by quickly, and it was fun. So much fun. Adrian became my tour guide, and we explored so many places in England and, of course, with me properly wrapped in layers of clothing to keep me warm. Not like I’m complaining. “You’re really not telling me where we’re going next?” I asked, hooking my hand around Adrian’s arm as we sat in a cab, driving to God knows where. He hummed, glanced at me, and gave a small smile that seemed almost shy. It was sweet. “I can’t convince you to tell me?” I asked, making my voice sultry and sweet. I scooted closer to him, and he narrowed his eyes at me. “Nope. And no, don’t do what it is you have in mind,” he said, and I chuckled before rubbing the beard that was beginning to grow on his chin. “I have nothing in mind,” I muttered, meeting his eyes, and he raised a lazy brow at me that said otherwise. I laughed. “Well, yeah, I do have a couple of ideas in convincing you,” I said, and he opened his mouth to speak

  • My Best Friend's Brother    His World

    ~Adrian~“What do you want for dinner?” I asked, turning the heat up a notch as Astrid sat in front of the fireplace she’d lit after we came inside.She hummed, folding her legs under her on the chair.“I’m not hungry.”I glanced at her and rolled up my sleeves.“And I’m supposed to believe that?”Her eyes flicked to mine. Even from where I stood, I could see the flames reflected in them.“Yeah.”She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. I shook my head and headed toward the kitchen.“I’ll make some eggs. For later, if you get hungry.”I heard her shifting before she called out softly.“That’d be nice. Thank you.”Silence followed, though a million thoughts crowded my mind.I’d always known England was Astrid’s dream country. That’s why I thought—no, knew—that proposing to her here would be magical. Freya had agreed when I told her. It was bound to happen soon. Her family would be flying in—without Astrid knowing. But for now, I just wanted her to enjoy herself, without pressure.

  • My Best Friend's Brother    Snow

    ~Astrid~I had no idea how Adrian managed it, but we were in England within two days, and goodness—it was snowy.I’d never been more excited about anything in my whole life. Tugging at his arm, I pointed at a car half-covered in snow as he pulled keys from his pocket and unlocked a door.Well, he’d said we weren’t going to stay at a hotel, and then he went all out and rented a summer house sitting pretty by the side of the road.It was nice. And the thought of having him all to myself for the next few days was thrilling. Okay, yeah—a lot of things thrilled me.He hummed, glanced down at me, then followed the direction I was pointing. He raised a brow. I giggled.“Do you think we can maybe catch some snow later?” I asked.He pressed his lips together before dropping his eyes to mine. Those pretty brown eyes, framed by lashes far too long for a man—if you ask me.“No, we can’t,” he said, adjusting the coat around me before pushing the door open and holding it out for me.I pursed my lip
