Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 147: Don’t tell him
The following day, I dressed carefully. I had one of Blaine's dress shirts, one I'd borrowed months earlier after sleeping late at his place and rushing to get to work on time. I wore that, belting it over a pair of jeans, and drove to Minah's yoga studio. Her car was in the parking lot behind the building, so I parked down the street and strode confidently through the front doors."Welcome to Shanti Yoga," came the pleasant greeting from behind the reception desk. A sweet-looking girl wearing a sports-top stood as I entered. "Our class just started, but there's another in forty-five minutes.""Actually, I'm here to see Minah," I said.She smiled. "Of course! I'll call her up."Before the girl could even grab the phone, it was ringing. She frowned, then picked it up."Hi, Minah. You have a—" She stopped, listening, then glanced at me fearfully. "Um, okay."She hung up and bit her lip. "I'm really sorry, but she said she'd like you to leave."I laughed. "Those were her words?"The girl
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 146: Far from Normal
Normal people would probably have directed their anger at Axel. They would have mourned, grieved, then picked up the pieces and moved on, finding some new joy in the world. There would probably be some anger reserved for Minah. She certainly wasn't blameless, but her role had hurt Axel more than it hurt me. Frankly, normal people would probably have been relieved that it was over. Being stuck in the middle of their insane relationship wouldn't have been anyone's idea of fun.I was so far from normal.The first thing I needed to know was if Minah was truly the one hitting Axel. I was fairly certain. He had all but confirmed it, but I needed full certainty before I did anything to her. I needed to see it for myself.We all have to have morals of some sort.I brought my car to the dealership and traded it in for a much shittier car and some cash to pay my next month's rent. Then I immediately drove it to Axel and Minah's house, parked it down the street a bit, and walked to the nearest b
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 145: Get Out
I responded instinctively, my mind blank, the voices and the anger and the terror silent as I kissed him back. It was everything, it was all I wanted, him and his mouth and his body pressed to mine as he stole my lips. My body rejoiced, on fire, eager, wanting more and more and more, and I gave in. I kissed him, I touched him, I ran my hands up his arms and to his neck.My fingers brushed along the raised scratches on his throat and I froze."Axel," I mumbled, trying to turn my head away from him.He directed my mouth back to his and I struggled away again."Axel, stop."He did, eyes opening as he stopped kissing me, and it took every bit of strength I ever had or ever would have again to push him away.Mental strength, at least. Axel didn't move away from me, but he stopped touching me. He watched silently as I touched my lips with my fingertips and tried to understand what had just happened."What are you doing?" I whispered.His jaw twitched but he didn't answer."Axel, what the fu
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 144: It’s Real
I didn't have enough friends for word to spread like wildfire. It spread more like melted wax, dripping and hardening and cracking, the truth burning away until it piled up into a grotesque, uneven lump.Still, Minah's story spread to the few friends I did have. They made sure to tell me how disgusted they were on her behalf, how gracious she was to offer to help me after I'd done so much to hurt her, how selfish and arrogant and creepy I was. Then the messages dried up, my phone stopped vibrating with angry texts and mocking voicemails, and I was alone.I applied for unemployment payments and was rejected. I considered Minah's suggestion of seeing a doctor and rejected that myself. I didn't have that kind of money, and I sure as hell wasn't going to ask Minah for help.I huddled in my basement for a week. The air was hot and sticky, clinging to me, trapping me, enveloping me in spider's silk, but I was so cold. I put on layers of sweaters and buried myself in blankets, sweat dripping
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 143: Excuse Me
"Is he hurting you?" I whispered."No!" she spat. "He would never. He would never lay a fucking hand on me, understand?"I recoiled, stupidly stunned by the sudden venom in her voice. This wasn't the Minah I knew. This wasn't my Minah, my friend, my roommate, the woman who was beautiful and sweet and peaceful. When had she become... this? When had she turned from my Minah to the crying, angry, shaking woman before me?Worse, why hadn't I noticed?I was supposed to be her friend."You need to tell him," I said. "Minah, you have to tell Axel. You can't just—""Tell him?" She laughed, a sound like crumpled plastic bags, and shook her head. "What, so you can swoop in and comfort him and beg at his feet for him to finally fucking notice you?"I swallowed the pain and shook my head. Pricks of vertiginous numbness swirled through my body, dizziness that overtook the tips of my fingers and toes, shivered up my spine and through my ribs, squeezing my lungs and stomach like a vice.she knowsOf
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 142: How long
I slumped low in the seat, only my forehead visible through the window, my eyes following as Blaine walked to his car, got in, and drove away. He didn't notice my vehicle or see me. Still, it took a long, long time before I could peel my fingers away from the steering wheel and open the door, stepping out on legs that knocked together as I walked.When Minah answered the door, she stared at me for a moment. Her lips were still slightly swollen, her hair artfully mussed up around her head."Cecily?""Hi."She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in close. I could smell him on her, the scent of sex, bitter and musky and wrong. She was supposed to smell like Axel, not like Blaine."Come in. I've been so worried about you."I followed her through the house numbly, hardly listening as she spoke. She got me a glass of water and we sat at the kitchen table."How are you feeling?" I asked.She put a hand on her stomach. There wasn't even a hint of a swell of anything there, but she smiled d
Rule Number One: My Brother's Best Friend Chapter 50: Passed Out
The thundering in my ears became a tumultuous roar, a wash of heat surging through my body like molten lava, spreading fire until every part of me was aflame. His hands burned on my waist, branding me as they swept slowly upwards, holding me to him in an act of raw possession, binding me ever close

What the hell...? Completely taken aback, I felt my eyes growing wider and wider. "Drew," I began, not knowing quite what I was going to say. "Look—""Or do you know?" he added, his eyes narrowing, that cold glint returning. "Maybe you're not that naïve after all. Maybe this is all part of the deal

"Here you are, bella. But I'm not sure it's much colder, I'm afraid."Shit, Marco was coming back! Bending down, I balled up the soft leather jacket and closed the door, only then realising I had no place to hide it. How the hell was I going to explain where I'd got it from? "Fuck," I muttered unde

Drew's eyebrows vaulted towards his blond hair, his mouth opening then closing uselessly, the shock of seeing me there apparently robbing him of the power of speech.And then he laughed. "No way," he said disbelievingly. "Really? You had the same idea? You figured I must've left it here too? Great
