Trevor

We’re both quiet when we get back home. After our long hug outside, Gracie’s cheeks have maintained a rosy, crimson shade, and she’s been avoiding my gaze.

“Gracie,” I call when she hurries to walk away from me after we walk into the house. I take her wrist before she makes it far, and twirl her around so she faces me again.

She gasps, and her eyes widen. “I should get inside,” Gracie stutters before lowering her eyes from mine again.

Her lower lip quivers; it seems like she’s terrified of something.

Truth is, I get the feeling. That hug and spending the night with her is the highlight of my day. I haven’t enjoyed anyone’s company this much in years. Most times, when I hang out with my teammates or girls from the club, I find myself missing Gracie’s easy laugh and her vibrant nature.

She’s the best part of my memories of living in Golden Bay. Gracie makes it possible for me to forget all about my parents’ horrid past. The fighting, the cheating. It’s the reason why I must alway

  • Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend    Book 5: chapter 19

    TrevorGracie is the only thing I think about. After my outburst in the kitchen, my friends and I decided to spend the night playing video games and drinking. It’s a usual boys' hang-out theme, and I prefer to have their company around tonight because it’ll help distract my thoughts from the woman driving me insane in the next room.My boys are enjoying the game while we’re in the living room, and I’m nursing my can of soda, watching them play while trying to analyze my thoughts.I never should have told her about my parents, I think with a deep sigh. I’ve never wanted Gracie to see me as weak or broken. Now that she knows about my past, she might think I’m living with a deep scar in my heart. I’ve never wanted her to see me as weak or broken, so I’ve never explained this to her.The truth is, my parents lived their lives and made their mistakes. I don’t intend to make the same mistakes and allow myself to experience the same hurt my mother endured. My fear constantly nags me. What if

    Tears brim in his eyes as he speaks, and he lets out a pained sigh before backing away from me. “My father beat my mother so bad, sometimes she couldn’t see when she ended up in the hospital. He was never faithful, he never cared about me or her…and when he finally left, I thought it would be better. She was too broken to even realize she was wasting away in his absence. She loved him that much, Gracie. She loved him to death, and it ruined her!”His chest assumed heavy breathing, and watching his expression crumble as he withdrew from me sent a searing ache right through my chest.I move to him without hesitating, wanting to only comfort him.“Trevor…”“I never talk about this,” he says as he squeezes his eyes shut and lets out another deep breath. “Jace’s the only one who knows about this. He knows me better than anyone. He knows why I’ve vowed to never let myself love anyone and be weak.”My arms move around his body before he can withdraw from me completely. Trevor stiffens as I e

    GracieThe next evening, at dinner with some of Trevor’s teammates, Trevor is quiet most of the time. We haven’t said a word to each other since the brief kiss in the kitchen last night, and the tension from that encounter still zaps through me.The clink of silverware against each other reminds me of dinner with my parents and Trevor when we were younger. Those dinner times were, however, full of laughter and joy. I used to enjoy being around Trevor so much. It felt like he was family. And I started to fall for him.How did I let this happen? He turned me down eight years ago, and I should know better than to allow him to kiss me and sway me with words. Trevor’s not the kind of man who’ll love me. I knew that before I agreed to help him with this scheme.So why isn’t my heart complying? Even though I know harboring these feelings for him is useless, I can’t help myself. With a sigh, I focus on my casserole again, and try to ignore the jolts of adrenaline spiking through me and awaken

    My suspension has been lifted, and chances are my contract will be renewed because I’m a good player. So why does it feel like something is missing?I am lost in solemn thoughts when I return home. From the doorway, I inhale the whiff of blended ginger and cinnamon. Whatever Gracie is cooking already makes my mouth water.I head past the living room and get to the kitchen to find her humming and dancing while she stirs something in a pot. My heart stirs a little as I take in the sight of her once again.She looks so at ease, like she’s meant to be here.A pang enters my heart as I remember she won’t be here forever. When Gracie leaves, I’ll be left lonely again, and there’ll be no way to fill the void she leaves behind.“What’re you cooking?” I ask, and she turns around with a gasp to find me watching her from the doorway. Gracie breaks into a smile and chuckles before she wipes her hand over the napkin she’s holding.“A casserole,” she answers. “Remember my mom’s recipe?”“How can I

    Over the next few days, we do everything you think couples can do together. Now we’re on a Ferris wheel and it’s the craziest ride of my life. I toss my hands in the air and scream on top of my voice. The rush of adrenaline that courses through me is intense, and Trevor takes my hand in the air, links our fingers, and then holds on tight while he laughs, too. He’s panting by the time the ride ends, and we go on another ride, spending our time screaming and laughing while enjoying the heavy feel of the wind blowing over our faces the entire time. The rest of the evening, we stroll down Fifth Avenue while sharing an ice cream cone and holding hands. “This is refreshing,” he says as he glances down at me, then grins fully. “I haven’t done anything like this in a long time. Go on a Ferris wheel ride and share an ice cream cone while walking down the street like…” “Like every normal person in New York?” I ask as I turn to look at him and tilt my head to one side. “Come on, Trevor, wha
