The Rogue Next Door Chapter 63
MayaI should be studying.Instead I’m staring at the text message Cole sent me twenty minutes ago like it personally offended my ability to function normally.Cole:Be ready at 7.That’s it.No explanation.No details.Just—Be ready at 7.I glance up from my phone as Bree walks into the kitchen holding a bowl of cereal.“You look stressed.”“I am stressed.”“School stressed or hot-athlete stress?”I glare at her.“That’s not funny.”“It’s a little funny.”Unfortunately—It kind of is.Which makes me more annoyed.Bree sits across from me at the table, immediately spotting my phone.“Oh my God.”“What?”“That’s the face.”“What face?”“The ‘I’m trying not to smile at my phone because I’m emotionally compromised’ face.”I immediately set the phone down.“I hate you.”“No you don’t.”She shovels cereal into her mouth casually.Then asks:“So which one is texting you now?”I blink.“Now?”“Maya, your life currently resembles a Netflix drama.”Fair.Very fair.Still annoying though.“It’

ColeI can’t stop thinking about her saying she could fall for me.Not all night.Not the next morning.Not even halfway through film review while Coach is yelling about defensive coverage.Which is honestly a problem.Because normally football blocks everything else out.Always has.The field makes sense.Routes.Reads.Pressure.Execution.Simple.Maya Bennet?Not simple.At all.Jake elbows me during film review.“You’ve been staring at the same play for thirty seconds.”“I’m literally watching film.”“You’re literally thinking about Maya.”I don’t answer.Mostly because he’s right.Jake grins immediately.“Oh my God.”“Shut up.”“You’re gone.”I lean back in my chair rubbing a hand over my face.“She kissed me first.”That shuts him up for exactly two seconds.Then:“Oh you are DOWN BAD.”Several teammates nearby immediately turn around.Fantastic.“Who kissed who first?” Markus asks loudly.Jake points dramatically at me.“Maya kissed him first.”The room explodes.I close my eye

LoganI shouldn’t still be standing at the window.That’s the first thought in my head.The second?This hurts a hell of a lot more than I expected.Down below, Maya is still sitting beside Cole on the porch steps.Close.Too close.And even from up here I can see it.The way she looks at him now.Open.Soft.Like she finally stopped fighting whatever’s happening between them.Cole says something low enough I can’t hear.Maya laughs quietly.Then she leans into him again.And yeah.There it is.The sharp twist in my chest I’ve been trying to ignore for weeks now.I step back from the window finally, scrubbing a hand down my face.This is exactly what I told myself not to do.Get attached.Get hopeful.Get stupid.But somewhere between late-night study sessions and coffee runs and fixing broken cabinet hinges for her because she looked stressed about it—I fell anyway.The worst part?I can’t even be angry at her.Or at him.Because the truth is painfully obvious now.They fit.Not per

MayaI can’t sleep.Again.At this point I’m pretty sure sleep and I are no longer in a relationship.I lie in bed staring at the ceiling while my brain replays the last seventy-two hours like some kind of emotional torture montage.The football game.Savannah humiliating me.Cole defending me.Logan defending me.Campus whispers.Girls staring.The way Cole looked at me on the sidewalk afterward like I was something important.I groan and drag my pillow over my face.“What is happening to my life?”No answer.Rude.I throw the pillow aside and sit up.The digital clock beside my bed glows 1:17 AM.Perfect.Fantastic.I have class tomorrow and instead of sleeping like a normal person, I’m spiraling over two athletes who suddenly decided I exist.Actually—Not just exist.Apparently matter.That’s the terrifying part.I swing my legs over the side of the bed quietly, trying not to wake Bree in the next room. The house is silent except for the hum of the refrigerator downstairs.I grab

LoganI realize Cole Ryder is serious about Maya three days later.Not at the game.Not at the porch.Not even when he publicly defended her in front of half the stadium.No.I realize it Monday morning at seven thirty when I walk downstairs and find him sitting on our porch steps.Holding coffee.What the hell?I stop halfway down the stairs.Cole looks up immediately.Neither of us says anything for a second.Mostly because this is weird.Very weird.Quarterback of the football team sitting outside my house before sunrise looking like he hasn’t slept enough.“For you?” I ask finally.Cole glances at the coffee in his hand.Then toward the front door.“Maya.”Ah.There it is.I lean against the railing crossing my arms.“You know she lives here, right? You can knock.”His jaw flexes slightly.“She had a rough weekend.”Interesting.Not I wanted to see her.Not I missed her.He’s worried about her.That’s different.Dangerously different.I study him carefully now.Because this whole

ColeThe locker room is absolute chaos after the game.Music blasting.Guys yelling.Pads getting thrown around.Half the team riding the high from the win while Coach screams at everyone to enjoy tonight because Monday he’s making us suffer again.Normal post-game energy.Except apparently tonight I’m the entertainment.Because the second I walk into the locker room, Jake points at me dramatically and shouts:“There he is!”Oh no.Absolutely not.Several heads snap toward me instantly.Jimmy grins like an idiot from across the room.“OUR BOY IS IN LOVE!”The entire locker room erupts.Groans.Yelling.Someone actually starts fake crying.I immediately turn around like I’m considering walking back out.“Don’t you dare,” Jake laughs, throwing a towel at my head.I catch it one-handed and glare at him.“You’re all annoying.”“Oh we’re annoying?” Markus says loudly. “You publicly claimed a girl in front of half the school tonight.”“That was insane,” another teammate says.“You basically

Maya The next few days after the incident with Tessa were… strange. Before all of that happened, the football guys next door mostly just waved if they saw me outside. Now? Now it’s: “Hey Maya.” “How was your day, Maya?” “You doing okay, Maya?” It’s sweet. But also a little weird.

MayaI should probably stop staring.But it’s hard not to.Because Cole Ryder and Logan Hayes are standing in the same room.And neither of them looks like they’re leaving anytime soon.The hockey players are still arguing about the game in the living room.The football guys have made themselves co

Maya The hockey team winning tonight apparently means my house is now the unofficial after-party location. Which I definitely did not sign up for. Yet here we are. Ten hockey players currently occupy my living room, loudly arguing about the game while drinking beer like they just survived a war

ColeI’m leaning against the railing on our porch when the front door of Maya’s house opens.Light spills out across the yard.A second later, Maya Bennet steps outside.She pulls the door shut behind her and stands there for a moment on the porch like she just needed air.Her shoulders rise and fa
