NICOLE

I wake up with the sun in my eyes, and my heart automatically skips a beat when I realize where I am.

Fuck.

I can't believe I let this happen.

Roman shifts beside me, and my heart sinks right before I turn my head to look at him. Relief swarms me when I realize he's still fast asleep. Flashes of last night occur to me. Our bodies so close I couldn't tell where mine ended and his began. His mouth over my throat. His warm breath over my skin. The things he said to me...all the dirty things that set me on fire.

I blink and it's all gone.

It occurs to me suddenly what I have to do—what the right thing would be.

Carefully, I slip out of his bed, and I gather my dress and my heels before heading to the door.

I get dressed in the living room, feeling so exposed and dirty now that the sun is up. The soreness in my muscles and particularly between my legs is a dirty reminder of what I've done. What I allowed to happen. God, I didn't even tell Mason that I'd spend the night elsewhere. I

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   179: Same Mistakes

    NICOLE"Nicole? What the hell are you doing!?"He charges towards us, so fast that it makes my head spin, and then he positions himself beside Haley and throws an arm around her shoulder.I watch my brother doing this and wonder where the hell things went so wrong."Nicole!" he says again. This time, when he looks up at me, he's not shocked. He has anger written all over his face."You can't seriously believe that I started this!" I spit. "I told you I didn't want to come in here because I knew she'd start some shit, and that's exactly what she did!""N-No," Haley says. Oh, God. She's stuttering now and tears are pouring down her face. I can't believe the show she's putting on right now in front of Mason.And like the idiot he is, he's buying it!"I didn't want any trouble," Haley cries before sniffling. "I just wanted to talk to her and try to explain my part! I know that I'm not wanted here and—"I don't even let her finish. "That's not true, Mason. Don't even listen to her! She's a

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   178: Fight Starter

    NICOLEI stop by Mason's after work to grab my things.It's time to get this done, even if it breaks my heart. I've lived with Mason for most of my life and I'm thankful to him for so much that he's done for me.In fact, I do find myself wishing that things between us could've ended in a better way, and I hate that Haley is the one who got between us. Haley, of all people.But I take a few deep breaths to calm myself because she's never been worth it and I won't cause trouble. I'm not here for that.That's why I decide to give him a call before heading into the apartment. The last thing I want to do is invade his privacy.He answers on the third ring. "Hey, Nicole. Is everything alright?""Yeah, I'm just...here to pick up my things. I was wondering if I could come up.""Come on, Nicole.""What?""Don't do this."I'm so confused by what he's saying. "Do what? What am I trying to do exactly, Mason?""You know you can walk into that apartment whenever you want," he claims. "Look, I know

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   177: Lunchbreak Activities

    NICOLE Roman hasn't taken his eyes off me since Esmeralda left the office. I go between looking right back at him and staring at the floor as I try to make sense of what I just experienced. His staring isn't helping. "Roman," I begin, "please stop.""What can I do?" he asks tenderly as he finally closes the distance between us. It has probably only been a couple of minutes since she left the office crying but in my mind, it feels a lot longer. "Tell me what to do to make this better.""Nothing."He sighs. "Nikki...""I don't mean it in that way. I only mean that I know this isn't your fault, so no, there's nothing you can do.""You believe me, then.""Of course, I do."The way he wraps his arms around me and holds me really touches my heart. He kisses my shoulder and says, "I'm sorry you had to see that. I don't know why these things keep happening. The new guard who's constantly around her knows he's never supposed to bring her here. I'll have to find someone else.""It'll be okay

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   176: Showdown

    ROMAN I crumple the newspaper between both hands, clenching my teeth so hard my head hurts. Damned reporters. I should've been more aware of my surroundings, and I guess in the back of my mind I knew there were risks involved with fighting someone in broad daylight with so many people watching. But I had no clue that this embarrassing situation would be all over the papers. Even the arrest! The worst part? I'm the only one they've named. Sebastian is probably well hidden behind his connections, and has been described as a 'businessman'. It's ridiculous. I'm in a terrible mood. All of this was so unexpected. I'll have to deal with court appearances and all sorts of things. We'll have to see how it goes. Sebastian's being an unnecessary pain about this. Then again, I'd probably act the same way if I didn't get the girl. I have a few meetings with some of my best clients later on, and I'm sure this altercation will be brought up. I'm sighing just thinking about it. The fucking fa

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   175: Resolved

    NICOLEAs soon as I wake up in the morning, I decide that I have to talk to Mason and I can't wait. I've been thinking about last night's events nonstop and I feel terrible about how things ended. After sleeping on this matter, I now know that he must be going through a lot. I mean, Haley is allegedly pregnant and that's a serious issue. What was he supposed to do? Abandon her in the streets?Something about this feels off, though. When did she find out about the pregnancy? I have a feeling that this is a trick from her side somehow. I don't know. Maybe I just hate her so much that I'm making up issues that don't exist, but anyway, that's how I feel. Mason is my brother. He was there when I needed him the most and now I have to do the same for him. I call him even though I know he's at work and he picks up right away. He sounds relieved when he says my name. "Nicole.""I was wondering if we could talk?""Lunch break?""Yeah.""Where?""The sandwich shop near the apartment?""See y

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   174: Long Day

    NICOLEI meet with Roman's lawyer at the police station and we manage to bail him out.Seeing him is a relief because for a crazy moment, I just imagined how bad things could get. What if he had accidentally killed Sebastian? He'd be arrested for a long time, right on the day of our marriage.That would be heartbreaking.But we're together now and he looks exhausted but fine. He's in one piece, at least. He exchanges a few words with his lawyer, who then says goodbye, and now we're heading toward my car together. He has an arm around my shoulder."Your lawyer told me Sebastian pressed charges."Roman scoffs. "He's a pussy, that's why. I didn't expect anything less from him.""Why'd you hit him?"He looks at me like I've just asked him the dumbest question on planet earth. "Are you kidding?"I sigh, exasperated and frustrated. "Roman, there was no reason for you to pick a fight with him. I didn't want you to get into a situation like this with him. There was no need. I told you, there
