NICOLE

Sebastian spends the better part of his day showing me how things operate so I can be ready to start work tomorrow.

Things are going fast—and honestly? This is amazing.

I haven't thought of my problems once since arriving here, and the feel of the place is cozy. This is all Sebastian, of course. There's something about him that leaves me completely at ease. His energy is soothing, and in my heart, I'm thanking Katie again and again.

He's kind. Calm. Collected. Patient. All in all, such a great, polite guy.

I love being around him, and with each passing moment, I start to feel more and more inadequate. Why? Because I'm finding him handsome, and the closer I look, the more about him I like.

And of course, that isn't ideal at all.

"So, you see?" he begins as he raises his head. "Pretty simple, right?"

I nod, my mouth dry. He has a lock of hair falling over his eyes, and he doesn't bother brushing it back.

I'll blame my reaction to him on the high emotions I've been riding on for t

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   186: Smart and Dumb Decisions

    NICOLEI'm drop-dead tired by the time I reach the penthouse.Roman rushes toward me before I even have time to exhale. He's dressed in a gray cotton t-shirt and sweatpants. His hair is disheveled, and oddly enough, this reminds me of Sebastian and how he looked not half an hour ago."I'm sorry," he says right away before trying to kiss me on the lips. I give him my cheek instead, and this is instinctive. Roman tenses but doesn't comment.I'm not trying to cause problems, but I kind of am.It's hard to explain.Things become even more complicated when I decide that I want to know what kept him from me all night, and he was so busy that he couldn't even call. "How is she?"Roman exhales, "Nikki, I—""I want to know, Roman."His eyes search mine. I'm getting angrier by the minute, and I can't stop myself from feeling this way. Yes, I want to start a fight. Yes, it could be that I'm being irrational now. But I'm angry and I've had a terrible day, and it isn't fair to me, either.It reall

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   185: Veiled Apology

    NICOLE I find Sebastian in the same restaurant we used to go to. I have the feeling that something is off about him as soon as my eyes land on his face. He looks agitated and genuinely looks like he has aged five years in the space of a few weeks. When he catches a glimpse of me, he stands up. "Nicole," he says once I'm close to his table, "thanks for coming.""Is everything alright?" I ask slowly as I hang my purse on the back of the chair and sit down. He grabs a seat, too, and clasps his hands in front of him. The circles under his eyes are dark and really stand out. I'm concerned. "I...actually no, Nicole," he admit before leaning closer to me. "I've been thinking about all of this for a long time. You know. The fight. The lawsuit."I shift uncomfortably in my seat but keep my eyes on his face. Sebastian was there for me during me during one of the toughest times of my life, so it only makes sense that I'm here when he clearly needs to get something off his chest. Yes, Roma

    NICOLE "Problem?" Laura echoes like she has no idea what I'm talking about. There's a smile on her lips that really makes me violent because I know she's doing this just to provoke me at this point. "Who said anything about a problem?"I stand up and shut the laptop. "Do you think coming here to try to undermine me is ever going to make Roman yours? You're wasting your time!"Her gaze sharpens and that's when I find out that I hit the nail of the head. "No, you're wasting your breath trying to make a decent and honest man out of him. I've been with him before, and let me tell you, men like him? They never stay faithful for long."I stare at her for a few beats before saying, "So, your intention is to...what? Have an affair with him? Have him all for yourself?"Laura clasps her hands in front of her. "I guess that's none of your concern."Great. After having an absolutely shitty night, this is just what I needed. Another psycho trying to make me feel bad about being with him. Roman's

    NICOLEI open my eyes and my first instinct is to look around the room for Roman.Sure enough, he still isn't here, and it's morning. Though I'm trying really hard to keep a positive outlook and accept that this is a part of his life that he can't just erase, I'm struggling. Especially after what happened last night.Knowing that he's in a clinic or hospital somewhere, standing beside Esmeralda and her swollen belly, really does something strange to me. My thoughts take a dark turn and insecurity sets in.It hurts. Even though I know he's just performing his duty. Of course, she's milking it. She wants his attention. She wants him all for herself.We never talk about her and I mean never. I don't care about her condition and Roman doesn't offer any explanation. But when things like this happen, that's when it becomes hard to ignore.I wash up and head to the kitchen to have breakfast, but realize that I'm not hungry at all. This has really ruined my appetite.Couldn't he at least have

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   182: Crisis

    ROMANI'm pissed as I make my way to the hospital.Dammit. Why does that woman insist on pestering me? Why does she keep getting herself into situations where I have to check up on her? I was just celebrating the fact that she was leaving me alone and I didn't have to deal with her for a month.I guess I spoke too soon.I tell the front desk her name and they direct me to where her room is. I reach the door and find a woman with a white coat writing something on a clipboard right in front of it. She looks at me and asks, "Mr. Hayes?"Great. She knows my name. "Yes.""I'm Dr. Sullivan," she says before extending her hand for me to shake. "I'm Miss Garcia's doctor.""How is she?""Not good," she claims. Her face is serious now, and her tone is grave. "Miss Garcia hasn't been doing well at all, and everything points to severe stress and anxiety in her daily life. On top of that, she has a condition known as preeclampsia, which means her blood pressure is high and her organs are under ext

    NICOLE"Nikki!"I only feel better once I step out the door and find myself in the parking lot. Then, I slow down and give Roman a chance to catch up to me.He reaches me and places both his hands on my shoulders to steer me around. We're facing each other now and the panic I see in his eyes takes me aback."Is it because of Laura? Look, baby, she's the one who's—""What?" I interrupt. "What are you talking about?"Roman looks stunned. "Why'd you run out like a maniac, then?""I...it's nothing.""Nikki.""I thought I saw something. That's all. It was nothing. Let's just...go home."When Roman says nothing, I start toward the car. I'm aware of his eyes on me but I really wish he would just drop the subject because I really don't want to think about any of this. I don't want to talk about it either.At last, he joins me but I'm aware of how slowly he's walking. His eyes haven't left me for a second and I know I'm leaving him hanging, but I make a point of not looking his way.He unlocks
