NICOLE

As I'm getting ready for dinner with Sebastian's family, Haley knocks on my door.

"Nicole? Could we have a word?"

From the sound of her voice, I can tell that she's upset. I turn my full attention to her, worried. What's going on, I wonder? Haley is rarely in a bad mood. I fold my arms and wait for her to speak while she closes the door behind her.

"I don't want you to be alarmed," she claims, probably because she can see worry written all over my face. "It's just a question I have for you."

"Go ahead," I say softly. "You know we can always talk about anything."

Haley flashes me a small, thin-lipped smile. "It's just that I was wondering if you ever saw Roman again after...you know...that whole thing."

I inhale sharply and think about my answer, but the truth is that it's hard for me to think clearly when she's asking me something so out of the blue. Haley has never asked me anything about Roman—so this is random. The question took me completely off guard.

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   118: Irresistible

    NICOLE Roman's kiss is bruising, and though I have this strong desire to push him away, I can't. My body still reacts to him, and I want him even when I don't. Angrily, I kiss him back, sinking my teeth into his bottom lip so hard I taste blood in my mouth. Roman doesn't draw back—he takes the punishment, and in no time, he's ripping my blouse, sending all the buttons flying. I do the same with his clothes, but his shirt is made of a better material, so it doesn't rip. Instead, I start undoing as many buttons as I can, then run my hand along the hard ridges of his chest and abdomen. I lose all my self-respect whenever he's near. His tongue glides along the length of mine, and our bodies are tightly pressed together. His erection is right up against me, and I'd be a liar if I said that I didn't want him, too. Regardless of what this man does to me, I'll always want him. One of his hands moves to the back of my neck, pulling me closer to deepen the kiss. The other slides all the w

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   117: Awful Truths

    ROMAN"Surprised to see me here?" I can't help but ask. The words come out all forced because of how furious I am. First, it was the photo of fucking Sebastian with his arm around her. Then came the info that they were in a café together. What the fuck?What's wrong with her?"Why wouldn't I be?" she shoots back, slamming the door shut and tossing her handbag on the nearest couch without looking. I step toward her, seething. "You're doing all of this to provoke me, aren't you? What the hell is wrong with you? I leave you for a second and you're with someone else?"She scoffs and folds her arms. "If you didn't want me to be with anyone else, then Mayne you should never have left.""Nicole," I grit out, "you don't get it, do you? You never understand anything!""Now you're calling me stupid!" she exclaims in disbelief before pointing at the door. "Get out! I'm a free woman. I can do whatever I want. You have no claim to me, my heart, or anything about me. Not anymore."A bitter laugh

    NICOLESebastian helps me all the way to my Chevrolet, and then, he stands beside me and watches me cry desperately.In the end, he says, "I can't let you drive in this state, Nicole. Tell me where you want to go."I shake my head. "Anywhere. I don't care.""Alright. I'll need you in the passenger's seat."I move there without stepping out, and Sebastian gets in my car. I press my forehead to the window as he starts the car. Though I feel his eyes on me, I don't meet his gaze for a second.He starts driving away from the hospital. I don't even find it strange that he doesn't ask me where I want to go; I just assume he's going to take me to Mason's place. But we're nowhere near that area, and when I look around, I realize that I don't recognize the road we're taking at all. Fear claws at my chest. I sit up straight and ask him hysterically, "Where are you taking me!?"Sebastian looks at me with confusion written all over his face. "I'm sorry...I thought I could treat you to some tea o

    NICOLEKatie says, "I know this is shocking for you. You've lived your whole life thinking the truth was something else. Your Ma never wanted you to know this, but to tell you the truth, I always felt guilty watching you struggle when you could've had a better life. A golden opportunity. Your biological father is a rich man, and if you go after him, your whole life could change."Katie's going a little too fast for me. I shake my head and ask her, "You're sure about this? Like absolutely sure?"She laughs. "Oh, my darling. How I'm going to miss you. Yes, I'm sure. Your Ma confided in me many times about this. I'm sure of what I'm saying. And I'm sorry for piling this on you—I always thought that keeping this from you was unfair."Oh, God. I need to sit down. I'm weak in the knees and my head is spinning in a strange way. It's like my mind wants to detach from my body and leap out the window. "Why...she cheated on my father? I mean...Mason's father?""Well, the matter is more complicat

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   114: Friendly Invitation

    ROMAN I feel like crap without Nikki, and my guilt at leaving her at the flat all by herself without saying a word threatens to choke me every once in a while. But it was necessary for me to do. Otherwise, I'd never be able to leave. I've been keeping tabs on her, though, as I still have one of my guys watching her every step. They're not going to let her out of their sights and this time, these guys are reliable. So, when I received the call that she was headed to one of the hospitals in town, I was worried and I still am. What could she be doing there? Is someone sick? Is she the one who's not feeling well? I have to admit that I'm always close to dropping everything and going to her to find out exactly what's wrong. Not having any intonation is torture. I'm still waiting for my guy to get back to me. My phone rings several minutes later and I hurry to pick it up. I know it's my guy. "Yes?""She's not a patient.""What do you mean, she's not a patient? What's she doing ther

    NICOLE I've had an awful night, all thanks to Roman. The circles under my eyes look even darker than my bruises, and as I stare into the mirror, I suddenly feel so tired that I grab the sides of the sink just to stay on my feet. I have to visit Katie today, and I'm almost ready; the only thing left to do is apply my makeup and I'll be good to go. But suddenly, I have this feeling of just giving up. Do I really want her to see me in this state? I'm so bitterly disappointed by how things turned out with Roman, but even more with the fact that my phone is dry and there's not even a text or call from him. How could he? He just left me after dropping the most destructive bomb right at my feet. He did this before, and I was stupid enough to think that this time would be different. I just never learn, do I?Maybe this is a punishment for always making the wrong decision. And I hate how he framed the whole breakup like it's the best thing for me. It should be my choice to stay on his
