NICOLE

God, I wish I could say that I'm not bothered at all by Roman, and that all I wanted to do was give him a warning to stay out of my relationship.

But it backfired.

Then again, rage-fueled decisions usually do.

When I caught a glimpse of him while I was leaving the restaurant with Sebastian, I saw red. What was he doing there, I wondered? What did he want? I knew then that he had been watching me throughout lunch. If I had just looked back, I would've seen him.

Is that what he wanted?

Is his ultimate goal to torment me for turning him down? What's this supposed to be, his male bruised ego trying to get back at me?

Now, he's saying he has proof that Haley lied.

And in just supposed to believe that?

As this thought crosses my mind while I'm heading outside to meet Sebastian and his family on the deck, I realize that I have more doubts than I would have some time ago.

Haley's just been...weird. Going through my things—most probably my phone—and disappearing whenever she wishes. I m

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   Ugly Endings

    NICOLE"Talk about what?" I ask almost breathlessly. I don't like the way he's watching me, and how he seems to be walking like he's forgotten how to. His feet are dragging across the floor and his shoulders are hunched. I've never seen Roman like this. He's always stood tall and proud, even when we were all broke and didn't have anything. Before he even answers me, I start to worry about what Mason said to him. I can tell he hasn't been punched, so what really happened between them?"This whole thing. Us.""What else is there to talk about?""A lot, Nikki," he says softly. I'm finally standing in front of him. I wrap my arms around his waist and stare up at his face encouragingly. "Tell me what's wrong. Was it Mason? Did he say something to offend you?"His eyes harden a little and the sight takes me by surprise. "Offend me? He didn't tell me anything that wasn't the truth.""Calm down, Rome...what's wrong? I don't understand it.""Well, you will in a second, Nikki," he continues

    ROMAN Once Nikki's gone, Mason waits a few more beats before he says, "What did you do to my sister? Why's her face all busted up like that?"His tone is accusatory and I can tell by the way he's shaking that he's trying his hardest to control himself. "I got into trouble and she paid the price for it," I admit. "What kind of price?" he demands. "What the fuck have you gotten my sister into, dick?""It's hard to explain, but it won't happen again.""Yeah?" He steps forward. "How can you be so sure?"I'm not sure. That's the truth. I stare back at him without saying anything because I know he's right. Mason shakes his head at me, getting redder by the minute. "I should punch your face in!""You should," I agree. He stares at me in disbelief, then he lunges. He pushes me against the front door, and as I stare back at him, I find myself thinking that if he punches me, I'll just take it. I deserve it. Maybe then I'll feel better about this whole thing. But Mason lowers his fist and s

    NICOLE When Mason arrives, I'm waiting for him outside with my arms folded while Roman is leaning against the door frame, watching the car approach. I can see his confusion even through the windshield. I've applied some makeup to my face, but some of the injuries are still visible. I force a smile, but Mason's frowning and he looks pissed as hell. After he climbs out of the car, he slams his door shut. "Nicole?"I gulp. "Hey, Mason."He closes the distance between us and grabs me by the arms. "You lost weight.""No, I didn't."His fingers are under my chin and he's tilting my head this way and that way. Roman watches us silently. Even I'm nervous at this point, because he's being aggressive and I already know how bad things get when my brother's in this state. "What's this?"I sigh. Why's my heart beating so fast? "What's what, Mason?"He narrows his eyes at me, and then looks over at Roman with a look that could kill. "What the fuck did you do to my sister, you piece of shit!?"H

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   109: The Aftermath

    NICOLEIt's been days since the whole encounter with Garith, yet every time I close my eyes, my mind takes me right back to that awful moment.In other words, when I'm not actively remembering all that shit, I'm dreaming it.Roman hasn't left my side once. He looks so guilty all the time. I can see it in the way he looks at me, and then there's the way he touches me. I know he blames himself, and it's partly my fault because I wasn't able to properly tell him just how grateful I am that he showed up when he did.I thought I'd have that man's limp penis inside of me, and yet, Roman showed up like a knight in shining armor, saving me from what would definitely be the worst thing that ever happened to me.Gosh. The thought of that stubby, nasty thing attached to that even nastier man just gives me the creeps. If I were him, I would never whip that thing out. I'd hide it in my drawers forever. These thoughts make me nauseous all of a sudden. I remember the way he smelled and throw up in m

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   108: Avenged

    ROMANMy mind seems to almost block out the scene before me, filling itself with rage instead, the kind that's black and blinding.I race toward Garith, ignoring his men, and slam my fist into his face. When the guys try to stop me, my men intervene, stepping in and allowing me to focus just on Garith Fucking Lowett.Garith who thinks he could put his hands on my girl and get away with it.It's all a blur. I punch him with everything I've got, again and again, and the sight of his blood on his face and on my knuckles isn't even reassuring to me. I don't stop. Not when the bones on his face start to crack. Not when his nose has turned to absolute mush. Not even when he starts to spit out some of his teeth."Roman!"The sound of Nikki's voice pulls me out of this trance. I look up and make eye contact with her, and the sight of her frightful face makes me stop. She's hugging her legs to her knees, and she's using her hands to cover her intimate parts.In a room full of fucking men, my b

    NICOLEIn the car, there's a man on either side of me, and Garith is in the passenger's seat.I have nowhere to run.I'm shivering and I'm not sure if it's because of the air conditioning in the car or because of the fact that I'm in just my underwear in a car with four men, one of whom has made it explicitly clear that he wants a 'taste' of me.This has to be the tensest, most fearful moment of my entire existence. I can't remember anything being this horrible. My heart's slamming against my ribs mercilessly and my breaths are shallow from all the anxiety and fear I'm experiencing.God, where's Roman?How far is this going to go?What will he do to me?Tears make my vision blurry and then they roll down my face, burning like acid. Garith's phone starts ringing, and he answers it with a casualness that makes me sick to my stomach."Hello, Angus," he says. In the same moment, I start screaming for help loudly, hoping that whoever is on the other end of the line is a better person than
