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

  • 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"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

    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
