It's Saturday, and Mason and I are at Katie's funeral.

Words can't truly describe what I'm going through right now. The realization that I'll never see her again handy truly sunk in yet—it's like I'm in a place between acceptance and denial.

Katie's done so much for me...now she's gone.

It's so abrupt. I'm transported back to the days when Ma passed, but we knew what to expect for a long time. Every day, we'd be relieved when she woke up, until the day came when she didn't, and we had to face a reality without her in it.

Watching Katie's coffin be lowered into the ground makes my head spin.

I wish I had met her for more coffees. I wish I had asked her for more advice, or that we'd talked about Ma more, since Katie knew a version of her that I had never seen before.

When everything's done, I feel exhausted. There aren't many of us in attendance, and I don't know ninety-five percent of the people here. From her family, only Sebastian is here, which makes me vaguely wonder why the

    NICOLE"It's Haley," Mason claims. "I would recognize her handwriting anywhere. Writing notes was kind of her thing."Of course. Who else would it be?"What do you mean by 'kind of her thing'?""I mean she'd leave notes everywhere."He turns away and goes to throw the note in the trash. I tell him, "Wait! Maybe we should call the police or something!""She's probably just being bitter," he claims dismissively."Mason! This is serious. She's threatening to kill me.""She's trying to scare you," he insists. "It only works if you let it work. Plus, if we call the police, what proof would we have that it's her? Think about it. We'd be wasting their time and ours, and in the end, she'd still win.""So, we're just supposed to ignore her and wait for the worst to happen."My brother sighs, exasperated. "Nothing bad will happen. Just calm down and trust me, alright?"I force myself to breathe. Yes, it would definitely be worse if it were Carmen who was delivering these notes, but I'm still al

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   119: Kept Promises and Chaos

    NICOLEI'm sprawled on the couch as Roman buttons up his shirt.My center is still stinging from the orgasm I had, but watching him get dressed makes me want him all over again, which is sick, considering how this should have never happened in the first place.But here we are.Roman has promised not to push me away, and all that's left for me to do is figure out whether or not he'll keep his promise."You coming back home?" he asks.Home. For some reason, my heart skips a beat when he mentions the flat he bought for me. "No, I think I'll spend some time here."He nods, and I see relief written all over his face. I genuinely want to spend some time with Mason, but I also don't want my brother to see me for what I am—someone who will always choose Roman, no matter what.I turn to putty in his hands. There's no way around it."We'll figure this out," he mentions like he can read my thoughts. His eyes meet mine and he smiles a little while his expression softens. "Everything will be okay.

  • 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
