Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated to Brianna: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

The next couple of days seemed to fly by, Dez was so busy at the gym and I had a bunch of papers due soon for school that I was laser-focused on until they were done. I was in town on and off to go into work, I had to do some filing in the office and pick up a laptop to be able to remote in from home when needed. Savannah had tried to message me a few times just to hang out, but I pushed her off hoping she would understand, and it wouldn’t ruin how things were going between us.I was trying to put the finishing touches on a paper when there was a knock at the door, but when I opened it, I wished I wouldn’t have. Connor was leaning against the door frame, in much more casual attir

“What is your plan exactly Brianna,” Dez’s tone was already hurting my feelings, “to just lead every guy on in town and then what? You don’t think it’s going to have repercussions?” I sat there stunned as he fired more questions at me, “You think I want to up and move every six months when your life doesn’t turn out as planned and you don’t want to deal with the people you’ve hurt anymore? You think I enjoy watching my baby sister flaunt herself out there to anyone who shows her attention? It’s like you think this is a game, it’s not. You’re fucking around with people’s feelings Brianna.”All of his words flew around in my head with shock and anger, I felt like I was vibrating inside as tears streamed down my face on their own accord. Did Nathan get up

“There is no situation, Connor is… Connor,” I laughed, “that day you sent him over, do you know where he took me?”“Who knows,” she scoffed, “it’s Connor.”“A rage room,” I paused and nodded at her when she looked at me in disbelief, “but it was actually super fun. I’m sure he just assumed it would be interesting to see what I would do, he made me sign the waiver without knowing what I was signing, BUT it helped get a bunch of anger and stuff out that I was holding onto from being with my ex.”“Please promise me you will never sign anything else Connor asks you to sign blindly,” she scolded me. 

Xander: Hey, hope your week is going great. Given any more thought to letting me take you out of town for a few days?Me to Xander: I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little confused after you left the pub last weekend the way you did. Thanks by the way, for covering our tab, but it wasn’t necessary.  His message surprised me, and I wasn’t sure how Dez was going to react still, plus I didn’t want to be the reason he missed Christmas things with his family who all lived around him. He was so hot and cold, and after everything with Connor, I just wasn’t sure about anything anymore. I woke up to Dez making pancakes, the smell was unmistakable and mouth watering as it carried down into my room. I tore myself from bed faster than normal, and when I got upstairs he pull

I went inside and tried to calm down before I called Savannah. I sent her some pics of the floral arrangement and gushed with her a bit over it before talking about random things to get my mind off all the Dez drama this morning. She told me about a few houses her and Mike had found, asked my opinion on some layout issues, but overall she hadn’t loved any of the houses, so she was still in the air. I offered to come over on Christmas Eve to help her with anything she needed for the party, but she just wanted people to show up and enjoy it. I asked her if Connor was coming, and she thought he would, but she was surprised by his reactions when I told her about my run-in with him. If Dez came home that night, I didn’t hear him, and he was gone before I woke up. This was the first time he was actively avoiding me and it hurt, all I wanted wa
