All Chapters of My Best Friend’s Brother Is My Sneaky Link : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Camille: I stayed for two more days at the hospital so my wounds could heal to some degree. Lucia and my mom fell into a routine of taking turns to visit me at the hospital, both of them not wanting to cross each other’s paths. Daniel stayed by my side for the rest of my stay there, only leaving to freshen up and return after with food for me. When the doctor finally cleared me to leave, coincidentally, no one had been around. Daniel had just stepped out to freshen up for the day and my mom was working on moving her flight, while Lucia was doing whatever it was she was doing. There was still a wedge between us we couldn’t ignore. We’d been fighting before then, so turning into best buds again, especially after all I’d heard her confess would be not only hypocritical, but quite undoable for me. I supposed she felt the same way. “Won’t you wait for someone to come get you first?” The nurse who’d just given me a typed note of my discharge from the hospital as well as some medicat

Camille: “I love you so much baby, but I’ve got to go.” I shut my eyes, wishing he’d take those words back. “Just five more minutes. What difference will five minutes make?” I refused to tell him I loved him back. Telling him that would mean I consented to ending our discussion. Daniel smiled. He looked like the dream guy in a romance movie, especially because I was watching him through the screen of my laptop. “It doesn’t make much of a difference, yes, but when five minutes turns to five more, then before you know it, we’re in fifteen more and next, an hour is gone and I’ll be late for work. I won’t even need to show up because I wouldn’t have had the time to prepare for any cases at all and I’d end up losing everything. With no clients, my firm would shut down and that’ll be the end…” “Then you’ll come back to New York,” I muttered softly as a last attempt, but I knew that wasn’t possible. “No baby,” he said what I already knew he’d say. “I’ll bring you here

Camille: I banged on my apartment door like a maniac, totally ignoring the doorbell. I could barely control myself. My chest felt like it was going to explode. I didn’t know what to do with myself. My fists were almost bloody from punching the walls and then the door, something I’d never done in my life before. Grace, Lucia’s girlfriend used the door as a shield when she opened it. There was a mousy look on her face which soon turned into indignation as she realized it was just me and not some dangerous madman. “What on earth is wrong with you! Why did you knock like that?” I pushed past her into the house and began to yell Lucia’s name. “She’s not in the house,” Carla said. “Where the hell is she then?” I snapped at her and her mousy look returned. My hands were trembling. It was probably for the best that Lucia wasn’t around. I would have done something I’d have regretted. “She…she went to get groceries,” Grace responded. “Since when does Lucia get grocerie

Camille: “I don’t know.” Her words were barely audible as they came out muffled. “You don’t know what?” I asked, my patience running thin. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” Grace’s eyes met mine, the same baffled look behind them. “Lucia,” Grace called, her voice weak. She was the only one of us still standing by now. “What does that mean?” Lucia finally looked up at her. Her pupils were wide, like a puppy that had just been caught doing something wrong. “I’m sorry, Grace. She’s right. Most of what I told you were lies.” Grace’s lips trembled, but her eyes were fiery. She was broken, but furious. “Which part?” “Cam and I never dated.” “Then why did you say you did?” Lucia swallowed and looked away. “Because I wasn’t sure of us.” A lone tear fell down Grace’s cheek but she quickly wiped it. That was a very heartbreaking confession. “Two years,” she murmured, wiping more tears with more fury. It didn’t seem to stop them from coming though.

Camille: My heart beat faster, but this time, for a different reason. How??? “What are you…how on earth did you…?” I stammered, touching his skin as if to convince myself he was real and not some hallucination I was having after passing out. I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up in a hospital bed and be told none of it had happened. “Did you really think I was going to let you go through this alone?” Daniel asked with a chuckle. I hugged him tight, inhaling his scent, trying to mark him so I could cherish this tangible experience before it was taken from me. He was real. He was really here. “I was so scared,” I whispered. “I know baby,” he said regretfully. “I’m sorry. I planned to come, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to make it. I didn’t want to disappoint you until I was a hundred percent sure I’d be here.” I nodded, breaking the hug to look at him again. I hadn’t seen him in over a year and god he had changed. He looked more…manly. I couldn’t explain it. Look
