Semua Bab My Best Friend’s Brother Is My Sneaky Link : Bab 81 - Bab 87

Camille: Looking up at the two siblings, their faces were exactly the way I imagined each would be in reaction to my news. Daniel was biting back a triumphant smirk, while Lucia looked like she had swallowed a poisoned apple. Her arms were crossed over the other with her body half-turned to me, a sign she hadn’t been expecting any words to come out of my mouth, so she couldn’t even be bothered to give me complete attention, only for my news to make her freeze. Now I had brought everything out in the open, my confidence level skyrocketed. What had I even been so afraid of? I mean sure, my best friend hated me now, but when it came to who to please, I had to choose myself. Lucia’s hung open mouth finally closed and she turned to face me fully. Her steely gaze was speckled with something else I couldn’t place. Sure I had caught her off guard with my controversial outburst, but there seemed to be a pleading look behind her eyes. Or maybe I was just imagining what I wanted to s

Camille: I had won, so why did I have such a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach? After Lucia left, I remained standing next to a silent Daniel, my eyes still glued to the door and my mind replaying her last words over and over again. His hand that was clasped around mine now felt too clammy and cold for some reason. I had won, yet I felt a hovering shame over me. Right then, I wished Daniel would start to chuckle and maybe tell me how he was sure his sister had lost it. I wished he would say something that would assuage this damning feeling I felt within me. It was soaking up all the courage I had and I didn’t like that one bit. “What was she talking about?” I asked Daniel as I stylishly pulled my hand away from his. He didn’t let me pull back my hand. “Cam, look at me…” he started to say, using his other hand to push my chin away from the door and toward him. I shook my head. If he had something concrete to say, it didn’t matter if I was loo

Camille: I frowned and shook my head, deciding not to let such uneventful thoughts consume me. When we got to that bridge, we’d cross it. I decided to go grocery shopping just so I could get some foodstuffs to prepare my mom a fresh meal. I was sure she’d missed my cooking. Before long, we were home and with the way my mom was smiling even when she was on her own, I suspected she was already planning our wedding in her head. It was a funny sight, but I didn’t say anything to mock or interrupt her. I enjoyed seeing my mom happy. The door was locked when we got to the apartment. My heart sank when I realized Lucia had simply left because she knew my mom was coming. I couldn’t blame her. Not everyone could keep up appearances. But it hurt nonetheless. At least on the bright side, I wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells on my mom’s first day here. Nothing flew past her, and I wasn’t ready to answer uncomfortable questions yet. Daniel took my mom’s luggage into his room that h
