All Chapters of When Best Friends Kiss: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

(RORY'S POV) I was still half asleep when my phone buzzed on the nightstand. BESTIE: I'm outside. Come down when you're ready. Please bring your locker key. Take your time. I blinked at the screen. 6:15 AM. He was here. Already. I didn't take my time. I threw on jeans and a hoodie, brushed my teeth in about thirty seconds, and was trying to hurry out when Nana stopped me by the stairs. She eyed me with concern. "Is everything okay, Aurora?" "Good morning, Nana." I greeted with a guilty smile. "Good morning, mija." "I need to get something from Todd and he is right outside. He is on his way for morning practice and so he came by." I said and added softly. "Please can I go?" Nana smiled and nodded. "Of course, my love." She said with a warm smile. "Just be safe." I kissed her on her cheek and then hurried out to the curb. I slipped into the passenger seat and the first thing I noticed was his face. Tired. Strained. Like he hadn't slept. "Hey," I said softly. He tr

(RORY'S POV) From Your Soulmate; My Sweetheart, I am so happy that you are back in school today. You see, when I realized that I would get to walk the same halls as you once again, that I would breathe the same air as you once again, my day became even better. I am certain now I can write and you will receive it. I missed knowing you read them. Knowing you thought about me and wondered who I was. Knowing I took a part of your day. It’s good to have you back. Don’t ever leave me, baby. I sighed deeply wishing it would calm my trembling hands as I looked up at Todd. "I can't believe it." Todd said angrily. He continued pacing about, grunting to himself angrily as he did. We were not supposed to be anywhere near each other in public but when Todd received the message of the folded note I had sent to him, he insisted on coming to find me. Which was not very private, so I went to see him instead. In his private locker room. I was seated on the chair now, my han

(RORY'S POV) I stared at my phone like it might bite me. Todd's hand found my lower back. "It's okay. Go on and answer it, baby." I nodded and pressed the button, pushing away any form of panic that was eating me up. "Hello?" My voice came out smaller than I wanted. "Rory! Hi, sweetheart." Tia's voice was warm, and that was good for my nerves. In fact, I could hear excitement in her voice. Or maybe just energy. "I hope I'm not calling too late." "No, no. It's perfect timing actually." I looked up at Todd. "Todd's here too. I'm going to put you on speaker, okay?" "Even better." I pressed the speaker button and held the phone between us. Todd pulled me closer so we could both hear. "Hi, Tia." He said. "Todd! So good to hear your voice. I wish we were meeting under better circumstances, but here we are." There was a pause, like she was gathering her thoughts. "I've been going through the contract. All day, actually. And I wanted to share what I found so far." My heart started b

(RORY'S POV) When Jason was gone, Todd was already walking toward me. His face was still tight, but his eyes were softer now. "Are you alright?" He asked me first as his hand brushed over my hair gently. "Yes, Todd." I assured him giving his hands kisses. "I'm alright, thank you." Todd's eyes searched my face like he was trying to find out if I was saying the truth or not. He finally nodded and then folded his arms. "What did he want?" He asked. "To check if I was okay." I said. "He said he noticed I wasn't in school." Todd's jaw tightened. "All these guys who are paying so much attention to you. Is that really why he came here?" I shrugged with a lazy smile. "That's what he said." Todd snorted. "He could have texted." "He wanted to come in person I guess." I shrugged. "It's fine, Todd. He left." "I don't know if it's okay. You need to be very firm with your boundaries, Rory." He said in a tone that was not stern but was not friendly either. "I will be." I assured him going

(RORY’S POV) “Then please don’t stop.” I challenged, my voice breathy and sharp. I tilted my head back, exposing my neck to him, my fingers digging into his shoulders. "I don’t want you to stop. I want you to stay. Right here. With me." Todd’s beautiful blue eyes had turned dark with desire now and with a deep grunt, he held me against him. “I don’t want to stop either baby.” He said and he moved us toward the bed, the mattress dipping under our combined weight. The room was cool, but where our skin met, it was searing. I reached for the hem of my shirt, pulling it over my head in one fluid motion. I didn't wait for him to ask. Todd’s eyes darkened as he looked at me, a mixture of desire and pure, unadulterated love. His touch was familiar, but tonight it felt different. It felt more urgent just like mine. He traced the curve of my ribs, the dip of my waist, as if he were memorizing a map he’d traveled a thousand time. I took the lead again, rolling him onto his back so I co
