All Chapters of I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

KAIDA’S POV It has been almost a week since the accident at the bar where I worked. The thought of returning to the same place, which could bring haunted and terrorizing memories, shook me deep in my bones. Ember had informed me when I woke up at the hospital that Manuel had been arrested and put in jail with the help of Maverick, yet, I couldn’t shake off the feeling as I marched towards the bar. My shift had begun and since it would be my last day at the bar before I resigned, I had to come. I couldn’t just send my resignation later without coming to the bar myself, even though I dreaded the thought of it. “Let’s get it done, Kaida.” I assured myself. But, tell me why I haven’t gone into the bar despite it having been over five minutes since I got there? It was harder than I thought it would. “Is it still hard for you?” Moses asked from behind and my lips stretched into a smile as I turned to look at him. “Hey.” “I’ve been watching for over five minutes. You a

MAVERICK’S POV It was finally the day of the game. The game between the Phoenix Hockey team and Devils Hockey team. Most captains from other teams who have a game the same day as we did, might be warming up as early as 5am and also talk to the team members who might be nervous, but I did none of that. I wasn’t nervous and for my team members, I already gave them the necessary information about the other team some days before the game. So among all other things in my mind at that moment, Kaida topped it all. Her reply from the previous day had me mulling over it for hours. ‘Watch me, Jensen.’ She was hell-bent on wearing the Devils Jersey to the game and the only thought crossing my mind was to win against the Devils and rip the Jersey off her, right in the arena. I had been watching her from the sidelines for five fucking years while she date Liam and one other brunette from high school. Though, I threatened to break his legs if he didn’t break up with Kaida, which of course he

MAVERICK’S POV A triumphant smile dominated my lips as I reached for her earlobes. “Good.” Kaida stared at me absentmindedly as if shunning the world out, leaving just me and her. The look she threw my way had me thinking if her rules of no dating of jocks still stand. Kaida had no idea what was coming for her and as a gentleman that I was, I had warned her beforehand, as it wouldn’t be all sweet and rosy. Maverick Jensen doesn’t do love and I bet she knew that much. After few seconds, it seemed her senses came flying back into her head because her eyes widened and she took a step backwards. Out of my reach. Out of my fucking domain. My right hand caressing her earlobe hung in the air once she was out of reach, while my left hand held the hockey stick tight. It took sheer willpower not to take two steps closer and engulf her in my hands. Kaida Reyes would fucking fit in my hands as if she was made for me. She swallowed and cleared her throat, avoiding my gaze as

KAIDA’S POVMaverick’s lips curled into a smirk and his eyes darkened beyond every shade of blue. “That’s not for you to decide, Kai.”I rolled my eyes, taking off the jersey and slapped it against the palm of his hand, while he let out a sadistic chuckle as if he found it amusing, when I didn’t. Not in the least.“When did you change so much? You were never this possessive and controlling.” I asked, wishing he could call it a truce and forget about me and my whole existence.That would really be appreciated on my part.“I’ve always been this way, Little muse. I just didn’t show it.”The urge to smack his mouth at the word ‘Little muse’ made my muscles cramp, but I was able to push down the urge.If I dared smack him in the arena with students and fans walking about, I wouldn’t live down that moment, much less what comes after.I took in a sharp breath, trying to control the anger brewing inside of me. “My name is Kaida Reyes. Enough with the nicknames!” I gritted.Maverick’s eyes fe

KAIDA’S POV“We are finally here!” Ember squeaked happily, like she wasn’t the one who just released a big revelation that was hard for me to take in.“I can’t wait to hook up with a hot hockey dude from another team!” Watching how excited she was made me chuckle and forgot everything about the revelation for a second.We got into the bar which was buzzing with music and students from our college were dancing and drinking among themselves.Ember held my wrist as she led us deeper into the bar until we got to where Connor and his team were seated. “Hi.” I waved at them and Connor’s gaze snapped up at me.He let out a smile. “You came.”I nodded and pointed an accusatory finger at Ember who was already gone from my side. “She forced me.”“I’m glad she did.” He replied as one of his team members shifted a bit for me to sit down.I sat down and motioned for the waitress to come take my order. “This is literally a club, not an after party.”Connor and the rest of his team chuckled at my w
