Semua Bab Dirty Cravings; Big Bad Brother: Bab 41 - Bab 50

~~Indigo~~Anger didn't even begin to cover what I felt. There were a lot of things that I wanted to do to Slade right now and none of them were going to look pretty.Braxton seemed just as anxious as we sat in his car, his grip on the steering tight as he looked straight ahead, his jaw tight.He had been deathly silent since we had gotten that call and I thought about trying to comfort him but I knew that it wouldn't help anything.This was his marriage at risk. For some reason, it unsettled me. How it bothered him. I couldn't read his expression so I just looked away again, staring at the city as it blurred past, lights and people alike.Finally, the car swerved to a stop in front of the house and i didn't want for anythingㅡi stepped out, storming into the house while my heels clicked against the pavement.The door in Slade's apartment was still switched on. Which meant he was home. That little piece of shit. I swung the door open, ready to throw a few fists at him but the sight I s

~~Braxton~~The ride home was quiet. A bit too quiet. It felt like whatever had happened at the club still weighed down heavily on us.My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I swerved to the right, my gaze fixed forward.“Watch where you’re going,” Bianca muttered from the passenger seat where she sat.Irritation burned in my chest. “I am.”She let out a laugh that was nothing short of humorless. “Right? You seem to be losing your control daily.”That made my stomach churn. “You’re so dramatic, Bianca.”She barked out a laugh that bounced off the walls of the car, but it didn’t sound amused. It felt like she was masking her pain and anger behind that laugh. “What do you want me to say, Braxton? You just started a scene in a club.”I clenched my jaw, my eyes fixed on the road. “He had his hands all over her, Bianca. You expect me to sit there and do nothing?”The silence barely lasted a full minute before she was spinning around in her seat to face me, her face twisted into one of

~~Indigo~~I stood in front of the mirror, turning from side to side as Slade sat on the couch opposite me, his phone in hand and a bored look on his face.“What about this one?” I turned to look at him hopefully, the silver dress fitting perfectly on my curves, glinting off the low light.His expression didn't change. Just as bored as ever. “You look like a fucking disco ball.”Ouch.I huffed. “Wow. Thanks for the confidence boost. That's exactly why you're here, Slade. You've been a good help.” Sarcasm dripped off my words.He shrugged, leaning back as he gave me a slow and lazy once over. “Just saying. It's not my favorite.”I rolled my eyes and went back inside to try another dress. Dress after dressㅡ it was either too tight, showed too much cleavage, didn't announce my presence well enough, too pinkㅡ and I was already about to tear my fucking hair off in frustration when I slipped into a burgundy red gown that complimented my body.When I stepped out of the dressing room, I didn'

~~Indigo~~The night's air was stillㅡ that kind of unsettling silence that settled in your bones and never really left.Sleep seemed like a dream. Far and fleeting from my touch.I tossed and turned in bed, my thoughts racing. None of it made any sense. That was the start of our friendship. How could Braxton just forget it like it meant nothing?How would he forget when Slade knew?I groaned, throwing the sheets off my body before swinging my legs down, my feet bare against the marble floor. I didn't know what exactly was happening but I didn't need a brain to know that something was offㅡ something very important.My gaze drifted to my bedside table, my eyes fixed on my phone that lay there. Should I call him? I needed to know.Before I could change my mind, I reached forward and grabbed it, my fingers trembling as I dialled Braxton's number.The phone rang. Once. Twice. I almost thought he was asleep and wouldn't see my call. At least, that would save me the stress of having to addre

~~Indigo~~It took me no time to cross the room, my every step fueled by anger. I immediately reached out and pulled a blonde girl off him, my eyes blazing.“Stay away,” I snapped at her.She looked startled and so did everyone. Including Slade who straightened up, his fingers tightening around his glass of alcohol.“Indie?” He looked surprised, his brows knitting together.A brunette who was too close for comfort to him, looked me over, her lips curling into a frown. “Who are you?”That made me pause, my cheeks heating up. Oh, I'm the neighbour who was his friends with benefits but cut off all ties with him? Yeah no.“You're all literally just grinding up against him in a club,” I huffed instead, refusing to let the embarrassment take over. “You should learn to keep some things private.”The grin on Slade's face heightened and he leaned back against the wall, drinking a bit of alcohol again. “You jealous, princess?”My brain short circuited and I just stared at him for a second befor
