Our Forbidden Obsession: Craving my Bestfriend's Brother 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

AVA“I am so sorry the place is a complete disaster,” Riley said, groaning loudly as I followed her through the front door of her house.I stepped inside and immediately stopped, my eyes widening. The living room looked like a hurricane had hit it. Red plastic cups were littered everywhere, empty pizza boxes were tossed on the carpet, and the faint smell of stale alcohol hung heavily in the air.“I explicitly told that dickhead that I was having my friends over for a very important meeting today,” Riley continued, her voice dripping with pure anger. “And he still left the place looking like a landfill.”She was talking about her older brother, Miles.“Oh. Well, no wonder,” I said, letting out a soft chuckle to break the tension. I bent down and picked up a crushed pizza box from the floor, trying to be helpful. “When did he even get back from his trip?”“Tuesday. And honestly? I want him gone already,” Riley snapped, tossing her hands in the air.“Hey, you should relax a little,” I sa

AVA“Harper.”Miles’s voice sounded right behind me, scaring me half to death. I gasped, dropping my hands to the counter.He had a fresh t-shirt on now, his hair still damp. An amused look danced in his eyes. “It is just the two of us in the house, dork. Why are you getting all scared?” he asked, stepping closer to me.“What do you want, Miles?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly.He stopped a few feet away from me, rubbing the back of his neck. The arrogant smirk was gone. “Look… I’m sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have snapped and sent you out of my room in that manner,” he said softly.I froze, taken aback. Miles Thompson never apologized to anyone. Especially not to me. I narrowed my eyes, looking at him with deep suspicion.“What do you actually want, Miles?” I asked again, folding my arms tightly across my chest.“I don't want anything, dor—Ava,” he said, correcting himself. He stepped closer, and that familiar, playful mask slid right back over his face. He smirked down at

AVA“I literally have the absolute worst news in the world,” Riley groaned a few days later, floating on her back as we swam in her parents' backyard pool.I stopped paddling and wiped the water from my eyes. “What’s wrong? What happened?”“My brother is coming along on the trip,” she said, letting out a dramatic whine.I almost laughed out loud at the pure misery in her voice. “Well, Riles, your parents are his parents too. He kind of belongs in the family photo.”“Unfortunately,” she muttered, splashing the water with her hand. “But he told mum and dad last week that he wasn't going to come. I have absolutely no idea why he suddenly changed his stubborn mind.”“He probably just wants to go over there and have a taste of gorgeous Greece girls,” I joked, shaking my head. “You can't really blame him. It’s a paradise for guy like him.”“Really, Harper?”The deep, mocking voice cut through the air, making me freeze instantly. My heart did a violent, heavy thud against my ribs.“What the

AVAThe flight to Greece felt like it lasted for an entire century. By the time the massive airplane finally touched down on the tarmac, my legs felt like jelly, and my neck was completely stiff from trying to sleep in a cramped window seat.Riley and I walked through the airport in a total daze, dragging our matching pink suitcases behind us. Right in front of us, her parents walked hand-in-hand, looking perfectly energized and completely in love. Trailing far behind the rest of the group was Miles. He had his hands shoved deep into his pockets, a black duffel bag slung carelessly over one broad shoulder, and dark sunglasses hiding his eyes. He hadn't said a single word to me during the entire journey, and I had done my absolute best to pretend he didn't exist.But the moment our private shuttle van pulled up to the resort, all of my exhaustion vanished into thin air.“Oh my goodness, Riles, look at this place,” I whispered, pressing my face against the glass window of the van.The h

AVA“Neriah!” Aunt Mabel waved back happily, standing up from the table.I didn't want to turn around and look back just yet. Miles and Riley were still seated completely still, so I didn't want to look like I was doing way too much or being overly nosy.But just as I looked up from my phone, a girl with long, sleek black hair was already walking up and taking a seat across from us. She had striking brown eyes, and her skin looked so flawless it was obvious she spent a literal fortune on high-end skincare. She locked eyes with me, and we continued staring at each other for a long, awkward second. She was probably judging my red floral dress in her head, and I was definitely judging her right back.Another girl walked up to the table next. She looked a bit younger than the first girl, but she looked like she was around Riley and my age. She had thick, black wavy hair and a pointier nose. She stopped and stared directly at me in complete confusion, her eyebrows knitting together as if s
