All Chapters of Wait, I'm My Crush's Crush?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

One quiet afternoon, I was sprawled on the couch, mindlessly channel surfing, when a ridiculously handsome face suddenly filled the screen.The guy on TV had just won the national ice hockey championship. Under the spotlight, buried in flowers and applause, his smile was especially dazzling, like the warm sun in midsummer.A reporter held a mic up to him and asked about the game. He smiled and said, "Winning this championship was completely within my expectations. I believe in my talent and my strength, and I hope I can achieve even better results on the ice in the future."The camera panned over the stands. A sea of fangirls held banners and signs showing support, screaming at the top of their lungs. A few crazed fans even shouted that they wanted to marry him.Sitting in front of the TV, I let out a cold snort and shifted my gaze to the balcony. My childhood friend, Flynn Carter, was doing laundry shirtless, his muscles sharply defined.No one could've imagined that the aloof, u

Savannah lifted her head, her expression twisted with malice. "Juliette Gadberry likes you, too. So why are you still so close to her?"Her voice shot up several octaves, making it sharp and shrill. The people in the stands around us all turned to stare, their eyes homing in on us like spotlights.But Savannah didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest. She wanted everyone, especially Flynn, to know that the friend he trusted most had the same disgusting thoughts about him that every other woman had.I didn't try to argue because everything she said was true. I lowered my head, too scared to look at Flynn. I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to handle it if I saw disgust on his face.Flynn was taken aback for only a few seconds, but that silence felt excruciatingly long to me. I felt like a criminal quietly waiting for the final verdict."Well, it's not one-sided. I like her, too."My eyes flew wide open. I jerked my head up and stared at Flynn in disbelief. The dark, stormy lo

Flynn kissed me until my knees went weak and buckled. When I lost all strength and collapsed, he caught me by the waist, pulling me up and deepening this burning kiss.His other hand slipped under my shirt, roaming back and forth over my skin. Maybe it was hormones messing with my brain, but I didn't resist him at all. I just silently let myself sink into it.I felt something big and hard pressing against my lower abdomen through our clothes. The second I realized where this was heading, my mind snapped back into focus. My rational side woke up again, and I pushed him away at once.My face was burning crimson as I gasped for air. I knew that once we crossed that line, whatever we had would fall apart fast, and there would be no going back."Juliette?"Flynn reached out tentatively, trying to steady me, but I dodged him.My reaction clearly stung him. The look in his eyes was tinged with hurt."Nothing happened tonight. Let's just pretend it was all a dream."I threw those words

Flynn took a deep breath, his gaze locking onto me with an almost predatory intensity. "Do you really not know why? It's because I like you. Why else would I drop hockey and come running to you without a second thought?"I stared at him in disbelief and asked again, uncertain, "When you say you like me, do you mean as a friend, or…""I mean that I like you as a man. I want to be your boyfriend, and I want to have a future with you. I want to kiss you, hold you, and do everything intimate there is to do with you." Flynn looked straight at me. "Do you still not get it after I've spelled things out like that?"I started to wonder if I really was drunk. Why else would he be saying something like this to me when he'd always hated any kind of physical intimacy with the opposite sex?"But you said before that you hated having any physical relationship with anyone.""That only applies to other people, not you," he said. "I've had those desires for you for a long time now. I just never dar
