On Our Best Behavior Novels & Stories

I stomped my feet as I saw my phone light up as it actually charged this time. No wonder I overslept. I stayed up late texting Kiara as per the advice of my wonderful aunt. We made up and we updated each other on everything that happened while we were apart. I ended up sleeping a little too peacefully. Whenever Kiki and I make up after a fight or talk to each other after a while of not seeing each other, I always slept best. This was something that has happened since we had our first fight. I can still remember our fight. "ZACK! I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND IF YOU DON'T GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Responsibilities don't just disappear because you're "in love." After I embarrassed Hailey in front of Wendy, she went full suck-up mode with Claudia. The second Claudia got home, Hailey practically glued herself to her, offering a back massage like her life depended on it. "Claudia," she chirped, all fake sweetness, "I talked to my parents. They're coming over Sunday to discuss the wedding and the bride token." Classic Hailey, trying to back Claudia into a corner with zero warning. But Claudia didn't even flinch. She just kept watching TV like Hailey wasn't even there.

We are not normal to that extent. - I'm just trying not to be a jerk ok?! - I shrugged - I'm trying to be nice. - Really? - she laughed debauchedly - Kindness and you are not a good combination. And oh, you don't have to be my little friend, tomorrow I'll defend you. Good night!

When he slid the ring onto my finger, my heart did not race the way I imagined it would. Instead, there was only a deep, steady calm, like everything finally fell into place. What I felt was a new kind of bond, one tied not just by emotion, but by power, security, and control. And it was not unpleasant. It was far more real than the fake tenderness I once chased. Charles's deep, resonant voice echoed through the hall, "Thank you all for coming to witness the marriage between me and my new wife, Whitney Sheridan!" However, a sudden commotion erupted, disrupting the peaceful and celebratory atmosphere in the room.

" A look of panic flashed across Nathan's face. After all, he had never seen such an impassive expression on my face. For all those years, I had been gentle and considerate. I had always given unconditionally. There was a tinge of panic in his eyes. "Liv, I—" His friends laughed and interrupted him, and he changed his tone at once. "Fine. I'll be sure to work hard. I hope you find someone you love soon, too, so that you don't continue to badger me fruitlessly." I smiled and said, "You'd better hurry back, or your girlfriend might get annoyed."

His strong arm encircled my waist while holding my hand securely, sensing my nervousness. "Relax, baby girl," he whispered tenderly into my ear. "Ryder, we haven't even practiced our couple's dance. How are we going to make it perfect?" I fretted, feeling the pressure of the moment. To ease my nerves, his fingers traced down my spine in a soothing caress, and I responded by wrapping my free hand around his neck. "We don't need perfection. Just being here with you is perfect. Our dance together is perfect because it's us," he reassured me, his eyes casting an enchanting spell that made me melt into his arms. Following his lead, we swayed gracefully to the soft rhythm of the music.

Dos followed behind and sat beside me. He clapped his hands and the doors closed. The whole place darkened and the big screen opened. The movie started. The same movie indicated on the tickets I bought. I sneaked a look at him but Dos caught me staring. He suits himself, feeling a bit concerned about his looks. Yeah, he wanted to always look good in front of others. That’s his personality everyone is aware of. The same with me. “Popcorn?” He offered. “Thanks!” I happily reached out for popcorn and shoved it into my mouth.

I believe that a serious commitment should be made as soon as possible in a romantic partnership. We are currently in school because Lorilyn and I are still working toward obtaining a good moral certificate, which will be required for the college enrollment page. However, these three boys did nothing more than accompany us to school. They claim that they have nothing to do in their homes. And with that, the five of us left the restaurant and drove straight to our homes. In addition to this, the four of them are adamant that they assist in the preparation of the food that will be served at my debut.

Change your entire personality. “Say no more,” the man says and throws his arm out in a grand gesture. “If the boss wants to survey the outlets, feel free to do so. Oh, would you like me to accompany you, or would you like to do it discreetly? When our previous owner used to come for an inspection, he would have us send out a message in advance, just to make sure everyone was on their best behaviour.” Best behaviour, my ass. I’m in a bad mood. I have a desperate need to be unreasonable. Possibly expensive.

Peter replied calmly. “So... most probably the first time.” Then he looked around the room like a worried father. “Everyone, be on your best behavior.” “But please don’t act awkward,” Jack had added. Ben frowned. “How am I even supposed to be on my best behavior without acting awkward?” “How about keeping your mouth shut a bit for a start?” Becky asked. Ben frowned again. That was two days ago. However, today, despite Jack’s and Peter’s continuous reminders, everyone was acting perfectly awkward.
