Starco Between Friends Novels & Stories

Niko and Mason trade a look before nodding too. The pact is made. What happened tonight is our secret. Our burden. And all I can hope is that one day, it doesn't eat us alive... and our brotherhood stays unbreakable.

I stepped forward and placed the card on the table. I made a mistake by glancing at Poseidon. And just as I had thought, he was seething. "I will keep this one though." I tried to smile and held up the Black Dread. Romeo and Elon both had hard looks on their faces, "Well, I don't know about the others but I am going to miss your coffee." He said with a straight face. I choked on a sob before laughing, turning to face around. I couldn't cry, I just couldn't.

He said, bluntly, then turned his stare away from her face. "So, Logan huh?" Becky too knew it wasn't working out. "Fuck!" She lowered her head and whispered under her breath as she got no reply from him. But he heard her. "Fuck?" He asked with bright eyes—they were definitely blue. "Oh, nothing. It's just," she said, then bursted out like the parrot that she was. "I'm like here on my own even though it's my birthday, because my stupid friend couldn't make it—she had a date at Paris with her new boo—and I was just hoping I could have at least some fun--"

“I mean a two hour or so wait and then on top of that over a hundred dollars to drop you off and bring you back in the morning. Save the money so you can fix your car tomorrow. Call it a friend helping out a friend.” “When you put it that way.” He said as he looked at her. “You know I think that I like this. No expectations of anything but a good night.” “Isn’t that what friends do?” she asked. “Honey, I want you to know that I do hope that we can remain friends for a long time, but I would like to see if this could be something else as well.” He said, and as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he knew he might have ended any hope of that happening.

This smile comforted nobody in the room, but the dice had already been cast, "Then we will accept your proposal." Verra stood to her feet in excitement, outstretched both her hands and declared boldly, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Falling Stardust Trading Company."

♤Adrian♤ I looked around the room. Where was Astrid? I was sure I’d seen her with Joan just a few minutes ago. Now, Joan was all over a brunette, and Astrid was nowhere to be found. I'd walked across the room, met Aaron, and handed over the gifts we’d brought him. Our relationship didn’t thrive on communication, but he’d told me he was glad we’d made it and thanked me for the gifts. So yeah, maybe Astrid was right. He was my friend, but our friendship was different from others.

The one with his hair dyed red held out his hand to me for a handshake. "Scarlett." I took his hand briefly. "Hi! Felix is the name. And permit me to say, but you look gorgeous in person." His blue eyes brightened as he held out his hand for a handshake, which I took but quickly retracted. "I'm JoJo. It's nice to meet you." "Lucas is the name. I've heard so many amazing things about you, and I'm glad we finally met." After I exchanged pleasantries with his friends, I excused myself, intending to leave, but Alexa came with her annoying self again to stop me.

Tamera introduced them. "Nice to meet you." Paige and Brady both said. "Same here." Michael repeated. "Glad to finally meet you." Sheila said. "And this is Dax, my boyfriend." Tamera blushed and said awkwardly. "You look familiar. How do I know you?" Paige asked. "He plays on that TV series mom always watches." Brady responded. "Right! Omg mom! I need to know all about it!" Paige excitedly said. "Spare us." Brady laughed.

With that, I looped my arm around Gerald's waist and Trevor halted his steps instantly. Surprise flared in Gerald's eyes as I placed my legs between his thighs and leaned against him, silently willing him to go out for a long pass. "Now that it has gotten to this point, I don't have to hide the fact that I'm also sleeping with my best friend. Now, let's get the rejection over and done with!" Claudia let out a peal of unhinged laughter. "You're sleeping with your janitor best friend? How low can you stoop, Beth?"

She groans in my ear, making me almost giggle. Victor looks up, a faint smile flashing in his beautiful eyes. "You're here." His words are general, but because of his deep, seductive voice, I feel unusually pleasant. "Yes," I breathe out. "Hi! I'm Stella, Trix's best friend! You must be Victor!" Stella chimes in. "Now I know why she praises you so much! You're worth it!" "....." I gasp and glare at her. She does not bother and continues, "Just find me if you ever want to know her secrets; I know all of them!"
