Stephen Friend Novels & Stories

But the good-looking man was already approaching me. "Hello, Luna Josephine, my name is Stephen. It's very lovely to meet you," he said, and he extended his hand, and I shook it. "Nice to meet you, too, Stephen. Call me Josie." "I understand now why the king looks like he wants to murder anyone who speaks to you. You are very beautiful," he said, and I giggled softly, murmuring a thank you. "I'm your husband's childhood friend, more like a brother. I know everyone will say Jalen, but I'm his number one," he said, and I smiled, nodding firmly.

Pathetic, right? He was pulling his black sweatpants back on, the ones that hung low on his hips, showing the sharp V-line and the edge of that tattoo that hid below his waistband. Twenty-two years old, three years older than me, and built like he spent half his life in the gym or behind the wheel of those illegal street cars he raced. He was my step brother… and my dirty little secret. “Fuck, that was close,” Liam muttered, running a hand through his messy dark hair. His gray eyes flicked toward the door like he expected his dad to bust in any second. “William was still up when I snuck out. Had to wait forever.”

Well, who would believe at first glance that it was my step-dad I was interested in? "I want to know more about you. Where did you go to school?" He had conversations like Justin, wanting to know my story. If I had people like that all my life, I probably would have been better. "There's nothing much to say," I responded. "I have all the time in the world to know right? But I just want some brief info so when you mention someone, I do not get lost" he said. "There's no one to mention. I have no friends."

It was one of the things Astra appreciated about her friend. “Long story, babe,” Astra said as she sat down. Steph called the waiter and they ordered their normal potatoes and steak. “Well you have to start telling the damned story,” Steph said, and Astra rolled her eyes. Stephanie was one of the oldest friends she had, they were friends back from college. Stephanie knew almost everything about Astra. “You know I got assigned to Nicholas’ case right?” Astra asked, and a frown appeared on Steph’s face, but her friend nodded.

he was curious about the gentleman and he was still winking at him. "Why, who are you?" he asked which worried the young man. "I mean- are you the person I considered my best friend before or the man who broke my trust? who are you there?" after saying this, Robin suddenly bowed and just grinned. Stephen just smiled as he drank from the soft drinks he was holding. "How are you and what are you doing here today?" he said to him while patting him on the shoulder. "Welcome back, Stephen." He said and he was emotionally hugged by his best friend.

Luke greets them as they reach their destination. They all stop their conversation and look at them. They grin on sighting Luke and they proceed to do their bro hug and greetings. "So who's the chick?" A guy asks Luke as he motions his head to Steph. "I want you all to meet Stephanie," Luke tells them. "Your new girlfriend?" Another guy asks with a smirk. "No." Luke narrows his eyes at him. "She's a very good friend of mine. Be nice." He turns to Steph. "These are my friends. They're all on the football team and they're all assholes."

Stephen was being chit-chatted with. "Yes, I am. May I know how you knew me?" he said, as Marie and Gwenn were merely listening in. "Who would not know the tycoon businessman?" Stephen reminisces. "But that was long ago, I couldn’t know that someone might still notice me," he was laughing as he shifted his gaze to his wife. "Yes, it is! But my best friend has kept on talking about you since then, and if I remember correctly, he even has a photo of you and another woman. "That looks like a family picture," he said, his voice trembling as if he couldn't believe what he was saying.

I groan inwardly, realizing how bad the timing is. “Yes, of course, please come in,” Steph says with a broad smile. “My name is Steph. I’m her best friend. If you need any information or help regarding how to woo this lovely but stubborn woman, I’m your girl. I like you for her, and I think you’d be very lucky to have her. You know, I like the red M&Ms, and even though she eats them at home, she saves the red ones and brings them to school for me. Now tell me this woman isn’t marriage material.” She rambles on, and Cole raises his eyebrows, clearly amused.
