Nick POVI see her there, smelling my pillow, and I smile. She hasn't seen me, so I take advantage of it. I walk gently towards her, and once I reach her, I wrap my hands around her waist. I can sense her body tensing up as she tries to catch her breath, and her heart rate quickens."What am I going to do with you, Riah?" I lean up close and murmur into her ears.When asked, she sighs. "Nick, what the hell did I do?"She spins around, and I pull her close to me. When I saw Logan kissing you, it was like a knife to my heart."Nick, he's my boyfriend, so kissing me is totally normal." She responds.What I mean is, "I don't like it; I should be the only one allowed to kiss these lips." I stroked her bottom lip with my finger.Nick, listen to me: "We can't keep doing this; it's not right. She states."Why, give me a reason, and it better be a good one." I say it sharply.What better reason could there be than to hurt people like my brother and your sister? "How do you think they'll react
Nick POVI sit in the driver's seat and begin driving. Seeing her cry breaks my heart. I place my hand on her thigh and draw circles on it."You know she'll come around, babe. Just give her some time to calm down." I say."I don't know Nick; she feels betrayed, and I don't think she is going to get over it anytime soon." She says she is crying."Maybe not right away, Riah, but she will eventually; she loves you too much to be mad at you too long." I sigh."That's what people will wonder: what was so important for best friends who had never fought before to have their first conflict?" She starts to panic and wonders, "What if they ask her questions and she feels pressured and tells someone that Josh is going to kill us?""Hey, look at me." I take her chin and say, "Everything is going to be fine, okay?" "How about you take a nap while I go get some food?" I said it lightly."I'm not really hungry," she says."Well, too bad you're going to eat," I respond firmly.She sighs but says noth
Mariah POVI woke up with a massive headache, but even that couldn’t ruin my mood. Rose's message was the first thing I saw when I woke up, so I called her right away. She asked me to meet her at the café next to my house. I wasted no time at all. I took a quick shower and dressed as quickly as I could. I left as soon as I finished, and when I arrived, she was already there. As I walked up to her, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. After reaching the table, I took a seat."Hello," I said hesitantly."Hi," she replied."Im sorry." We said it in unison."Please let me go first." I tell her."OK," she nods."I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I was confused and fighting my emotions for a while." "I kept pushing your brother away because I knew our relationship would cause problems and upset people," I sigh. "But then I started falling for him, and it became increasingly difficult to push him away until I decided to just go with the flow. "I know he'll find his mate soon, a
Nick POVI’m texting Rose, thanking her for fixing things with Mariah, when I sense her walking in. I'm just about to finish my text when I hear her speak. "Is the phone more important than me?" She asks sarcastically. When I look up at her, I completely forget about the text. I get up and walk towards her; she raises an eyebrow.“I thought you were on your phone." She asks.“I was, but when you look this good, the phone and anything else can wait.” I reply."It's okay; you can go back to your phone. I'm just going to go lay down for a bit.” She says it teasingly.She starts walking towards the bed, sexily swaying her hips; her ass looks delicious in that red lacy thong. When she throws herself forward on the bed, her ass cheeks jiggle, and I bite back a groan. She grabs the pillow and pretends to sleep, but the moment she pokes her ass up, I know she's just trying to mess with me, so I decide to mess with her back. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea; we should take a little nap.” I
Mariah POVI wake up close to Nick, and the last thing I remember him saying is, "I love you." I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me wants to believe him and give in to our feelings, but another part of me is afraid that he will discover his mate and instantly fall in love with her, and then I will get hurt. I peel his hands away from me and go to the bathroom. I enter the bath, fill it, and lay down. I'm getting a headache from having so many thoughts running through my mind. Will I reject my fated mate for him? Will I ever meet my fated mate? What if he's my fated mate? I sigh and close my eyes. So, I guess I'll have to wait another two months to find out; I guess I'll just have to go with the flow till then.I'd been in the bath for about thi
Mariah POVIt’s been three weeks since Mila saw us together in Nick’s hotel room, but things have been quiet—too quiet for my liking. I have a feeling she is plotting something, especially the way she looks at me and gives me those little smirks. I have a bad feeling, but Nick assures me she wouldn’t dare say anything; she knows what’s good for her, so I try to push it out of my mind and calm down.My 18thbirthday is in two weeks. Rose, Nancy, and I are going to the mall to get our outfits for my party. We go from store to store looking for our dresses, accessories, shoes, and matching lingerie sets. We are all looking for either red or black dresses since I’m having a red and black party. I made sure my mom put in the invitation the dress cod
Nick POVI arrive at the food court. I go to the table where my friends are sitting, and I take the seat next to Logan, bitch ass. He turns to look at me, then stands up and snaps.“Why the fuck do you smell like Mariah?" Logan growls.“You better watch your fucking mouth.” I growl.“Or what? What are you going to do, Nick?" Logan snaps."Logan, calm down. I’m sure my brother has a perfectly good explanation for it.” Rose says."Yeah, Logan,
Mariah POV“Josh, no, please.” I plead.“I don’t want to hear it, Mariah; you should have known these were going to be the consequences of sleeping with my best friend.” Josh growls.“Don’t take it out on her, Josh; your anger is towards me; so take it out on me. Hit me all you want; I know I deserve it for going behind your back instead of talking to you.” Nick says calmly.Josh hovers over Nick and starts punching him a few times. Nick is just lying there, taking in all the hits, his face looking all bloody. I let out a scream and tried to push Josh off Nick, even though I’m pissed off with him; that doesn’t mean I want him to get his ass whooped. I’m trying my best to pull Josh off Nick, but suddenly he pushes me back, and when I fall, my head hits something hard. I hear my brother curse.“Fuck Mariah.” Josh says worriedly.“What the fuck did you do?" Nick growls; it’s the last thing I hear before everything goes dark.I wake up with the sunshine rays in my face, and it takes a min
