MY BEST FRIEND ...AND MORE
He is supposed to be my best friend—at least I have been seeing him as one—doing a lot of things with him together. We go to school together, share the same hobbies, and love the same sports. He is my day one, my buddy. Up until after the summer vacation when we started a new life in the same college as freshmen.
That is when I discover that I have developed a soft spot for him, which accounts for the way I missed him during the summer vacation. I have never missed Liam like that. I mean, I do miss him but not compared to last summer. I wanted him around me and his image occupied my mind's eye.
Starting college with a crush on my best friend is not an ideal way to begin the academic year. No matter how I try to suppress it by going on dates and accepting relationship proposals from guys, instead of it going away, it doubles. Worse still, he sees me as his buddy. He has never looked at me the way he looks at other girls. I know I am a bit of a tomboy. My other friends tell me that my dress sense is a bit masculine. I try changing my fashion sense but to no avail. Sadly, all I am to Liam is his day one bestie and buddy.
I do not want to tell him about the feelings I have because I do not want to put our friendship in jeopardy.
I had already given up hope Until the dare at one of my other friend's parties _ Evie. The dare for Liam to kiss me. The kiss opens another chapter; I would never have believed in my entire life to be possible—Liam actually likes me!

Chapter: Chapter Seven _ Besties MomentAUDREYThe new day dawned bright and chilly _ another school day. I tossed from one end of the bed to the other, not ready to get up yet. The night was far spent. It wasn't until 11 pm in the night that I crawled into my bed and slept like a log till dawn. I had joined Lislie in hanging out after Liam left to spend time with his fuck mate.Lislie had called not long after Liam left _ as I was sitting on the chair staring at the night sky _ feeling desolated and sorry for myself. She had invited me to join her where she was having fun with the rest. I decided to pitch up, I mean Liam did so could I.Now, see the full effect. Ugh! I hadn't taken much alcohol but enough to make my brain fizzle out temporarily, leading to a lazy Audrey who couldn't just get out of bed to prepare for school.I cursed under my breath as I dragged myself up, staring at the distorted figure in front of the mirror that was staring back at me. I felt so disintegrated. I rubbed my eyes blearily as my dad steppe

Chapter: Chapter Six _ There Comes A Time...AUDREYThe night was chilly and the sky was starry, but the only star I noticed was the one in front of me. Drowning me in his stares and causing my breath to be caught. I hope this wasn't a dream again, clearly not. But, did Liam just stare at me for 10 seconds straight without blinking? I exhaled inwardly, mustered all the courage I could, and stared back at him. That was when he broke the stares and that look I thought I saw disappeared quickly, or maybe it was my imagination that was making it up.He broke the stare, now focusing his gaze on the starry sky. "It's a nice view here, you know.""Yeah, it is." My mouth was dry and I suddenly became thirsty, after these few seconds of staring. I felt as though my breath had been caught in my chest. I inhaled deeply and exhaled."I'm thirsty, let me go get a glass of water." He nodded, glancing at me briefly."I will be here." Getting to the table where our families occupied, chattering and bickering, I downed an entire glass of water,

Chapter: Chapter Five _ Dinner With The FlynnsAUDREYAfter a few minutes of ringing the doorbell, Dad opened the door with a grin plastered on his face."Welcome, munch." I narrowed my eyebrows at him. I could identify that grin from anywhere. It wasn't ordinary; he surely had something up his sleeve."Spill," I said, stepping into the sitting room, my eyes resting on a silver fancy gift box. Wow!I looked up at him. "You went shopping for me?" I alternated my gaze between him and the box. "Nope, I didn't. Someone had it delivered."I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "Who could it be?" Whoops, I didn't just ask that. How the hell was he supposed to know? His shrugs and reply of "I don't know" lent credence to my stupid question."Maybe you should read the note that is inside the box. It might give a clue of who he is," he added with a wink, which earned him a narrowed gaze as I closed the door behind me. "What made you think it's a he?" I challenged. Although I knew that it was very much possible for it to be a he, I just wan

Chapter: Chapter Four _ Erotic DreamAUDREYHis handsome face hovered over mine, his look, expressing passion and desire. Slowly, he inched closer and kissed my lips. I was shocked at first, but his kiss became more drawing and intoxicating. I threw caution to the wind and wrapped my hands around his nape, drawing him closer. The result was our bodies crashing against each other in a hot frenzy. A gasp escaped my lips as I felt his bulge against my center. His body felt warm and fit against mine. My center twitched as he kept grinding into me. I threw my head back and let out a soft moan.I knew he was my best friend, and I couldn't explain how we got to the point of making out, but I liked it—hell, I loved it. He removed his lips, but just to slide down my panties. That was when I realized I was only in panties. He pinched my exposed nipples lightly, and I whimpered. Soon, my panties were apart from me, and I laid naked under the dark and hungry gaze of William Flynn. Who would have thought? This had better not be a dre

Chapter: Chapter Three _ Drunk!AUDREYLislie pulled to a stop in front of my gate _ where I stood waiting for her. The glass wind down and she gave me a once-over."Seriously?" I raised a questioning brow. "What?" She sighed and turned off the ignition. "Girl, don't you have feminine clothing anymore? It's a party for crying out loud."I rolled my eyes. "If you don't like what I am wearing I might as well go back. It's not as if I wanted to attend the party anyway, so, it's my gain."There's no way you are escaping this party because of your outfit. No way in hell." She beckoned on me with her free hand."Come on in, you are beautiful even in denim trousers, t-shirts, and flannel shirts." "I thought you'd never ask. I will just turn and spin on my heels." I said with a chuckle as I slid into the passenger seat."Where exactly are we headed?" I asked, trying to hide the disappointment that laced my face at the thought of Liam not coming to pick me up. Maybe he went to pick one of his numerous girlfriends. My stom

Chapter: Chapter Two _ Weird FeelingsAUDREYIt felt good to finally be a part and parcel of the University of California, Los Angeles. It had been our dreams — the five of us. It was a blissful transition into the world of high school to the college of our dreams. I came back with high hopes of meeting my friends again and starting the new semester as a freshman. Instead of everything going as planned, I found out that I was developing a soft spot for my best friend. What a weird way of starting a semester.His words were still echoing in my head. "You are way more special..."The statement was endearing, but come to think of it, this wasn't the first time he said endearing words to me. But, this was the first time I was taking it to heart. Because, sadly, everything had changed. During summer holidays, I thought my missing him and craving for his presence were because we didn't see each other much during our last days in high school. Now, it all made sense. The distance made me realize that my heart has grown fonder of
