Her Sister's Best Friend 99
OLIVIA The first thing that comes to mind is to run into my room, lock the door behind me, and plug in my AirPods to listen to music, so I won't hear their voices. But, I can't. They've already seen me coming down the stairs. I don't have any choice but to stay. I stand on the stairs, my eyes fixed on Aiden and Sarah. I watch as Sarah wraps her hands around his neck, and he hugs her back as she pulls him closer to her so that there is barely any space between them. I bet she is going to smell like him after that hug. My eyes drop, and I catch sight of Aiden's hand placement. My insides tangle up, and I clench my hands into fists beside me. His hand is placed on her waist, the same hand that was holding me last night. I look up and meet his honey brown eyes. His gaze pierces into mine. I hate how his eye contact stirs up various emotions within me. I feel foolish. He's hugging someone right in front of me while maintaining eye contact with me, yet I still feel butterflies flutterin

OLIVIA I sit on the edge of the bed, sipping on orange juice. This will be the second glass of juice I've had today. I can't help it; I just realized how nice it tastes. I can't seem to get enough of the flavor. As I am about to gulp down another glass of juice, I hear giggles coming from my window. It is Sarah's voice. They haven't left yet. I stand up from the bed and walk to the window, parting the curtains. There they are, Sarah and Aiden in the parking lot. Sarah is grinning from ear to ear , looking up at Aiden with a glow in her eyes. God knows what they're talking about that has her so happy. My gaze shifts to Aiden. He has a smile on his face too, although not as bright as Sarah's. I don't know why that made me feel good inside; at least he's not as excited as my sister. What's wrong with me? Am I feeling jealous? Jealous of Aiden's friendship with my sister, or is it something more? I don't know what's wrong with me anymore. Sarah stands on her toes and runs her hands t

OLIVIAAiden is not here yet. I turn on my phone and check the time on the screen. It's exactly 9 pm, and Aiden Blacksmith hasn't shown up. I don't want to overthink things. I don't want to be bothered, but I can't help it. I should go home since he won't show up, but it's like my legs have failed me. I stand close to the parking lot of my restaurant, a part of me waiting for the familiar black car to stop beside me, the window to wind down, and honey brown eyes fixed on me, telling me to get into the car. Damn. Will that happen? Should I call him on the phone and ask if he's still coming? I shouldn't do that; it's a desperate move. But the jerk promised to come in the evening, and now it's closing hours, but he hasn't shown up. Why is Aiden messing with my mind? He should act right. Why can't I get a grip on myself too? I don't know how to act anymore when it comes to Aiden.I hear the sound of a car horn, and a black car stops in front of me. My heart skips a beat. He's here. Aide

AIDEN Olivia's lips part. “ You mean you want me to take your dick in your mouth?” I lean closer to her, my hand finding its way to her hair. I fondle it, my nose taking in the natural scent of her shampoo. Her hair feels so soft and silky in my hand; I could rake my fingers through them forever. Her eyes has a tiny sparkle in them, a mix of gold and hints of green. They look too innocent as they pierce into me, drawing me in. I don't know why her eyes do things to me, something I can't even explain. They make me want to stare into them forever. Her eyes, everything about her, unlocks something within me, something I've kept hidden for too long. It doesn't even make me want to do anything dirty with her right now. I just want to run into her arms and stay here for a while. I don't know why, all of a sudden, I feel like being vulnerable with her. I squeeze my eyes shut, my fingers leaving her hair. What's wrong with me? This is not like me. I know I'm into her, but it shouldn't b

OLIVIA The first thing I do when I wake up is pick up my phone. I remove the phone from do not disturb mode and go straight to my messages and calls. My eyelids drop. No message from Aiden. At least, he would have texted to ask if I got home safe or try to explain whatever was going on with him last night. But no messages or calls from him. That says it all. Before I went to sleep last night after I got home, I thought of everything. Maybe he didn't lie when he said he liked me. Maybe he really did like me. Maybe he really had a lot on his mind and was confused. I defended his actions in my mind. But now, I could tell that was not the case. Aiden Blacksmith didn't give a damn about me; he probably thought of me as just another random girl he decided to play with. But why? I thought he liked me. Was all of that for nothing? I can feel tears pricking my eyes. I try to sniffle back the tears. I can't cry. I shouldn't cry over him. But the more I think about it, the more I can't he

OLIVIAI swallow hard.I read the message again. The content of the message didn't change; it is the same. “I'm sorry, Hazel. Can we talk?”Fuck him. Aiden is such a fool! Who does he think he is? He thinks telling me a mere “sorry” and asking if we could talk would resolve everything? I need to know how he thinks, because this can't be real. What does he even think of me? A puppet who's foolishly obsessed with him and would always go back to him, no matter what happens. Maybe, he's right. I'm indeed a puppet who's foolishly obsessed with him.Fuck me. I'm so stupid.I cover my face with my palm, tears dripping from my eyes again. Funny how a part of me wants to hear what he has to say, a part of me wants to see him. But no, I'm not doing that. I'm so done with being his puppet.I hear my phone beep. Another message from him. I read his text.Aiden - I know I'm a piece of shit, but can you give me a chance to speak to you? You can decide not to give me a damn attention after this one

OLIVIAI wrap my arms over Aiden’s shoulders, I feel his arms encircle my waist, pulling me close. Our bodies press together, chests touching and I can feel his heart beating against mine. Since he is inches taller than me, I have to tilt my head up to rest it on his shoulder. He leans down, his face burying into my hair and his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. We hold each other like that, not moving. I feel so good in his arms. I don't want to let go. I just want to stay here, wrapped in his arms. Aiden removes his arms from my waist and pulls away from the hug. I let my arms slide away from his shoulders, and we stand there, looking into each other's eyes. I wonder what is going through his head as he stares at me. I feel like I'm melting into his gaze. He is not just looking at me; he's seeing me, gazing into my soul.His eyes dart away from me, and I follow his gaze as it lands on the bouquet of flowers on my bedside table. Oh, those flowers.I swallow hard. “I receiv

OLIVIA My eyelids flutter open, lifting my head from Aiden's well-chiseled chest to meet his piercing honey-brown eyes. "You're awake," Aiden says, a smile gracing his face. "Did you even sleep?" I ask. "No. I prefer watching you as you sleep," He replies. A smile forms on my lips as I rest my head back on his chest, my fingers tracing the lines and curves of his toned muscles. I can't help but admire them. "If you keep touching me like that, things might heat up," Aiden whispers. "What do you mean?" I tease, wanting to hear more of his voice that strikes a chord deep within me. "We're both naked on the bed right now. How about I fuck you until you can't even more?" He says in a low, husky voice. "I think I want that," I murmur. "We only have less than an hour before your sister returns," Aiden points out. I almost let out a hiss. Must he ruin the moment? I should say that out loud, but I stop myself from escalating things further. "How did you know?" I probe. "She went t

Her Sister's Best Friend EPILOGUE
AIDEN Three months later… “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, Aiden!" I wish I could block my ears so I wouldn't have to hear them singing this birthday song. I think it's really cringe. I don't even know what to do, how to act while they sing. I just stand there, my eyes locked on my girl. She's the only one whose singing doesn't make me cringe. Olivia has a big smile on her face, like she is more excited than I am and I'm the one clocking a new age. She even organized this whole thing, insisting I should celebrate with friends. And somehow, she got me to agree. So, here we are, having a mini party at my place with Bryan, Sarah, and Ashley. I turn 21 today. I'm in a better place; I feel loved. That's a good reason to celebrate. Olivia walks over to me and hands me a knife. "You can cut the cake now," She says. I nod and smile at her. Just as I position the knife and about to cut the cake, a voice interrupts me. "Don't cut the cake like it's your opp," Bryan jokes

OLIVIA Why the hell am I freaking out? It's just a date—a date with my boyfriend. This isn't the first, second, or third time I am going out with him. So, why am I feeling flutters all over my stomach? What's wrong with me? It's funny, even though he told me we are just going to see a movie, I can't help the butterflies in my stomach. It's always been like this. Whenever I see him, a part of me feels like a little girl getting her favorite treat. Is it normal that I still feel this way about him, even though our relationship is more than a month old? I can't get enough of him. I don't think I ever will. I know what I need now—a damn grip on myself. I haven't even picked out what to wear yet. If Aiden shows up and I am not ready, he'll tease me about how I always make us late. I really don’t want that. I walk to my closet. It’s just a movie date, right? Something simple will do. I consider jeans but then think better of it. I want to wear something cute. A mini dress it is. I grab

OLIVIAI blink my eyes open, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains.The first thing I feel is the warmth beneath me, the gentle rise and fall of Aiden's chest. His breathing is the only sound I want to hear. I raise my head, letting my gaze linger on his face. He's still asleep, calm as ever. There's something about seeing him like this that makes my heart flutter. His messy hair falls across his forehead, and I reach up to brush it aside, my fingers lightly tracing his skin. He stirs a little but doesn't wake, only tightening his grip around me.A smile tugs at the corners of my lips. I think about us. What I love most is that, no matter what happens, we always find our way back to each other. We choose each other, again and again. If that is not love, I don’t know what is.I press a kiss to his chest, then shift just enough to reach his lips, kissing him there too. Is this what forever feels like? With him, wrapped in his arms, it certainly feels that way.Enough of

AIDENI slide into my car, the loud bass from the party music fading as the door closes behind me. I slam my fist on the steering wheel, regret boiling inside me. I’ve never regretted anything in my life, but this might be the first. I wish I’d never come to this party, let alone convinced her to join me.Where the hell is Olivia? Who did she follow? Why did I leave her alone like that? My mind spins, and the more I think about it, the more I blame myself. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t been so stupid, she wouldn’t have left.I don’t want to be here at this party anymore. But, I can’t just drive home, not knowing where my girlfriend is or who she is with. I pull out my phone—this is my only hope. If I can reach her and know she’s safe, at least half my worries will be eased.I dial her number. I heave a sigh of relief as the ringing echoes through the car. At least the call is going through this time, but she doesn’t answer.A line forms between my brows. Why isn’t she picking up?

AIDENI lean against the wall, watching Marcel pace back and forth in front of me. We're in a dimly lit room, the smell of smoke thick in the air. I take a long drag from my cigarette, feeling the familiar burn in my lungs. "When did you get back from Italy?" I ask."Two days ago," He answers.I had been with my friends at the main venue of the party when I spotted Marcel. I remember thinking it was the right time to tell him about my decision to leave the drug scene. Marcel has been quiet since I broke the news, I wonder what's on his mind."Aiden," He calls out, pulling me from my train of thoughts. "Are you really sure about this? You're just going to walk away from everything?"I exhale slowly, watching the smoke curl up toward the ceiling. "Yes, I'm sure," I say.I know this news shocked him. I never imagined I'd reach the point where I'd decide to quit drug dealing, the life I've known for so long. But, it's time. I've chosen to leave the darkness behind, and there's no turning

OLIVIASarah squeezes her eyes shut, then slowly opens them again."I know I haven't been a good sister to you. I've never treated you the way an older sister should," She admits.My eyes widen. Where is this coming from? Is she just messing with me again?"Why are you saying all this?" I ask. "This isn't like you. You never care how you treat me, whether I like it or not."Sarah takes a deep breath. "You're making me feel worse than I already do. I know I've been awful. Deep down, I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn't stop myself."She continues. "When our parents divorced, I completely lost myself. I didn't know how to handle the pain, let alone be there for you. So I started hanging out with my friends, and I abandoned you. I know that too.""I was lost too," I say, my lips trembling. "We could have supported each other, but even before the divorce, you were never there for me. It was always you and your friends. You never cared about me."Sarah rakes her fingers through her hai

~ TWO WEEKS LATER ~OLIVIACrazy. That is the only word that comes to mind as I stand in the middle of the crowded room, the noise and chaos around me growing louder. My eyes sweep the room. Smoke fills the air from countless cigarettes. The music is blaring. Bottles are littered across the floor. People are grinding on each other, drunk and reckless. If they're not smoking or making out, they're definitely drunk. Some are doing all three at once.I've been to a few parties before, but none as wild as this. This is insanity. What should I call this? Aiden's world? And where the hell is Aiden? He’s still not back from the car.Aiden and I arrived at the party just a few minutes ago, and he had to go get his phone, which he forgot in the car, while I chose to stay here and wait for him. I regret that decision now. I should’ve just followed him back to the car. Aiden invited me to this party. He said it had been a long time since he attended one, and he wanted me to go with him. You

AIDENThe warm breeze washes over me, sending shivers across the skin as I reach the lake. The lake is our favorite place - always calm in the afternoon, with a secluded spot we've claimed as our own. We’ve been here countless times before Sarah decided to call it our special place. It’s become a routine for us to visit two or three times a week. But now, I am not sure how much longer that will continue. I have a girlfriend and she’s Sarah’s sister. How much more complicated can things get?I spot Sarah, her back turned toward me. The plan is to sort things out with her. No matter what, I shouldn’t argue with her too much or let her get on my nerves. I walk closer and sit beside her. Sarah exhales smoke from the cigarette she is holding, then passes it to me. I take a drag, inhaling deeply before blowing out the smoke.“So, you’re going to marry my sister now, huh?” Sarah blurts out, still not facing me.I raise my eyebrows. “I would love to,” I mumble.Sarah spins around to face me

OLIVIAI step out of my car and head toward Aiden's doorstep. I take a deep breath and ring the doorbell. After waiting a moment without a response, I move to press it again. But before I can do that, the door swings open, and my brown-eyed boy stands before me.“Hazel,” Aiden says, opening the door wider to let me in.“Hey,” I murmur.“You’re beautiful,” Aiden whispers, pulling me into a hug, his hand gently stroking my hair.“Beautiful?” I blurt out. “Don’t try to flatter me just to make me feel better, I’m sure I look like a mess right now.”“You look stressed, but as beautiful as ever. You never look like a mess, and you never will.”“Aiden - ”“You don’t see yourself the way I see you,” He murmurs, his breath tickling my ear.I close my eyes and rest my head on his chest. If I weren’t so stressed, I’d love to kiss him like my whole world depends on it. He’s so sweet.We hear someone clear his throat, and we quickly pull away from each other, turning to see Bryan standing there."
