Starr

I curse and I know I can refuse it but...I don't. I put my earrings back in and find my top from my last dance. I take a few deep breaths after I put it on and fix my hair and makeup.I got to Apple and asked her which private room he was in and she pointed to the first one. I feel like my heart is about to beat straight out of my chest but I straighten up and walk into the room.He's sitting ramrod straight in the room, his eyes on me as I step up onto the small circle stage in the center of the dark room. Music starts to play, but I put my hands on my hips and stare down at Jordan Starr."What the hell are you doing here?"His mouth pops open and he stares at me, his throat bobbing. "Trust me, Kelly, I didn't know you worked here. I-I didn't know."I walk off of the stage stand in front of him and glare down at him. "Is your brother here with you?"His eyes widen and he shakes his head. "N-No! I'm here with Lyle and Keenan."

Hanging out with a Starr

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

Jordan made good on his promise and we hung out. We would meet up for lunch, and even though I sucked at school, he would show me his school work and I was able to help with a few assignments.He would bring me pizza after work some nights when he was out with his friends and we would hit up the movies on Sundays, just to get out of the house.And I found myself laughing and smiling more often than not. Jordan knew not to bring up James in any way and I think that was the only thing we tiptoed around. And sometimes when I would look at him, my breath would catch and I'd have to distance myself for a couple of days because he would look like his older brother. And I think he understood it. We were good friends for about a month and a half until I think the both of us kind of ruined it in one night.It was on my off day, Sunday. Jordan had pushed me a little on my no-drinking rule I put on myself and I had gotten us some beer fr

Humiliation Station

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

He's breathing hard and his throat is bobbing as he shakes his head. "Kelly... I-I'm sorry. I...You're f*cking beautiful and I'll probably regret this for the rest of my life, but...I can't. We can't do this."And I press my lips together and I know I've ruined it. I know that this short-lived friendship Jordan and I had was now done for, all because I gave in and drank and acted stupid. My hormones got the best of me and I shouldn't have even touched him."I know. I'm sorry. I- it's my fault."I get up off the floor and find a T-shirt that I had lying on the ground because I hadn't done laundry. I pull it on quickly and watch as he buttons himself back up. "It's...not. It's not your fault. Not by a long shot. I...I wanted to. I really did. I would have. But...He's my brother. And I know we don't talk about him, but I would feel like sh*t if one of my brother's did that to me."And that's when I get angry. Not at Jordan, but just because

Liam

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

Liam"Liam! Can you do me a quick favor!"I sigh and roll my eyes. I zip myself back up and flush the toilet. I wash my hands and sneer at the monogrammed hand towels Sarah has in her bathroom. S.S. on this one and J.S. on the other."Yeah, what is it?" I walk out of the bathroom and down the hall to the kitchen where Sarah is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Not like I've seen one before, but I was pretty sure that's what she was acting like."I asked James for the pictures that we took in the gardens. I have like...two hours to turn them into the videographer and I thought he did it before he left, but he didn't. Can you go to the bedroom and grab his laptop and get the pictures sent to my email?""And why didn't James do that?""Because he was running late for his flight. His brother and friends were adamant that he go and celebrate with them, so...here we are."I nod slowly and turn my ass back ar

Visitor

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

You know you're an adult when you get excited about brand-new appliances. In my case, I was washing all day and drying with my brand-new washer and dryer.My couch was full of clothes and I was grinning from ear to ear even though now I had to put everything up. But I felt proud. I felt super f*cking proud of finally not having to take all of my stuff to the Laundromat. At the apartment, we had to use a communal laundromat and it sucked having to lug laundry down the stairs. Now I had the luxury of having them in the same house and they were beautiful.I sat on my couch and began folding everything with a pile of hangers sitting next to me on the couch. I had a pile of jeans, neatly folded on the corner, a pile of my period panties, a pile of work panties, a pile of bras, my t-shirts were hanging over the edge of the couch with hangers on them, and shorts in a pile on the floor right next to my feet.I hadn't done this much laundry in so long and

To go or not to go

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

I glared down at the invitation sitting in front of me on my bed. It was worn and wrinkled from the countless times over the past three weeks that I've let myself look at it. James and Sarah. Sarah and James. I looked at the date of the wedding, just three days away, and groaned, running a hand over my face. I went into the kitchen where I had left the damn plane ticket and stared at the date of departure and the time. Tomorrow morning at five in the morning. I tossed the ticket back into the drawer and looked down at the closed drawer. The amount of times I've done this was almost as much as I've crumpled up the damn invitation. I grabbed a half-full water bottle from my counter and threw it across the kitchen and stomped down the damn hall back to my room. It's not healthy. None of my actions these past three weeks have been healthy. I've broken my no-crying rule countless times and taken myself into the dark corners of

Airport

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

At the airport I got all checked in and got my bag checked, leaving out my makeup bag as a carry-on.When we board, I hadn't noticed that he booked me on first class, so that was a nice surprise and so I'm sitting on the plane and I'm feeling antsy as f*ck. Everything in me is telling me to not go, but I'm already on. I'm already here and so I just buckle up and close my eyes.I slept the entire way because I hadn't gotten sleep and when we landed, I was kind of in a crabby mood. I didn't get to get my makeup on and I feel like I'm unarmored. I get off the plane and my heart is beating a million miles a minute. The airport is bustling and I'm not completely sure if I should rent a car or what the f*ck I'm going to do. I should have gotten Liam's number.But my worry fades when I spot the douchy asshole that started this whole nightmare, leaning against a wall with a small smile when he spots me. He lifts a hand, as I get near

We Meet Again

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

Standing in front of the mirror, I made sure I had my armor on for what was to come. Back in the bedroom, I could hear his phone tinkle and I held my breath and listened."Hey, yeah, I'm bringing my date for lunch so you can meet her."I stilled. I stared at my minimal makeup and nodded. All I put on was a coat of lipgloss and some mascara. Anything else felt like I was trying too hard. I redid my French braid and walked out of the bathroom.He smiled at me as I walked out and I gave him a tight smile back. My stomach was all twisted and I was getting nervous by the second."Ready?""As ready as I'm going to get.""Are you nervous?"I looked at him and he smirked. "Don't be. I've got you. If things start to get hairy, we'll leave.""Define hairy.""Awkward. Angry. Sad. Any negative type feelings."I sigh and nod. "Okay. Safe word?"He grinned then, showing off his p

Arguement

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

"No," James said quietly. He was looking at the table but he shook his head. He looked up at Liam and shook his head again. "No. I don't know what games you're trying to play here, but that's not happening.""James." Sarah chided. "Why are you being rude?"I lifted my chin and continued to stare at him. I knew it would be a hard lunch, but hearing him deny me at his wedding kind of hurt. Like I was the one who was the bad guy here.""Sarah said I could bring anyone. I didn't think this would be a problem." Liam retorted, seeming relaxed. He laid his arm across the back of the booth and I felt the heat of it behind my neck. "It's not," Sarah said quickly, giving me a reassuring smile. "Really, you're welcome to come. Actually, it makes me so happy that you're supportive, just like Liam."I smiled at her then. Yeah. Supportive. I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded. "Thank you, I appreciate it, but if he doesn't want me to come, then

Awkward Start

Unapologetically Me/Nohely Brown

After lunch, he took me back to my hotel room so I could unwind and relax before I'd have to go back to his apartment. He left me for the afternoon, needing to run some errands.Which was more than fine for me. I was still reeling from seeing James and the looks on his face and the way he had said 'no' about me going to his wedding. And his eyes. And how I couldn't even look at him without my heart hurting. And Sarah. How average she looked, but sweet. But something about her just didn't feel right and maybe I was biased because she had taken him from under me, but I just didn't like her.I laid down in bed and I did sleep for a few hours, thankfully. When I woke up, I showered and put my hair up in a bun then put on a pair of shorts and a plain blue t-shirt. When Liam knocked on my hotel door at six thirty, I felt my nerves flare.My stomach kicked up butterflies at the prospect of actually talking everything out and I didn't know now how this e
