All Chapters of Forbidden Flames: My Best Friend: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sky's P.O.V.As the bartender prepares the drinks I ordered, my eyes remain fixed on Zoe, who is dancing freely, completely lost in the music. She looks so fucking beautiful, so captivating, that I can't tear my eyes away from her.But then I notice a guy approaching her, his gaze fixed on her body with lust. My blood boils with anger. How dare he look at her like that?I march over, my fists clenched. Before he can touch her, I push him away, my eyes blazing with fury. The guy stumbles back, looking startled and then annoyed. But one glance at my expression makes him think twice. He backs off, muttering something under his breath.I turn my attention to Zoe, who is dancing oblivious to the scene, her back turned to me.It's enough to hide my desire from Zoe.Without a second thought, I grab her waist and yank her towards me, forgetting everything else. Her back collides with my front, sending jolts of electricity down my spine.Right now, I don't care how she will react; I just want

Zoe's P.O.V.Sky grabs my arms and yanks me closer to him. "No, I don't want to forget it because it wasn't a mistake for me, Trouble." He moves closer to my face, making my heartbeat race, his intense gaze fixed on me.What is happening to me? Why is he behaving like this? We're best friends. How can things change so drastically between us? It was just a kiss that happened in the heat of the moment. Why can't he understand?He questions, "Didn't I give you a chance to push me away last night, Zoe?" As I remain silent, he repeats the question, his tone firm. "Didn't I?""Yes, you did," I admit in a low voice."And did you push me away?" he presses, his grip tightening slightly, making my heart race even faster.I shake my head. "No, I didn't.""Why?" He raises his brows at me. I keep staring at him mutely because I don't have an answer to his question. I don't know why I didn't push him away.He withdraws his hands from my arms and clasps my face. "You didn't push me away because you

Zoe's P.O.V.Sky's eyes soften as he sees my reaction. "Zoe, I know it's a lot. Seriously, I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but I walked in on you by accident. I came to your apartment to surprise you, and what I saw that night changed my feelings for you, Zoe. From that moment, every cell in my body has desired you and only you. I even tried to get you out of my mind, but I couldn't. I stopped doing one-night stands because you're the only one on my mind."Sky saw me using the vibrator? This is too much."When I saw you with Liam, I couldn't control my jealousy. It made me realise that it's beyond just desire; it's something else, something I've never felt for any other woman. I wanted to kill Liam, and I would have done anything to be with you. Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for me to control my feelings and hide them from you for this past month? It's been torturous, and I can't keep pretending anymore."He continues to confess his feelings, but I keep staring

Zoe's P.O.V.The next day, I am lost in my thoughts, still trying to process everything. I can't get what Sky did out of my mind, and I miss him terribly.As I step out of my apartment building, my mind is miles away, and I don't even notice the sign that the lift is under construction. Absentmindedly, I step into the elevator and press the button for the ground floor.Suddenly, the elevator jolts and comes to a stop. The lights flicker, and I feel my heart leap into my throat. Panic sets in as I realise the elevator is stuck."Help! Someone, please help!" I shout, banging on the doors. But no one seems to hear me. My breath becomes heavy, and I feel the walls closing in on me.I fumble for my phone and quickly dial Selena's number. To my dismay, her phone goes straight to voicemail. "No, no, no," I mutter, trying to keep my composure.I stare at my phone, wondering whether to call Sky. For the first time, I'm thinking of reaching out to him for help because the pain of betrayal is st

Zoe's P.O.V.As I enter the college pool party with Selena, I see Liam approaching me. I don't know why, but I feel like running away. Maybe it's because of Sky's warning."Take as much time as you need, Trouble. But don't forget that if you let Liam get close to you again, I'll forget that I'm controlling my desires."His words have been engraved in my mind. One thing I've become certain about now: I can never get my old Sky back. We can never be the same as before, and it hurts.However, I know it isn't his fault. He tried to control his desires, but they were too strong to be contained now.Last night, as I was looking through our photos, I realised just how happy we were when we were together.
