All Chapters of My Bestfriend’s Brother Is My Tutor: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

JEROMEShe was showing visible signs of anger and frustration. She adjusted on the chair, then started tapping her fingers against the table and when she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she spat the question out.“Why can’t you ever be real with me?”“Because you don’t need me to.”“Urgh! What does that even mean?”“It means the less you know, the better for you.”She hissed loudly and moved again, turning away.Even when she wasn’t looking, when all I could see was her side profile, she was the most beautiful sight to behold. She brought the water to her lips and swallowed; face visibly drawn into a scowl.She was cute when she frowned, when she huffed and made a big deal. I liked her more when she was giggling, vibrating against my back, and laughing so close to me that her breath tickled my neck.If I said this to her, it would sound like a joke but really, it was a

JEROMELisa came around the next morning when she heard what happened. Stacy and I missed her first call because we were too stuck on each other’s bodies for the second time that morning, to get to the phone. This happened during the early hours of the morning.Stacy crossed the living room, dressed in just her orange shirt and nothing underneath it. I loved having her walk around my place like this. It was something I could get used to, her presence but it was something I wasn’t meant to get used to. It was something that was never going to happen again. At least, I had to make sure of it.Stacy picked up her phone and put Lisa on speaker.“You went to a club?” Lisa asked as soon as her voice came through. She was a mixture of offended and excited.Stacy glanced in my direction, and I shrugged. “I texted her last night that you were here.”“Yeah. That’s what happens when you let your best friend go talk

JEROME“Fridays are good but you’re a college student, you want to have your Friday evenings to yourself.”She sighed, nodding subtly. “I mean, I wouldn’t mind spending my Fridays with you if we will be alone.”“Sta—”“I’m just saying,” she added, lifting her shoulders and shrugging it away.“Fridays are off the list. I like Monday, Wednesday and… pick the last day yourself.”Stacy thought for a long moment. We were trying to create a schedule around the days we would be meeting up. She had asked me about Nattie, and I tried to keep the answers minimal, to give away nothing while also making sure I wouldn’t hurt her.It was hard to read her thoughts. I couldn’t tell if she didn’t care or if she was angry that I gave her nothing. After I had slammed the question away without an okay answer, she didn’t go back to it.Now we were t

JEROMEIt took ten minutes after Stacy’s call for me to remember that she had not paid on her end of the bargain.I quickly typed a message to her.Jerome: Bring your laptop tonight. I wanna read your book.Then I put my phone away and faced my laptop.After I got the call from Chase, Lisa was the first person I called, then I sent Dylan a short message and Dad was next. Thankfully, I had caught him at the right time because they were both getting ready to go out.I wasn’t going to have to call him and then call Mum.As soon as Dad answered the call, he announced to Mum that I was on the line and her face came into the screen. I had told them, and they had congratulated me, rushing it though because they were running late. Stacy was the next on my to-call list, but I kept her call for later this afternoon.Honestly, I had no reason for doing that. She would have been the first person that I called but I purposely kept it away, tr

JEROMEShe sighed heavily and rolled over in bed until she was staring at the ceiling. Her lips spread into a bright smile, eyes twinkling because of how much joy that was being pumped through her. We were both silent yet noises came from us, from our ragged breathing.They tried to slow down, tried to return to normal.We had found ourselves here again, I had let it happen. For a moment, I wanted to stop regretting. My heart, my mind, and my soul. Every part of me loved every moment of it, every second that we spent together. This thing I felt for Stacy scared the crap out of me as it was as real as the day was, as real as this life and this moment.Stacy moved in bed and I turned to, lying on my side. Her head nestled on her hands and her hair fell across the bed, being the halo to the angel that she was.My heart rate had slowed down to normal, my mind was at peace, it had found a comfortable silence that settled with the moment. She was breathing softl
