My Best Friend’s Brother

Molly stops what she is doing and looks me in the eyes, and she shouldn’t do that when she is so close to me because I want to kiss that mouth right now. But I control myself, especially because she says:

”Oh really? Could you give me a reason?”

I end up smiling, but I don’t say what I think and choose to say:Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

”Because your company will be back here soon.”

She stares at me as if she doesn’t believe what I just said, and I bite back a smile. She then says:

”Are you by any chance jealous?”

I look into her eyes and say:

”As a matter of fact, I am.”

She looks at me in surprise now. I don’t even know why I confess this, but I would do anything for her not to go out with this guy. Then I complete:

”He’s no good, Molly, don’t go out with him.”

She didn’t seem to like what I just said very much, and I knew she wouldn’t.

”Do you like to know him?”

”More than I’d like to.”

She doesn’t say anything and turns around just as I’m about to say something else. Ryan approaches, and just when I think she will do what I say, she ignores me and gives him a huge smile. This woman is still going to kill me with frustration.

… Molly…

As I look in Chris’s direction again, I realize he is coming. I wish my whole body wouldn’t go on alert like this, but he does. I put my best smile on my face to disguise that the mere presence of him makes me like this. Ryan now doesn’t seem as attractive as he used to. He has a physique that would typically attract me in every way, and he is standing right here in front of me and greeting me right now.

Ryan stands up, and I realize he and Chris know each other. This night is getting harder and harder than I thought it would be after meeting Chris.

It is on Amanda’s face and mischievous smile that she is very interested in Chris. I take a deep breath and introduce them at her request. They chat as I watch them out of my eye, pretending to be interested in Ryan’s return and my phone.

A friend of Amanda’s approaches me, and they start talking about something that I don’t pay much attention to because Chris is getting closer and closer to me and tells me to stop pretending to look at something on my phone. Damn, he doesn’t waste any time at all.

The problem is that he doesn’t stop there and starts talking about Ryan not being a good person, I don’t understand why Chris is acting like this, so I ask him if he is jealous and amazingly, he says yes, taking me totally by surprise. He can’t be severe and must be doing this so that I won’t go out with Ryan. But the funny thing is that he seemed interested in Amanda a few minutes ago.

We don’t have anything more than fun once in a while, so he doesn’t have much right to give me hints about who I should or shouldn’t date. I don’t give a hint about his life. However, I don’t know if he has seen anyone else these last few days. The bad thing is that I wish he hadn’t, but I also know he doesn’t want anything more than what we have. Everything about him always leaves me so confused.
