I Love My Brother's Best Friend — Chapter 28

Last Chapter:

Aaron's POV

I slapped the money into his hands with a smile, "Here. Jake wanted me to give it to you."

He looked confused for a minute, but then his eyes got wide and he shook his head 'no', "I don't want it."

I laughed, "No, you made the bet you're keeping the money."

Skye moved her head to see passed Chase to me, "What bet?"

"You don‘t want to know," Chase glared at me.

"Dude," I gave him a sympathetic look, "she's my best friend. I have to tell her." I walked closer, "Skye, Chase and Jake made a bet on who could get a date with you first." The look on her sad face made me want to ease the blow so I added, "But I don't think that's the reason Chase wanted to date you."

"But he made a bet anyway," she narrowed her eyes at Chase.

"Skye-" he started.

"I-I'm just going to go with Aaron. I'll see you later," she hopped off the wall and dragged me away with her.

"Skye," I stopped her once we were a good twenty feet away, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, it's just that I really missed you and when I found out about they made a bet I had to tell you-" I rambled.

"I missed you too," she hugged me and managed to cut me off. Damn that girl had a hahbit of doing that.

"So you're not upset that I told you?" I asked confused.

She pulled off me with a smile, "Of course not. Even if you told me for the most selfish reasons, you still told me."

I smiled, "Want to ditch ninth?"

"I thought you'd never ask," she sluirked

****

I laughed as my body smacked hard against the pool water. I fell towards the bottom, but quickly swam back to the top.

"Very funny," I beamed at Adam and Aaron.

They looked at each other and grinned. I tried to swim away backwards once I figured out what they were going to do, but I couldn't do it fast enough. Adam and Aaron jumped in completely soaking me just in case they missed a spot when they threw me into the pool. Note the sarcasm.

"Thanks, that was lovely," I rolled my eyes and swam to the edge of the pool.

"No problem, sis," Adam grinned smuggly and back stroked to the other end of the pool, opposite from me.

It was then I realized how opposite we were. My hair was tamed and brown. My features were soft and I appeared fragile. While Adam, well he was completely different. He had wild, messy, black hairand it worked for him. His features were sharper too. Basically the only thing we had in common was are light blue eyes.

Some how the thought of how opposite we were made me miss Adam. He'd barely looked me in the eye after he found out Chase and I were together. Or maybe it was because Chase told him I wasn't virgin anymore thanks to Jake. Personally I think it was because he figured if I was dating Chase, I was sleeping with Chase.

I smiled at Adam and he returned the smile. The flght I wasn't even sureyou could really call it that, I jhad ust walked away Chase and I had might've not been that bad. Not bad for mine and Adam's relationship at least.

Adam looked behind me and coughed in some attempt to warn me I had to assume, "Hey, Chase."

I spinned around letting the cool water whip around me. I looked up to see Chase who seemed to be looking bashful. His hands were in his short pockets and he shuffled his feet against the concrete next to my pool.

"Uh, Skye can I, you know, talk to you?" he asked nervously. I laughed a little at how cute that seemed and that didn't seem to help his ego.

"Sure, Chase," I pulled my body up from the pool and stood up next to him.

He handed me a towel. The two of us walked over to the wall were we shared one of our first kisses. It was after the first time Chase saw Jake and I kissing. It was the perfect spot. It was hiden from everyone.

We stopped walking and he turned to me.

"Skye, I didn't mean to make a bet on you. I got so caught up on heating Jake-"

"Beating him at what?" I raised an eyebrow just to toy with him. I knew what he was talking about. He meant he was in some weird competion with lake to get me and he wanted to win. Normally that should've been very offensive to me, but I was being very flckle.

I wasn't exactly securing either of them in a relationship with me. But then again it's not like Chase had asked me out at that point. I couldn't secure him in a relationship if he didn't want to be in one.

"Ya- you don't want to know," he stuttered, "I'm really, really sorry-"

"Chase-"

"You didn't deserve that-"

"Chase-"

"Can you ever forgive-"

I touched my lips lightly on his to shut him up and slowly pulled away. I smiled at his confused face.

"Chase," I whispered while cradling his face, "it's okay. I forgive you."

"Why?" he asked then got suddenly nervous, "Never mind, don‘t over think it."

I laughed; he was so cute when he was nervous. "I promise not to."

I kissed him lightly again. It wasn‘t like our rough, passionate kisses like in the past, but this was just as good. Maybe even better. It left us wanting more.

"You guys are back together?" Adam asked from behind us.

I pulled back from Chase and turned toward Adam, "We were never really broken up."

He wrinkled his nose, "Ew."

"Adam!" I screamed and jumped into a hug With him, "Bro, let me love you!"

"Damn, okay, Skye," he grinned, "Just get off. You're going to hurt me."

"Blah, blah, blah," I smiled, "all your needs."

He chuckled, "Go hug your boyfriend."

I hopped off him and stuck my tongue out, "Love you too."

"Love you, Skye," he winked before walking away.
