My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 34

Bailey's pov

The point snaps for the fifth time on the paper. Mira lifts her gaze off the book and look over at me with furrowed brows, her eyes dropping on the pencil I held in my hand. The now point-less pencil.

Her brows furrowed and she stood up, taking the pencil out of my hold. " Girl this is like the sixth time you've broken the point," she pointed out as she sharpened it once more again.

"Fifth actually," I whispered, my mind drifting to Kaleb. He had occupied my thoughts for hours, especially since he have not returned.

" What time is it?" I asked Mira, biting the inside of my cheek.

Mira leaned over the desk, taps on her phone screen until it lights up. " It's seven fifteen."

I looked out the window. From here I could see the neighbours house, all lights were on, but I had yet to see him get out of the house. My mind of course raced with many thoughts, causing me to feel unsettled and squirmy.

I chewed on my lips, not wanting to raise suspicion but of course I blurt out before I can bite it off." Kaleb is taking quite a while huh?"

Mira looks over at me and then at the neighbours, which she can also see from where she stood. She shrugged. " I guess he's catching up with Juliet." her voice was monotone, not giving out much.

Her words made me feel bitter inside and I bit my tongue knowing she was right. Kaleb was catching up with Juliet.

Juliet Burner. The girl who had Kaleb's heart since they were in middle school. She had been his first girlfriend and when she suddenly left without a word to him, it broke him and made him the guy he is now. A player who cares little for girls.

Everyone swooned at their relationship back then and wished to have a guy who looked at them the Kaleb looked at Juliet.

Knowing this made my heart sink knowing that now she was back, I stood no chance against her. Not that I was thinking about risking my friendship with Mira.

I mean, I wasn't thinking about being with Kaleb right? I'd not take the risk right?

Mira walks back with the now sharpened pencil. " Here, try to not break it again, this time." She snorted and went back to sit.

She kicks up her legs on the table looking at the book and then looked back at me. She surprised me when she suddenly just slams the book on the desk, startling me who was lost in my thoughts.

She turned her chair to face me, her eyebrows drawn and her lips pressed into a frown. " I don't get it," she all of a sudden utter. " Why is she back after just up and leaving like that with her family?"

She was talking about Juliet.

" Like she just left without telling him a word." Mira frowned, her lips in a line before she sighed and shrugged. " Maybe it's a good thing she came back. Maybe Kaleb will finally stop his player ways and I can finally get some good sleep without hearing the sounds they make."

Her words cut deep. I didn't want to hear that there was a huge possibility that the two would get back together and I despise knowing that she may be the one to finally tame Kaleb's player ways.

I burn with jealousy and saddness. I hated these feelings. I hated that he was doing this to me.

I looked down at my phone, making up an excuse so I can go home and cry my eyes out for being stupid in thinking that perhaps, for me, he'd change. It was already seven nineteen, Kaleb had yet to walk out that door.
