My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 36

Bailey's pov

The next morning when I put on my phone, there were countless missed calls from Kaleb, including a few text that told me to pick up the phone. Whatever he had to say, he clearly wanted to speak to me about it without saying it in a text.

I sighed and got ready for school, making sure I prepare myself mentally for our incoming conversation. There was no way I would be able to avoid him now that he wasn't avoiding me to. The only reason it worked the last time was because he made no effort to speak to me. Now, we clearly need to talk.

And I clearly need to cut off whatever was happening between us. I could not only risk my friendship with Mira but I could also lose my heart. I didn't want to go through heartbreak when I know for a fact Kaleb would only bring that to my door.

I couldn't mistake lust for love. It was just lust. I can fix this, I can get rid of it.

Things had to go back the way it was between us or there would be many things at stake.

I skipped down the stairs, making a beeline for the kitchen. Mom is just pouring herself a cup of coffee.

" Want some?" Her eyes sparkled and I just knew she was itching to ask me something. I had an inkling what she was impatient to ask and I dreaded it.

I nod slowly, looking at her like she would at any moment blurt out the question soon. But she surprises me when she fills the cup and passes over to me without a word.

I slipped on the stool, lifting the cup to my lips. The coffee was hot and rich and the aroma made my mouth water. As I took the first sip, mom decided that now was the right time to ask.

" Who's the guy you're in love with?"

The hot coffee burned the tip of my tongue and I wrench away from it, placing it down on the countertop as I stared at my mom who looked eager for my answer. I flushed, awkwardly scratching my throat.

" There's no one mom." I slid off the stool, not wanting to finish the coffee and tend to her questions. Mom pouted, sighing. " You're not going to tell me are you?"

I shook my head. " Mom there really isn't anyone."

Her eyes narrowed on me and her lips curled into a smile. " You have that same look in your eyes."

My brows furrowed. " What look?"

Her smile widen. " That look I had when I was fighting my feelings for your dad."

My heart thrust against my chest at her words and I tried to play it cool. " Mom what are you talking about? I have no look."

She smirked. " That denial look. You can deny it all you want but there is a boy you have fallen for."

I sighed, taking my bag to leave. " I'm going to blame dad for putting that idea in your head. I'm heading off to school, love you." I said in a rush and leaned over the counter to plant a kiss on her cheek.

" Love you too," She kissed back, but I hurriedly out of there before she filled my head with endless love stories and start planning my wedding.
