My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 41

Bailey's pov

Baby.

Baby.....

Baby?

That word rang in my ears as I peered at his back as he disappeared back inside the locker room. Before he did, he turned to me and smiled.

That smile, the gleam of happiness in his eyes. My heart sped its beats.

I clench the shirt in a fist in my hands, gripping the material as I stared at the closed door in utter shock.

Did that just happen?

I looked around, suddenly realizing I was still in the hallway and anyone could have seen us and what Kaleb had done, which was kiss my cheek. But to my surprise the hallway was empty.

I only prayed it had been so when he leaned down to kiss me on the cheek.

I looked down at his jersey, unsure if to go to him and give it back. If I wore it, it would raise questions and rumors will begin. Kaleb has never and I mean ever given a girl his jersey to wear before.

Usually when a guy gave a girl his jersey to wear it would mean that they are dating. Kaleb never gave anyone his jersey....

I flushed.

If I walk out in this Mira would probably ask a lot of questions...but on the other hand Juliet would probably be pissed off. I am tempted to irk the bitch.

Yet...I didn't want to raise questions from Mira who would no doubt think something was up.

I chewed on my lips looking away awkwardly when two girls pass by staring at me strangely. I turn around and made my way to the bathroom, hoping that when I do get there I would have already made up my mind.

I washed my face, stared at myself in the mirror and sighed. I tugged the clinging shirt off my skin, wiggling my nose in distaste.

That bitch did this on purpose.

Staring at myself in the mirror, I came to a decision. I would put on the jersey. It was not like I had anything else to wear. I couldn't go out looking like this. I couldn't have Juliet getting the upper hand.

I ripped the shirt off my body and put on Kaleb's jersey. It swallows my form and reaches almost to my mid thigh. I pinched the color and lift it to my nose and breathed in his scent.

I closed my eyes, sighing as his cologne made my insides melt. The door burst open, making me startled. I whipped around to see a young girl my age staring at me like I had another head.

She must've seen me sniffing the shirt like a creep. I smiled awkwardly and took my stained coffee shirt off the counter and made my way towards the door. I didn't fail to see the girl's eyes drop to Kaleb's number on the jersey and her jaw slackened.

-

I had confidence a few seconds ago....I really did. But when I made my way back up those bleachers, eyes were now suddenly drawn toward me. More specifically the shirt, I mean Kaleb's jersey I had on.

Everyone knew it was his. His number was printed big and bold on the front and back.

I bit into my bottom lip as everyone started to whisper among themselves, not being discreet as they stared at me while doing so.
