My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 56

Bailey's pov

The ride was uncomfortable. It wasn't silent because Mira kept questioning about Stefan and what had triggered Kaleb to fight his friend, but his answers were so blunt and clipped that it made everyone feel uneasy.

So after a bit, Mira decided to keep her mouth shut and looked out the window just as I did.

They dropped me off first and as I bid the two goodbye I noticed Kaleb was too upset to even look at me.

My stomach twisted.

I didn't mean to make him feel bad, I had just said those words to Mira to get her off my back. I didn't mean them at all.

I frowned, feeling the awful sinking feeling in my tummy as I watch them drive off. He didn't horn like he normally did when he dropped me off and I knew for certain that I had really upset him.

I needed to fix this.

I pulled out my phone and looked down at the screen, squinting as the sunlight casted a glow. I chewed my lips. I can text him but I wasn't sure if Mira would happen to see it.

So I made up my mind. I'd wait for thirty minutes to go by and then text him. By then he'd probably have already gotten home or at least dropped off Mira.

* Fifteen minutes later*

I'm pacing my room, my thumb in my mouth as I bit my nails in nerves.

My mind was a storm of worry and regret. I kept replaying the way he looked at me when he recited my words. He looked like he was in pain and I know he was.

I let out a groan, stopped pacing and flopped on my bed.

I can't help but be angry and disappointed in myself. Today had been the perfect chance to tell Mira, to officially spill the beans. But instead I had choked up and hurt the only boy who has ever made my heart thrum.

I buried my face in my hands and let out a loud un-prettily grunt. He had every right to be mad at me right now. I screwed up.

I lie down on my back and stared at the ceiling, contemplating if to text him now. My belly twisted in anxiety. Oh God, what if he doesn't answer?

What if he hates me now?

" At least try Bailey. It's the least you can do." I whispered to myself as I pick up my phone and opened the chat.

I am nervous, terrified and I don't know what to say.

How do I go about this? How do I apologize to someone like Kaleb?

A breath pushed out my lips and I find the courage to text him.

Bailey: I'm sorry for earlier. I didn't know what to say in the moment and I didn't think.

My trembling fingers press the send button and I waited with a staggering breath for his reply. My heart lurches in my throat when I see that he had read the message but after five minutes had gone by without a response I furrowed my brows.
