-NICA-

Charlotte had fallen asleep.

I had stayed on the floor until my legs went numb, then moved to the couch in the living room.

Her door was open. I kept it open in case she called for me at any point in time. I knew Charlotte better than anyone. I knew how she got when she had alcohol. Tomorrow she’d spend most of the day in the toilet puking her life out. I’d have to go out and get things to help with her hangover.

I opened my eyes when I heard footsteps and was shocked to see her wide awake and moving towards me

“Char-”

All of a sudden she threw herself into my arms. I went back against the couch with her on top of me.

What the fuck?

I caught her so she would not hit the floor. Hands on her waist. Her knees either side of my hips.

Hair in my mouth.

“Char-”

She buried her face in my neck and sniffed.

“You smell so good,” she murmured, like she had been waiting to say it.

I froze.

My heart started to race.

That was not normal for me. Hearts did not do this. Not for a girl who was your best friend.

My heart never beat like this for any of the girls I’d slept with. And if I was being honest, not even for Olivia.

That little detail terrified me. This was Charlotte. My best friend. I never looked at her like a girl, not really. She was just Charlotte, the girl who meant a lot to me.

The person who checked on me every minute of every day and threw water in my face when I upset her, roasting me every chance she got.

And now she was the girl I had just carried away from Marco because drinks made her someone I had to protect from my own brother.

That was stupid. I knew Marco would never take advantage of her. My brother was more of a gentleman than I was. Still, for some reason, I hated seeing the two of them together. I felt like my brother should have known not to cross that line with her.

She nuzzled closer.

I held still because moving felt like a decision I was not qualified to make at this hour, in this city, with her breath on my throat.

“You looked for me first,” she said against my skin. “I like when you do that.”

I froze.

She liked when I looked for her? I swallowed hard. Charlotte has never spoken to me like this/before. It felt strange…in a good way.

It also made me nervous for some reason. Fuck? Why was I nervous? I’d had many girls this close to me. None of them ever made me feel this way. What the fuck was going on with me today?

First I thought I just needed sex. That’s why I looked for a girl right after the win. Because hugging Charlotte had felt too good and suddenly I was imagining squeezing her boobs and her ass and knew something was wrong. I thought sex would fix that. Clearly, I was wrong.

“You’re drunk.”

“Mm. Not really. Your scent is so good it makes me dizzy.”

I froze.

Fuck.

Why was she making my heart race this much?

I should have set her back. I should have put her in the bed and sat in the kitchen until morning.
