My Best Friend Brother

Episode 26

Ariel’s POV….
I come home from school and plop down on the long grey couch and then let out a long, tired sigh. School is seriously killing me right now. Moments later, Adam walks casually down the stairs boredly but his face morphs into a smile when he sees me. “I didn’t know you were coming here today.” He states as he plops down next to me.

“Parents aren’t home,” I reply shortly as I position myself to lie on his lap. “How was your first day of suspension?” I ask as I yawn lightly.
“Would’ve been better if you were here.” He replies as he moves the hair from my face.
I smiled up at him and he smiled back. I then flinch as a pain shoots through my shoulders and I rotate them to relieve some of the pain as I groan slightly.

“Are you okay?” Adam asks worriedly as he sits up straighter. “Yeah yeah. I’m just a little tense.” I admit as I gaze upon his concerned features.

“How about a massage?” He asks.
“Oh my God, that would feel so good right now.” I reply as I get up from his lap.
“Good now get started.” He says as he slouches and looks at me expectantly.
I chuck one of the couch’s pillows at him as he grabs and laughs at me while replying, “I’m kidding. Geez, woman.”

He stands up while still chuckling to himself and stands behind the couch and I relax when I feel his cold, rough hands on my shoulder.
“Just like that?” Adam whispers as he continues to work his fingers expertly across my shoulders.

“Yeah…” I say as I let out another sigh due to the relaxing feeling. I couldn’t help but let a small m0an come from my lips as I tilt my head to the side.

I feel Adam’s hands tense on my shoulders as his grip tightens slightly. I then instantly start to feel the absence of his fingers.
“Adam?” I say when I don’t hear him
I stay quiet for a second after not hearing a reply until I decide to call out for him again.
“Ad-” I start to say but stop when I feel his lips on the nape of my neck. My eyes slowly flutter close as his lips work on my neck at the same time as his hands start back to massage my shoulders.

I bite my lip trying to hold in another m0an that is trying to force its way out.
I let my fingers tangle in his brown locks and I hear him inhale from behind me.
“You drive me crazy, you know that?” He questions and not even a second later and his lips are on my neck again.
“Hmm.” Is my only reply.

All of a sudden, I’m startled as I hear keys jingling on the outside of the door and I hear Adam curse to himself as he quickly sits on the couch while covering his boner with a pillow.
“Oh, Ariel! What a pleasant surprise.” Lily says with a grocery bag in her hand.
“Hey, Mrs. Haynes.” I respond trying to catch my breath.

“Oh don’t mind me. I just came to pick up some files once again and drop off some groceries.” She claims. “Adam, I hope you’ve still been studying even though you’re home?” She continues as she raises an eyebrow at him questioningly.

He tries to get the lie, ‘yes’ from out of his mouth but it comes out hoarse due to his problem so he just nods eagerly.

“I’m sorry about that again.” I say apologetically while referring to the fact that Adam basically got sent home because of me.
“Oh hush, dear. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t expecting this. I mean, you’re beautiful and Adam doesn’t have the best temper so it’s no secret that boys still find you attractive.” She compliments while I blush saying a small thank you. “I hope Adam just knows to control it next time.” She says as she glares at him with him rolling his eyes.

I laugh at their relationship but even laugh louder when I hear his mother mumble, “I gave birth to clowns.”

“Love you too!” He shouts back as she grabs her files and leaves the house although his voice is slightly husky.

I let my eyes linger on the closed door a little longer than necessary as I try to avoid the slightly awkward silence that we’re in now.
“I’ll just… take a bath now.” He says as he walks away but not before whispering, “I f—–g hate cold showers.” Which makes me smile to myself……
