My Best Friend Brother

Episode 32

Adam’s POV

Ariel motions for both of us to take a seat on the long white couch situated in the middle of the living room. I sit at one end, all while holding my glare at Landon and him doing the same. He makes sure to take the other end on the couch, leaving a reasonable amount of distance between us.

“This is what’s gonna happen.” Ariel says as she stands in front of us, pacing back and forth a little. “I’ll ask one of you a question and you answer it truthfully. Rules are that the other person can’t speak while the next is talking.” Ariel explains to both of us.
We both just nod our heads, knowing that Ariel isn’t the best person to be around when angry.
Of course she’s sweet and has a kind heart, but when she’s mad, she’s a whole different person and sometimes becomes intimidating, even to me. But f–k, she’s hot when she’s angry.

I shake my head slightly, ridding my mind from the pointless and irrelevant thoughts at the moment. Now’s not the time.
“Now Landon, why don’t you go first?” Ariel suggests and I can’t help but not like the idea.
“Hey, why does he get to go first?” My voice comes out in a whine, much to my dismay.
Ariel can’t help but to roll her eyes playfully at this and decides she’ll let me go first to avoid any trouble, which makes me smile.
“How do you feel about Landon?” Is the first question that she asks.
“Simple. I hate his f—–g guts.” I shrug my shoulder nonchalantly. Ariel seems taken back by my blunt response for a second and I don’t even care to look at Landon’s expression.
“Oh… Why? You guys use to be best friends” Is the next question that she chooses to ask. Yet, another simple question.
“He knew how I felt about you and yet he still chose to make a move on you. Who does that to their best friend?” I reply, while not even giving Landon a glance.
She nods her head understandably and turns her gaze to the boy next to me. “Is what Adam’s saying, true?” She inquires, raising a questioning eyebrow.

I finally turn my gaze to him, waiting for him to answer the question. “Yes and no.” Landon replies.

We both look at him, urging him to explain.
“Well, I knew he had a thing for you but he never made any move, so then I thought it was a fling.” He shrugs nonchalantly.
“That’s not-” I begin but the glare Ariel gives me makes me stop.
“The rules, Adam.” She warns. I sigh and wait for him to continue.

“I wasn’t trying to steal you away from him or anything, I just decided to ask you out.” He concludes.

“And how did you think that would make me feel?” I fully turn my body to him.
Ariel doesn’t stop me this time, she just watches and let us take the lead from here, especially since the conversation is becoming more intense.

Landon pauses for a moment before he replies, almost as if he’s thinking. Suddenly a sorrowful look appears on his face.
“I-I don’t think I ever thought about it or how it made you feel.” He says as he runs his hand down his face. We all watch in silence as he’s loss in his own thoughts. Suddenly, a humorless chuckle escapes from his lips. “That was a pretty shitty move for me to make, huh?” He looks at me while resting his elbows on his knees thoughtfully.

I guess Landon never thought about the situation as a whole. He just proceeded with his actions, thinking that there wouldn’t be any consequences to them.
“Yeah, it was. A pretty f—-d up move if you ask me.” I can’t help but smile and nudge him playfully. After all that happened, he’s still my best friend and what kind of person would I be if I didn’t forget him. Two wrongs never make one right.
He smiles back at me and then Ariel speaks up.
“So what do you think you both should do now?” Ariel says as she doesn’t even bother to hide the big grin on her face.
“Eat?” Landon suggests in a serious tone.
Ariel rolls her eyes playfully but replies anyways, “No, Landon. Hug!” She squeals.
We both awkwardly get up from the couch and smile at each other sheepishly until we decide to just do a bro hug.
“So we cool now?” Landon asks once we separate.
I think for a moment, “Yeah, man. We cool. Best bros again.” I say and we do a handshake.
“Yay!” Ariel squeals excitedly.
She makes her way over to me, wrapping her arms around my waist, and me wrapping one arm around her shoulder in a side-hug way.
I lean down to kiss her forehead and we both turn our attention to Landon once again.
“I should get going and let you two love birds have some time alone.” He smirks at me.
“Tomorrow?” I ask him, referring to school.
“Yeah, tomorrow.” He says before closing the door and also saying goodbye to Ariel.
I couldn’t help the small smile that was left on my lips. I then turn my whole body to face Ariel and she does the same. “You’re the best, you know that?” I say as I wrap my hands securely around her waist, swaying us slightly.
“Indeed. I do.” She smiles back at me rather smugly as she wraps her hands around my neck, playing the the hairs at the back of my head.
I roll my eyes at her cockiness and lean down my plant a few pecks on her lips. I feel her lips tug up in the smile during the kiss and I can’t help but to smile back.
I let my hands roam lower on her a-s before cupping it, giving it a quick sq££ze. I hear her let out a soft m0an which sends chills throughout my body and straight to my d–k. Trying to gain a little distance between us to prevent her from feeling my f—–g erection pressed up against her isn’t easy, especially when I don’t want to stop kissing her just yet.
“We should stop,” I murmur breathlessly against her lips. “Hmm.” She ignores my plead, kissing me deeper.

I groan while pulling away, obviously not wanting us to stop just yet. “What’s wrong?” She whispers breathlessly once I’ve fully pulled away. My eyes scan her flawless face. From her captivating green eyes to her slightly parted pink lips.

I let my thumb rake over her bottom lip, tugging it down and letting it fall directly back in place. “Nothing.” I say but more to myself.
“Nothing’s wrong.”………
