Chapter Thirty-One
Waking up in the arms of Miles has quickly become my favourite thing to do.
I roll my head back to see his peaceful expression. A soft sound emits from his mouth as he breathes deeply. I smile and trace my fingers down in a defined jawline.
"Mm," he mumbles softly.
"Good morning," I say to him.
"Morning," he replies sleepily.
He suddenly stretches and yawns at the same time and I openly ogle him as he does.
I smile as I watch him rub his sleepy eyes and peer around the room, looking adorably drowsy.
Eventually, after spending a long time wrapped in his arms, I shower and dress into a pair of denim shorts and a loose-fitting tee. When I re-enter my room, Miles is still on the bed, however, now dressed in the outfit he wore last night
My steps falter for a moment. Seeing him, casually laying on my bed, is so like how it used to be. I can't stop the smile from spreading across my face.

The soft feel of Miles' fingers rubbing circles in my shoulders makes me sigh in content."Mmm," I encourage with a smile. "Keep going.""You're tense," he tells me with a frown."It's been a stressful week," I sigh.It's Friday and I could not be happier that this week from hell is almost over. I don't know what was worse, having three assessments all due today, or having Samara continually make snide remarks to me, making me feel worthless. I'm so lucky to have Kiarra and Miles by my side, otherwise, I probably would have had an anxiety attack or an emotional breakdown by now.I had only just accepted the fact that I'd lost my best friend. I didn't expect to gain a bully. I should have expected things to be bad, but I didn't think it would be this bad. It seems like years of friendship mean nothing to her."You definitely don't want to go to the party?" he asks me.I lean back into his touch. He removes his ha

I don't know what is funnier, the fact that I had to physically wheel Finn out of the hospital in a wheelchair, or the fact that he fell over when he stood up. I am also questioning whether I am a terrible person for laughing before helping him."Stupid dumb leg, who needs it anyway?" Finn growls under his breath as I help him up the porch steps."They're pretty important," I reply with an eye roll, bearing more of his weight than I am probably capable of.My knees buckle and I quickly catch him before he falls. He shoots a scowl in my direction and I grimace, dragging him through the doorway.When we get inside, I guide him straight to the lounge room. Considering both our rooms are upstairs, he is now going to be sleeping in the lounge room. Mum spent the morning turning the room into a good setup for Finn, so that he has everything he may need or want. She has also set up a table beside the bed."Look at you, getting the royal trea

"Are you staring?""No..." I trail off sheepishly."I think you might be," he teases.I pout. "I can't help it. You're so adorable when you're sleepy."A lazy smile spreads across Miles' face as he peers down at me through his half-closed lid."Thanks, babe."My stomach flutters at his word choice. I reach up and run my fingers through his ashy blond hair. He lets out a deep sound of agreement in the back of his throat, before pushing his head harder into my nails, reminding me of a cat that wants to be scratched.After cuddling up to Miles for longer than I intended, I reluctantly leave him to shower and get changed into a loose sundress. While Miles showers, I head downstairs, to see that Finn is lightly snoring in the lounge room, his mouth open as he lays in an unattractive sprawl.I walk over to him and poke him in the cheek."Ergh," he groans and swats my hand away lethargically."Wake up, slee

Miles' POV:Having slept by Isobel's side several times now has made sleeping on my own feel lonely and cold.I glance over to the empty left side of the bed, imagining what it would be like to wake up with her, every morning. The soft sun rays would fall across her smooth skin. Her brown eyes would peer up at me, so sleepy and peaceful. Her lips would smile as she mumbled, "good morning" to me.Suppressing a groan, I roll onto my back and stare up at the patchy white ceiling. If only that was my reality.My door swings open and I snap my head up, to see Emily enter."Do you have a lighter?" she asks me, leaning on my door frame, dressed in a short shirt and lacey underwear.I roll my eyes at her over-the-top attention-seeking. She doesn't need one, she just wants me to see her half-naked."No, fuck off," I snarl at her and fling my arm over my face."Why are you such a dick these da

"You're an idiot.""I think you mean charming?""No, I mean idiot," I huff as I grit my teeth together, pulling Finn from out of the passenger seat of my car."I've gone from practice and working out almost every day, to nothing. Ineedthis," he whines to me and pouts, making my glare soften."Yeah, I know," I reply quietly as I loop my hand around his waist, to make sure he doesn't fall, while I fling the door shut with my other. I swiftly press the button on my keys and hear the distinct click as the doors lock.He pushes off from the car and straightens. I pass him one crutch, and then the other. He settles his arms over them and wriggles for a moment, before getting comfortable."Ready?" I ask."Yep."I walk slowly beside him as he hobbles towards the entrance of the gym. I feel really stupid bringing my brother, with a broken leg, to the gym, but he insists. As I hold the door open for him

I take my seat near the back of the classroom and lean back into the uncomfortable, plastic chair. I roll my blue bio between my thumb and forefinger as I absently watch Jai lean over and whisper something into Kiarra's ear. She giggles and I smile at them, looking away.A few seconds later, Miles strolls in, his books loosely held in his hand, with his sunglasses deeply embedded into his blond locks. He is the only one that wears his sunnies in school, but he looks hot when he does.I smile at him as he makes his way towards my desk and collapses beside me, his aftershave washing over me, smelling delicious."Good morning lovely," he greets me and pecks my cheek, not caring that several people glance towards us as he does.I feel a blush warm my skin as I smile shyly back at him. "Morning."Once he has his desk organised, he leans back, throwing his arm over the back of my chair, his fingers scraping against my shoulder blades, makin
Bad Liar Chapter Thirty-Eight
As I walk up the driveway towards Miles' share house, the sun beats down onto my skin and I tilt my head back. My hair is wrapped in a loose bun on the top of my head, allowing the humid air and the heat of the sun to brush my face.I sweep my eyes over the overgrown lawn, where four cars and Miles' motorbike are spread messily across it. I recognise Damon's truck and Emily's Mazda. The other two vehicles I have never seen before.Like always, the front door is ajar. I step inside and am engulfed with hipster music blaring from one of the speakers in the lounge room and a stench of stale cigarettes in the musky air. I make my way down the hallway quickly, trying to move as fast, but as quietly as possible.I arrive at Miles' door with no incidents and step inside without knocking. Miles is perched at his splintered desk, one of his long legs scooped under him, the other folded to his chest, his chin resting on his knee. He has a blue
Bad Liar Chapter Thirty-Nine
The news that Finn is back at school, has spread like wildfire through the students.The Boys drove him and carried his bags, while girls fawned over his injury, offering to help in any way, much to Becca's annoyance."It sucks, falling for one of the most popular boys in the year," Becca frowns as she watches a blonde-haired girl help, Finn, to his feet."Tell me about it," I agree, having been through it all myself, with Miles.She gives me a sympathetic smile, before pushing from the table and marching towards the girl. Finn's face lights up when he sees her and it makes me smile. He is completely in love with her.Considering Kiarra is on suspension, from the incident with Samara, I'm left flying solo until Miles arrives. I scroll through Instagram for a few minutes, before a shadow looms over me."Good morning," he chirps, kissing my cheek."Hi," I smile up at him.His fingers brush my cheek as he tucks a pie
