Chapter 34 - Cassidy
Hate is a strong word. And I reserve the use of it for very select individuals. For example, I HATE Brant Jones. I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns.
Well, a new name has been added to my hate list. Ryōta Shiraishi has taken the second slot on my list. And he is uncomfortably close to tying Brant as the worst person I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting.
I’d have laid that old man out if I hadn’t wanted to get in trouble at the hospital. He’d get a room of his own.
What kind of parent thinks it’s okay to cut their child off from anyone but them? That’s toxic shit right there.
I spent the rest of Sunday researching laws regarding child abuse. I swear if I find he’s done anything illegal, I will make sure he pays for it.
So far, I’ve turned up nothing. And given what the Frost boys had to say, they’ve made no headway either.
Though I did get to put Jane in her place. I’m so over her shit.
And wit

I knew I screwed up when my hand made contact with her skin. As nice as it was to feel her thigh’s soft skin, I knew I’d fucked up. She went rigid and bolted. Not just from her chair but the room. As she rushed out, everyone looked at her, then at me. Cause obviously, it’s my fault Forrest arched an eyebrow, watching me with interest with his cast up on another chair and crutches blocking a third, making his own little isolation space where no one could bother him. I needed to go after her, but I couldn’t exactly do that without drawing more attention. I need a diversion. As if hearing my silent plea or my brain working overtime to come up with one, Forrest came to the rescue. Taking a black marker from his bag and holding it up in the air, he let out a sharp whistle. “Yo! Who wants to sign my cast!?” He exclaimed to the room. And bam, all eyes went from me. No one cared why Cassidy rushed out like that. Everyone was clamoring to g

I don’t like that he has a point. I don’t want to think about how much trouble being friends with Brant could someday bring my brother. Brant always finds a way to push blame from himself to others.I don’t want that to be James’ wake-up call. I don’t want him getting in trouble, especially with the law, to be how he learns his lesson about Brant. I just don’t know how to get through to James for him to wake up sooner. “As sweet, I suppose it is that you are worried… if that’s the right word… for James. I’ll deal with him. And if he doesn’t learn before it’s too late….” I frowned as we hurried through the cold into the hospital. “He’ll learn it the hard way. And as his sister, I will be there. I will pull him back to his feet and help dust him off.” I sighed. Collin sighed, shaking his head. “I guess I won’t understand it. Being an only child and all. You oddly have more patience for him than you do anyone else. He should seriously count

Yes, I know exactly what she wants me to explain. I called her my girlfriend. It was the heat of the moment, and I just said the first thing that came to mind. I didn’t like how the old asshole was talking to her. Though I mean shit, Cassidy didn’t need me to stand up for her. She didn’t need my protection from his harsh words. No. If anyone needed protection from harsh, cutting words, it was Mister Shiraishi. Because fuck, my girl has the sharpest tongue in the world. Her words are her blade, and it is always razor-sharp. “You know exactly what. Don’t give me that shit. You called me your girlfriend. I don’t recall agreeing to that. Then again, I don’t recall you even asking.” Cassidy poked me hard in the center of my chest. I chuckled. I probably shouldn’t, especially as those emerald eyes narrowed at me with annoyance. But it’s funny, and Cassidy is so damn cute I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her senseless. I want to kiss her

Collin is the biggest dork in the greater Boston area. His reaction to me agreeing to be his girlfriend was hilarious and adorable. However, I was given so much shit from my coworkers after he left. The following day as I was getting ready to leave with James to wait at the bus stop, my breath caught in my lungs. Collin was leaning on his car with that same dopey grin on his face. “Morning, Red!” He greeted. “Thought you might appreciate a ride.” “You’re one of those morning people, aren’t you?” I frowned at how cheery he was. “Not exactly. Just been in a good mood since yesterday.” He shrugged. “What is going on? What happened yesterday?” James questioned, furrowing his brow. “Not your business, but Collin asked me out yesterday, and I said yes.” I shrugged. “You did WHAT!?” James shouted. “Dude, keep it down. Are you getting in or what? I had to give up shotgun for this!” Justin shouted, poking his out the backseat window. “Yes! The horror h
Expect The Unexpected Chapter 39 - Collin
These last few days of being publicly known as Cassidy’s boyfriend have rocked. I get to drive her to and from school. If I’m not at work or something for basketball, I’ve even taken her to and from work.I didn’t expect her to go to Friday’s game, even though she had an excellent excuse for a work shift. I don’t think she’s that kind of girlfriend, and I’m cool with that. But work or not, I wasn’t going to expect her to show up and cheer me on.My mom’s happy about us dating. She’s got some grand idea that I will suddenly get better at math by association. I keep telling her that’s not how it works. Dad, well, I think he knows we’re dating. He hasn’t said anything but that requires talking to me and being involved in my life.But I think the best part of dating her is getting alone time with her. It isn’t always a make-out session, and I’m cool with that.

While I am over the moon that Riko is no longer under her father’s tyrannical rule, I couldn’t get my mind off what happened after her call. I should have focused on texting the girls about visiting. Instead, my mind is on Collin. Once he left, I hurried back to my room, locking the door. I know I left him hanging. But he’s not the only one that was left unfulfilled. I shocked myself by going that far with him. I’d thought I would feel the usual panic and fear when he pulled my hips flush to him so I could feel his hard-on. But it didn’t. I didn’t feel panic or anxiety. No, I felt hunger, desire, a need I haven’t really felt in so long. I gave into that feeling until it started to scare me. Because as good as it felt, I knew if things stayed on that path, I was heading to an area that probably would trigger me. I don’t think I’m ready for that. Plus, my moms and dumb brother are home. I was lucky that mamá convinced mom to let Collin come up to my room, let alone with the door clo

Despite that Forrest can’t play, the guy is still here at Saturday practice, even if it’s just to warm the bench. His brothers dropped him off on their way to work for one of their parents. No clue which job they are working today. I hope they don’t slack off after their dad’s lecture yesterday.“You look way too happy, Collin.” Forrest taunted.He’s not wrong. I’ve had this damn smile on my face since last night. Sure we only dry-humped, but that’s a big step for Cassidy. And then I didn’t manage to screw up by sending that pic and video. She even admitted to getting off watching.So to say I’m in a good mood would be an understatement. I can’t imagine anything dampening my smile today. I spoke too soon. James Summers just made his way onto the other end of the court with the JV team.“You’re one to talk. Haven’t seen you or your brothers smile this much since

I was glad to see Amy join in the conversation more after dropping James off. If he’s done anything more to mess with her, I’ll kick his ass. I don’t want to put her on the spot about it, so I’ll ask her about that later when it’s just us.“Okay, so we should totally stop in the gift shop to get her something.” Amy suggested.“You mean if the Frost boys have already filled her room with flowers.” Aleesha laughed as we made our way into the hospital.“Knowing them, that’s possible.” I laughed.I wouldn’t put it past the brothers to have made up for lost time and stockpiled her room with her favorite flowers. I don’t even know what her favorite flower is now that I think about it.
