Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 104

Roman

“Surprised to see me here?” I can’t help but ask.

The words come out all forced because of how furious ! am. First, it was the photo of fucking Sebastian with his arm around her. Then came the info that they were in a café together. What the fuck?

What’s wrong with her?

“Why wouldn’t I be?” she shoots back, slamming the door shut and tossing her handbag on the nearest couch without looking.

I step toward her, seething. “You’re doing all of this to provoke me, aren’t you? What the hell is wrong with you?

I leave you for a second and you’re with someone else?”

She scoffs and folds her arms. “If you didn’t want me to be with anyone else, then Mayne you should never have left.”

“Nicole,” I grit out, “you don’t get it, do you? You never understand anything!”

“Now you’re calling me stupid!” she exclaims in disbelief before pointing at the door. “Get out! I’m a free woman. I can do whatever I want. You have no claim to me, my heart, or anything about me. Not anymore.”

A bitter laugh escapes me. “You’re gonna stand there and pretend that you didn’t meet up with Sebastian toprovoke me?”

“No, actually. I didn’t think you’d be psycho enough to have someone follow me. Look, I’m done with this. I’ve had a long fucking morning and I’m not going to waste any more time on you! I’ve already wasted enough of it, you…you coward! How dare you come here?”

“You’re the one who forces me to do shit like this. Can’t you see that!?” I yell. “You drive me right out of my” fucking mind. You’re acting like I left because I wanted you. This separation is killing me and you’re making a big joke out of it!”

Nikki shakes her head at me. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

can’t bear to watch you get hurt again. I need you to be safe. If anything happens to you, I’ll eat a bullet and end my shit existence, because nothing makes sense if you’re not by my side.”

“And yet you left me all by myself when I’m going through the hardest time of my life! You’re not the one who almost got raped; I was! And I fucking needed you, Roman. I needed you by my side so it could all go away!”

Tears slip from her eyes. I step toward her instinctively with the impression that my heart is bleeding, but she puts a hand up and says loudly, “No, don’t come any closer. I don’t need you anymore. Now, you can leave and have your much-needed space for as long as you want. Go to hell!”I run a hand down my face and watch her try to dry her face. If looks could kill, I’d be dead by now. Really fucking dead. “I didn’t mean to make you feel abandoned. I was thinking about your safety. I think about you every second of every day, baby.”

She shakes her head at me. “Don’t start. I’m immune to your lies by now.”

“So now they’re lies?”

Nikki opens the door wide. “Out. I don’t want to see you ever again. You want space? You’ve got it.”

“Nikki…

“You don’t care about me. I’m just a booty call for you. If you truly loved me, you’d understand that I’d rather be at risk my whole life than be away from you. You selfish prick. You dick! If it weren’t for Sebastian today, I’d-”

Anger washes over me and before I know it, I’m standing right in front of her and I push her against the wall. “Don’t say his name. Ever. Again.”

“What, you’re gonna hit me now?”

“I’ll hit him. Every word you say is his condemnation.”
