Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 70

NICOLE

God, I wish I could say that I'm not bothered at all by Roman, and that all I wanted to do was give him a warning to stay out of my relationship.

But it backfired.

Then again, rage-fueled decisions usually do.

When I caught a glimpse of him while I was leaving the restaurant with Sebastian, I saw red. What was he doing there, I wondered? What did he want? I knew then that he had been watching me throughout lunch. If I had just looked back, I would've seen him.

Is that what he wanted?

Is his ultimate goal to torment me for turning him down? What's this supposed to be, his male bruised ego trying to get back at me?

Now, he's saying he has proof that Haley lied.

And in just supposed to believe that?

As this thought crosses my mind while I'm heading outside to meet Sebastian and his family on the deck, I realize that I have more doubts than I would have some time ago.

Haley's just been...weird. Going through my things—most probably my phone—and disappearing whenever she wishes. I mean, if Mason noticed it, then I'm not being paranoid or even unfair.

Something is off about her.

I shiver races down my spine and I get cold all of a sudden. God, I don't want to think about this. It's almost torturous. This is what that bastard wants, I remind myself.

I hate how easily he can crawl under my skin.

Sebastian was walking ahead with his family and I told him that I needed to go to the bathroom, which is the only way I would I've been able to talk to Ronna without being seen.

His eyes are on me as I approach him, and once I'm by his side, he immediately puts an arm around my shoulders. "Is everything okay? You look a little shaken."

I frown and wave his concern off. "I'm fine."

Usually, he accepts this answer, but this time, he's looking at me in a way that makes me nervous. "I don't believe that."

"What?"

"I don't think you're telling the truth."

His family is standing a few feet away from us, just by the railing of the ship, and judging by the way his mother tilted her head, she's listening to everything we're saying.

"But I am," I insist. It's incredible how offended I am when I'm telling him a lie and I know it.

"But I don't think you are."

I shrug, getting more and more annoyed with each passing second. "What can I do if you don't believe me? I'm not upset. That means I'm not, Sebastian."

"Are we fighting, Nicole?"

"I don't know. Are we, Sebastian?"
