Chapter 11


( Liam) POV

Ryan wasn't in the room. What the f^ck? Where did he go? I thought. I walked in. My eyes darted across the room. Where the hell was he? I bent down and looked underneath my bed. He wasn't there. He wasn't under Jason's bed either. I searched the closet..... the bathroom.. everywhere. But, he wasn't there. My best friend was looking at me with an expression that said, "you are crazy."

He stared at me and frowned. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Liam, are you okay?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, um, I just thought I dropped something." I lied.

Jason stared at me, his eyes squinting.

"You're acting weird." He said.

He paced the room, and suddenly stopped. He was standing by the window. Then he sniffed. "Do you smell that?" Jason asked.

"No." I replied.

"It smells like... Ryan." Jason's face hardened.

My heart stopped.

SHIT. 

Jason knew his brother's scent? What the fuck? I was getting scared.

"What are you talking about?" I stuttered.

"I can perceive Ryan's scent. Aren't you smelling it? Jason repeated.

"I don't smell anything." I lied.

I could smell Ryan. His scent was strong and was lingering in the air.

His cologne was very distinct. It was woodsy and musky, with a hint of spice. I could not get enough of his scent. He shook his head.

"Nevermind." Jason replied.

But he wasn't convinced either. He walked around a bit and stopped again.

"Did my brother stop by?" He asked.

"No." I replied.

Jason didn't reply. "Are you sure?" He asked.

"Positive." I lied.

Jason shook his head. "I can swear that the room smells like him."

He started to walk around.

"He always uses the same cologne. The one I got him for his birthday. I can smell it. It's the same one." He said. Then he turned and faced me.

"Are you sure he didn't stop by?" He asked.

"Yea." I replied quickly. "I just came back from Brandon's dorm a few minutes ago. No one has been here."

Jason shrugged.

"Hmm, it's probably nothing." He said.

Thank, God. He seemed to have dropped the subject. He took off his sweater and threw it on the bed. His long black hair fell around his shoulders.

"I'm exhausted." Jason sighed.

"Me too." I replied.

Jason sat on the bed.

"Cole and I were fighting again." He blurted out.

"You guys are always fighting." I told her.

Jason smiled.

"True." He said. "But, this time it was different. I was really angry. I think Cole is cheating on me."

I was surprised.

"Really? Why do you think that?" I asked.

"Just a hunch." He replied.

I didn't know what to say. Cole and Jason have been dating for quite a while now, and they have had their share of fights. But, they had one of the strongest relationships that I had ever seen. They were very committed to each other. I sat beside Jason, I could see that his eyes were a bit swollen. He must have been crying.

"Why would he cheat on you?" I asked. "Cole loves you. Everyone knows that. He would never hurt you." I said.

"Maybe. But he has been really distant lately." Jason replied.

I placed my hand around his shoulder and gave him a side hug.

"If Cole cheats on you, he is an idiot. You're handsome, smart, funny, and a fckin great catch. If Cole can't see that, then he is a fool." I told him.

"Thank you." Jason chuckled and then he wiped his eyes. A brief silence passed between us.

"So what happened with Brandon?" He suddenly asked.

"What?" I replied.

"You said you went to his dorm. What happened? Did you return his shirt? What happened when he saw you?" Jason questioned.

Shit! I had forgotten about Brandon.The situation with Ryan had completely driven Brandon out of my mind.

"Umm....yes, actually. We talked. He likes me and he also asked me out." I blurted out.

"WHAT?" Jason jumped off the bed.

"Wait! Did you say yes? Liam,oh my god! What did you say??!!!" Jason was so excited for me.

I laughed a little. The guilt of making out with Ryan  crept over me."I said yes. We have a date Saturday night. He's going to the movies with his friends and he invite me too. Isn't that cool?" I asked.

"Liam!" Jason hugged me and screamed.

"I'm so happy for you." He shrieked.

I had never seen him this excited. I guess Jason had always wanted me to go out with someone.

"Thanks, Jason." I smiled.

"We have to pick out the perfect outfit. You have to wear something casual but more eye catchy Like, a body hug shirt. Or maybe a crop top to show off your stomach I'm thinking black. Definitely black." Jason was going crazy.

I laughed. I stood up from him bed and went over to my closet to grab my nightwear, before flopping down on my bed.

" Never I don't dress you and Good night Jason." I said.



The next day was Friday.

Classes were boring. My mind kept wondering. I was anxious about my date with Brandon. I couldn't wait for Saturday.

But I also found my mind drifting towards Ryan.

The kisses we shared in my room. His hands on my naked body. His fingers in and out of me.

I felt a surge of guilt every time I thought about him.

What if Jason found out?

I would never be able to forgive myself.

How could I let this happen? How could I make out with my best friend's brother?

Also, if he hadn't shown up, I don't know how far we would have gone.

"Ughh." I placed my face on the table.

"Are you okay, Liam?" Someone tapped my shoulder.

I turned around and looked. It was Brandon. He was wearing a tight-fitted black t-shirt and blue jeans. His hair was slicked back and he was looking straight at me.

I almost choked.

"Oh. Hey Brandon" I said.

Brandon sat down next to me. "Hey Liam."

He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheeks. My heart jumped. I smiled but deep down I was guilt-ridden.

"So, are you excited for Saturday?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Yes. Very." I replied.

"Me too." He said.

"I was wondering if I could get your number. So I can call or text you when I'm on the way." He said.

"Oh. Sure." I smiled and handed him my phone. He dialed his number and his cellphone vibrated.

"There." He grinned.

Then he took out his cell phone and pressed a few buttons.

"Ok. Got yours too." He winked.

"Cool." I replied.

Brandon smiled and leaned closer. "Can I tell you a secret?" He whispered.

"Yes." I whispered.

"I've been thinking about you since yesterday." He said.

"Really?" My heart pounded.

"Yes." He said. "Every single minute. I've thought of you."

"Oh." My cheeks turned red. His face was so close to mine and his hand held unto my waist.

He moved closer and closer. My breathing became more rapid. Brandon chuckled. "I hope you don't mind, but can I steal a kiss?"

I froze.

A KISS? In front of the entire class? Was he trying to make a statement? Brandon was leaning in closer. My eyes widened. I looked around and noticed that the entire class was watching. "Um, I guess. But only a small one." I closed my eyes and waited.

"Sorry Liam, but I'm not going for a small kiss." Brandon whispered.

My heart skipped a beat.

"I'm going for a full kiss." He said.

He placed his hands around my face and tilted my chin. Our lips met and a shockwave coursed through me. I moaned.The kiss deepened.His tongue swirled around my mouth, teasing me. Then he bit down on my bottom lip. The kiss was intense and passionate.

Brandon was kissing me so hard. In front of EVERYONE!!!! He groaned. His teeth tugged at my lips, sucking and biting them. I was losing control. My legs shook and my body trembled. The entire class was silent. When the kiss was over, I was out of breath. Brandon was smiling. He grabbed my hand and lifted it up.

"Everyone, this is Liam and He is mine."
