Letting My Brother's Best Friend Take My V-Card

PART 3 - CHAPTER 142 JESS

I stood there, staring at the blond guy in front of me, my mind completely blank. No words, no memories, nothing. I had no idea what to say. His face was set in a scowl, his arms crossed, muscles straining under the thin fabric of his shirt.

Whoever I was a month ago, apparently, I had a type. At least when it came to build. Every guy I seem to have had some form of relationship with was built like a Greek god.

I'd been getting text messages from someone named Aiden for a while now-confusing messages.

When are you coming back? / Are you giving up your future and staying there? If that's what he's asking, it's fucking ridiculous.

And then, two days ago, the last one: I'm done.

I blinked up a thim. Putting puzzle pieces together. "Aiden?" The word slipped out of my mouth, hanging awkwardly between us, more like a question than a greeting.

"Laura told me I have a roommate. You must be... Sofie?"

She smiled softly, a look of pity flashing across her face though she tried to hide it. Everyone looked at me like that these days- like they were tiptoeing around me, afraid I'd break-everyone except the angry guy glaring at me from behind her. "That's right," she said, her smile more genuine this time. "I hope it's okay that I spoke with Laura. She called and told me everything, so don't worry, okay? It's all good. I'll show your around... again like I did the first day."

Sofie was sweet, and I appreciated how she didn't push for more. My head was already pounding, a dull throb that made it hard to focus.
