Chapter 103

Easton Oh shit.

Between Harper tossing Blake and Aisha out— something I'd already done and they hadn't listened—and Sadie asking Ryan if he fucked Aisha, I don't know which is more wild.

Maybe it's the possibility that my best friend hadn't fucked anyone before Sadie.

That little player made his way around school, the same way I did.

But he hadn't slept with any of the girls he hooked up with? Now that's mind—blowing.

"Sadie ... '

Ryan starts.

"Don't fucking Sadie me, '

she responds.

I look at my girl who's taken a seat on the couch, staying far away from this argument.

Hell, I don't blame her, it's her brother and his sex life.

That's ano touch zone.

"L need an answer, Ryan.

I need to know the truth if you want this relationship to last a second longer. '

He moves across the room and tries to put his hands on her waist, but she pulls away.

“Answer me, '

she snarls.

His face drops, no longer making eye contact with her.

Oh damn.

I can feel Sadie's anger building from all the way over here.

“You know what kills me the most? '

Ryan says.

"That you're questioning whether I told you the truth or not.

That you listened to her and doubted me. '

"You're turning this around on me? How dare you- '

"You're furious that Aisha made you look like a lunatic outside, chasing after her with a knife when it wasn't true.

Meanwhile, she stuck a knife in my back and you're kicking me while I'm down. '

My eyes are bouncing between Sadie and Ryan, taking in both of their expressions, feeling both sides.

“I need to hear you Say it, '

she whispers.
