Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 34

I could feel the anger radiating off of Blake at my  response. He’s tense beside me, stiff as a board.  Austin looks in the rearview mirror and raises his

brow in confusion. “So it’s complicated?” He  questions in a tone full of amusement.

“Yes it’s complicated.” I agreed, because truly it  was. We hadn’t put a label on whatever was going  on and honestly I didn’t know what exactly we  were doing.

All I knew was that I love the way he makes me  feel and those intimate moments had brought us  physically closer. Emotionally, we were drifting  apart.

I turn to face him but he’s facing out of the  window. I feel guilty for dampening his mood. I  sighed and reach over to lace my hand with his. He  stiffens then slowly moves his hand out of mine  and places it on his gym bag.

My heart hurts and I blink back tears. I breathed  out a shaky breath and left him alone.

“Directions?” Austin asks, staring at me through  the rearview mirror. After giving him directions to  my house the rest of the ride is in awkward  silence.

Austin stops the truck beside the pavement and  turns around to face me. “Well it was nice meeting  you, Blake’s complicated girlfriend.” He laughs.

“Thank you for the ride.” I said politely and opened  the door. I walked to the back and was surprised  to see Blake already removing the bike. When did  he get out? He places it on the ground and starts  pushing it towards my house.

“You didn’t have to do that.” I mumble softly as I  trail behind him. He continues to push the bike and  rest it on the wall where it usually is. I cross my  arms as he turns around. He opens his mouth then  closes it, like he wanted to say something.

“Goodnight Ley.” He sighs and sidesteps me,  walking pa*s me. I bite my bottom lip roughly and  swiftly turn around to stare at his departing back.
