Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 45

Anxiety swirls in my stomach as I rocked back and

forth on my heels. I looked at the door trying to

gain enough courage to finally knock. I had been

standing there for about two minutes just gawking

at the wood.

Today was Saturday and I’ve been prolonging to

see, him. I sighed I should’ve come over sooner, it

was my fault that he was suspended. Finally

getting my nerves under control, I lift my hand to

knock.

My fist was an inch away when the door swung

open. Aunty Lily and uncle Asher appear before

me. They looked surprised to see me but smiled

nonetheless.

“Oh Rosalie, It’s been forever. What brings you

here?” Aunt Lily questions pulling me into a warm

hug. Call me weird but I always loved the scent of

her, she smelled like roses.

“You’ll suffocate the girl babe.” Uncle Asher jokes

prying aunt Lily away from me only to give me a

hug himself.

“Haven’t seen you around here for a while kiddo.”

He chuckles playfully ruffling my hair. They weren’t

family. They were my parents bestfriends.

I smile as we pull away from each other. “Sorry for

not coming to see y’all earlier, been busy with

cheer practice.” And it’s true, our captain has been

a raging bitch ever since her college boyfriend

dumped her. She’s been having us practice for

hours and by the time I got home, I would be lost

to dreamland.

I chewed on my bottom lip and force down my

nervousness. “I came to speak to Arden.” I stated.

They looked stunned at my declaration.

I wasn’t surprised at their shocked faces, everyone

knew Arden and I didn’t get along. It would be

absurd for us to even stay in the same room for

five minutes without hurling a plate or something

dangerous at eachother.

We were like water and oil, we never got along,

never mixed well. And he even became a huge

pain in the a*s since he was Liam’s best friend and

I could never get rid of him. He hated my guts and

I hated his. It was that simple.
