I delete myself from the group chat because fuck those guys.
But of course my phone pings with another text.
*Isaiah has added you to a group chat*

The guys have no idea what they’re talking about. Yes, Ciara is drop-dead gorgeous and yes, I would love nothing more than to spend a night between her luscious thighs. But that’s it. I’m not some lovesick puppy trying to get her to fall for me. Love isn’t in the cards for me. That’s just a fact of life. If the dreams I’ve been having lately are any indication, then I definitely need to let go of any hope of anything happening with her. And yet…
Fuck it.I head over to Sasha’s because I want a goddamn muffin and I’m entitled to it.
“Oh look, if it isn’t my little brother. I’m shocked to see you today,” Sasha mocks.
“You’re a pain in my ass. I come in here to see my favorite sister and this is how you treat me?”
“I’m one hundred percent telling Reggie you said that.”
“Go ahead. She’s my favorite sister when I’m with her, so she won’t believe you.”
“So who’s your favorite sister when we’re all together?”
I shrug. “You’ll never know.”
She rolls her eyes and continues wiping down the counter. “Whatever. Anyway, Ciara isn’t here right now. Just putting that out there.”
