Page 42 of Hers to Kiss
Keke stared at him for a few moments then continued her work in silence. There was so much left unsaid, but Keke had made a promise. Not only about his mother, but also about how she could never fall for Peter.
And she never broke her word.
Except for that kiss…

Bertie walked away as quickly as her short legs could take her. Anger burned in her heart and stung the back of her eyes. She wiped away the onslaught of tears that poured down her cheeks. Friendship meantnothingto Keke.Nothing!What was their number one rule?
All she asked was that Keke leave him alone. For one week.She couldn’t keep her hands off him for one week?
And now she was kissing Peter. She was going to ruin everything.
Bertie sputtered, a profound sense of loneliness overwhelming her. For so long, she’d been carrying this burden of her mother’s illness alone, and she thought she had an ally in her best friend. Finally, someone who understood what she was going through and could help.
She would never trust anyone again.
Especially not her so-called best friend.
There was only one thing she could do: make sure Peter never wanted to see Keke again.
