My Boyfriend's Best Friend | SAMPLE ONLY

I was what?

I was what?!

This had been swirling around my brain all goddamn day, and I was still no clearer.

"Partyyyyyyy," I hear Eden whisper in my ear, before waving her phone in front of my face with excitement.

"Another one?"

Eden shoots me a look of disdain before she throws her hair over her shoulder dramatically.

"Hayden is twenty-one, silly. So it's not just any party."

Hayden was Calums older brother, and he was pretty much a carbon copy of his brother.

A playboy, basically.

"Where's it at?" I mumble, peeling open the yoghurt lid as Eden squeals excitedly.

"It's at their house. Their parents are leaving them the house for the weekend, can you believe that?"

I stare at her blankly.

"Are they insane?"

Eden snorts then, as Calum walks up behind her, burying his face in her neck. She turns a deep red as she bats him away, but he lifts his head up to greet me instead.

"Yo."

"Are you two getting it on?" I ask bluntly, scooping the yoghurt into my mouth as Calum grins.

"She wants it, but doesn't everyone?"

Calum pulls her onto his lap as she pretends to resist, but I can see the happiness in her eyes.

This wasn't going to end well.

"Urgh, you wish," Eden laughs, as I notice her hands resting on his. Calum doesn't make a move to stop her either, which is odd.

Could it be that he was catching feelings?

"Guess who Kat tried to set me up with last night," giggles Eden, twisting her hair around her finger as Calum frowns at me, a look of annoyance in his eyes.

"No idea. Who?"

I'm gazing at Eden in disbelief, wondering what happened to the 'keep it between us' speech she'd given last night.

"Jesse," she smirks coyly, clearing enjoying the look on Calums face as he rolls his eyes.

"How did that go? Considering he hates Kat and likes older girls."

"How do you even know that?" I snap, as Calum turns to look at me with amusement.

"What, that he hates you or that he likes older girls?" he teases, as Eden frowns at me.

"Connor said he doesn't hate her-"

"Yes, because Connor is trying to be nice," Calum explains, shifting Eden onto the bench beside him as she pouts with disappointment. "It's one of those things, best friends for life, till you meet the wife. That kinda thing. He misses his buddy."

"Wife?" I echo, as I look up to see Jesse hesitating at the head of our table. Eden points at the seat beside me, smiling flirtatiously as Jesse sighs.

"Who's getting married?"

Calum looks at me meaningfully before smirking.

"Connor and Katherine. We're just talking about their wedding."

I flush beside him as his knee touches mine, making me jump instinctively. He doesn't look at me, and I scowl.

"There is no wedding. We were actually talking about older girls and younger guys," Eden smiles, as I send her a grateful look.
