In love With A 30-Year-Old Man (Complete√)

Chapter 1: Trying

Nikki's POV

I woke up to a sound of my alarm ringing through the room. It was really loud that my ears would be deaf, so I turned it off and got up. I really hate mornings, every time I wake up loud noises disturbed me from sleeping. I went to the bathroom and take a shower. After that I wore an orange crop top, a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of combat boots.

I make my way down to the dining table and the scent of pancakes are present in the air. My adopted brother Nathan was sitting there munching those pancakes while mom and dad are... cuddling together in their seats.

I rolled my eyes and said," Can you guys stop the PDA?" I said, ruining their moment.

They looked at me and let go of each other as mom chuckles," Get used to it, Nikki, I know you and your boyfriend are like that."

I was about to take a piece of my pancakes when mom mentioned the word 'boyfriend'. Wow, I haven't heard that word since last night. I was so close to forgetting Jared, but then mom has to opened up a topic about Jared.

I just fake smiled at her," Oh no, not all the time, mom."

"So, how's it going with you and Jared?" Mom asked, taking a piece of her pancakes.

Damn it. I don't even know what to say, mom the only thing I could say is that Jared and I broke-up last night I thought.

I bite my lip and sighed," Uhm, everything's fine with us," I lied.

"Are you sure?"

No," Yes."

"Okay," She finishes her pancakes and gets up. I can sense dad is looking straight at me.

I glanced at him and his expression is very blank," I'm not gonna believe in that 'everything's fine with us' sentence, Nikki. Tell me, is something wrong between you and him?"

I shook my head in denial," No, nothing's wrong, dad, why wouldn't you believe me?"

He seems to be not buying what I said but eventually he gives up and finishes his pancakes.

I hop inside the passenger seat while Nathan sits at the driver's seat. He starts the engine and pulled out onto the street. Nathan is a year older than me and as I mentioned earlier he is adopted. Why? Because he was really kind and caring. I should've believed and listened to him that Jared is a playboy jackass motherfucker. Oops! I should watch my words on him next time.

"Nik, I know you were totally lying about the 'everything's fine with us' thing," Oh for fuck's sake, can someone just stop putting up negative comments on my 'everything's fine with us' sentence. I know I'm lying but I'm not ready to tell'em yet, I don't want Jared to get hurt.

I sighed angrily,"Nathan, don't get me started with that shit. I already told you guys that nothing's wrong with-"
