Cheyenne has been in love with her brother's best friend, Mateo, for years. Despite the forbidden nature of their attraction, all it takes is one accidental text to reveal her feelings. Now she's finally with the man of her dreams, but is he willing...

I wiped my tears as I laid across my bed, and pulled the covers over my shoulders.
My phone rested on my nightstand, chiming again with yet another text from Elise, I explained to her what had happened, but we hadn't mentioned it to Ayla yet.
I groaned and reached for my phone bringing it under the covers with me, the screen brightness making me squint as I read over her text.
Elly🤍: Bitch no way! where are you?!
-Home.. crying my eyes out.. can I come over to your place? Is Ayla there?
Elly🤍: Yeah boo that's fine, & I can call her and see where she is, let's have a sleepover like old times. I'm sure it'll make you feel a little but better.🥺🤍
-I'd love that.. I'll get up and ready now. Can we watch Mean Girls?😂🥺
Elly🤍: We can watch whatever you want pooks. 🥺🫂Let me know when you're out front, I'll give you the gate code.
I quickly sent her a response before locking my phone and tossing it aside, I quickly wiped my tears as I packed, glad that Eli was gone so I wouldn't have to deal with his questioning of where I was going. No matter how bad the arguments were; we never got violent. So seeing him even raise a hand to hit Mateo, his best friend; it upset me even more.
My birthday was honestly great, turning twenty-five is a milestone for sure. Mateo and I had even talked about moving my stuff out of Eli's... I guess that would be happening sooner than I anticipated.
After getting dressed, I grabbed my keys and rested the strap of my bag over my shoulder, letting out a sigh as I closed my bedroom door I then made my way outside locking the front door behind me. — As I drove, I tried my hardest to keep my emotions together, but the tears began to fall again.
"Come on, Chey you can't drive and cry." I muttered to myself as I came to a stoplight. I wasn't too far from Elly's maybe about fifteen minutes with traffic. I reached a red light pressing my foot against the brakes, sighing as I wiped my tears. I couldn't wait to get ti Elly's, anytime we went through something she was the one that gave Ayla and I advice.
As the light turned green I pressed the gas, cutting on the signal so that I can get into the turning lane. Another text from Mateo came through, I felt so bad for ignoring him but there was so much on my mind right now.
Mateo🖤: You good mama? I haven't heard from you.. I love you, call or come through when you can.-7:30pm
I tossed my phone into the cup holder and rested my head in my hands again, tears brewing in my eyes as I began to cry, the sound of my phone ringing pulled me from my breakdown, Mateo's name flashed across the screen along with our photo.
