Forbidden Love

Part 7

Myles POV

Briar. She's stunning. Her long blonde hair falls perfectly around her face and her eyes ... damn, those green eyes though. I want her. If only she wasn't with Devon. I mean he treats her so badly, she deserves so much better than that. But Devon is on the team and I probably shouldn't be starting any drama with him.

After Devon left I go over and pour myself another drink even though I've had a lot already. I take a sip of it, just standing there by myself, it kinda sucks being the new guy and not knowing anyone. But then Briar comes up beside me and starts pouring herself a drink. She looks pretty wasted at this point. 

She turns her head and catches me staring at her, usually I would look away but I can't help it. "Yes?" She asks me.

"Uh sorry I just-" I stutter. "I couldn't help but notice how pretty you are."

"Aww thank you." She replies, blushing slightly, and then mutters quietly, "I wish Devon thought so."

I don't think she wanted me to hear that last part so I decide to ignore it. "I'm Myles, by the way."

"I know-" She says. "I mean, I'm Briar. I've heard you're the new football captain."

I laugh. "Thats me. Don't want any bad blood though, I mean, I did take away Devon's captaincy and seeing he's your boyfriend and all."

"Don't even worry about it." She rolls her eyes and shrugs. "I couldn't care less about that prick."

"Oh ... but you are still together though, aren't you?" I ask, trying not to sound nosy.

"I guess so." She says, not entirely sure. "I don't want to be with him, but he's not really giving me any choice."

"I know I don't really know you, either of you ... but why are you with him?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows. "You deserve so much better than that. You deserve someone who treats you right, not the way Devon treats you."

"I know but like I said he's not giving me a choice here." She explains, sadly. "I mean, I just tried to break up with him then and you saw how that turned out."

"Does that happen often?" I wonder, out loud.

"At least once a week." Briar shrugs. "He wasn't always like this. For the first 10 months he treated me like a princess, we fell in love, we were tight; no one ever saw us apart. But then he changed ... we had our first fight and he slapped me. From there on out he's just been nothing but abusive."

"God, I don't know what to say." I shake my head. 

"No one ever does." She says. "But hey, enough with the heavy. We came here to party; lets go dance, have some fun!"

She grabs my hand and pulls me out to the dance floor. I spin her around a few times and am having a really good time with her.

Briar POV

Myles is the sweetest guy I've ever met. I've know him for 15 minutes and already I feel like I'm falling. Is that possible? Could I really be crushing on Myles, some guy I don't even know? Or is it just the booze and my broken heart making me feel like this? Either way I'm not going to let anything else get in the way of me having a good time tonight.

"Wooooh" I laugh, panting from all the dancing. I am so wasted right now, and so is Myles, but I don't even care. 

"You want another drink?" He asks me.

"Of course." I say and he goes off and gets us both a drink. What a gentleman.

I have had such a good night with Myles. The best in a long long time. I wish I could feel this happy all the time. I'm sitting at a table by myself so I get out my phone and check the time. 11:11. Is that cliché or what? I laugh at myself. So stupid. Then Jess and Dylan come up behind me.

"Boo." Dylan scares me.

"How's the new guy?" Jess asks me and winks.

"No, I know what you're thinking." I roll my eyes. "Don't even bother saying it."

"Come on. He's the one, I can feel it." Jess begs me. "You have to move on B, and look at him. He's all over you and you're all over him. He's a gentleman, he's funny, he's crazy hot, he's everything you need right now."

"Its a match made in heaven." Dylan smiles, looking almost as drunk as me.

"Ughhh look honestly, I've only known him for a couple of hours but I really like him." I blush.

"AHHHHH! I knew it." Jess screamed.

"Knew what?" Myles asked coming up behind us, drinks in hand.

I death stare Jess and Dylan, silently begging them not to embarrass me. "Oh we were just talking about how cute a couple you and Briar would be." Jess smirks.

"We'll leave you two to it then." Dylan winks and they walk off giggling.

Its awkward silence for a moment after they leave. I'm kind of a shy person and am so embarassed about what they just said to Myles. I don't know what to say to him.

"They're right though, don't you think?" Myles raises his eyebrows. "We would be a pretty good couple."

I can't tell if he's taking the piss or not. "You really think so?"

"I do ... I wish I could've met you years ago, Briar Nolet." He leans forward slightly.

In that moment I felt myself melt away. That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I slowly lean forward and attach my lips to his. At first, its a little awkward but after a few seconds our mouths begin to move in sync to one another. My stomach gets butterflies and my heart starts racing like crazy. This may not be my first kiss or my first love, but at this point I truly hope he's my last everything.

A/N

So I'm thinking of putting in a mature part in next (Like really mature) but I'm not sure if everyone's comfortable with reading that or not so just a heads up, if you wanna read it go for it, if not then just skip it out. Tbh though, there will probably be a lot of mature scenes in this book soooo yeah.

Luv ya xx
