Enough | A Bryles story

Six

Sometimes that feeling inside is unexplainable.

Myles' POV

"I'm tired," Kingsley yawned.
I chuckled. "Come on buddy, I'll take you inside."
After lifting Kingsley to his feet, I glanced back at Bri. 

"Go on, I'll be fine," she smiled knowingly. I don't want to leave her alone for too long, but at the same time, I need to help out my little brother.

"Give me a piggyback!"

Little boys can be so demanding at times. I love Kingsley, even though he can be rather irritating when I can't be bothered with anything. I crouched down and let him crawl onto my back. His arms hang over my shoulders as I pull him up by the thighs.

"3, 2, 1, GO!" I sprinted towards the back door. He screamed with pure excitement as he bobbed up and down on my back. I haven't given him a piggyback for a long time, but he's still quite light at least.

~later that afternoon~

I kicked the ball away, swiftly dodging Briar's foot. "This isn't fair!" she whined.

"I'm being easy on you right now, can't you tell?"

"It's not like I know how to play."

Over the next ten minutes we continue playing our mini game. Bri still complained, even though I was still going easy for her sake. It's okay. We're having a good time. There was a noise that was coming from in the house. 

"Aha! I got the ball!" her voice took my focus back to the game. She had ran ahead of me, so I followed after her.

By the time I reached her, I had no choice but to fight for the ball back. I hooked my foot behind her leg. I could feel her resisting, but I yanked my foot away, and I tumbled to the ground with her. We lay side by side. Breathing heavily, her shining blue eyes meet mine. Our faces mere centimetres apart. I reach towards her face. Briar froze as I traced my fingers along her jaw. I lifted her chin up and leaned in.

Our lips meet as her hand clasps the back of my head. Her lips feel so soft against mine. I honestly could never get enough of her. All these years of knowing Bri, I didn't know how much I liked her until now.

She pulled away, her cheeks rosy with colour. God, she's beautiful.

"For a long time my heart was trying to tell me something, but I couldn't understand what it was. That day I saw you for the first time in years... I was lost for words. And now there's no denying how much I like you, Bri."

"Mylo, I-I like you a lot too," her lips curved into a bigger smile.

I wrapped my arm around her and she rests her head on my chest. "You know what? We could lie here forever. You and me."

"I'd like that." 

Here's the new chapter, comment your thoughts below!

Now Myles and Briar are together, who would've thought that there wouldn't be a single thing in the world that could stop them? 

Insecurity. Jealousy. Uncertainty.

Their relationship off to a smooth start doesn't mean that it will always stay that way.
Starting with two words.

Fake friends.
