Reverse Harem 5

"So does Jake like you now?" My brother slouched grumpily in his chair, staring at Liam and I from across the table. "He's basically been a stalker these past few weeks."

I sighed, sipping at my coffee. "It's not that he likes me. He just always taken my feelings for granted since we were kids. It was kind of a constant ego boost to him. Now that's he's lost it, he feels entitled to get it back."

"Shouldn't you be happy? I mean, you've always been trying to get his attention for years."

"I stopped liking him for a while now." I leaned back, staring at my cup. "He's not worth the trouble."

"Well, I guess you have this guy now." Adam pointed at Liam sitting next to me with a frown. "What are you again? Her friend? Boyfriend?"

Liam smiled calmly. "Her minion."

"...You're weird."

I ignored their exchange. We'd been meeting here regularly for the past few weeks, and Adam and Liam argued like this every single time. "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Nothing much. Classes, practice. We have a big game coming up, so I'll be putting in some extra work with the guys."

"No plans to woo Rose?" I raised an eyebrow.

Adam shuddered. "And get sprayed again?" He sighed loudly. "No thanks, it's too much trouble."

"I knew the books were right!"

"Shut up, it wasn't your stupid pet training methods!"

"Really? Because I'd say the results speak for themselves!"

"Here's your coffee." The coffee shop girl from before set a cup in front of him. Stepping back, she looked over at me. "How's he doing?"

"Much better, I barely have to spray him at all anymore."

"Great!" She smiled warmly at Adam. "Good for you."

"Um... Thanks." He blushed slightly at her smile, before flinching and giving me and the spray bottle on the table an anxious side glance.

"Don't worry. As long as you're not scheming and obsessing over Rose, I won't spray you."

I pulled my phone, checking the mission progress.

"87% Complete"

The past four weeks haven't been in vain. Adam was being successfully trained out of his reverse harem habits, while Jake...

Had gone in a weird direction.

The loss of my character's affection had definitely impacted him more than expected. He still paid attention to Rose, but a inordinate amount of his time and energy had been put into trying to convince me to say that I still loved him.

I rubbed my head.

Not much longer.I was almost done with this story world. Surprisingly, I wasn't as excited about that as I thought I would be.

It's all his fault.

I shot a glare over at Liam, who smiled happily back.

He had spent every day at my side. Bringing lunch, buying coffee, carrying my bag. Any push back was met with a friendly grin and the response "this is my job as your minion." He cheerfully followed me around, helping me avoid Rose, Michael and Jake, spraying Adam when he snuck in while I was in the bathroom. He was always there, talking, joking, laughing... just being there.

Without me realizing it, he had quickly become a part of my daily life.

But it was a life I was almost done with.
