It boils my blood that Cristian can't keep his hands to himself. He doesn't know I like Morgana romantically but it's not so hard to see when I've been the one who has wanted to keep an eye on her since Aspen. First it was an innocent crush and concern since I've known her for a long time but as days bled into months my feelings evolved which is odd since we didn't spend time together until her wedding. I mean, I was following her around everywhere but she didn't know...

"Cristian!" Morgana chuckled so I got up from the sofa and peeked into the kitchen to find my friend, more like a brother, with his arms laced around her waist and face dipped into her neck.

If Morgana decides to not give me a chance and go for Cristian, I would understand it; he has been there for her for months now and the one responsible for that is myself.

"Cristian, could I talk to you for a second?" I cleared my throat.

"Sure," he pecked Morgana's cheek before approaching me with a smile on his lips. "What's up?"

"Let's go to my room," I led him up to the top floor which is only my bedroom.

"Are you going to tell me why are you acting so weird?" Cristian lay down on the bed, looking at me.

A deep sigh left my mouth as I looked down at my lemonade which I enhanced with a shot of vodka "Cristian, I'm in love with Morgana."

He chuckled "And did you think I hadn't realized?"

My right eyebrow arched "If you know then why are you flirting with her?"

"I'm flirty, Eros, you know that," he kicked off his shoes. "I too love her but not like you do," a smile played on his lips. "I won't say that I love her like a sister because fucking her is perfectly splendid but romantic feelings are the last thing that I would have for her; she's my best friend but that's all."

Relief took over my body "Well, I'm glad she has someone that loves her like you do."

"It's all thanks to you. I'm more than glad that someone loves her like you do," the man slipped under the duvet. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a nap so you can make your move on her. Wake me up when dinner is ready, slut."

A soft chuckle left my mouth as I closed the curtain to keep the dim sunlight from bothering him "Thank you, Cristian."

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you, Eros," he told as I made my way to the door. "You're a brother to me."

My smile grew as I gazed at him over my shoulder "You're a brother to me too, Cristian."

On my way downstairs I gave myself a pep talk about how I'm going to do my best to win her love but will surrender if that's what she prefers. After everything she has been through, it's more than understandable if she doesn't want to be with anyone for a while or ever.
