My Brothers' Mafia Best Friend

Chapter 15

It's almost been a week since me and Aiden talked and to say we spent time together would be a lie.

Things were awkward with my brothers. For the first couple of days. I only exchanged a few words with them.

They also told Summer and she acted as awkward as me after lacking out on all of them about how immature they are for getting involved in shit-her words not mine-like that.

But we got over it eventually, especially after, my brothers and Aiden had so much work last week, which gave us the space to think everything through.

Weeventually got our thoughts together and came to the conclusion that we can't do anything about the situation than go along with it, which is exactly what me and Summer are doing now and probably for a long time ahead.

The only thing that happened between Aiden and I was that we  exchanged glances under the dinners and we kissed when we were alone, whether that was in the kitchen or in the hallway, the kisses lasted at most two minutes before we had to pull away. But no matter how long we kissed or how we kissed the flushed cheeks and butterflies never left me.

My brothers didn't suspect anything but to say I was nervous is an understatement. I'm still feeling guilty for lying to them but they'll know eventually...well they might get to know eventually, depending on if Aiden and I make things serious and official between us.

Summer is still the only one knowing about the two of us...whatever we are. When I told her what me and Aiden talked about a week ago, she kind of got in a state of shock. She sat in front of me with one of my decoration pillows clutched to her chest, her mouth practically on the floor and her eyes wide.

When she finally got back to her babbly self she started planning on what we should name our future kids and demanded to be a godmother, I didn't bother stopping her fantasies.

Luckily we skipped the stage where she would throw smart remarks on me and Aiden, because she got a bug and her mom told her to stay at home, so she wouldn't get everyone else sick also.

Which left me alone with Ethan for a week. I got to know him so much better and he told me about his long distance boyfriend, Dean, and how he's coming over this weekend.

I shake my head getting rid of my thoughts and notice that I've reached the cafeteria.

Opening the blue double doors I walk in and scan the crowded room, in hopes of catching a glimpse of Summer and Ethan at a table.

Finally, I see the redhead girl waving like a maniac and I chuckle before making my way over to them.

"Hi!" Summer says excited, her eyes lighting up as she speaks. Ethan face palms and lays his head on the round table surface. "Hey?" I say confused and Ethan shakes his head against the table, letting out a groan.

"Oh my god! Avery! There's a par-" I don't let her finish as I shake my head and put my hand up, stopping her.

"I need to get food first, be right back." I say and walk over to the line.

I stand behind a tall guy from the football team and to be honest I feel tiny standing behind him.

I shake my head and grab my phone to see that I don't have a message form Aiden still. We haven't talked much since last week, just the few encounters at my place and to be honest I kind of miss his presence.

I feel a pair of arms wrapping around my neck and pulling me into a hard chest.

My heart skips a beat at first but when I take in the scent I roll my eyes.
