Where Stars Fall
READING AGE 16+
There is only one perk to dating my long-time best friend, next-door neighbour, and childhood sweetheart, Matthew, and that is his elder brother, Nikolai. I still remember the first time I met him. That day on my ninth birthday. Their late mother, Sarah, had asked me to go upstairs with the cheesecake I had brought for them and asked me to share it with Matthew. But when the door slowly opened, Matthew was not behind it, but someone else. Someone who's dwelled in my dreams ever since. When Matthew asked me out, I couldn't possibly say no, but now, his brother is back home, and every smile, every bit of attention he gave me, the times his knees brushed mine, the moments where we found ourselves all alone...I wanted him. With all the disobedience that meant.

Nikolai was standing a feet away, his hand holding the largest bouquet of red roses that I had ever seen, his hair falling over his forehead, his lips slightly parted.
