My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste

Bailey's pov

The game was going on and the cheers around me never ceased.Kaleb's team had the upper hand and I did believe they would win.

As he promised earlier, he scored many goals and made sure to look atme in the stands when he did. I hope no one noticed because he wasvery sleek about it.

I'd shy away and look somewhere else when he did and never failed tonotice the smirk he sent my way.

Juliet's words affected me but it is not in the way you think. Kaleb liedto me and that was what ticked me off.

I couldn't trust him.

As the game continued on, it was even more clear that we would win sowhen we did it was no surprise.

This time I did stand up, clapping and smiling as they lifted Kaleb up inthe air and cheered. Even though I was mad at him, I wasn't bitchyenough to not celebrate his win.

Somehow through the crowd and everyone cheering, his eyesconnected with mine. He grinned hugely, winking.

" Did my brother just wink at you?" Mira gasped beside me. A lumpgrows in my throat as I shook my head quickly.

" No. Of course not. He winked at this girl." I pointed to the girl in frontof me who was shouting and jumping happily.

Mira looked convinced and rolled her eyes, turning to Juliet. " I guessmy brother is still back to his old ways after all." she mocked Julietwhose face reddened.

I smirked knowing fully well that Kaleb winked at me and not that girl.And I bet Juliet knew that too.

"Yes Mr. Grey, I promise there will be no drinking and she will be homeby ten." Mira paced in front of me with my phone clutched to her ear. Alittle part of me wished that dad told her no. I didn't want to go to a partythat Kaleb would be in.

Not after he lied to me.

But when I saw Mira's wide smile I knew dad had agreed. Katrinanudged my hand with her elbow and I looked at her. She smiledplayfully and and nudged her chin over to the school entrance.

I was confused at first until I saw Kaleb and his friends emerging out ofthe building, laughing loud and playfully pushing at each other.

I cleared my throat and shifted on my foot when they draw closer.

“ Thank you Mr. Grey." Mira chirped and ends the call, passing thephone over to me with a huge grin on her face. She was happy that mydad agreed to make me go.

" Looks like we're going to party tonight,” She winked.

A few feet away, leaning against Kaleb's car is Juliet who had notstopped sending me daggers with her eyes. To others it was not thatnoticeable but I knew when someone wanted to kill me with their eyes.I nod, sliding the phone into my bag and keeping my gaze down whenKaleb and his friends reach us.

" The way you run man was fucking awesome!" Ryan laughed andStefan agreed. They were boasting about Kaleb's skills on the fieldtonight.

" Hey Bailey, coming to the party?"

I lifted my head and smiled at Stefan, a tiny shrug lifting my shouldersslightly. " Yeah I guess."

I could feel his eyes on me, burning through the side of my face. Itmade me shift on my foot.

" Why aren't you wearing my jersey?" Kaleb suddenly uttered catchingeveryone by surprise, including me.

Mira had been true to her word in giving me her spare shirt and now Iwore it and removed Kaleb's jersey.

" Because you know what they will think if she walks into that party withyour jersey on Kaleb," Mira grumbled and shifted in her bag to give herbrother back his jersey.

I looked at Kaleb to see that his jaw ticked and he rudely snatched thejersey from Mira's hold with a glare and stormed toward his car.

" Well let's head to the party then. Come Mira and Bailey." He utteredannoyed under his breath. But I surprised him when I replied. " No. Iwill go with Stefan tonight.”

Kaleb froze, his shoulders looking stiff as his wet hair dripped on thematerial of his shirt. I thought he would've argued and made a scene.Some part of me wished he would demand that I get in his car.

But I am disappointed when he continued his path toward his car with agrumble. " Suit yourself,” opened the door, got in and slammed the doorhard. Like a puppy, Juliet rushed over to the passenger side and got in,a wide smile on her face.

Mira looked between us, her brows drawn as she tried to make senseof the tension. Before she could piece everything together I lied. " I kindof have an upset stomach after smelling hotdogs for hours, Kalebdrives like a mad man, I don't want to risk the chance of barfing in thecar."

It wasn't really the best lie I could come up with but can you blame me?I had to think of something on the spot and this is the best I could do!Mira looked concerned. " Your stomach is upset? Are you sure youwant to go to the party Bails? You don't have to you know."

I shook my head, not wanting to spoil her night and whatever bet shehad with Ryan who had not staring at her since he got closer. " No it'snot that bad, it will pass.”

Mira continued to voice her worries that I maybe shouldn't go tonightbut I somehow eased her enough for her to nod and walk over to herbrother's car. Ryan tagged along behind her and I wondered what wasgoing on between the two.

The way he looked at her......

It kind of looks like the same way Kaleb looked at me in the libraryearlier.

I am cut off from my thoughts when Kaleb's eyes snap to mine. He hada chilling upset glare on before he sped off.

The tires screeched and he left trail marks behind him. Stefan snorted." It seems our boy can't wait to target some girl tonight. Then again,that girl Juliet is back.”

His words made my stomach twist in an unpleasant way. Katrinanudged my arm, smiling at me softly as to say it was okay. I nod,smiling back, trying to play it cool even though inwardly I was sick to mystomach thinking about Kaleb and Juliet or Kaleb with any other girltonight.
