Brian’s POV

It was the truth and nothing but the truth when I told Eve why I wanted to crash at her place, I might have been hiding just a tidbit of information…

I was afraid she would overthink everything again, after the way we had come back together after the small fight, I didn’t want to leave her alone and make up a plan in her head to get rid of me, because I wasn’t around to convince her otherwise.

When I saw her confused expression on her face, I also knew I had done the right choice. I had to stay close and make her see that what we were doing was good, it was for the bigger good.

Even though sometimes I lost the sight off the bigger plan and just enjoyed the here and now. I enjoyed the playful back and forth, hell I even enjoyed her backing away, because I knew I would get her closer again… and that just happened.

I didn’t know what it was exactly, but she was so close, and it wasn’t an act, she had leaned towards me, I almost tasted her lips, but then she pulled away. Something had pulled her away and I regretted taking the choice from her.

Eve walked away and came back with a pillow and a blanket. She gathered her stuff from the couch and then disappeared again. I threw myself onto the couch and regretted that as well, the couch was damn hard and I couldn’t imagine sleeping here for more than one night.

I tried to make it as comfortable as I could and then walked towards her bathroom. I found a new toothbrush underneath the sink and claimed it as mine right away.

Just when I was done and turned towards the door, it flew open and Eve stood there, when she saw me she froze in her track. “Oh sorry! I forgot… You are here…” She chuckled lightly and I grinned “Better get used to it” She rolled her eyes and I exit and sat down on the couch waiting for her.

When she walked out I quickly stood up “Are you okay? I didn’t want to come on too strong earlier” I said and Eve shook her head “You are right… I should be able to” She looked into the direction of the bedroom but didn’t look too happy.

“See you tomorrow” She gave me a small smile and then headed into the direction of her bedroom while I fell down on the couch again.

I lay awake for quite a while, looking onto my phone and trying to get some sleep, but the thoughts of Eve laying just a couple of feet away from me, were nagging on my nerves. I knew she wasn’t feeling comfortable and I fucking hated to see her like that.

It was almost 3 when I decided to get up and check on her. I knew it may seem creepy but I just had to make sure she was okay.

I softly knocked onto her bedroom door and waited for a reply I never got. I inched the door open “It’s me Brian… Eve?” I whispered but again no sound. I didn’t dare to make the light on afraid she was safely asleep and I would wake her.

I inched forward and tried to see through the darkness, but couldn’t make out Eve’s form on the bed. I let my hands wander over the sheets and still found nothing. Not even the blanket. Had she gone to the bathroom without me noticing?

I was on the verge of turning, when I saw a small female feet peaking form beside the bed. I walked further and found Eve next to the bed lying on the floor. I sighed and kneeled down beside her, she had the blanket nestled around her and was trashing and turning.

This was even worse than the couch and it was my fault, I wanted to make her do the next step when she apparently wasn’t ready for it.

I leaned down and brushed my fingers over her hair “Eve, come on… Don’t sleep on the floor.” She stilled but didn’t wake.

I gathered her carefully into my arms and laid her onto the bed. I grabbed the blanket and put it over her, then lay down beside her. She immediately cuddled into my side and I let my hand run through her hair.

“It’s gonna be fine… I promise” I said softly and finally let my eyes fall shut too. I woke the next morning, before Eve and enjoyed the feeling of her small form pressed to mine, to be exact a certain part of me was happier than some other.

Eve’s leg was thrown over mine and her head rested so close to mine, that her breath was fanning over my cheek and if I would only turn my face left, our lips would meet. But I wouldn’t allow that, not now.

While sleeping I had an idea, and wanted to get it ready before Eve was fully up. So I carefully untangled myself from Eve, even if it felt really hard and I didn’t want to get away, especially because I was looking forward on how she would react finding us both in the morning this way, but then… I still had something else important to do.

I quickly went to the bathroom, took care of business and dressed back up again, then left her apartment without a note, hoping that Eve might be still sleeping when I would be coming home, but I didn’t know how long I would take.

I headed towards the city and decided to fulfill the plan I had while lying in bed with her. She wanted me to act like she want one of my flings, well little did she know, that I didn’t act around her anyway I would be acting with those women.

Eve had always been more, she was my friend, even though our friendship had become a crack, she still meant more to me than any of those women, and apparently she also hadn’t known that I wasn’t the men that she thought I am.

Sure, I did have my fair share of women. And yes, I didn’t always treat them right, but I grew up, hell we all did. It’s not like that anymore and now I needed to show her that side of me, because Eve was hell-bent on the fact that I was still the young blood who couldn’t get enough of groupies…

I entered the store and was determined to find something for her that she would love, something that would show her I was serious, at least as serious as she would believe me to be.

Everly’s POV

I haven’t slept this good in weeks, but how could that be when I knew I was sleeping on the floor beside my bed.
I stretched myself a little and didn’t feel the hard floor beneath me, I buried my head into the pillow beside me and a familiar smell greeted me.

I inhaled even more and realized that smell belonging not to my ex-fiancé and I had guessed it would smell like but it smelled like Brian. I blinked my eyes open and found myself in my bed, alone.

I put the small bedside table lamp on and looked around, the shutters were still down and wouldn’t leave much light in, my blanket was secured around me and the pillow was crumbled.

Had I imagined all this? When have I climbed back into the bed? I didn’t do that? Did I?
More confusion was weighing on me but I wasn’t able to solve it alone.

I pushed myself out of bed and let my hands run though my messy bed hair. I knew Brian had seen me like this before and I guess he wouldn’t give a damn about my attire or look, because he was used to much prettier and much more styled women waking up to and I would quickly fall through his radar anyway.

While walking into the living room I debated with myself to ask Brian if he had visited me during the night or to rather ignoring my weird feeling of what happened, and try to just get over it.

And how should I react finding him on my couch anyway, would we act normal, after last night and the almost kiss that I shared with him in private?!

I really didn’t know how to react and how to be around him, somehow he was getting closer to me, even closer than we have ever been and that frightened me.

When I reached the edge of the couch I was preparing myself for the view of Brian but instead I found a rumbled blanket and an empty spot. I turned towards the kitchen and flicked the lights on.

No Brian.

I walked over to the bathroom, listening for the shower but also nothing, so I knocked.

“Brian? Are you in there?” I asked softly.

“Bri?” I repeated but also silence.

I opened the door finding it empty too, when I looked back to the couch I noticed the missing clothes and shoes from last night.

Brian had vanished while I had been sleeping, probably routine for him. Not spending the full night with a woman. Old habits die hard, huh?!

I felt strangely disappointed he left without a word and tried to push that feeling away, I shouldn’t feel anything… this was stupid.

Even though knowing better I walked into the kitchen to see if he left a note at least, but came up empty handed as well.

I was tempted to pull my phone out and write him a message about treating his girlfriend like this, but then I set the phone back on the table and decided to get dressed and start my day with something else than worrying about Brian’s bachelor behavior. He was not really my boyfriend, I had no deal in his whereabouts.

When I was showered and dressed I heard a knock on the door. I frowned because who knocked still nowadays, and since Brian felt already pretty at home here, it wasn’t beyond him making himself a second key, or stealing mine… so who was this?!

“Hi?” I said, confused when I saw the young man ouside in my hall. He was dressed far better than I was and he had a polite smile for me as he held out his hand. Blinking down, I realized he was holding out an elegantly embossed black shopping back. “For you, Miss”

“Oh” My eyebrows shot up when I took the small bag and felt its weight drag my hand down. “Thank you,” I murmured before he gave me a single nod and left. The second I closed the door, I rushed to my kitchen table, shoving everything aside to make some room for the bag that had me desperately curious.

Reaching in, I first pulled out a card. I nearly cast it aside, since I never actually gotten handwritten cards. But this one did had handwriting on it, so I sat in the chair and read it.

I’ve never bought jewelry for women. Wear this tonight and show everyone that my girlfriend has me whipped enough to buy precious stones.
Pick you up at 9.

Brian

I stared. Was he fucking kidding me?!

Still I couldn’t help myself, I was excited and wanted to know what Brian had picked out. I got the dark blue box out of the bag and stared at it.

Maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up, it was still Brian we were talking about, what if he wanted to fool me and put something else in the box.

Carefully I lifted the lit and my heart stopped “Oh my god” I whispered, instantly floored and nearly blinded by the dazzling rock staring back at me. It was a single circular diamond hanging on a silver chain in the shape of a Y.

I rushed to the bathroom to try it on and felt bad wearing sweater underneath, so I pulled she sweater of leaving me in my top and put the necklace around me, staring how the Y Shape fell between my cleavage which made me chuckle, that was probably a plan he had with this one, ass.

I grabbed my phone and wanted to write Val, her being my closest friend but when I held the phone in hand I send a message to Brian instead.

Me: What the fuck, Brian?! It’s beautiful
Brian: Glad you liked it
Me: Tell me not to get attached cause it’s rented
Brian: It’s yours. I hope it makes you feel better.

I had to chuckle, he did make me feel better, not only the heavy rock dangling from my neck, but I wouldn’t tell him that.

Me: I’m feeling better than I have in years.
Brian: I’ll be sure to tell Chris

I rolled my eyes at his message and still had to chuckle, it would feel good to let Chris know I was finally feeling good again.

I finally called Val and she answered before I was even able to say something “You guys coming to Noah tonight, right?”
I blinked. “Oh.. Noah’s? Maybe. Brian said we were going somewhere, but not where”
“Probably Noah’s. He’s having people over to his house and it’s amazing, in case you haven’t been there”

I tried to find a good way to see if Brian told the truth in the card, but couldn’t find a good way to start so I blurted it out.
“Brian bought me a diamond”
“WHAT?!”

I had to spend a good minute calming her down and reassuring her that Brian hadn’t lost his mind and proposed and when I did, she was still rambling on.
Val confirmed with her rambling and excitement what Brian said and I had to smile, he really wanted to make this right for me too, and that was sweeter than I thought he could ever be, which made me feel weird about this whole thing, Brian was putting so much in this, how could I make this up to him?

I looked down at the diamond , it was just so incredibly breathtaking – the most beautiful thing I owned and probably the last thing my head needed.
