When A Bully Falls In Love by Valerie Sax (good books to read for women TXT) 📖

“Nothing, it’s a long story. But there is nothing in between us. And you know me, I am NOT A ONE WOMAN MAN,”

Why do I need to prove him or myself? There is nothing between us.

“That is what I was thinking; she looks innocent. If she chooses you, that would be a surprise for me.”That hurts.

“Maybe she will become Matt’s girlfriend. They will look good together.” This line hurts more than the previous one. His reply annoyed me.

“Why? Why will it surprise you if she chooses me? And what the heck, girls don’t choose me. I choose them.” I snorted at him.

He laughed like he was commenting on me.

Seriously? Matt and her? Yeah, she is getting close to him; he was her messiah.

No, she can’t love him. I don’t want to fight my best friend over her. I need to tell him to stay away from her. We reached home while I was lost in my thoughts. Mom saw me with expressive eyes.

“What did you do this time,” She tried to calm down.

“Nothing. He was trying to fix things between a girl and him.” Raph jumped in. I glared at him to be quiet.

“What? What happened to Zareena?” Mom purred.

“It’s nothing, mom,” I answered while hugging her.

“It’s not Zareena; it’s someone else. Mom, he broke her brother’s nose and called me to fix his mess.”

That was the limit. I punched his stomach. Mom tried to understand what was happening between us.

I ran after him to beat him one more time.

We fought a bit, but at last, I was the winner of our battle.

“Ok, ok... I give up. Leave my hand,” He screamed in pain.

I left him, and we hugged each other.

“I missed you, brother.” He said.

“Me too,” I replied.

“If you guys are done with your fighting, can you tell him about your engagement ceremony?” Mom said while showing me the rings.

“Engagement ceremony?” I questioned.

“Yes, this Saturday. Me and Zoey. Call Matt and your friends too.” Raph answered my question.

“Great,” I was happy for him.

“I called Zareena’s and Viktor’s family already.” Mom answered while scanning her phone. Zareena’s and Victor's parents are our family friends.

“I will call Matt, and we will join,” I replied while typing the message to Matt. Should I call Aoife too? But how? She doesn’t consider me her friend. Are we even friends?
