Free Never say forever (Never series Book 1) by Courtney A. Taylor

hers. They may be able to somehow spin it around on her since he comes from a family of money. It’s okay, though. I gave him a good beating so he should know his place not to come near her. I will make it clear at school as well. As long as I’m around he won’t be coming near her. I got her back,” I said with confidence.
     
    “ I’m glad. She’s lucky to have you as a friend. I don’t want to get any phone calls from the school saying you got into trouble. I know you’re a good kid. Don’t let a girl change you around. Why weren’t you sleeping on the couch? You know I don’t want you sleeping in the same room as a girl,” he lectured.
     
    “ I actually was sleeping on the couch and she came out and asked if I could sleep in the same room because she was scared and didn’t want to be alone. I figured with what she went through last night, I would be there for her, so I slept on the floor just so she would know that someone was there with her,” I said.
     
    “ I see the way you look at her. I’m not stupid. I was young once. That look on your face the moment she enters the room….that’s the same look I gave your mother the moment I fell in love with her and every day after.”
    I guess he can see right through me that I really do want something more than just friends with her.
    “ Well, we’re just friends. You want something to eat? I think I’ll make some breakfast since she’s still sleeping,” I say as I head to the pantry to see what I can make.
     
    “ Breakfast in bed for the young lady?? And you say you’re just friends. HA!” he laughs at me.
    “ Whatever”, I say as a grin forms on my face.
     
    I grab a pan, some eggs, bread, cinnamon and a bowl. I mix the eggs and cinnamon together and soak the bread in it. I place it in the pan and start frying up some French toast. I start humming a tune as I’m making breakfast. I can’t help but get out of this little happiness I seem to be feeling. I start moving around the kitchen when I hear some footsteps.
     
    “ Someone’s in a happy mood?”
     
    I turn around and my jaw drops. There’s Serena, standing in front of me dressed in my pajamas looking sexy as hell. Her hair is messy but I love it. No makeup. The just rolled out of bed look. I stand there and just drink her in. She is absolutely beautiful. I have to make the food but I feel as if my feet are imbedded into the floor. I can’t move. I can’t take my eyes off her.
     
    “ Here let me help you with that, before you burn our breakfast and your house down,” she says sarcastically with a smile. I love that smile. I don’t even move as she walks up to me and takes the spatula.
    Now she’s baking with my clothes on. I sit down in the chair before she turns around to see the bulge in my pants. I can’t take my eyes off her as she cooks us breakfast. This is a sight I can sure get used to. She walks in with the food and sits across from me.
     
    “ Breakfast is served. Thank you for cooking and thanks for everything yesterday,” she smiles at me.
     
    Wow, she is amazing. She seems different. Maybe her barriers are breaking and she’s learning that she can trust me. This definitely feels different.
     
    “ No problem. I figured you would be hungry and you know I always have your back Serena,” I say as I am cutting my French toast.
     
    “ I know you do, but thinking and knowing for sure are two separate things. I know for sure now,” she says. Her eyes have a new sparkle to it.
     
    We eat our food and head out to the car. I let her in and start the engine. We are on the way to drop her off at Larissa’s. I can feel her eyes on me.
     
    “ We should do something later or tomorrow. Get out of the house. Maybe go for a walk or something.”
     
    Well that just took a turn. A turn for the better.
     
    “ Yeah that would be great. When?”
     
    I can’t help but feel ecstatic about this.
     
    “ I don’t know. Maybe later this afternoon or the evening. I’ll
