Sleeping with my best friend was a mistake that never should have happened. We made a promise to each other when we were young, but he forgot it long ago—unlike me. I never forgot that he was my prince charming. He dated other girls, which I didn’t mind back then because I was too young. We shared a bed for years, even now, but we never crossed the line.
The trouble began when his fiancée failed to show up for their wedding, and I stepped in to play the bride for a day, just to save his reputation. That was the day everything changed. We shared a steamy, unforgettable night, but afterward, he said it was a mistake—he was dating my best friend, Candice. His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I should have realized our childhood promises were long gone. He took my innocence and then told me it shouldn’t have happened. That pain was raw, but nothing hurt more than discovering I was pregnant with his child—a secret I couldn’t share because he’s in love with Candice.
“Hi! My name is Lola,” I said.
He grinned. “I’m Dante.”
“May I join you in a game?”
“How old are you?” I gave him my best puppy-dog look.
“You’re adorable when you do that,” he said.
“I’m nine years old.”
“Well, I’m sixteen. Want to play with your big brother?”
I nodded.
Just like that, a nine-year-old started hanging out with a sixteen-year-old. I was his little sister, and he was my big brother. We grew up as best friends, sharing everything. Even now, we still share a bed.
