Confession

Julian's pov
I was in my room, studying my a*s off for the upcoming exams but Noah was making loud noises in our living area.
He was watching a football match and was too excited to even care about my exams. On top of that, my parents weren't home.
“NOAH! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SH*T!”
My mouth screamed.
He wouldn't listen!
“Ugh…what's wrong with him?” My lips murmured in frustration.
I stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind me in my cute panda pajamas.
“WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, NOAH?”
My voice growled.
It wasn't Noah, but his best friend sitting on our couch. His handsome face captivated my eyes and everything else left my mind.
His red hair was shining in the light.
His gorgeous hazel eyes looked into mine and his jawline was as sharp as a knife. He was wearing a thin white shirt, and the sleeves were rolled up on his muscular arms, exposing his veins.
The first thought that came into my mind was…who is this handsome boy?
It took me three seconds to fall for him.
“Uhm…you?” My lips asked.
Noah stepped into the living area holding a beer bottle in his right hand and two glasses in his left hand.
“Oh! Joly!” His eyes widened.
Joly was my nickname given by Noah.
“Why are you outside?” His brow twitched.
I rolled my eyes at him.
“You were shouting so loud that my ears were about to bleed.” My lips complained like a little kid's.
“You're a bad brother, Noah!” His deep voice muttered and my heart fluttered for the first time.
Even his voice was a work of art.
“Shut up!” Noah mumbled.
He chuckled and that damn smile awestruck my mouth. He was perfect in every way and there was no denying it.
“By the way…he's my best friend, Kyren Maddox, and she's my little sister, Julian or you can call her Joly.” Noah introduced us to each other.
“Hello, little one!” His long fingers waved at me and my heart started jumping inside my chest.
“Hello!” My soft tone replied.
“Sorry, Joly!” Noah apologized.
“Go back to your room and study.”
He commanded.
I wanted to stay with them and admire Kyren a little more but only a creep or a stalker would do that.
My feet went back inside my room.
That day was the beginning of my one-sided crush on Kyren Maddox.
After that day, he started coming to our house more often and we eventually grew a lot closer. My one-sided crush developed into love, and he started treating me like his own little sister.
Kyren Maddox was always off-limits!
He was not just six years older but my brother's best friend.
My brother was a playboy, he would change girls every week and would never settle for one girlfriend. I was worried that Kyren was like my brother but luckily, he was never involved with any girl.
The more Kyren Maddox opened himself in front of me, the more I fell for him.
It's been three years and my love for him was the same, stronger than ever. My original plan was to keep this secret to my grave but after what happened last night, I changed my mind.
Julian Reinhart decided to break all the rules for Kyren Maddox.
Kyren was an intern in a small publishing company whereas my brother was a basketball player, preparing for professionals.
Putting on my blue jeans and red top, my feet stepped out of the house to meet Kyren at the amusement park. The entire cab ride my stomach was loaded with butterflies.
The cab stopped in front of the amusement park and my gaze noticed Kyren at the entrance wearing all black.
My lips sucked in a deep breath and I got out of the cab. His hazel eyes met mine and my heart skipped a beat.
He was perfect as always!
My feet slowly approached him.
“Were you waiting for long?” I asked.
“You're fifteen minutes late, little one!” He said and patted my head.
“Uh…sorry about that…”
He chuckled and showed me the entry tickets between his two fingers.
“Let's go!”
My feet followed him inside the amusement park and we stopped next to the roller coaster ride.
He turned around and his fingers went inside either of his pants pockets.
“I have something to say, little one.” Words came out of his mouth.
My cheeks flustered.
Could it be that Kyren wants to confess his feelings just like me? Even the thought of it was driving my mind crazy.
*Gulp
“I have something to say as well.” My fingers started rubbing each other anxiously.
“Ladies first!” He smiled.
My head nodded.
“The thing is…”
His eyes were focused on my face.
“I am in love with you.” My lips said it, fixing my gaze to the ground.
“I have been in love with you ever since we first met but I couldn't tell…”
“Little one!” He interrupted.
My eyes looked up at him and his smile was missing from his lips. Even his eyes were somewhat cold.
“You're just confused!” He muttered.
“Huh?” My brows furrowed.
“Attraction is common for girls your age and I'm just an attraction to you!”
“You're like my sister.”
“How could you be so vague?”
Tears filled my eyes but I didn't let them fall down my cheeks.
“Grow older and find yourself a good boyfriend, okay?” He tilted his head slightly as his eyes softened.
“This is not an attraction!” My lips murmured.
“I really love you!”
He sighed.
“You’re my friend's sister, and I have never felt the same for you, and I never will.” His words were clear-cut.
“Is this just because I'm your friend's sister?” My feet stepped into his space, yet he stepped back.
Silence replenished the air!
“Say something, please?” I requested.
“There's already a girl in my life.” He said the real reason.
