A sigh left Damian's lips as he stared at Aubrey's picture. It was no secret he had a huge crush on her, hell, the whole of social media knew. Everyone except Aubrey herself. He didn't know if she was in denial or just dense, she might even be both. Another sigh left Damian's lips as he set down his cup of whisky. He continued to stare at the liquid, as though that would give him answers.

A hand landed on his shoulder, causing him to jump in surprise. A familiar laugh was heard before he revealed himself. Maxwell sat down beside Damian and ordered some whisky. "What's up Foreman?" He asked. Damian just shrugged before chugging down the rest of his whisky just as Maxwell's arrived.

Damian stood up to leave before Maxwell's question stopped him. "You're thinking about my sister, aren't you?" Damian looked up back to see Maxwell's eyes on him. He patted the seat next to him, to which Damian slowly trudged to. "Is it obvious?" Damian asked, sitting down. Maxwell laughed and nodded. "Very mate, very."

Damian had buried his head in his hands, worried that Maxwell would tell him to avoid his sister. But of course, that didn't come. Instead, something else did. "Ask her out. Don't be a fucking pussy just because you think I won't let you date her." Damian's eyes found Maxwell's again, trying to see if he was joking or not. But all he could see was sincerity in them. "Why?" He had asked. "Well, I want what makes my sister happy for her. And that just so happens to be you. And I also know she likes you. She just ranted out to us about you the other day because she thinks you don't like her." "Wait, hold on, what are you trying to say?" "Oh my god, you idiot. I'm allowing you to date my sister, okay? I'm giving you the go signal. Look, I'll say it the best that I can. I want you to take care of my sister. She deserves to be happy and to not look after us anymore. She brought Jayla and I together. It's time that I repay her. So go sweep her off her feet. Just, don't hurt her, okay?"

Damian nodded, founding a new form of confidence surge throughout his body. "Thank you." He said to Maxwell a huge smile on his face. "Anytime, cheers mate." He said bringing up his cup before downing it. "Now let's get out of here."

this book is coming to an end and it makes me so fucking sad :<
