My Hot Nurse Step Mum 9

I leaned back, hands behind my head. “I swear. It never happened. She’s like the one girl who’s always been firmly in the friend zone. We’ve known each other since high school. She’s the person I call when I need real talk, not… the other stuff.”

Bernice tilted her head, considering.

“Hmm. Rare. Most guys don’t have a hot girl best friend without at least trying once.”

“She’s hot, yeah,” I admitted, “but it’s never been like that. She’s seen me at my worst, drunk, stupid, heartbroken. And I’ve seen her the same. Kinda kills the mystery.”

Bernice laughed. “Or makes it better. Forbidden fruit and all that.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Speaking from experience?”

She shrugged, that playful glint back in her eyes. “Maybe. But I’m not complaining.”
