When Her Boy Bestie Knew Too Much

During my mother's prenatal testing, the doctor discovers that I, the baby she's carrying, have the XYY syndrome. Since Mom's health is frail, it will be hard for her to have another baby. My parents somberly decide to have me anyway.

When I'm in elementary school, my nanny is playing with me when I accidentally break her arm by stepping on it.

During middle school, a few thugs try to rob me on the street, only to end up in the hospital because of me. This one incident makes me famous. Word keeps spreading until I become known as a bully in school. No one dares to offend me at all.

I've since graduated from college. During a class reunion with my college classmates, Zoey Johnson, my girlfriend of three years, brings Michael Greer, her male best friend, with her.

When a game of Truth or Dare starts, Michael bluntly shares one of Zoey's secrets.

"I know she has a mole on one of her nips."

He looks smug about what he has just revealed. Everyone else has fallen silent.

After glancing at Zoey, who's sitting beside Michael, I pull her off the couch and say, "Take your top off. Let's see if he's telling the truth."

"Neil, I don't think you need to go that far," one of our classmates called out.

The rest of them in the private room glanced at each other, too scared to make a sound.

Zoey Johnson pulled her jacket tighter around herself as she glared at me in fury. Michael Greer, her male best friend, got up and held her protectively in his arms.

"What the hell are you doing, Neil?" he questioned. "It's just a game. Do you really have to blow things out of proportion like this?"

I took out my phone and snapped a photo of the two of them pressed together before instructing the bar to give me a copy of the security footage.

Eyeing Michael coldly, I grabbed him by the collar and threw him aside. "Sorry, but I'm not in the habit of sharing my girlfriend with another guy."

My eyes flickered back to Zoey, who'd curled in on herself. Reaching out, I said gently, "Be good and take your top off."

I grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to meet my eyes. She was actually trembling in fear.

"I-I know I made a mistake, Neil," she stammered in apology. "I should've introduced Michael to you sooner. You wouldn't be getting jealous if I did, right?"

When I didn't respond, Zoey hugged me and continued, "Neil, Michael and I just grew up together. We're childhood friends. We even bathed together when we were kids. It's not strange that he knows my secrets."

I mercilessly shoved Zoey away and reached out to yank open her collar. She let out a shriek. "Neil! Have you lost your mind?"

She hastily covered her neckline while trying to kick me away, but I easily caught her slender calf the moment
