“The fuck you do.” My eyes narrowed into slits. Molly stops digging at my legs, turned to face Lucas, runs over to him, and scrapes her nails into the denim of his jeans.
“Hey, Molly.” Lucas leans down and scoops up the dog. He’s rewarded with a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
“Put the dog down.” Aaron steps up to the door.
Lucas sits down the dog, slowly rises to his full height, and rolls his shoulders. “I just need a moment to speak with Nicole, and then, I’ll be gone.”
“What do you want with my sister? She doesn’t want to talk to you.” I bite down on my bottom li
p and slipped the skin through my teeth.
The image of punching him in the gut and leaving him a bloody mess on the front step zips through my mind. My sister deserves someone who worships her like I do Natalie. Not this punk.
Lucas’ eyes are round as saucers. “You aren’t Trevor.”
Trevor? I wrinkle my nose and curl my upper lip. “Fuck, no. I would punch the son of a bitch the second I saw him.”
“He thought you were Trevor,” Aaron laughs and wallops Trey in the upper arm. “The guy is a skinny ass punk. That’s classic.”
“Screw you.” I lazily unfold my arms and punch Aaron in the pec.
“Son of a bitch.” Aaron glared at me and rubs the spot where I hit him. “I didn’t whack you that hard.”
“You laughed because this asshat thought I was a prick Nic dated three years ago. He was a total pansy ass. I had to prove my manhood to you,” I smirk at him.
Things are starting to make sense. If Lucas thought I was Trevor, he must have thought the baby was mine/Trevor’s. He still should have stuck around and figured things out, but misunderstandings happen. If the man truly has feelings for Nicole, he deserves the opportunity to work things out.
“Asshole.” Aaron rolls his eyes. “I’ll get her.” He turns and gives Lucas one last death glare. “You make her cry, and we’ll fuck you up. You’ll be the one that needs surgery.”
But first. I jerk my arm back and slug Lucas in the gut. “That’s for breaking my sister’s heart.” God, I’ve been dying to do that.
“Fuck,” he gasps.
“And…” I cuff him on the back of the head. “That’s for thinking I was a cocksucker.”
“You suck cock?” Aaron laughs hysterically from the stairway.
“Fuck you.” I flip him off and then turn back to Lucas and roll my eyes. “He’s an asshole. Come in.”
Lucas sucks in some air. “Maybe I should wait outside.”
“Nah, man. Come on in.” I wave at him to come inside. “You’re safe here. Leah would kick my ass if I got blood on her floor. Besides, I think you might have made a dumbass decision based on incomplete information.”
Stepping inside the door, Lucas stares up at my sister. Her hair is pulled up into a loose ponytail, and she’s wearing leggings and an oversized t-shirt. She looks like warmed over death and he’s gawking at her like she’s the most gorgeous person in the world. It’s a no brainer. He’s totally in love with her.
Nicole stops on the stairs. “I told you not to interfere.”
“Hey, I didn’t.” I raise my hands in defense. “He came here on his own, but for a doctor, he’s a real dumbass.”
Lucas arches an eyebrow and purses his lips. “Thank you.”
“Trey?” She glares at me.
“Hey, you be the judge. He thought I was Trevor.” I smile at her. “Now, that’s all the interference I’m doing.” I snatch up Molly and head to the kitchen.
As Nicole and Lucas descend the stairs, we stand there waiting for them – Aaron, Leah, and myself. Aaron and I stand on each side of Leah with cocked back heads and blown out chests.
At this point, it’s total overkill. They’ve been upstairs for over an hour. After the first bed squeak, I put in my earbuds and spent the time texting with Natalie. There’s no way I want to listen to my youngest sister get repeatedly plowed by the good doctor.
