“I’m sorry babe, but this is Brody. He’s hardly going to punch you when he finds out, and I’ve talked to him about it. He knows how I feel about you, and he’s going to be happy,” Ipromised.
“I know you’ve talked to him, but knowing you liked me and us actually being together are two differentthings.”
“You’re worrying over nothing,” I whispered, leaning over and kissing him. He reached his hands up and into my hair, pulling me closer toward him. Deepening the kiss, he gently bit down on my lip and I opened my mouth to him, my tongue caressing his. A deafening thud startled us apart and looking up, I saw Brody standing in front of the car, his hands on thehood.
“Worrying over nothing huh?” Josh said, his eyes never leaving Brody’s annoyedface.
I jumped out of the car, marching straight to Brody. “What are you doing?” I cried, pulling him off the hood of the car. He turned to face me, his back to the car. He winked at me with a smirk on his face before quickly turning back to face Josh, who had now climbed out of the car and was making his way toward me. Josh reached for my wrist and gently tugged me behind him. Confused, I lethim.
“Brody—”
“Why do you have your tongue down my baby sister’s throat?” Brody snapped, stepping closer to Josh. Josh took a step back and I moved with him. “Do you not remember my warning for you to stay away fromher?”
“Brody, that was years ago. Look man, we’re together. I’m sorry you had to find out like that, I was just on my way to talk toyou.”
“She isn’t one of your normal lays Josh, this is my sister!” Brody shouted, throwing his hands in the air. “Mypregnantsister.”
“Brody!” I exclaimed, trying to get around Josh to him. Josh put his arm out to the side and gently pushed me back behind him. I could see that Brody had seen what Josh had done, and a small smile tugged on hislips.
“I’m fully aware that she’s pregnant Brody!” Josh exclaimed, seemingly not aware of Brody’s half-smile. I felt Josh reach for me, his arm going around my shoulder as I was pulled into his side. “I love her, okay! We’re friends Brody, best friends, but if you make me choose, I’ll choose Sav, everytime.”
“And you love him?” Brody asked, looking at me and gesturing toJosh.
I nodded before looking up at Josh. “Yes, more than anything,” I said quietly, my eyes gazing into Josh’s. He smiled and I smiledback.
“Well it’s about time!” Brody exclaimed, stepping toward Josh and slapping him on theback.
“What?” Josh asked, looking from me toBrody.
“I was just messing with you!” Brody exclaimed,laughing.
“That was cruel!” I told him, stepping away from Josh and smacking Brody on thearm.
“I couldn’t be happier that you and Sav are together, although I have to admit, I never saw it coming. I found out recently that she liked you, but I had no idea you felt the same,” he said, winking at meagain.
“You bastard!” Josh exclaimed. “I really thought I was going to end up punching you.” He laughed and shoved Brody, who stumbled backward, laughing. Brody shoved him back and I rolled my eyes at both ofthem.
“Obviously if you ever hurt her, we’re going to have a problem,” Brody said, the laughing suddenlystopping.
“We’re not going to have a problem, Brode. I’m not going to hurt her,” he assured him, smiling over atme.
“Good, because between me and Dad, we could do some seriousdamage!”
“Okay, okay,” I said, raising my hands. “I think we’ve had enough macho behaviortoday.”
“I better get back to work. I’ll catch up with you both later though, okay? I guess you’ll be around here more now then Josh.” Brodysmirked.
“Try all the time,” Josh replied, grinning atme.
Brody smiled and shook his head. “Another one down.” He laughed. “First Mason, and nowyou!”
“You next then Brode.” I wriggled myeyebrows.
Laughing again, he shook his head. “No thanks! Why tie myself down to one when I can havemany?”
“You man-whore,” I fired back at him. “When the right girl comes along, you’re not going to know what’s hityou.”
“Not me Sav. I’m pretty happy playing the field. I won’t be settling down any time soon,” he assuredme.
