Chapter 55 Chapter Fifty-Five
I huff. “I can’t help it. Do you know how many scary things happen in basements in the movies?”
Brandon laughs. “Don’t worry baby. I will keep you safe.”
“You better.” I say following reluctantly behind him.
We walk towards the back of the house and I can hear the guys hollering and laughing. Sounds like they are having fun. We stop in front of a white wooden door and Brandon turns around to face me. "We have arrived at the basement." Brandon says it in a spooky way and I slap his chest playfully.
"Don't be a dick." I tell him while laughing.
Brandon laughs wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Come on baby. The guys are going to be excited to see you!"
We make our way down the stairs and I am surprised by how nice it is down here. The floor is concrete, and the walls are painted a beautiful royal blue color. The guys are playing pool over in one corner and along one wall there is a T.V. that could pass as a theater screen.
In front of the T.V. is a large black leather couch, and there are three matching black leather recliners along side the couch. On the other side of the room there are a few arcade style games lined up. There is even a bar and concession stand type area set up in the back of the room.
"Wow. This is not what I was expecting when you said basement."
Brandon laughs. "So you're not scared anymore?"
I shrug. "It may be nice but it's still a basement."
"You are funny baby." Brandon says smiling at me. "Look who's here guys!" Brandon hollers to the guys who are arguing about their game of pool.
They all turn to look at me. "Lilly, you're here!" Calvin practically screams, running over to me. He picks me up spinning me around the room and I squeal laughing.
"Calvin put me down!" I say putting my hands on his shoulders to steady myself.
"I can't baby. I missed you too much!" Calvin says spinning me around again.
"Well, I missed you too, but you can still put me down!"
Calvin laughs. He let's go of me and I slide down the front of his body. "I'm glad you are here baby." Calvin says kissing my cheek.
"I missed you too"
Harrison is next. Pulling me into a tight hug. "Hey sweetheart, I missed you."
"I missed you too Harrison."
Aaron pulls me towards him as soon as Harrison lets go. Giving me a kiss on the cheek then my jaw and then my neck making me shiver. "Damn baby. That is a big hickey." My eyes go wide. I completely forgot about the hickey. Shit, shit, shit how do I explain that.
"Logan you are going to have to be more gentle next time or at least let me in on it." Aaron says laughing. I look at Logan who looks confused. "You should have called me baby the three of us could have had some fun together."
"I um, I it's not what your thinking." I stumble over my words not sure how to explain the situation with my step brothers. "It's just-"
Realization crosses over Logan's face and he laughs. A laugh that sounds forced. "Sorry bro. I just needed some alone time with my girl." He says as he's walking over to me and Aaron.
I look at him apologeticly and he smiles at me but it doesn't reach his eyes. "Hey baby. I missed you."
"I missed you too." I whisper in his ear when he pulls me into a hug.
"You want to play some pool?" Logan ask nodding his head towards the pool table.
I bite my lip nervously. "Umm I've never played before. I can watch you guys play though."
"Or I can teach you." Logan whispers in my ear.
His breath tickles my ear. "I'll just watch for now."
"Okay baby." Logan kisses my cheek and takes my hand pulling me over to the pool table. "You can sit on this bar stool and look sexy while we play." Logan says patting a bar stool and I laugh.
"I'll try my best to look sexy."
Calvin slaps my ass making me yelp. "You don't have to try baby."
I roll my eyes and all the guys laugh. "How about we start a new game?" Harrison suggests.
"You only want to start a new game because you were losing the first one." Aaron says and I can't help but laugh.
"Fuck you dude." Harrison says punching Aaron's arm.
Logan rolls his eyes laughing. "You were both losing. So I don't know what you are fighting about."
Aaron and Harrison turn to look at Logan and flip him off simultaneously. I burst out laughing. "Have you guys been fighting like this all day?"
"Pretty much." Brandon says coming to stand beside me.
I laugh. "Well, now I wish I would have come over sooner."
"Me too." Brandon says winking at me, after looking down my shirt.
“Dude, are you seriously looking down her shirt right now?” Calvin asks.
Brandon shrugs. “Yeah, I am. She’s got nice tits.”
My face heats up and my eyes widen in shock. I can’t believe he just said that he didn’t even try to deny it. He just openly said he was looking down my shirt, and that I have nice tits. “Umm, thanks I think.” Not sure what else to say.
Brandon wriggles his eyebrows at me. “No problem baby.
Laughing I turn my attention back to the guys setting the balls up for their game. “Who wants to go first?” Logan asks looking around at the guys.
“Doesn’t matter to me, maybe Lilly should choose.” Calvin says looking at me and my eyes widen.
“Me? Why Me?”
“We want to see who your favorite is!” Calvin says smiling at me mischievously.
I raise an eyebrow at him. “Well, now I’m really not picking who goes first. I don’t have a favorite.”
Calvin laughs. “I think the giant hickey on your neck would beg to differ.”
My face turns bright red and I turn to look at Logan. His eyes flash with an unreadable expression. Irritation? Jealousy? Hurt maybe? I definitely need to talk to him about my hickey, but what do I say. Ryder was marking me as his? Yeah that would no go over to well. I am not sure why he took the blame for the hickey, we both know he didn’t do it. Was he protecting me? Or did he not want his friends to know what a whore I am?
