Chapter 72 Chapter Seventy-Two
About an hour into Lilly's nap my phone buzzes and I fish it out of my pocket. Who the hell is texting me? I roll my eyes. Why is Raikin texting me?
Raikin: Did you talk to Lilly?
Did I talk to Lilly? I love my brother but what kind of stupid ass question is that? What the hell would I have been doing up here for this long if I didn't talk to Lilly?
Me: Yeah
Raikin: Does she hate me now?
I smile. I guess I should have told him a while ago how the talk went. I feel a little bad for calling his question stupid. I guess for all he knows Lilly could still love me and absolutely hate him.
Me: No. She doesn't hate you. You just hurt her feelings. She was worried you hated her after the things you said.
Raikin: What? No I don't hate her.
Raikin: Did you tell her I didn't hate her?
Raikin: Even if she did fuck Logan I still wouldn't hate her. I was just mad.
I chuckle. Wow I have never seen him this worried about a girl before. It's kind of nice to see him like this. Maybe Lilly will be the girl to get him over his trust issues.
That is if she didn't do anything to break our trust. The no panties thing had to be just because she had just showered and stuff right. There is no way she slept with Logan. Sleeping with someone besides me was the whole reason she was upset to begin with. It wouldn't make sense for her to sleep with Logan.
Me: Dude calm down. I told her you don't hate her. She knows you were just mad. I told her you would talk to her later.
Raikin: Why later? If everything is okay why can't I talk to her now?
Me: She is sleeping. I promised to hold her while she napped. You can talk to her later.
Raikin: Oh okay.
I roll my eyes again. Wow that was like dealing with a clingy ex girlfriend that doesn't know when to give up. I set my phone down thinking this conversation is over. A second later it buzzes again. Reece. What does Reece want?
Reece: Did you tell her I also don't hate her?
I have to bite my tongue to keep from laughing out loud. I bet they are sitting next to each other right now. Why didn't Reece just have Raikin ask me that? These two are ridiculous.
Me: No bro. I told her you fucking hate her and Raikin is in love with her.
Reece responds almost faster than I can hit send. This time I do chuckle.
Reece: What the fuck dude? You better be joking. (angry face emoji)
I roll my eyes. Seriously?
Me: Yes I am just kidding. You guys are ridiculous. You can talk to her yourself after she wakes up.
Reece: (middle finger emoji)
I laugh and Lilly starts moving a little bit. Oh shit I hope I didn't wake her up. She moans softly and stretches a little.
She opens her eyes up and looks at me. "Hey baby. Did I wake you up?" I ask, pushing the hair away from her face.
She shakes her head. Rubbing her eyes. "No you didn't. How long was I asleep?" She asks sleepily.
"A little over an hour baby. You can go back to sleep." I kiss the top of her head.
"No. I need to get up and take a shower. I really need to talk to your brothers."
I nod my head. "Okay baby. You can take a shower and meet us downstairs I know they are really wanting to talk to you."
Lilly smiles softly. "Okay I will see you in a little bit." She tilts her head up and I kiss her once.
"Okay baby." I sit up, taking Lilly with me.
We climb out of bed and she walks over to her dresser, bending over to get something out of the bottom drawer. Her shirt rides up some showing the bottom of her ass. Fuck I love that view so much.
I walk towards the door. If I don't leave now I will end up bending her sexy ass over and doing every dirty thing I can think of to her. "I'll see you in a little bit baby. Have a nice shower."
She grabs her stuff and stands up walking towards the door. "Okay Ryder. I love you."
I smile at that. "I love you too baby."
I make my way downstairs. I check the den first but Reece and Raikin aren't in there. I make my way to the living room and I stop outside the door when I hear my dad talking.
"Are you guys sure Ryder and Lilly aren't messing around?" My dad asks and I have to bite my tongue to keep from laughing.
Reece is the one to answer him. "Yes. We are sure. Why do you keep asking that?"
Dad huffs. "Because they are constantly together and I have seen the way he looks at her."
The way I look at her? What about the way she looks at me? She's always watching me, looking at me like I'm some kind of meal.
Raikin chimes in this time. "He's being a protective brother, dad. Nothing else. Have you not seen her? She's gorgeous. The guys in this damn town are always drooling over her."
