a good girl. I want you to help Danny when I’m gone, he’s taking this so hard and I don’t want him to be alone. I know that he has Jordan, but he needs family. The sharks in the water will be circling the minute I’m gone, and I don’t want anyone to take advantage of my baby.”
“I’ll stay with him for a couple of weeks, I promise. Danny has a good heart; I won’t let anything happen to him.”
“Thank you, you’d better go before your mother tears down the door. Make sure to come back and visit me when you get a chance, but try to keep Danny occupied as much as you can,” she said as she was lost to another coughing fit.
“I will, I love you Aunt Jen.”
“Love you too sweetheart.”
I made sure she was comfortable and helped her with another drink before leaving the room. I glanced around the hallway, but my mother was nowhere to be seen. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I wouldn’t have to deal with her.
I smiled as I realized my mother had been duped by not only me, but my aunt as well. Things were going to turn ugly when she found out, but I wasn’t worried. I had Drake, Danny, and Jordan to protect me, as well as Logan once we were back at school. I wasn’t the type to ask for help from others, but I knew I needed it when it came to her. She would be mad enough to physically hurt me if she got the chance, and if she had any of her friends with her at the time, things would go from bad to worse.
Just as I made it to the top of the stairs, I saw my mother leaving and then Drake coming through the door just seconds later. I stopped and took a minute to look at him. He must have found the pool outside, because his hair was dripping wet and hanging down into his eyes as he walked from the door to the room I left him and Jordan in earlier.
He was absolutely stunning, no doubt about it and I started to imagine myself running my hands through his wet hair. The mere thought of touching him had me excited, but I quickly pushed it away. If I didn’t, I would walk into that room and tackle him while Danny and Jordan watched. While he might enjoy it, I wasn’t sure I could say the same for the other two.
I took my time walking down the stairs, trying to calm myself from my previous thoughts. When I reached the doorway, I stopped at the sound of Drake and Jordan laughing. While they had both agreed to try to get along, I had never expected them to be sitting together and laughing just a few hours after their fight.
“Nice, it’s a shame that I missed that show.” I heard Drake say as he laughed.
“Yeah it is, that woman is insane! Wait until I tell Chloe, she’ll get a kick out of it!” Jordan said.
“I’ll get a kick out of what, Jordan?” I asked as I came around the corner and into the room.
Three pairs of amused eyes fell onto me. I was surprised to see just how happy Drake looked.
“I take it everything went well?” he asked.
I made my way over to him and kissed him on the lips, letting all of my desire from the staircase flow into the kiss.
“Oh, it went better than well. I’d say perfect is a better description. Everything is going to be taken care of.” I said as Drake broke out into a grin.
“Glad to hear it babe.” He said as he pulled me into his lap.
“So what was everyone laughing about when I came in?” I asked.
Jordan started laughing again. “Nothing much, I told your mom to fuck off, she didn’t take it very well.”
I had to laugh at the expression on his face; he looked like someone told him Christmas came early. “And why did you do that? Was she bothering you guys again?”
“Nah, just bitching because Jen kicked her out of the room. I think I made her mad, so she took off. The way I see it, it was a two for one special. I told her off and she left; can’t beat those odds.”
“You’re horrible Jordan, but I love it,” I said as I settled back against Drake’s chest.
We sat and hung out for a while, talking and
