here, she doesn’t need to see the evidence for herself. She’s his mother for crying out loud!
“Brandon?” Laura repeats.
“Laura! What are you doing?” I hear Franky join her and stare wide eyed at Brandon.
As Laura and Franky talk amongst themselves on the other side of the door, I pull Brandon’s shirt over my head. It comes to my knees so that should do. Brandon puts on some trousers and I smooth my fingers through my hair, trying to not make it look like I have sex hair. When Brandon checks to see that I’m ready, he opens the door and in runs Laura with a wide smile on her face.
“Oh Lauren! I thought I would find you here.” Oh my god did she really just say that? I see Brandon smirking behind his mum, right at me the bastard. “I wanted to ask you, if you wanted to come shopping?”
“Shopping?” I ask excitedly. “Yes!”
“No.” Brandon answers. “That’s not going to happen.”
“What?” Laura asks. “Why?”
“I need to watch over her.” Brandon tells his mum, sounding annoyed once again.
“I’m not a baby.” I protest.
“I know that.” Brandon frowns. “I just can’t have you in danger.”
“He’s right Lauren.” Franky steps in. “We don’t know where Demon is.”
“Oh come on!” Laura begs Franky. “Send someone with us. I really need to get out and I want Lauren to come with me. She deserves a break.”
Franky heavily sighs. “What do you say VP?”
“I say fuck no!” Brandon shouts. His mum carries on begging and eventually Brandon gives in. “Fine, but I go with you.”
“What?” Laura scrunches her nose. “Do you have to?”
I can’t help but laugh at Laura. Her expressions are so funny.
“Both of you aren’t going anywhere without me.” Brandon crosses his arms and stares at both me and Laura.
“Deal,” I quickly agree and Laura rolls her eyes at me.
“Deal,” She sulks.
I don’t mind him coming at all. In fact, I’m actually really looking forward to spending some time with Brandon outside this clubhouse.
“Great.” Laura claps. “Let’s get ready and shop!”
She turns to walk out and just before Brandon can close the door behind her, Laura turns back around. “For god’s sake son, clean this crap hole! You have a girl in here for Christ’s sake!”
With that, she walks out and Franky just shrugs his shoulders laughing as he follows her.
Chapter 44
Ready for my shopping trip, I go in search of the girls while Brandon has to talk ‘business’ with his dad. As soon as I step into the main club room, I hear a squealing and see three women running up to me. When I’m able to have some space, I see that it’s Drew, Elise and Natasha.
“What’s the matter with you?” I ask them with a laugh.
“Are you crazy?” Natasha laughs back.
“You and Grim!” Elise jumps with excitement.
I can’t help but bite down on my lower lip and I feel my cheeks burn with embarrassment. At this they all laugh and drag me over to a nearby table. They all seem to be in some sort of shock.
“I can’t believe he got you up to dance.” Drew exclaims.
“What’s the big deal?” I ask. I need to know why they all stared at us with open mouths and wide eyes.
“Honey,” Elise starts. “Grim doesn’t do this! He doesn’t flirt or kiss.”
“Or dance!” Drew adds. “He’s changed.”
“No, he’s still Grim but with you, he acts different and I like it.” Elise smiles.
“Usually they just claim a woman by grabbing her by the arm and disappear into their rooms. I’m glad he’s different with you.” Drew admits.
“Yeah, so am I.” I grumble. Then her words repeat in my head. Claiming!?
“Wait! Back up a minute, claiming?” I ask them.
Natasha looks as confused as I do, but Drew and Elise lower their heads.
“That’s the worst part of this life.” Drew grumbles. “The men, once they like you and want you they put a claim on you.”
“It’s so everyone knows where you stand, and the men can get very territorial, so in the long run it actually helps.” Elise tries to soften the blow.
“So you’re telling me that Brandon has claimed me?” I ask them in disbelief. I think back to what he said last night. That he wants me, and that I’m his and the reality of it hits me. He really has claimed me.
“Well, by that show last night it looks like it’s a bit more than that.” Drew giggles and I look at her like she’s crazy.
