hurt look on his face that it made Kaylee feel a twinge of guilt.
Luckily, the feeling didn't last long.
"What was that all about?" Noah asked his sister. "Don't you like Brittany?"
"Didn't you learn your lesson in high school?"
"People change, Kaylee, in case you didn't know that," Noah gestured toward Ashton.
"I know they do! I just don't trust her," she fired back. She knew Noah had a point, but Kaylee just had this feeling in her gut when it came to Brittany.
"Just give her a chance, please, Kaylee." His eyes pleaded with her. "I'm not interfering with you and Ashton. You could at least give me the same courtesy."
He was right and she knew it. Everything in her wanted to meddle and fight and interfere as hard as she could, but he was being kind by overlooking Ashton's faults. She could do the same here - even if she didn't like it one bit.
"Fine, but if she hurts you, I'll kill her." She knew that she couldn't resist the wishes of the person she was the closest to in the world. She still wasn't completely on board with the whole Brittany thing, but she'd try her hardest.
Kaylee and Noah rejoined Ashton and Brittany, only to have Ashton whisk Kaylee right away. He quickly pushed her through the crowd until they were completely on the other side of the yard.
"What the hell was that for?" Kaylee asked, feeling a little cross at being pushed the whole way without an explanation.
"That woman is a snake!" he exclaimed, his voice edged with a shudder.
"What'd she do?" Kaylee was getting madder by the minute.
"The little slut was all over me. She said she heard I was the playboy of the group, and that she and I could have a lot of fun together. I told her I wasn't interested and that I was seeing someone. She had the nerve to tell me that no one had to know, and in fact she preferred it that way."
The angrier Ashton got, the louder his voice got. It wasn't as though he had a problem with a woman who just wanted a good time - obviously he had had more than his fair share of those. But when it was a woman who claimed to want to be with Noah and tried to get with him the moment Noah turned his back, that went far beyond just wanting a "good time." That was the kind of thing that could truly hurt people, and Ashton felt dirty for simply being pulled into the middle of it.
Kaylee felt the steam rising inside of her. It was bad enough that the bimbo was playing her brother...again. But to make it worse, Brittany knew there was something going on with Kaylee and Ashton, but that didn't stop the cow from flirting with her man. 'Not that I have any stake on him, but...' Kaylee thought to herself.
"And just when I told Noah I'd give her the benefit of the doubt." She shook her head in disbelief.
"She'll hang herself soon enough," Ashton told Kaylee. He was sure she would. He had seen women of her kind before. Noah was his best friend, and he didn't want to see him hurt. But he didn't want to get involved, because he knew Noah had to see things on his own, or else he would never get rid of the girl.
"You know what, I've had enough of this party," he said, pulling Kaylee closer to his body. "How about you and I go inside, get away from these people, and have wild, crazy, dirty sex all night long."
Kaylee blushed as she looked into Ashton's eyes. She wanted nothing more than to take him up on his offer, but she still wasn't sure if he was really into their 'relationship'.
"Or..." she smiled.
"Or we could go make out until I am so sexually frustrated that I can't stand it anymore, and I beg you to have sex with me, but you still say no, and I finally pass out from frustration but I'm still surprisingly okay with that?" he said.
Kaylee laughed hard. "I like the way you think!" She led him into the house, making sure to put a little extra wiggle in her hips since she knew that's exactly where his eyes were focused.
"Uh, you're killing me. But what a sweet, sweet death."

Jenny was walking down the hall from her bedroom to the kitchen the morning after the party when she saw Kaylee and Ashton come
