son?”
“Yes,
sir. Didn’t know you were here.”
“Apologize
to my daughter, you dumb fuck.” He smacked the back of the teen’s head.
“I
didn’t mean it, Ash. Rylan just pisses me off. He wants you, and then he
doesn’t want you, but no fucking one else can talk to you or date you. It’s
just fun to get under his skin,” groused the red faced teen.
“I-I
don’t know what to say.” A trail of tears leaked from her eyes. “It’s so over,
Rex. I am so embarrassed right now for even liking you, and Rylan, he’s right.”
She pointed a finger at him. “ Your hot to cold shit—I
mean stuff—is pissing me off. Boys suck. Mom, please get me out of here.”
Ailyn
watched as Mia hugged her daughter and walked her to the car while Dire opened
the door to usher them in.
Rylan
hopped in his truck while Rex took off on his crotch rocket. Lucky for her, the
neighbors’ lights didn’t flicker on during the fiasco. She turned to her
brother.
“Teens
are something else, huh .”
“Just
think , Eva will be one of them in a few years.” He
shook his head. “Thanks, I couldn’t keep them boys from killing each other.
Damn young adults and hormones. Ash gonna be good?”
“Yeah,
her parents are fair. I think her mortification is probably punishment enough,
but I’m sure Dire will instill the fear of doing stupid stuff in her tonight.
Mia is more calm , like me. She’s going to baby her and
have the talk again. I know from
conversation Ash has a special promise ring from her father to remind her of
his wishes for her to make good personal choices.”
“That
boy was closer to having her naked and under him than she told you.” Cordero
didn’t elaborate.
“Really? So not surprised. I’m not a fool. I know my students
don’t always tell the full story. I figured with how distraught Ashland appeared,
there was more to the story. They’ll figure it out.” Ailyn yawned and hugged
her brother. “Thank you for everything.”
“No
worries, sis. So how did telling him go?”
“ Uh …I didn’t tell him.” They walked up
the front porch together. Once inside, she sat on the couch and heard something
squish under her ass cheek. She pulled out an open condom wrapper, condom still
tucked inside. “Looks like Rylan showed up at the right time. At least there
was protection.” She sighed.
“Yeah.” He sat by her and leaned back. “Fuck, man. Why didn’t you tell him, sis?”
“I
don’t know. I know I have to, but saying the words out loud, I’m just not
ready. I didn’t prepare for what to do if he popped up. It’s so complicated. I
just need time.”
Her
brother looked at her as if she was missing some screws in her brain. He rubbed
his arms and yawned.
“Adrenalin
still kicking high from restraining those boys?”
“Yeah,
it’ll drop off soon. I should go hit the gym since I’m wired but it’s too late.
I’m worried, sis, about this, you and Seth. More secrets can only lead to more
issues. Have you even thought about what not telling him could result in?”
“No.
I mean I’m sure he’ll be mad but that’s not my concern. This is about our
precious girl upstairs. I’m not saying I don’t care about his feelings, you
know that, and you know why I freaked and moved far away from home. I promise
to think about telling him sooner rather than later. I love that you worry
about me but don’t judge.”
“It’s
your funeral, sis. Let me tell you if my ex kept me in the dark for ten years,
saw me, spent time with me and didn’t tell me, I’d be bent as fuck. Omissions
can cut the soul. A man’s seed is important to him. Tell him.”
She
grabbed his hand and stared straight into his eyes. “I appreciate your opinion,
I do, but don’t steamroll me on this. I will talk to him when I’m ready.”
“Later.”
He kissed her cheek before heading out.
