myself with my hand to try and slow my racing blood. “What
time is it? That dinner isn’t until eight, right?”
“Um,
Rory, it’s after noon already.”
“Shit!
It is? Crap, I didn’t even check my phone!” I pulled back from him and ran to
find my clothes. Marissa and Brody must be freaking out wondering when I’ll be
home.
“Relax,
Rory. Just go get dressed and I’ll take you back to your apartment.”
“Okay.
Thanks, Liam,” I called out as I ran to the bathroom to get dressed. I was
anxious to get back anyway…I had to know what happened with Marissa and Brody.
I got dressed as fast as I could, and I walked back out, holding his tee shirt.
He was dressed in loose fitting jeans, a tight black tee shirt, and motorcycle
boots. He looked orgasmic. I held out his tee shirt to him. “Here you go,” I
offered, but he held up his hand.
“Keep
it,” he said.
“Why?”
“So
you can sleep in it again and think of me.”
I
grinned and lightly kissed him on the lips. “Then I’ll sleep in it every
night.”
He
grinned at me, and we walked out of his apartment together. It was actually a
short distance to my apartment from his, so we decided to walk since it was a
nice day. When we got to my apartment building, I turned to him as I got my key
out. “So, do you want to come up for a second?” I asked.
“Actually,
I think I’ll let you go ahead. I bet you and Marissa have a lot to talk about.”
I
smiled. “We do. See you tonight?”
“Definitely.
Is seven o’clock too early to pick you up?”
“Seven
sounds perfect. Thanks for a great night, and an even better morning.” I said.
Grinning,
he pulled me into a quick kiss. “Any time,” he said, and I giggled. “See you
tonight.”
I
waved at him and unlocked my door. I raced up the stairs, not even bothering
with taking the elevator. So much had happened since last night…I had to talk
to my best friend. I unlocked my front door, and called out, “Marissa! Brody!
I’m home!”
I
heard Marissa running down the hall way from her room. “Oh my god, Rory! Where
have you been?” she said, hugging me.
“I
texted you early this morning. I was with Liam,” I said, and she grinned at me.
“I didn’t want to come home and interrupt anything between you and my brother.”
She
went from happy to sad in no time flat when her face fell. “Oh, you wouldn’t
have interrupted anything.”
“What?
Why the hell not?” I asked, leading her over to the couch. “Is Brody here?
Because I’m going to kick his fucking ass!” I swear to God if he fucked this
up…
She
sighed. “He’s not here. He got called into surgery at about five this morning.”
“So,
what happened?”
She
looked down at her hands. “I just don’t know. I mean, all this time it seemed
like he didn’t even know I was alive, and treats me like one of his buddies,
and then last night…last night when he kissed me had to be the single most amazing
moment of my life,” she said. “It was everything I ever imagined. I thought
that it was just for show to get those girls to go away and that he’d stop, but
he didn’t. He kissed me like he’d been holding back for a while. When we
finally stopped, he asked me if I wanted to go back to the apartment and talk.
I went to find you and tell you, but I saw you kissing Liam and didn’t want to
interrupt,” she said, a weak smile on her face.
“Okay,
so, what happened when you got back here? Come on, I’m dying here!”
She
sighed. “He told me that he’d actually been thinking of asking me out for a
while, especially since he got to New York, but he’s afraid he’s going to ruin
our friendship if it doesn’t work out. He told me that kissing me last night
was amazing, and that he loved it, but that he wouldn’t let it happen again.”
She had tears forming in her eyes.
“Oh,
Marissa, I’m so sorry.” I pulled her into a hug. “I love my brother very much,
but sometimes, he can be a fucking idiot. I’m going
time is it? That dinner isn’t until eight, right?”
“Um,
Rory, it’s after noon already.”
