*Two Years Later*
"Who the fuck told you, you can touch my fiancee?"
I hold the guy up against the wall. He's a student who has the same course with Kim, the fucker honestly thought he could touch her hand. Nobody touches what's mine!
"Brandon."
Kim's small hands pull me back but I don't budge.
The moment I walked in and saw him holding her hand and waist I lost it.
"Brandon put him down,you'll hurt him."
He's a nerd. With his funny spectacles,he looks like that character Harry from Harry Potter.
I let him go and he picks up his books from the floor in a hurry.
"Oh my God Harry,I'm so sorry."
Well fuck,he is Harry after all.
Kim touches his arm and the poor guy's eyes snap to me in fear.
"Don't worry,it's just Brandon being....well Brandon. He's not always like this, he just doesn't know you that's why."
"O-okay, it's alright. See you around."
He scurries off so fast he nearly hits in the corner as he turns.
Kim spins around with eyes glaring and a hand hiked up on her hip.
"That was so unnecessary. He was just teaching me how to dance Tango."
"I know how to dance,I could have taught you myself if you'd just asked me."
"But he's a nice guy,he's harmless."
"Yeah right, he's harmless but he has a dick."
"Brandon," she scolds.
I pull her to me, I'll never get tired of her soft body against my hard one.
I stroke my thumb on her throat. Hmm, its too plain I need to mark it again,just incase some fuckers start having ideas.
I bite down on her neck,hard enough to leave a hickey.
"Ouch! What are you doing?"
"Marking you again so that they see you're mine." I lick my splendid work and she shudders
"You're impossible," she rolls her eyes.
"Those eyes will be rolling at the back of your head once I get you home and pound into your cunt until you scream the roof down."
Her plump lips part. Good, the message is through.
* *Days Later* *
It's a Saturday and my mom happened to be running some errands in this town, so she dropped by and Kim being the, "sweetheart," as she calls her, insisted she stayed the night, so she's supposed to head back to Blackwool early tomorrow.
My mother has always liked Kimberly,the two now have a bond that seems to be unbreakable, teaming up against me all the time,like right now.
"No,no alcohol this time Brandon, seriously."
My mom hikes her hand on her hip,with a scolding voice and serious facial expression.
"I'm not going to drink,I don't know how many times I'm supposed to say this."
"Well,I don't believe you, you'll be with the guys."
"And?"
"I'm a hundred percent sure you'll drink."
Ever since that time alcohol almost killed me,when Kim got back with Ronan,the two most important women in my life monitor me like crows,no matter how many times I assure them that I'm done with drinking,they don't seem to believe me.
I sigh in exhaustion.
The guys and I are throwing a reunion gathering,not much people,just the old football team members and a few of the cheerleaders back from highschool.
"Don't worry,I'll make sure he doesn't taste a drop."
Kimberly speaks from the doorway,she carries a box of snacks and places it on the counter then turns to face me, mirroring my mom's posture.
I look at her with so much adoration,the feeling never wears off,every time I look at her it feels like the first.
"Good,I trust you sweetie," my mom smiles at her then walks out of the kitchen.
"I'll be watching you," she glares at me.
I stand and make my way over to her, wrapping my hands around her waist,I look into her eyes.
"If you'll keep me busy,we won't have any problem with alcohol."
She gets the hint of my flirting and her eyes gain an extra glare.
"No."
"Yes."
"Brandon,stop,your mom is here."
"As if she's not used to it."
She gasps in surprise which makes me chuckle.
"That's because you don't listen or care but I do,it's still awkward for me."
My phone rings and I let her go, Michael flashes on the screen.
"It's Michael,I have to take this."
"Hello?"
"Bro,are you done?"
"Almost,what's up?"
We speak for a few minutes and then he ends the call,I turn to face Kim who is patiently waiting.
"I should go and get dressed." I kiss the top of her head and walk out.
After I get ready to leave,I find Kimberly seated on the sofa, busy on her phone,I kiss the top of her head from behind,she turns on her side, resting her arm on top of the sofa head.
She and the other girls will come afterwards,once we are done with getting everything in order. My phone rings and Xander flashes on the screen.
"Hold on baby,I need to take this," I move away from her and answer.
"Hello?"
"Change of plans man,I can make it."
"Thank fuck,how long can it take you to get to the drill?"
"In about two hours and a half."
"Better."
"One question,is she going to be there?" He asks with a hint of hope.
"No she's not,she's leaving for Seattle today,that's why you can come."
"All good man, you think she still doesn't want to see me?"
"Honestly,I don't know,it's been what? Two years?"
"Yeah,but you know how women are,they hold the longest fucking grudges."
He sighs.
"Well,see you there."
He hangs up.
I say goodbye to Kim, promising to pick her up later and then i head out.
* *Hours Later* *
"Finally...the love birds are here," Lenny opens his arms wide.
"I see you two are still fucking like rabbits," Jonathan grins.
Naomi smacks him upside the head, some things never change.
I smile at them and sit next to Lenny.
We chat and catch up, reminding each other of the fun and stupids things we used to do back in high school.
About an hour later, everyone seems to be tipsy and having fun, Kim on the other hand seems to be missing her other best friend.
"Hi everybody!!"
Our heads turn and Sam stands there with wide arms and a bright smile.
"Sam?" Kim frowns and so do I,then she stands and hugs her friend excitedly.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kim asks the same question I internally ask myself.
What the fuck is she doing here?
"Well...my flight was cancelled,I just realized I can't miss this reunion thing you know!"
"Omg and your uncle?"
"He's okay with it,hi guys!"
Fuck.
I pull out my phone and dial Xander's number,he doesn't pick up, I'm about to try for the second time when my phone is snatched from my fingers and I look up at Kim.
"No distractions,we are here to have fun."
She presses the side button, locking the screen without checking,I sigh in relief,one less problem, had she seen who I was calling, she would have flipped,now I just have to ask for one of the guy's phones so that I can call Xander.
"Party without me?" The fucker says with a wide grin, showcasing his dimples.
Sam freezes, her spine snaps straight and her face goes pale.
Shit, it's too late, not that Xan minds being around Sam, but Sam doesn't want to breathe the same air with him. At this point, I don't want Sam getting upset because that means Kim will be furious.
And right now,I've fucking screwed up big time.
"Yo Xan," Lenny stands to give him a bro hug.
Jonathan must catch on because he looks at me in a, "you're fucked" kind of way. Then he gets up to welcome Xander.
"Hey there Naomi, it's good to see you.''
"You too Xan," she smiles at him politely.
"Xander?" Kim whispers.
She was and still is closest with him than any other guy who we were friends with in high school,but she's been trying hard to keep peace and avoid chaos by making sure Sam And Xan are never in the same room.
"Xander.." she stands and hugs him.
Sam doesn't lift her gaze from the table and Xan pauses at seeing her around.
His eyes soften and his face is etched with surprise, no, Shock, probably at seeing her here.
He takes a step forward and she visibly tenses. He opens his mouth to speak but Kim blocks his view of her, pleading with her eyes.
Xander looks at me and I shake my head.
Don't do it Xan.
He stares back at me with fresh hurt returning to his eyes, he looks back at Sam with so much desperation. She doesn't dare look up, It's been years since they stared each other in the face.
A tear slides down Sam's cheek, then she abruptly stands and leaves, literally running to the door.
Xander turns to follow but Lenny blocks him.
"No man, don't," he stops him.
Kim stands and I stare up at her very red and angry face.
"You told him to come even while knowing Sam was here?"
"I didn't know she would, I tried to tell him not to but he wasn't picking up."
"I can't believe this Brandon," she turns to look at Xander.
"I'm so sorry Xan,but I can't do this again,I hope you understand," her eyes and voice soften.
That's the thing about Kim,she never takes sides,she's always the middle ground, the peace maker while we all fuck it up in some way.
Xander nods and she rubs his arm once.
Her eyes find mine and the softness vanishes.
And then she storms out
I.Am.Fucked.
