"Fine," I finally gave in. "But, if Cole should ever find out..." I gave her a deadly and serious look. "I hope you realize a lot of shit will truly hit the goddamn fan for me?" I raised a brow at her.
She grimaced slightly from hearing my brother's name. Kaye's head over heels in love with my older brother, Cole. She doesn't even know I know how she feels, but I do. I have for a while now, actually. I also know that he feels the same for her. But, it's not my place to interfere between the two... Not yet, at least. Those two have been secretly playing back and forth with each other for the last year, now. I can't believe they think I'm as dumb as a bag of rocks. But, I just hope when he finally comes home on Friday night that he finally does the right thing by admitting it to her. She sure as hell deserves as much for all the hell he has put her through over the years.
"I know," she frowned slightly. "I promise, he won't find out, not as long as I have anything to say about it." she smirked, trying to convince me but i could tell she was trying to convince herself as well.
"I have no idea what to expect at this point," I admitted right before she pulled the metal doors open. I took a nervous step inside. "We better be fucking blown away tonight. I mean shi, it's the only way Ill ever get over this new worry line I now have on my forehead."

"God. I can't wait to get the fuck out of here," Cole, my dorm mate, grumbled, tossing his arm over his eyes.
"I bet I know why," I mused. "How are things going with the vivacious sassy-mouthed beauty back home, anyway?" I asked him playfully and laughed when he stuck up his middle finger up at me.
"So,are you going to move back home now since you,ve earned your business degree?" he asked, peeking at me under his arm.
I swallowed. "No. I'd rather go anywhere else, honestly. Home doesn't feel like home without my mom there anymore."
My mother's beautiful face instantly flashed before my eyes, sending an ache to my chest. Fuck, I missed her so much. I let my head fall back and focused on the ceiling, hoping to hide my emotions from Cole. I don't speak about my past to anyone. Especially anything that would conjure up dark memories.
"Then, what's your plan, Damien?" he questioned curiously.
Licking the blunt wrap I just filled with California's finest cush, I rolled it tightly, twisting it at the end and then balanced it between my lips. "I haven't really given it much thought," I admitted while slipping my lighter from my pocket.
Lighting a flame to the end, I slowly inhaled a long drag and held it in, enjoying the harsh taste of marijuana infused smoke as it burned sweetly down my throat.
I held it in for a few moments, allowing for the THC crystals that were coated on the dried broken up marijuana leaves inside the blunt to coat my lungs so the effects hit my system quicker. The room slowly began to smell of the strong Cali cush making chuckle. Cole slid his arm away from his face, turning over on his side so he was now facing me.
Gesturing the blunt towards him, he smiled before pinching it from my fingers. I crossed my legs across my bed opposite of his and laid my head back against the wall, releasing out a lung full of purple haze towards the ceiling, instantly coughing.
"Shit, Damien." He spoke up. My eyes reluctantly moved in his direction, the effects slowly creeping over my senses. 'Why not come back to North Carolina with me then?" he asked with a slight shoulder shrug before taking a hit from the blunt.
I chuckled, "So we can get high and party all summer long?" I joked back.
Sucking in another lung full of smoke, he bobbed his vigorously. "Fuck, yeah. That and we could check out that new underground club my buddy Jacks told us about last night." He said in a strained voice as he held in the smoke. "I know the owner, Zane. I'm sure he would pay good money to have us working for him. Jacks did say he needed help." I felt my lip lift slightly.
Damn, I'm not sure if it's the weed effecting me or if it's the idea of being able to work in a bdsm club, but that plan sounds amazing.
"Come on bro," his lips lifted as his now glossy eyes brightened. "Didn't you tell me not too long ago about how you wished you had taken your friends offer at becoming a partner of the bdsm club you helped design?" That slick son of a bitch...
I took another hit and then gave him a devilish smirk. "It could help line our pockets so we can open up our own like we've talked about every time we visit Sabrina's Doll house."
I really hadn't known what I was going to do especially since I packed up everything I could and split after the big fight with that bastard. I threw up my duces and left everything and everyone i know in Louisiana with him. I will never bow down to that piece of shit. He should be thanking his lucky stars that hes still breathing. The bastard better sleep with one eye open...
Raising a brow, I looked at him, questionably. "And, your mom and sister, they would be ok with a random guy they don't even know moving in for with them for the summer?"
He laughed. "My mom won't be a problem, trust me."
Hell, what could be the harm in actually doing something I'm passionate about? Plus, in a small southern town like Eden it would be a piece of cake to keep my true identity a secret...
Inhaling another drag from the blunt, I pursed my lips and gave him a wink. "Fuck it. I'm game bro...fuck, I'm already imagining the women I'm gonna... Train."
