Girl Vs World

Chapter 16

I smiled. He handed me a book and on the cover written in italics was "Brother and Sister". I opened the book to find many pictures of when we were about ten years old and older. Scott had taken a lot of pictures with the camera one of the helpers had given him as a present.

I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. This was the sweetest thing Scott could've given me.

Paging through the book, I laughed at a photo that was taken on my 16th birthday. Scott had stolen bedsheets and cut it up, trying to make me a dress. It looked horrible but I wore it with a big smile, with the red lipstick he stole from Miss. Granger.

Going down memory lane was like a breath of fresh air. Scott and I were brother and sister no matter what.

I hugged the book close to me. "Thanks Scott."

"Always Lil." He smiled. "Before I forget. I need you to do me a small favour."

"Err, what?"

"I need you to drop this document off at the reception please." He went to his room and gave me a small envelope.

"Sure."

"Thanks, I just don't feel like going down those stairs again." He complained.

"I forgot how lazy you are." I shook my head laughing.

After I handed the envelope to the receptionist. I noticed the beautiful flowers outside.

The flowers smelled beautiful. When I was younger, my mom and I use to plant flowers all the time. We had a beautiful garden, filled with pretty flowers. My little sister Rose never liked to get her hands dirty and was always busy raiding my mom's closet and make-up. Rose would've been thirteen this year. I imagine her as very pretty, very much into make up and fashion. I smiled at the thought.

Brody's POV

Fuck! Who the hell is Rider?

"I'm gonna go get a drink. Can I get you anything?" I asked Lily as she sat with her left leg over her right leg. Looking hot in a black crop top and skinny blue, high waisted jeans.

Shit she was hot. Wait. I already said that.

"No thanks." Her voice so sweet.

I couldn't be more grateful to Mrs. Walker for making Lily and me partners. I mean how lucky can a guy get to be paired with such an amazing girl.

I remembered the first time I saw her was when she laughed loudly in Art class. I could see she was a bit embarassed but I found it cute. And then when the teacher asked her why she laughed, she face palmed herself. Too cute for words.

I've watched the video I made of her when she laughed quite a few times. And by a few times, I really meant a couple hundred times. She made me feel giddy when she laughed. No girl has ever made me feel that way.

I was busy sulking in my room. I was so angry about the Rider dude. I had no clue who he was but I was going to find out. I decided not to let it get to me and about fifteen minutes later I walked into the living room.

"Dude, where's Lily?" I asked Scott who was sprawled out on the couch when I saw that Lily was no where to be found. I hope she didn't go home just yet. Maybe I could give her a ride home.

"She dropped something for me by the receptionist." He mumbled.

"I need to go fetch something in my car real quick. Be right back."

I ran down the stairs. Thankfully by next week the elevators will be fixed.

As I made my way out of the building, I saw Lily standing by this small group of pink flowers, admiring it with a smile.

Oh that smile.

She looked so sexy it was hard not to check her out.

God she had a smokin' body.

Damn. Not to mention her ass.

Could you get anyone more perfect than her. No my subconscious said.

"Oh hey , Brody." I loved the way she said my name.

I'm seriously whipped.

"Hey. You got a ride home?" I asked, trying to look and sound cool.

"Shit." She whispered to herself and then looked up. "Uhm, no. I forgot to call my dad."

"I could ride you home. I don't mind." I shrugged.

"Thanks." She said with a smile.

"No problem." I grinned.

"Let me just get my bag." She pointed to the building as I nodded.

I waited for her standing by the passenger seat door.

I watched her walk towards the car with such confidence like she belonged on the runway. Kendall Jenny or was it Jenno? I don't know but whoever she was, she got nothing on Lily Gomez. When her gaze caught mine, she looked to the ground. I could see a small blush forming.

This girl.

"Did I tell you how gorgeous you are before?" I asked. My tone seriously curious. She stopped about two feet away from me.

"No, I don't think so." She giggled.

"Well Miss Gomez. You're gorgeous." I said with a charming smile.

I opened the passenger door and let her in.

I whistled my way to the driver's seat.

I asked her address and she gave it to me.

I turned on the radio and a song by Nick Jonas started playing. The song definitely described how I was feeling.

Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody wants a taste that's why
I still get jealous 🎶

"So. Who's Rider?" I asked. I just couldn't keep my questions to myself. I needed to know.

She looked taken aback. "He's just a guy I spoke to." She then turned to me. "Why?"

"Because I want to make you mine. I can't have guys doing the same thing. I hate competition." I said bluntly.

She looked dumbstruck. I can't say I regret saying it 'cause really I don't. She needed to know now what my intentions were and I was not going to wait like some pussy till another guy makes a move. Nope. Not gonna happen.

"Lily Gomez. Would you like to go on a date with me please?"

The decison was hers to make. I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. I didn't know how nervous I was until I felt sweat trickle down my face and the rapid beating of my heart.

And then her answer made my heart stop.

What do you think was her answer?
