Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 9

It's been two months and we were throwing another house party. This time it was because Colson just finished his newest album and we had Darren home for this one.

Music was blasting through the house, people were smoking and drinking, dancing, and celebrating with Colson. I was in the kitchen finishing up a glass of peach vodka, Darren and Dana were dancing in the living room and Kells was somewhere unknown. He had been making his way around the house getting compliments from everyone.

Just as I'm finishing up my glass, I have an arm wrap around my shoulders. Lo and behold, it's Colson with a huge smile on his face.

"This is awesome yo! This shit is bumpin'!" He says over the music. I smile and laugh, decently buzzed from the vodka.

"Well, you deserve this. Look how far you've come." He unwraps his arm from me and grabs the bottle of vodka I was just drinking from.

"Why don't we have a drink together. I wouldn't be where I am without you. And Darren too, but mostly you." We both chuckle as he pours two glasses of the drink.

"I'll take that comment with pride." I say and pick up the glass, throwing back the liquid. Colson does the same, giving a quick yelp after.

"This shit's good." He says and sets down the glass. "Let's go out to the pool. Barely anybody is out there."

"Yea, okay. I just got to change first." He smiles.

"I'll follow you up. Don't want to lose you now." I don't know why but that comment made my heart jump a little.

We head up the stairs to my room. I head inside, but he stands outside the door.

"What are you doing?" I ask him with furrowed brows.

"I'll stay out here until you get changed." I chuckle.

"Don't be stupid. Get in here." His face looks surprised as he walks in. Colson plops down on my bed and waits. "Just be a gentleman and don't stare." I open my draw and begin to look for my bathing suit.

"Don't stare huh? So that means I can look right?" He jokes, laughing afterward.

"You've already seen me naked. What difference does it make?" I say with unknown confidence. Colson becomes quiet. I look over to find him looking down at his hands, flustered. His eyes glance up and meet mine before shooting back down. I was only in my bra and shorts at this point.

I change quickly and turn to him. "Don't you need to change?" I ask as I throw a coverup on.

"I just gotta take off my shirt and pants. I always dress prepared." He says with a smile before pulling his shirt over his head, revealing all of his tattoos. I stare for a minute but look away as to not get caught.

After he undresses we head down the the pool. About ten people are hanging around outside, swimming, smoking and drinking. I take off my coverup, setting on a nearby chair, before slowly dipping into the pool. Colson on the other hand, jumps right in, soaking me completely. We laugh it off and he comes over to stand by me.

As we talk and swim around, Darren comes over. "Damn Ly, you hang out with my best friend more than I do. Y'all have to be fuckin'." My brother says with a smile. Colson and I laugh at my brother's comment, not thinking about it too much. When I look over at Colson he looks flustered.

"Darren stop weirding him out. Look now it's awkward. You know he doesn't want to fuck me." I chuckle and Darren laughs quite hard.

"Yea Lyla. He definitely doesn't."

"I know that Darren! So stop being weird."

"Well, I came to tell you that I'm taking Dana up to bed. She drank way too much and is currently talking to the couch." This cracks me up just thinking about Dana talking to the couch.

"Alright night big bro." I say before fist bumping him, Colson doing the same.
Darren heads off back into the house to put his princess to sleep.

"I don't know why he's always like that." I say to Colson as he swims up next to me, leaning beside me on the wall.

"It's all good. You want another drink?" He asks me, I nod, and calls over Rook to brings us some drink, to which he does before heading off towards some girls.

"Thanks Colson. This is really great." I say, gesturing to the party, but what I thought was great was being with him. I slowly sip the drink as I start to feel a little bit more than buzzed. "Rook really knows how to make a drink." Colson chuckles and nods before he finishes off his drink.

"That's why I called him over."

As the night begins to set, people start leaving. Eventually everyone had headed inside or left, so it was just me and Colson. We sat on one of the steps on the pool, gazing off at the sky.

"Don't you think stars are just beautiful?" I ask him as I stare at a gleaming star.

"I do." He says softly, putting one arm around me. "I think you're beautiful too." He says quietly, so quiet that I almost didn't hear him.

"Really?" He eyes looks up to meet mine in the moonlight. "You're drunk. Don't be stupid." My heart drops a bit after noticing he's highly intoxicated, thinking that he wasn't in the right state of mind.

"Lyla. Just because I'm drunk doesn't mean I'm lying." My heart flutters a bit as I gaze into his eyes, not breaking eye contact.

"Well fuck." I say, not realizing how bad it sounded.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Colson moves his arm from around me and scoots farther away.

"No! No. No that's not what I meant. I'm sorry." He stops and looks at me. "It's just that you get me flustered." I blush and look away, noticing him smile and move back over.

"Well, it's true. I think you're very beautiful." I blush harder than ever, my core slightly heating up. "Lyla." I look up at him to see the sweetest look on his face.

His eyes are full and gleaming, the light from the house outlines his facial features perfectly, and he's biting his lip.

Silence falls upon us as we stare into each others eyes. His free hand moves into my thigh as he begins to get closer to me. My heart beats strongly as I begin to move in closer. His hand that was around me and now moved to entwine his fingers in my hair. I take the initiative and pull myself on top of him, straddling his waist. My lips place themselves on his as my arms wrap around his neck, his hands placing themselves on my behind. We get so looped into the moment that we don't realize Darren has made his way outside.

"Hey guys I-, oh okay! Wow! Didn't expect this." Colson and I jump apart quickly at Darren's sudden entrance. "I'll leave you to it. Use protection, I don't want to be an uncle yet." He backs up into the house and shuts the patio door, leaving us to ourselves.

"Now, where were we?" Colson asks as he brings my face back down to his causing me to chuckle lightly. Our lips move together like perfectly fitted pieces.

His hands move over my skin so softly that it sends shivers down my spine. My fingers loop in through his hair, tugging lightly causing small moans to emit from him. Colson grazes his hands up to my lower back, following my curves and tracing every bit of me. My hair stands on end as he slides his hands up under my top, moving from the middle of my back to my sides, barely grazing my breasts before moving back down to my lower back.

Colson moves to pick me up with me still straddling him. He steps out of the pool and moves to the patio door, heading inside and up the steps. His lips make their way to the crook of my neck, leaving little bites along before finding my sweet spot and lightly sucking and kissing it.

Colson plants me against the door to my room, kissing me intensely before opening it and tossing me on the bed.

"You ready?" Colson asks as he closes the door.

"Let's do it."
