Payton’s POV:
“Look, we can talk about this!” Brynn shrieked dodging my hands and running into the kitchen.
“Talking is over-rated.” I laughed as I chased her around a chair.
She leapt over a chair, nearly falling as I gained on her. My legs were longer than Brynn’s and she was clearly losing energy. I couldn’t stop laughing as she tripped and fell over the leg of another chair and fell on her back. I took this as my opportune moment, smiled, leaned down and started tickling her.
“Stop, please, don’t tickle me!” She screamed and laughed as I tickled ribs.
“Say that I’m the best fiancée in the whole world and that you love me!” I said tickling her harder.
“No! Stop, I’m going to pee my pants! Please, stop! I’ll do anything!” She shouted, covering herself.
I stopped tickling her and thought about that for a second, “Anything?”
I watched as her eyes got huge and she realized her slip in words. I leaned down and nipped her ear, smiling when I heard her sharp intake of breath and whispered, “Kiss me again.
She looked at me confused and shook her head.
“I’ll tickle you harder if you don’t.” I murmured in a teasing tone.
She glared at me and pressed her lips against mine for a quick kiss. I had other plans, my other hand grabbed the back of her head and she didn’t fight me, letting me know that she had let instinct take over.
I was surprised when I licked her bottom lip for entrance she responded with an opened mouth sigh. Which only made me harder and I pressed against her core while our tongues tangled together in a sensual and intoxicating way. This kiss wasn’t like any other kisses; I was completely lost in her.
I slowly let my hand slip under her shirt and trail up her soft skin. She whimpered and arched against me nearly losing my mind. I trailed kisses down her neck and paused just under her ear and bit down causing her to let off a soft moan and press herself closer to me, I marked her. Sucking on the skin, leaving a hickey to prove that she was mine.
She wiggled under me as I kissed back up her neck to her mouth, “Let’s negotiate.” I murmured.
“About?” She asked in a breathy tone.
“You go with your sister for one day.” I nipped at her ear.
“Two days.” She gasped, arching as close as she could get to me.
“One.”
I pressed my lips against hers in a hard, demanding way. Her fingers wrapped around my neck, “Okay.” She whispered when I finally released her.
I smiled down at her and kissed her again, my hands roaming up her shirt, my fingers touched just under her bra and she didn’t protest. My hand stroked higher and the phone rang causing us both to jump and knock our heads together. Way to ruin a moment.
Brynn’s POV:
“Mother fuck!” Payton groaned holding his head.
When they said people were hard headed, his was like running into a brick wall. “Ouch.”
“I’ll get the phone, and possibly an ice pack for your head.” He said getting up before I could protest the last part.
Holy crap, I cannot believe I made out with him. I don’t even like him. He was rude and arrogant, he hurt my feelings and lied to me, and he’s ruined my relationship with Ronan. Yet, I couldn’t stop the butterflies from fluttering in my stomach as I thought back to those kisses. Would I have stopped him if the phone hadn’t ringed? I hated teenage hormones.
Sure blame teenage hormones.
Great, now I’ve gone mental.
You like him.
Do not.
Then why would you kiss someone you don’t like?
Because, clearly, I’m a glutton for punishment.
Liar, you have feelings for him and you don’t want to confront them.
I love Ronan.
You like Payton.
I hate Payton.
Keep telling yourself that.
I will because it’s true.
He convinced you to see your sister for a day instead of going to the Spa for 3 days.
My senses were weakened by his gross kissing.
That’s bull. You loved every minute of it.
Who cares?!
You.
Yep, definitely mental. I wouldn’t be having a conversation with myself if I wasn’t.
“Hey,” Payton said, causing me to jump. He chuckled, “Didn’t mean to scare you. That was your mother. She said we have this business party tomorrow and she wants you to try on a dress later.”
“Figured. Okay, thank you for letting me know. I have to call Roxie.” I said getting up and walking by him.
He grabbed my arm, “Hey, are you going to avoid me? We kissed, so what?” he said looking down at me.
“I’m going to call my sister now.” I muttered not meeting his eyes and running to my room. I locked the door and fell against it. Why me?
Roxie’s POV (I KNOW!):
The doorbell rang and I couldn’t be bothered to get up an answer it. “Philip! Can you get the door please?”
He didn’t respond and I rolled my eyes. Whoever is at the door can go away because I’m taking a well deserved nap. I closed my eyes and snuggled deeper in my blankets, drifting off I heard the door open.
“Babe, your sister is here.” Philip said a little too loudly.
Now grumpy because I was awaken from my, close yet so far away, nap, yet happy because I missed her only after a day. She walked in looking very upset and frazzled. I sighed and moved over on the bed.
“Philip, this might take a while. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
He leaned down and kissed my forehead softly before leaving. God, I love him.
“What’s wrong bug?”
“It’s been years since you’ve called me that! I hated that nickname.”
I smiled, “Well, you were supposed to. I gave it to you because you were annoying just like a bug and I was gonna smush you every time you annoyed me.”
She laughed, “Why can we be kids again? Those were good times. Ronan and I were still friends, you were living with me, and I wasn’t sold into an arranged marriage, and I definitely wasn’t making out with Payton.”
I laughed, “You made out with Payton? I thought you hated each other!”
“Momentary lack of judgment.” She grumbled
“Spill.”
She gave me the rundown of how he kissed her after wiping pancake batter off her nose, and how he got bent out of shape about her sleeping with Ronan and kissing Landon, which I had no clue about! I was still fuming over the fact that she hadn’t told me about sleeping with Ronan when she groaned.
I looked at her confused and she held up one finger and answered her phone, “What Payton?” She said frowning.
“I told you I was going to see my sister!”
I watched smiling as she argued with him. He must have said something to piss her off because her face turned beet red.
“I am hanging up the phone now. I’ll see you when I feel like it. Maybe I’ll get your car back to you in one piece.” She hung up and threw her phone on the far end of Philip’s room.
“I can see how he pisses you off.” I smiled.
“You don’t even know.” She muttered frowning.
“So back to what you were saying,” I pushed.
“Well, I slapped him in the face. Totally on accident! I swear, and then he chased me around the kitchen and tickled me when I tripped. I stupidly said I’d do anything to get from tickling me and he made me kiss him. I went to give him a quick peck and he attacked my face. If the phone didn’t ring, I don’t know what would have happened.” She said blushing.
“That explains the hickey on your neck.” I laughed.
I laughed even harder as she sprinted off the bed and to the mirror. “That son of a bitch! I can’t believe I didn’t even feel that!”
“He must have been doing something very right.” I laughed.
“Stupid teenage hormones.” Brynn muttered scowling.
“Don’t blame your hormones. I think you’re falling for him.”
“I hate you.”
“Seriously, you get butterflies don’t you? Every time you see him, or he does something really nice, or when he kisses you. You might not believe it but you’re falling and falling hard.”
“I love Ronan.” She whispered.
“You can love more than one person.”
“I don’t know what to do.”
I was shocked, Brynn, my stubborn little sister who did whatever she wanted, had no clue what to do. I’ve never seen her this vulnerable…ever.
“Ronan doesn’t want you. I don’t mean to sound like a total bitch but he doesn’t and frankly, he’s ridiculously stupid for it. Payton, he does. All you have to do is choose who you want to be with. You need to be happy with what you pick and don’t let anyone force you differently.” I said honestly, “That’s why I’m happy where I am at. I decided to keep my child and stay with the love of my life. It’s your choice.”
Before I could even blink Brynn was hugging me. “Thank you so much. I think I’ve figured out what I want to do.”
“You’re welcome, anytime you need something I’m here.”
She kissed my cheek and left, thankfully, closing the door behind her. I snuggled deeper under the blankets and closed my eyes.
“Roxie,” I heard Philip call.
“I hate you so much right now. I just want to sleep! Is that too much to ask?” I demanded.
“I want to talk about names for our son or daughter.” He whispered climbing into bed with me. When he talks about our baby, I can’t stay mad at him for too long.
Brynn’s POV:
Talking to Roxie sure explained a hell of a lot and I was finally going to come to terms with my decision. This was going to be so hard on me.
I pulled up to the apartment complex and hurried inside, knowing that Payton was already mad about his car. I forgot my keys so I knocked twice and waited for Payton to open the door. My heart was pounding and my palms were getting sweaty.
He opened the door a frowned at me, “You better have a good—”
I jumped in his arms and kissed him, nearly making us fall on the floor, Payton staggered and braced us against the wall. I pulled away from him and took four steps back, breathless and blushing I said, “I want to try this whole relationship thing.”
Payton smiled, “Really?”
I shrugged, “Yeah, but one thing first.” I said stepping closer to him.
“Yeah?” He asked, his breathing increased as I got closer.
I stopped and tilted my head up like I was going to kiss him while my arm swung back and I punched him hard in the stomach. Shock made him fall and I laughed.
“What the hell was that for!?” He groaned in pain.
“That’s for the freaking hickey you left on my neck. Asshole.” I turned and went to the room laughing hysterically. This could be better than I thought it would be.
