My Best Friend's Brother (32 page)

"It's your birthday soon isn't it?" He half asked.

"Yeah, next week." I nod getting up from the ground and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Your still coming to my party aren't you?" I ask him sounding worried thinking he wouldn't come, but I have no idea why.

Nate follows me and sits next to me "What kind of stupid question is that?" He pokes my cheek lightly "Of course I am. There is no way in hell I would miss my beautiful girl’s eighteenth" He grins as if thinking of something he shouldn't.

"Yes?" I ask him getting his attention.

He looks at me and smirks. "I was just thinking you..." he pauses and seems to take forever to continue, "You will be legal soon. Soooo..." he wiggles his eyebrows suggestively and winks at me.

I roll my eyes and punch the top of his arm "Perv"

"Ouch." He laughs rubbing his arm.

"You know for a midget you sure are strong." He stated in a teasing tone.

"I'm not a midget." I whine like a child probably not helping myself much.

"Sure you’re not." Nate laughs.

I shimmy up the bed and turn away from him and pout.

Not really mad but want him to think I am.

"Don't be mad Sweet pea. You know I was only playing. Well somewhat."

My jaw tensed "Somewhat?"

I felt Nate move higher up the bed until he stopped behind my lying down form.

"Hopey." He coos.

I raise my eyes in amusement and a small smile makes its way to my face, but I quickly hide it.

Thankfully he is laid behind me so didn't see my slight slip up.

"Hopey baby." He sounds like he is pouting.

'So cute' I think, listening to how sweet he sounds.

I felt breathing on the back of my neck making me shiver. "Please speak to me." He whispered into my neck and began to nuzzle my neck.

I tried my best not to react but it was really hard when his every touch felt like electric.

His begging lasted for another minute as her begin to place kisses up and down my neck.

"Ah." I groaned in defeat.

In a second I had turned around and was sat on top and straddling a slightly shocked looking Nate, who was laying flat on his back.

"You are such a tease!" I groan giving him a dark look.

"Tease? Me? Why?" He asked, whilst trying to hide his happiness at getting me to speak to him.

I get an idea and began to trail my fingers over his chest slowly taking in the lines of his defined chest and stomach muscles with my fingertips.

I watch his reaction with a smirk on my face as I slowly begin to his shirt up and over his head, which he helped me with by sitting up for a second, but then laying back down again.

"Stop teasing Hope. We both know nothing is going to happen. I want to wait until you are legal and we have been together longer." He tells me as if clocking onto my plan.

"I know. But it doesn't mean I can't massage your muscles." I say, knowing he’s right.

"Sweet Pea, go into the bathroom and change into these shorts and vest and I'll give you a massage." He said getting up and passing me the clothes. "After all you are the one aching my love."

I thought for a second, "Actually I could probably do with a quick shower first." 

Thirty minutes later each of us had a shower and were now lying on the bed and Nate was giving me a massage as we listened to music.

"I've never had a massage before. It feels really good, but I think I'm going to fall asleep."

"Do you want me to stop then?" he asked chuckling slightly.

"No. You can continue." I mumble tiredly.

"Fine. But if you do, I am calling the creep to come and wake you."

I know he was joking, but I couldn't help it.  I sat up knocking him on the way.

Instead of cursing or scolding me though, he just burst out laughing.

"You are too easy. As if I would let that creep anywhere near my Hopey." He said pushing himself off the ground and back on the bed beside me.

"You are mean Nathan." I pout.

"Please don't call me that." He groaned.

"Only if you promise to always tell me if you have any worries." I say seriously. "I don't want what happened the other day to happen again."

"I promise."

Nate

We lay chatting about old times before falling asleep in each other’s arms.

That night I had the best sleep of my life.

"Mwa mwa mwa"

"What the..." I mumbled in a sleepy voice as I am woken up by...

I open my eyes to see Hope grinning at me.

"What were you doing?" I asked raising my eyebrow at her seemly innocent expression.

"Nothing, I was just kissing your face." She said almost nervously.

I couldn't help but "Aww" at her cuteness.

I kissed her back.

The kiss only last about fifteen seconds but it was still perfect.

"At least that explains the funny noises you were making." I say, pulling her closer to me.

She sighs contently as she buries her body in closer to mine.

"So no regrets coming away with me?" I asked her out of the blue.

"Why? Do you?" She sounded worried but didn't pull away from me, I think it was so I couldn't see her expression.

"No. No Sweet pea. Not at all. It was the best trip of my life." I proclaim kissing the top of her top.

"Really?" She asked unsure if it was the truth.

"Yes my love."

"It was my best time too. I loved going on this trip. Can we maybe go on another road trip in the next school and college holidays?" She hugged me tighter.

"Yes. Maybe we could go to the mountains or something?" I suggest. "We could rent a cabin, either go alone or maybe with Dean and Heather?"

Hope smiles and pecks my cheek. "That sounds great. I am sure Dean could do with some treat after everything and I know if his big brother offered to take him fishing or something you two could do alone on the trip, he would love it."

"Yeah. I would invite the other two as well, but I'm not sure." I thought back to when we were children. "Matt and Dean have never been able to stay in a room with each other for too long because they get into petty fights."

"I remember." She paused and sighed. "I think we need to find a thing them two can actually bond and do together some time."

I agreed, but didn't hold out much hope. It would be nice though and I know my parents would love it.

"I love you Hope. You are the most perfect girlfriend ever. I don't want anyone else if I can't have you" hang on a second - that sounds familiar, like I heard it somewhere before.

Was it a song? Who knows... Who cares.

We continue to lie in bed for a while longer, just hugging.

Then after we got washed and dressed, we finally packed up our stuff ready to leave.

Oh and just a little note for those of you who think I am evil for leaving my brother Dean so soon after his operation.

I have been keeping in contact and calling everyday and text messaging.

So I do care, even if he is a pain in the butt sometimes.

Well back to the present.

We took all of our stuff out of the room and packed them into the car before heading to the office to return the key.

Stepping inside the office with my arm around Hope, I was both relieved and annoyed.

Annoyed because the creeper who we met on our first day was here and relieved because his kinder younger brother Pawel was also here.

"Hey guys." Pawel said cheerily.

The other man (the creeper) next to him head shot up and a lecherous smirk appeared on his face.

"Hello." He said. I felt Hope shiver with disgust as the man openly stared at her.

She tried to stay behind me but that didn't stop the man.

Glaring at his brother Pawel noticed this and grinned.

"Wiktor go in the back you are creeping out the poor girl." He orders his brother.

The man tried to say something but was cut off by his brother pushing him through the open door that lend to the back room.

Hope breathe a sigh of relief and step out "Thanks" she said with a thankful smile.

But I couldn't help but laugh "Is he always like that?" I ask.

Pawel continues to with the smile that has never once left his face “Pretty much” He tells us.

But then quickly adds "But you have no need to worry Wiktor is harmless..." he pauses as if thinking.

"...Well he is unless you are a sex doll" Both Hope and me burst out laughing.

I was about to ask him how he knew that, but lucky his brother came out yelling first.

"Pawel, why did you tell them about Matilda?"

Pawel most of seen our expressions because he quickly answered, "Matilda is his doll"

"Pawel." The man whined dragging out his younger brother's name.

But his brother pretended not to hear him and smirked.

"He is just a bit lonely because he has never been with a real living female, because most find him...urm how did your last girl you ask out put it?" He turned for a second and asked his brother who part his head down in shame.

Believe it or not I actually felt kind of sorry for the guy.

Everyone deserves someone, even if like him are a bit off.

"Oh yeah that's right. She said you were a creepy leach, who had about as much sexual appeal as a stampeding rhino." He laughed to himself.

I laugh slightly too, but not surprisingly Hope didn't.

"Aww that's so sad. I'm sure he isn't that bad." We couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.

Wiktor however took this as a sign that he had a chance and quickly went back to his previous way.

"Well Honey, you can always..." he began, again looking at her lustfully.

Pawel cut him off with a smack to the back of his head.

"Ouch." He whined.

"See what she means now?" The younger of the pair asked Hope.

"Yep. I take it back. He isn't poor and he is everything she said.”

We all continued to speak for a while, well except Wiktor, who just stood off to the side watching us all.

Hope was really good and ignored all of the man's attempts at trying to get her attention.
