Blake takes hold of my shoulders.
"I know you. You won't tell them everything, and Ted will look like an angel."
"If you come, it might complicate things." I give a huff. I don't need my parents thinking that I was seeing him on the side.
"We will explain to them that we didn't meet until after you cancelled the wedding. It will be fine."
I rest my forehead against his chest. I know I won't win this.
"Whose wedding? What are you guys talking about?"
I jump. I forgot about the brothers. I turn around. Noah is standing closer to us. He doesn't look happy.
Fudge!
"Lily left her ex at the altar when she found out he had been cheating on her. I met her that night. End of story."
Blake tightens his arms around me as his brother keeps scowling at us.
"My ex is harassing me, so I'm staying here at Blake's place," I supply the explanation for me being here.
Now both of the brothers are staring at me, open-mouthed. Yes, this is my life. I don't know where it took a turn to Crazy Town. A week ago, I led the most boring life. Now it's turned upside down. I'm living with a guy who I only met a couple of days ago. I should be freaking out, but I'm not. It feels right to be with Blake.
Blake pulls away from me. "Guys, it's late. Lily and I are going to have a busy day tomorrow. We need to get some sleep."
He makes both of them leave, saying he'll talk to them tomorrow.
"Do they barge in like that often?" I ask.
I'm glad we weren't doing anything out here in the open when they showed up. It's bad enough they caught me dressed the way I was.
Blake says nothing. I don't know if he heard me.
"They don't respect anyone's privacy. They are getting better, though, now that Noah is married. We can't go up to his floor without texting first. I will have a talk with them about doing that with us, too. So, no surprises."
He pulls me closer, and we head back to the bedroom. I’m exhausted. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. I guess it's time to pull the Band-Aid off.
