Once we pulled onto my street, a hard sigh left me. It was a Saturday night, not even ten yet, and I was going home to spend the rest of the evening doing nothing. All thanks to my cousins who were probably instructed by my father to watch over me. They were allowed to have fun but not me. Why? Because I was a female. It wasn’t fair.
“Alright, Bee.” Sammy turned to me. “Be a good girl and don’t make us come get you again.”
“How did you even know I was there?” I waited. When neither of them answered, I laughed. “You followed me. Didn’t you?”
Cyrus scratched his jaw. “I guess you’ll never know. Now will you?”
I swallowed a curse and left the SUV. I loved them. I really did. But Cyrus and Sammy needed to mind their own business and leave me alone. Let me live a little. Let me enjoy life. I needed to talk to my mom. I made a mental note to invite her out to lunch when she got home from her weekend away with Dad.
When I entered the house, my phone dinged, indicating an incoming text.
Sammy: We’re just looking out for you.
Me: I’m a big girl, Sammy. I know how to take care of myself but thank you so much for your concern.
I shoved my phone in my back pocket, ignoring the next text that came through. I would get over this, I knew I would, but that still didn’t mean that I couldn’t grumble about it for at least a little bit.
My phone suddenly started ringing, making me jump.
“Geeze, Bee. Get a hold of yourself.” I pulled the phone from my pocket, when I saw one of my best friends calling me. “Hey, girl.”
“Bitch, where did you go? I saw those hot as fuck cousins of yours storm in and the next thing we knew, you were gone,” Heather Olle yelled into the phone.
I winced, pulling the phone from my ear. “Do you have to yell?”
“Sorry.” She cleared her throat. “Where did you go?” she asked at a more reasonable volume.
“The twins took me out of there and now I’m stuck at home.” I could have stayed at the club, but I wouldn’t put it past one of them to throw me over their shoulder and carry me out of there kicking and screaming. I didn’t need that sort of publicity, knowing it would only get back to my father.
“Oh, well in that case. Are they still there?” Whatever Heather was hinting at, only made me laugh and roll my eyes. She had a thing for the twins for as long as I could remember. It didn’t help that they weren’t interested. At all. But because of that, it only made her want them more. They brushed it off as a silly crush, but I knew her. It went far past just a crush.
“No, they aren’t. My parents aren’t here either.” I sighed, kicking off my shoes and walking further into the house.
“So, you’re on lockdown for the night?” she asked, knowing I hated when she used that term. Her and our other friend, Lori Alexander, would tease me whenever I wasn’t allowed out of the house. They referred to it aslockdown mode.
“Looks like it.” I was sounding ungrateful for all the protection I had but growing up where it was constantly looming over my head, it got old and quickly.
“Well if you need Lori and I to stop by, let me know. And if the twins happen to be there, I wouldn’t complain at all.”
I could almost hear her waggling her eyebrows.
“You know that’ll never happen.” I laughed.
“Oh it will. Sammy likes easy women.” She sighed. “I can be easy for him.”
“You’re such a slut.” A bubble of laughter left me.
“Whatever. He’s hot.”
I made a face. “Sure. I guess. If you go for that grumpy brooding shit.”
“He’s not grumpy or brooding. That’s Cyrus.”
“Oh.” I clutched my chest. “I’m sorry. I guess I don’t know my cousins after all.”
She laughed. “I wonder if they’re into threesomes.”
“Oh God.” I gagged. “Stop.”
