“Asshole, you’re not even listening. I’ll call you tomorrow,” he says before he hangs up. I toss my phone down on the bed and give Ava a stern look.
“You are in SO much trouble.”
I’m woken up Saturday morning by lips rubbing against my face. I smile in my sleep, feeling her kisses peppering my jaw and lips. I open one eye, revealing my favorite girl with a huge smile on her face. I pull her on top of me and press my lips to hers. “Good morning, beautiful.”
“You didn’t wake me up when you got home last night,” she pouts, and I pull gently on her bottom lip. I worked later than usual last night, not arriving home until well after midnight, only to find my girlfriend asleep with her tax law textbook resting on her chest. I would have woken her up had she not pulled an all-nighter the night before cramming for an exam.
“I knew you were tired from the night before; I didn’t want to wake you.”
“Next time, wake me,” she whispers as her lips trail along my jaw to find mine. Her hands move into my hair, and she pulls away to look me in the eye. “You’re going to tell Tucker while he’s here this time?”
I nod. It had been almost a month and a half since Ava and I had gotten serious, and Tucker was still none the wiser. I was beginning to feel guilty for all of the lying I was doing, but I was worried about how he was going to take it with twenty-five years of friendship on the line. Tucker had a temper and was known to overreact, so I could see him telling me he never wanted to talk to me again. I could see him telling me to fuck off. I could see him punching me in the face. At the risk of sounding like a girl, I just wasn’t ready to blow up the closest friendship I had. But I had to tell him.
Tonight.
Tucker was coming into town for the weekend and I wasn’t going to last long without touching or kissing Ava. Let alone three days. I barely lasted twelve hours the last time he was here.
“We should get ready so I can take you back to your apartment.”
“I wish I could stay here with you.” She rolls off of me and lands on her back, staring up at the ceiling. She’s wearing nothing but an old t-shirt of mine and a smile. “Once you tell him, I can’t sleep over?”
“You want your brother to know what we’re doing in here?”
“You can go three days without fucking me?” She shoots me a look, and I think about what going without her touch for seventy-two hours would feel like.
Basically hell.
“Well, let me see how he takes it, and then we can go from there.”
The last time he was in New York, it was just for the night. The train ride from Philadelphia where we’re from to New York is basically an hour, so by the time he got in, he basically wanted to head out for the night. So, we hit the town-- with Ava in tow. Something Tucker was less than pleased about.
Two weeks prior…
“Why is my sister coming? I figured it would just be us?” Tucker asks as he tosses back his third shot since we returned to my penthouse. I broke the news to Tucker in the car ride from the airport that Ava was coming with us, and he’s been complaining about it ever since. “We haven’t hung out in months; this is the first time I’ve made it out here since the summer, and you want to let my little sister tag along?”
“She’s not twelve, Tucker. She can come with us to dinner and the bar; what’s the big deal?”
“The big deal is… I mean-- come on, do you want Elle hanging around when you’re trying to pick up women?” he asks in reference to my little sister.
“I can assure you Ava does not give a shit.”
“It’s my baby sister, man. I just wanted to let loose with my best friend, and I can’t do that with her around.”
“It’ll be fine.”
It was not fine. Tucker barely left my side, making it impossible for me to even look at my girlfriend sideways. Finally, I had to intercept her on the way back from the bathroom just to get a second alone with her.
I push her up against the wall in the hallway and seal my lips over hers, my tongue invading her mouth instantly. “Baby,” I groan into her mouth.
“He’s driving me insane! Get rid of him!” she pants as her leg hikes up and wraps around my waist, pushing her pussy against me.
“He’s only in town until tomorrow; I can’t.” As much as I want to ditch Tucker and go have my wicked way with Ava, I can’t.
“Why the fuck not? Don’t you need me?”
“More than air, but not now.”
She lets out a humph and stomps away, and I chuckle at my girl’s fierce attitude. An attitude which she had with her brother for practically the rest of the night. At one point she mentioned she was calling an Uber to go home, and I had to reel in the protective boyfriend stance, which was as hard as I’d imagined.
