Mia:If I say yes, would you hate me?
Brandon:No. I actually like you more now. I’m impressed.
Mia:You’re not mad that I used the invitations you gave me to do this?
Brandon:Not really. I figured you were up to no good when you asked for them.
Mia:What if you get in trouble with your brother?
Brandon:I know how to deal with him. Don’t worry.
So it was a win on all accounts. I get to keep my fresh, new, and completely unsure friendship with Bran, and I also got revenge for what his psycho brother did to mine.
Still, I’ve been unconsciously watching my surroundings the past couple of days, expecting Landon to jump me from behind.
Or worse—drag me into some dark corner, where I would definitely be defenseless.
“Okay.” Nikolai rises to his full height.
“Okay?” I repeat in sign language, not sure if I heard him correctly.
“Yeah, okay. You and Maya can have it your way.” He tilts his head to the side. “In exchange, I’m adding two more bodyguards, and everyone on your bodyguard team will be following your every move.”
I jump up and sign furiously, “You can’t do that.”
“You’ll see proof of me doing exactly that first thing in the morning.”
Oh crap.
If my brother says it’s happening, it’s definitely happening.
“Wait,” I sign and release a sigh. “Okay, we lied. I actually met with a new friend of mine I don’t think you’d approve of, which is why we didn’t tell you.”
“Name. Address. School.”
“Brandon King. He lives in the Elites’ mansion, and he goes to REU.”
My brother pauses and his brows nearly reach his hairline. “Since when are you friends with someone from REU?”
“It just happened. You know, that time his brother, Landon, was bothering Kill and being rude, Brandon apologized on his behalf. Afterward, we played a game together and became friends.”
“Killian never told me this.”
“Not sure why.” Because Bran actually asked him to, I think. And since Killian was trying to get on Bran’s good side so that he could date his sister, he kept quiet about the whole incident.
“So you’re telling me you and Lotus…” he trails off and clears his throat. “AndBrandonare friends.”
“Yeah. We meet for gaming and stuff. We keep kicking each other’s butts. You should see it.”
“Maybe I should,” he murmurs under his breath.
“Does that mean you’re okay with it?”
His bemused state completely disappears, and he narrows his eyes. “Absolutely not. You’re not to get involved with anyone in the Elites.”
“But he’s really different, Niko. He’s so nice and such a gentleman.”
“Oh?”
