“Nope. But let’s get back to what you were saying before. What do you mean by now that you're single, you're going to have fun?”
She shrugs, ducking her head under the water to rinse her mouth. She spits and then answers me. “I’ve only ever dated one guy. I want to see what else is out there. Go on some dates, meet some nice guys.” She pauses as our eyes lock in the mirror. With each passing second, I can feel the rage boiling inside me.
She’s not allowed to date, to be with other guys. She’s fucking mine!
Only, she’s not.
“Who knows? Maybe I’ll find Mr. Right. Someone who will love me. Someone who will make me their person. Someone who will treat me right. You know?”
I want to scream, Me! I’m that guy. But I don’t.
“Come on.” I clear my throat. “Let’s get you to bed.”
She nods and starts toward the door, stumbling and swaying as she goes. I let out a heavy sigh, the sight is just sad. “Let me,” I grumble, and she squeaks as I scoop her up.
“You need to stop doing that,” she scolds.
“Never.” I grin down at her. She blinks up at me with a look in her eyes I can’t quite figure out, but then she’s biting her lip and looking away.
“Brothers don’t carry sisters like this, Toby,” she mutters, and the grin slips from my face.
I’ve been reminded all my life that Lilly is my stepsister, but never from her.
We stop at her dorm room door, and I let her down. She’s about to go inside when she hears horrible sounds of puking from behind the door.
“Oh, god,” she groans. “I love Bee, but if I have to listen to her getting sick, I’ll be joining her.”
“Come sleep in my room.”
“What?” She looks up at me. “No.”
“You can take Bishop’s bed. I’ll make him sleep in yours. That way he can deal with pukey in there,” I chuckle.
There it is, that smile I’ve been dying to see. “Okay. You think he’s going to be okay with that?”
“Since when hasn’t Bishop stayed with Bee when she was sick?”
“Good point.” She nods. “But I need a change of clothes.”
My eyes flick down, remembering that she’s only in jeans and a bra. Fuck. I clear my throat and go across the hall. Grabbing my key, I open my door and nod my head toward the door. “Just wait in here. I’ll go grab you some things, okay?”
“Okay,” she whispers.
She slips inside the room, and I knock on her door. Bishop answers a second later. “Where’s Lilly?”
“She’s gonna be sleeping in your bed tonight. She can’t listen to–” Bianca pukes again, and I wrinkle my nose. “That. So you're sleeping in her bed.”
I don’t like the idea of him sleeping in her bed or her sleeping in his. But a part of me needs to be near Lilly.
“Fine,” he sighs.
“I just need to grab a few things.” I slip in past him, eyes going to Bee. Poor girl looks like hell. “You okay, Bee?”
“Get fucked,” she groans. “No more tequila.”
“Yeah. Fair enough.” I chuckle.
“How's Lilly? Where is she?”
