Page 68 of The Right Kind of Wrong

“I would like that,” she said ashamed. I frowned, shaking my head.

“Don't lose that smile.” She tilted her head again in question, and I chuckled. Evelyn didn't even know what she did to me. “When you go down there don't lose this smile.”

After a few minutes of saying goodbye, I walked out of her bedroom into mine, careful that no one would see. I changed quickly into sweatpants and a muscle shirt, not bothering with much.

As I rushed downstairs I heard the voices of Evie's parents and Hannah, serious and monotone as always. They all pressed their lips together when they saw me, stopping whatever conversation was going on between them.

“Do you know where Evelyn is?” Hannah asked, clearing her throat.

“Her bedroom, probably,” I said, pouring myself a glass of water.

“She's been sleeping in late.”

“I agree,” I replied.

“Do you know why?”

“You're her sister, shouldn't you know?” I asked, raising an eyebrow and earning a glare from her mother.

I shrugged it away, wondering how the hell I had been so stupid to get involved with Hannah. If anything, I was thankful that we didn't bring children into that mess of a family.

“Good morning, family dearest.” Everyone turned in the direction of the cheerful voice. Evelyn had put her hair up in a very messy bun, one that didn't work with her insane curls because they were still all over the place. She wasn't wearing a drop of makeup and her mom clearly wasn't fond of the clothes she wore.

“You're finally up,” Elizabeth muttered. “We have been waiting for you, Evelyn. There are things we need to discuss and you—”

“I was getting my beauty sleep, mother,” Evie interrupted with a smirk. “You're the one that wants to care for appearances. Well, I need my sleep to look halfway decent.”

I grinned, unable to hide my amusement.

“Good morning, Nathan,” Evie said, taking the glass of water from my hands and taking a sip.

“Good morning, Evie,” I replied. “You look wonderful.”

“Why, thank you.” She fucking curtsied.

Hannah cleared her throat with an annoyed look. “I doubt you were sleeping last night, Evelyn.”

Her eyes widened. “Why do you say that, Han?”

Her sister stood up, arms crossed over her chest as she approached Evie. She looked like a snake about to strike. “I was just telling mom and dad about the noises leaving your room last night.” Evie raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Who did you have over?”

I was about to step in, change the subject, anything to take the attention off of her. But a devious smile formed on her lips as she took another sip of water.

“I was watching porn.”

I snorted at her nonchalant reply before bursting out into laughter. Her parents looked like they were about to faint, losing all color from their faces while Hannah had turned the color of a tomato.

“I know your sex life is pretty inactive right now, sis. If you want, I'll hand you the video,” Evie said with a shrug.

“What the hell are you laughing at?” Hannah hissed my way.

“Woman's got a point,” I smirked. “Sex is a great de-stressor.” Evie smiled, eyes sparkling with mischief at the thought of what we'd done last night. My brave, brave woman was being stronger than ever; facing her family with the spark of humor that only she held.

“Where the hell did you get that porn video?” Elizabeth asked, fuming.

“Mom, there is porn all over the internet,” Evie said, rolling her eyes. “Though it is hard to find quality porn out there. That one was pretty good, though, right Nate?”

I chuckled, nodding.
