I smirk when she stomps over to the sink and grabs one of the towels and starts wetting it before looking back down at my phone to text my brother.

Me

Hey, something happened with Kam. I’ll be over there shortly. Don’t wait on me if you don’t need to.

Kaleb

I was wondering where you went. Dad’s new girl said Kam was clumsy and probably wouldn’t make it over here but that you were on the way.

Me

WTF. That chicks crazy, bro. She knocked a glass of wine into Kam’s lap.

Kaleb

She’s def the most interesting one dads been with so far.

Me

I wouldn’t know. I avoid them all. You should try it.

Kaleb

where are y’all at?

Me

The bathroom just past where we were sitting.

He doesn’t respond, so I drop my phone onto the couch beside me and watch as Kam slowly unhooks her shoes, and returns to her short height. She pulls her dress up, revealing her tan thigh nearly up to her hip before taking the wet towel and wiping off the sticky substance.

I suck my lip in, the thoughts swarming my head right now are about how she’s looked propped up on that granite counter with her legs spread wide open. As if she can hear my thoughts, she pauses and looks over at me. My elbow is propped on the arm rest, and I drag my thumb over my bottom lip slowly as I watch her reaction.

She sucks a breath in, and I move to stand when the door pushes open and my brother and Ruby walk inside.

“Here,” Ruby crosses the room, bringing a dress to Kam, “you can wear this, it should fit. I’m sorry this happened to you.”

“Ruby, what are you both doing over here? It’s your rehearsal, go!” Kameron takes the dress from her.

“Oh, please. You think they’re going to start without us. Besides, I didn’t like the way Lauren was acting. I knew it was intentional by the way she described the incident,” Ruby tells her.

“Lauren is her name?” my brother asks.

“Yes, she told you that when her skanky little fingers rubbed down your arm.” Ruby side-eyes my brother before looking back at Kameron. “Get changed, and then we’ll get the party started tonight.” She winks at Kam, smiles at me, then pulls my brother along behind her back out the door.

I sit on the couch, elbows resting on my knees as I try to decipher what just happened. Ruby has always been that type of person, it’s why I love her for my brother so much, they just fit well together, and she’s a good human.

Kameron’s shoulders are a little more relaxed now. I know she would have gone out in her dress like nothing happened, she would have chalked up the stain on her dress to a mishap from Lauren, and moved on. That’s the type of person she is.

She holds the cream colored dress against her body and looks in the mirror. I stand, moving in behind her so I can see. We’re not touching, just staring at one another in the mirror but the moment is intimate.

“You’re beautiful in anything you wear,” I tell her, without saying anything else, my fingers move to the back of her dress and slowly slide the zipper down, revealing her bare back.

No bra.

Shit, this was a bad idea. Bad, bad, bad.

I’m frozen in place. I didn’t mean to make this sexual, but shit… like I said, bad idea.
