I’d gotten so drunk at the Christmas party last year that he’d had to carry me out to his car and take me home. I’d learned my lesson on getting wasted that night when he explained how he’d found me passed out on a bed with some sleazy asshole trying to get my shirt off.
I didn’t get drunk at these things anymore, and if I did, I made sure Kaye knew about it so he could keep me safe.
Unlike Alec, who threw me in the pool in high school to sober me up and I’d almost drowned.
Alec was eyeing us in the rearview, but I ignored him and texted Maisie to let her know we were almost at her house. She had a huge crush on my brother, so I wasn’t surprised to find her waiting in the driveway, toying with her long, dirty blonde hair when we arrived.
Her skirt was tiny and her shirt barely covered her tits, giving us a blinding smile as I opened the car door and Alec turned the music down.
“Hey, guys,” she purred, resting an arm on Warren’s open window and batting her amber eyes at him. His gaze dropped to her tits for a second and I rolled my eyes.
Men were perverts.
“Hey. How are you?” he asked, a cocky smile on his face.
I pulled my bags from the trunk while they flirted, and Kaye got out to help me, his fingers going around my wrist to stop me from walking away.
“Don’t wander off into the woods tonight. It’s hard for me to find you if you need help. There’s a lot of people going that we don’t know, so?—”
“I’ll be careful,” I promised, holding up one of the bags. “My shoes tonight aren’t exactly made for walking in the woods anyway. I’ll stay in the house.”
“Good. No wandering off with strangers.”
“Yes, Dad,” I scoffed, and he raised an eyebrow.
“Don’t be a brat.”
I stuck my tongue out at him and he chuckled, making sure all my bags were out of the way of the car before saying goodbye and climbing back into the back seat.
Maisie was still flirting up a storm with Warren, Alec joining in with whatever they were laughing at, and irritation hit me.
Alec didn’t deserve to laugh with Maisie. He was a prick.
As if sensing my thoughts, Maisie turned to look at me, finding me glaring at them.
“I guess I’d better go. I’ll see you tonight,” she said as she brushed Warren’s arm with her manicured nails and stepped back from the car, giving Alec a little wave.
He flashed her a smile before putting the car in reverse, and Kaye gave me a wave as they vanished down the street.
“Sorry, babe, but your brother’ssohot,” Maisie groaned, giving me a pleading look. “Let me fuck him once.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Why? I’d let you fuck my brother if I had one,” she grumbled, following me into her house so I could dump my bags.
“Spoken like someone who doesn’t have a brother,” I snorted, eyeing all my stuff as I dropped the bags on the floor. “Fuck literally anyone else.”
“Alec? He’s cute.”
“Okay, anyone else apart from those two.”
“Kaye isn’t the type. Pretty sure he’s a virgin. I bet he’d fuck so sweetly,” she giggled, knowing I’d had a crush on him forever.
“Who cares? If he’s a virgin, then he probably won’t fuck you at the Halloween party,” I pointed out, opening a bag and pulling out my outfit.
We had a few hours to get ready, so we put some music on, grabbed a beer each, and started doing our makeup.
