Hey You

26

I woke up to Roxanne knocking on my door, “Stacey wake your ass up! It’s NOON!!”

I sat up, suddenly remembering I was naked only when the blankets fell down and exposed my chest. I grabbed the robe and unlocked my door, walking into my closet.

“Did you shower again?!?” She asked.

“Nope.” Smiling to myself remembering the events that unfolded last night on the phone. Feeling lucky that I was in the closet so she couldn't see me blush.

“Um, okay.” She sounded confused.

I got dressed in my closet and walked out to her; “I, um, talked to Steven last night after my shower.”

I started to brush my hair when I noticed her face in the mirror. Her eyes were wide and her mouth hung open. "Oh, one of those kind of calls huh?"

I bite my lower lip, embarrassed, she could read me like a book. We shared everything together, never kept secrets from one another...but I felt too embarrassed to tell her about this.

“Didn't you call Craig last night?” I asked, still looking at her in the mirror.

“Yup.” She said as a blush crossed her face.

“One of those calls huh,'' I said with a laugh.

We headed down the stairs to the kitchen. It was too late for breakfast, so we made a quick lunch before starting to tag team the cleaning. My parents were coming home today, and I really didn't want to listen to my mother b***h that the house was dirty. I hadn’t been home since Friday either mind you, so it was a mess she left Friday morning.

We managed to get everything done and my last load of laundry out of the dryer before they pulled into the driveway.

“Hello honey” My mother said, she always acted like this with other people around. “How was your weekend? The house looks great!”

“It was good” I said to her, she didn’t need to know anything else.

My father came into the house carrying a large cooler “Can you two help unload the truck?”

Without saying a word, Roxanne and I walked out to the truck. I noticed a red truck heading down the street, it can’t be I thought to myself as I took hold of another large cooler.

Roxanne looked in the same direction “Holy s**t, he was serious.”

“Who was serious?!?”

“Craig, he called me earlier. Said him and Steven would be done with work early this afternoon and asked to come over to see us.”

“And you didn’t think to tell me?!”

The truck pulled over, Steven in the passenger seat, smiling at me. I smiled back as my dad came walking out the door “Today girls.”

I turned away and lifted up the heavy cooler, and started to walk to the front door. Steven hopped out of the truck and ran up to me, taking the cooler out of my hands “Let me take that.” He said, while giving me a quick kiss at the same time.

Roxanne and Craig followed us in with the rest of the stuff, a huge smile splashed on both of their faces.

“I’m going to kick your ass” I said to her under my breath.

Entering the kitchen Steven put the cooler down and emptied the contents into the fridge, “Thanks, you didn’t have to help.”

“I wanted to.” He replied to me.

“You two are pretty fast!” My dad yelled as he walked down the hall towards the kitchen. Breaking my and Steven’s eye contact as he rounded the corner, stopping in his tracks.

“Or you had help from two strangers.” He stated as my mother walked into the kitchen as well.

“Um” I cleared my throat, shutting the fridge doors. “This is Steven and his brother Craig” I said pointing to each of them. 

“Craig, is Roxanne’s boyfriend.” I paused , swallowing “and Steven is mine.” 

My father stood there looking shocked before he shook his head and held his hand out for each of the boys to introduce himself.

“Randy, thank you for your help with the stuff.” He said clearing his throat.

My mother introduced herself as well, “Pamala.” 

“Are you okay with the four of us hanging out in my room?” I cautiously asked her.

“Yes, that’s fine.” she replied.

“Door to stay open!” My father quickly added.

”Boyfriend? I didn’t know she was seeing someone” I heard my father say to my mother as we walked upstairs towards my bedroom.

I headed to my room, grabbing my laundry basket, with the three of them following me. Both boys stopping every so often to look at the pictures hanging in the hallway.

“Sorry I didn’t call you” Steven said as soon as we walked into my bedroom, while I put the basket on the bed and started to put the clothes away. Luckily, my room was included in the clean up earlier that morning.

“It’s okay, I was surprised that’s all” I smiled up at him.

My room was big enough to contain not only my bed, but also a couch and an overstuffed chair; which faced a TV.

Moving from my door to stand next to me, he made the distance seem like a step away. Wrapping his arms around me from behind, he rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed my neck. Making me stop folding the laundry for a brief moment. I giggled “Steven, let me finish this then I’ll sit with you on the chair.”

He let go of me and smiled “Okay. But first…” he leaned down and kissed my lips holding my face gently in his hands.

The fire ignited within me the moment his lips touched mine, he felt it too and kissed me deeply. He only stopped when his brother made a coughing sound. He pulled away and went and sat down in the overstuffed chair.

Roxanne had put the TV on, and sat next to Craig on the couch. 

I quickly finished putting away my laundry and sat down with Steven. Half on the chair half on him. He kissed my left shoulder and wrapped his right arm around my waist. “I like sitting like this.” he said in my ear.

Being this close to him was bad, especially with other people in the room and my parents in the same house. My mind kept replaying last night over in my head, making me want him. I positioned myself so that my legs went across his lap. 

Roxanne and Craig flipped through channels searching for something good to watch. But, it didn’t matter what was on the TV. I was too focused on the man beside me. We sat there, whispering to each other.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about you last night” he started.

“Ha, I passed right out…only to dream of you” replying I bit my lip.

“You kill me when you do that. I think you know it too.” He covered my lips with his and bit my lower lip before pulling away. I smiled up at him.

“So, how was work?” I asked him. I wasn’t going to be able to control myself if we continued down the s****l road.

“Long, hard” he smirked at me, his tone of voice not hiding his desire. “Rough, and really muddy” he chuckled.

“You are awful!” I said while smacking his chest.

He tickled my side, and I squealed, jumping a little twisting away from him.

“You two are unbearable.” Roxanne said to us.

“Oh what’s wrong? You want to be tickled too?” Craig said to her jokingly, while he reached to her side and did the same.

A knock came from my door and everyone froze. We all sat up straighter as I said “Yeah?”.

My father opened the door wider to see into the entire room. “I know it’s early, but we caught a lot of fish this weekend. Would you boys like to stay for dinner?”

I looked to Craig then to Steven, they nodded to each other. “Yes, please that’d be great” Steven answered.

He started to get up from the chair, leaving me to sit alone. “Would you like any help sir?”

My eyes bulged out to Roxanne at his question.

“I’m just starting to get everything put away, how about you come down in 20 minutes?” My dad replied.

“Okay, great!” Steven said before returning to the chair.

My father closed my door and walked back down the stairs and I giggled.

“I think you just made my father’s day.” I said to Steven as he knelt down in front of me. His hands traveled up my legs to my thighs sending a chill through my body.
