Following close behind Clyde your steps were long trying to keep up with his stride. His hand held yours snug. Coming through the doorway to the back room that led out to the backyard you see Mellie chatting it up very closely with a particular Bang brother, Joe.

Clyde stops in his tracks and clears his throat getting his little sister's attention. She rolls her eyes at her brother then notices you. Her expression completely shifts from annoyance to delight. A light shriek came from her lips as she shimmied over towards you, arms stretched out to embrace you. Clyde dropped your hand so you could greet Mellie. Instantly you missed his touch. Your eyes glanced at him and he grinned.

"Wanna beer Darlin'?"

Nodding you add, "yes, please." He smiled and went to grab you both one. You looked up and readied for Mellie.

"Oh my god why didn't you tell me yesterday you were coming?" She wrapped her arms around you tight swaying as she hugged you.

You laughed and returned her friendliness, "because your brother just invited me this morning."

Arms still wrapped around you she narrowed her eyes looking at you curiously, asking softly but her pitch went high with excitement, "this morning?"

You felt your face warm up a little and you couldn't hide the amused slightly self-conscious grin answering, "uhm yes."

She raises her eyebrows and gives her perfectly lovable Mellie smile, "no wonder it took him forever to bring my car back."

You tried to hide your pure amusement at the idea of Mellie waiting for her car this morning while Clyde fucked you in the shower. "I told him you'd rip him a new one if he didn't get it back to you."

She gave you a little mischievous look then glanced at her brother making his way back over towards you with two beers in hand. Giving you a wink she said, "we'll finish this little chat later."

Rolling your eyes playfully you say, "if you say so."

The two of you laugh as she steps away. Clyde hands you a beer and asks, "what is she up to?"

You accepted, breath giddy, "oh nothing."

He grinned at you unconvinced, but satisfied by the way you looked at him. It was the way your eyes completely focused on him. He could see the worry from earlier start to drain from them and fill with wholesomeness.

Another voice called out to you making their way to welcome you. "Hello there sweetheart." He stepped next to you giving an affable peck on the cheek.

"Hello Joe, how are you?" You gave a genuinely friendly expression as you felt Clyde's stance shift next to you. A metal hand touching your lower back.

Clyde didn't like Joe being too friendly with you. He didn't particularly like it with Mellie, but she clearly was into it so he couldn't really do anything about it. In reality Joe was completely harmless. However, something sprouted in his chest. He really didn't like it when it was with you, no matter how harmless he knew he was.

"Oh I'm great sweetheart. I'm glad Clyde here finally took the chance to bring you around, we know how to have a good time." Joe spoke with his hands waving his beer around.
