My Brother's Best Friend

Lovely

The week was followed by Grayson and I getting zero time together as Parker was glued to our sides likely because the void of seeing Mikaela was too much for him. She was grounded for another 4 days and Parker couldn't be more bored. I sat on the couch beside him while we caught up on our show and the front door opened. Ollie and Liam both stood at the door with their shirts already off and they were jogging in place 

"What the hell are you two doing?" Grayson laughed at them

"We gotta get in shape man were going for a run who's joining?" Liam asked whilst now doing burpees in the entrance

"You know people can see you right?" I asked laughing

"Who's coming?"  Liam asked again shooting me a glare. They already knew my answer and I would just be keeping them back so I just sat in silence looking at Parker and switched to Grayson. They both sighed and got up. Yes, I get the apartment to myself for once I silently partied in my head as I watched Parker go to his room and change into his shorts. Ollie and Liam finally decided to stop standing in the doorway like idiots and walked in sitting beside me on the couch. 

"You know something about sitting beside two shirtless dudes makes me only slightly uncomfortable" I joked

"You love it" Ollie smiled back I hadn't thought about the fact that Ollie liked me at one point and he currently was single but he must hate me regardless now since the whole him being drunk incident. 

"You wish" I retorted with wide eyes and he nudged me with his shoulder. Grayson came over shortly after and wedged himself between me and Ollie his hand rested beside me on the couch and he gently touched my leg as a reminder of his presence without being too indiscreet. 

"Ready to go?" Grayson asked as Parker stepped out of his room, Parker nodded and the four of them said their goodbyes before leaving me in the comfort of the couch. Grayson and I have had literally no time to talk to each other or be able to show any signs of affection since the laundry room and I was getting antsy it was hell. I decided to spend the hour I had alone doing something for myself. I walked to my room and shut the door the plan was I would do my hair and makeup just to feel like a woman again and have it all gone when they got back I wouldn't hear the end of it from Parker if I showed any sign of effort in my appearance. I plugged in my straightener and while I waited for it to heat up I grabbed my eye shadow palette and grabbed a dark shade of red patting it and blending it all over my eyelid. I darkened the crease with black and winged my eyeliner. I was quite proud of it actually. I threw on some mascara and combed through my eyebrows. Before adding anything else I completely straightened my hair and added red lipstick to top it all off. I found a dress that dad bought me to wear to one of his business parties but it ended up being canceled so I never got the chance to wear it out. I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror. It's been a while since I felt this way. Felt pretty. I had already spent too much time as almost 45 minutes passed by and I knew I didn't have much longer to admire my craftiness. The thought of anyone seeing me like this was enough for me to want to not waste an opportunity to get it off. That bubble burst the second I heard the front door open. Shit. I hurriedly grabbed a makeup wipe and was ready to scrub my face clean but it was too late. My door opened I heard nobody else there was only one person here. 

"Hey, I told them I was getting tired and couldn't run with them anymore they're going to the gym after t..." Grayson started 

"Wow look at you" he smiled stopping in his tracks

"Shut up, go away," I said hiding my face on the counter. 

"Who's the lucky guy?" he asked walking over
