All grown up

Boxers

"Can you please not?!" I say. We are still at the Shepherd's mansion. My mom randomly decided that tomorrow is saturday anyway, so we can have a little sleepover. Yay. Way to go mom.
"Oh that's pretty." Oh yeah, and Nika is disturbing my privacy by looking through my purse. I hate when people do that.

"Nika. Stop. Looking. Through. My. Stuff. That's. Rude." I say through gritted teeth and attempt to take my tampongs out of her little hands.
"But I'm bored. Let's play something, then." God. Please help me.
"No. I just want to rest. I'm tired, can you please go and annoy your brother?" I watch her face fall.
"What's wrong with you? What have I done to you?" I open my mouth to answer, but I couldn't think of a reason.

"I'm sorry Nika. I'm just tired and I haven't seen you in a few years, I barely know you. We can play a game if you want." I say, looking down guiltily.
"Okay. Let's play truth or dare." She smirks.
"Kay I'll start. Truth." I say.
"Hmmmm. Have you ever kissed a guy?" She asks, making me laugh.
"Yeah I did."

"You have to do it." Nika says. We have been playing truth or dare and she dared me to go to Brodie's room and take one of his boxers, don't ask me why.
"Yeah, yeah I'll do it, calm down." I say while standing up. So the boys are downstairs playing some video games. So this should be easy. His room is right across hers, she told me, so the way won't be a problem either. I'm just gonna do it.

I turn the knob and hear the door crack. I close my eyes. I can do this, so I step in. Wow, what a clean room for a boy. My brother should probably go in there for once, to see that guys can also clean up. But then again, they are rich. It wouldn't surprise me if their maid did all of this.

Back to the situation. So all I need to do is find out where his boxers are. I look around and see a dresser.
"Oh thank god." I say, as I find his boxers. I take one and hear footsteps approaching me.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." I panic but manage to quickly run into his bathroom.

"Dude that was dope. We need to do that again." Halen says and I can hear him, sitting down.
"Yup. Maybe tomorrow after my training. I just wanted to go to sleep, I had a little workout session earlier and I'm so done, dude." Brodie answers.

"Sure. I'll just leave you to yourself now. I actually do have an own room and going to look through all the high tech shit in there. Have a nice one." My brother says, standing up.
"You too. Nice having you around again." Brodie says and I can hear the door open and shortly after close again. Nice. Now I have to wait till he falls asleep. But I can hear his footsteps approaching the bathroom.
Fuck. Damn Nika.

I slowly hide behind the shower curtain and hold my breath.
He steps in and brushes his teeth.
"When are you planning to come out. Before or after I'm naked and ready to take a shower?" He says, opening the curtain. I shriek and hit my head.
"Owww." I cry. I feel his hands on my arm.

"Fuck Skylar. Why are you so stupid?" He says and leads me to his bed.
"Well I'm sorry I got scared, asshole." He runs back in his bathroom and comes back with a coolbag. He places it on my head and I take a step back.
"Come here." He growls.
"I can do it myself. Thank you very much." I say, talking it out of his hand.
He sits down on his bed and rolls his eyes.

"What?" I ask him as I see him staring.
"Well, what were you planning to do with my boxers?" He asks, making me roll my eyes.
"I don't know. Showing it your sister probably. Because she dared me to do this." I answer in a duh tone.
"Sure." He lays down, his head resting on his hands.

"Yeah. But you can have it back. I think I failed." I say throwing his boxers in his face. He stands up and pulls his shirt off. My eyes widen.
"What the fuck are you doing." I hiss.
"Close the door when you're out, please." He says, before pulling his pants off. Okay, I'm out of here.
"Damn, that sixpack." I murmur while closing his door. Thankfully he didn't hear me.

"Hello?" I whisper. I was laying in bed and woke up after hearing a shifting noise in my room. I stand up and attempt to turn on the light. But before I could do one step I hear my brother yell:
"NOW!" with that I was covered on flour. I should have known before. I run into the bathroom.
"Dammit Halen, this is so gross. Didn't you guys grow up. I can't believe you're older than me. GOD." I look at my attacker and see my brother and Nika standing there. Well I expected Brodie but okay.

"The tradition needs to be continued" my brother smiles and walks out. I just roll my eyes and take a shower. Where am I supposed to sleep now?
I don't even have something to change so I just wrap a towel around me. I step out and hear the bedroom door open.

"Stop it Halen or I swear I'm going to scream." I whisper - yell and step out.
"Oh it's you." I say after seeing Brodie standing in my doorway. "Wait. What the fuck do you want?"

"Wow. I wasn't the one who fucking pulled that prank out on you so calm down. I just came to your room to tell you to shut the fuck up, I need some sleep." He says, smirking.
"Fuck you. Just show me another room, I can't sleep here." I hiss.
"Okay princess." I glare at him.
"Ew. Don't call me that."
"Whatever, come with me." He says, turning around. Wow I just realised that he has no shirt on. Damn his back is defined.

He leads me to another room, similar to my recent one just a bit smaller.
"Thanks Finn." I say, turning my back to him. And soon I'm turned back and crash against his chest.
"I said stop calling me that." He tightens his grip on my arm, jaw clenched.

"Okay. Brodie you're hurting me. I just wanted to get under your skin, chill." He's so close. I can hear him breathing. His eyes travel from my eyes to my lips and he releases me. I step back and sit down on my bed.
"Good night." He says firm, before I could even answer and slams the door shut.
What the fuck just happened?
