Brother's Keeper✔️

42. Genius Moves

Brian POV

On one hand, he was ready to go back to school. On the other hand, he was not ready to have J'Nae with him.

There was nothing he could do at this point to change things around. She applied, got in with scholarship assistance, and was assigned a room in a residence hall. She was more anxious about this big change in her life, she talked about it every single day.

He sweated bullets.

All it took was one girl to say one thing.

Should he confess that he played around a few times with a few girls? If he confessed before they outed him, maybe it would not sting as hard. She already knew he had the blowjob the one time, he could admit it happened a few other times but it meant nothing.

She would be upset. She would cry which would hurt him. She would probably want to break up with him but he would beg, plead, cry, buy her anything, or do whatever he needed to do to make her see that they belonged together.

Why had he become his father?

His parents would still be together if it was not for him. He and his brother may have been closer than the fucked up relationship they had now. If his father had not been a constant cheater maybe he would not be a constant cheater.

No, he had to stop blaming someone else for his actions.

"I love J'Nae and that was all to it," he said to himself as he drove to J'Nae's place the day they were heading back to school. He had to continue to tell himself that was the reason for everything.

The immediate bond he felt when he first met J'Nae. Their first kiss, the first time he told her he loved her. Nothing had changed since then.

"Hey, honey!" J'Nae walked out of the house before he made it to the door.

"You sure you want to make this long drive by yourself? You can load up my car and we can drive together."

"Oh, we're loading up your car and my car, and I am driving my car." She grabbed him in a hug. "I'm so happy! I can't believe this is happening. My parents want to come and visit me next weekend, check on me or whatever, but I know this is the best decision ever. I cannot wait to decorate my room, and walk around campus and make new friends and-"

"Just slow down a bit." He took her hand. "It's just like college here in Maryville. You go to class, you study, you take your test and that's it."

"Except I will have the whole college experience. Come on, let's start loading up."

J'Nae was bringing a lot of things. His mini-van was loaded to the brim, plus her little hatchback. Then he was going to drive and she would follow behind him. It was a good thing the roads were all clear after the snow they had. J'Nae was a good driver he was not worried about that, and she made the drive before, so he knew she could do it.

Still, his nerves were on edge. He was not even a praying man, though he believed in God, he just wanted everything to work out.

Maybe it would. Those girls would not run their mouths. They would not talk to J'Nae. They could be together on campus, stay in love, and have a great experience on campus together.

Yeah, that's what he would believe in.

When they finally made it to her residence hall, and he helped her move her stuff in, he stuck around and helped her get everything situated. She had a single room, and a good thing because it was small as hell, with shared shower and bath facilities. Even when he was a freshman in his first residence hall, he stayed in a suite with nice-sized rooms and a bathroom he only shared with his other three suitemates.

At least he did not have to worry about someone being in the room when he wanted alone time.

"I cannot believe I am here!" J'Nae sang out then jumped on her bed like a little kid. He did not think the little cheap dorm beds were a good idea for that.

He laughed at her and pulled her off the bed. "Stop. We can celebrate and go do something fun. You've been to the campus, you know your way around so I won't give you a tour. But after we finish your room, we can head to my place and do something. Uber East for fave pizza."

"No, not today Brian. I want to get situated in my room and enjoy being here and on campus. Away from my parents."

J'Nae went to a box to open it.

He was scared for nothing. After he helped her go through her things and put as much as tehy could away, he kissed her and left her on her own.

This would be a good thing. Nothing bad would happen.

"Heeey Brian, what are you doing on my floor?" 

He turned at hearing a female voice as he left J'Nae's room. Dear God, he was in trouble right now.

"Lissa!" The girl he was caught with giving him head while he talked to J'Nae on the phone. He had not spoken to her since that night, even though they had a class together. He never studied with her again, and he for sure was not going to fuck with her, even if all he had done with her was get head.

"Hey, baby!" She walked up to him and tried to hug him but he moved away from her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just said, this is my floor. I live here. Right here." Lissa pointed to the door next to J'Nae's and he tensed up.

This was not happening! Why did he not know that Lissa lived in this residence hall? That's right, he did not care about the girl, he never had a conversation to know her. He could give a damn about her. But now, he had to fix this.

"So did you just meet the new floormate and already smash? Damn, and you won't give me the time of day." She moved back close to him but he did not back away. "I want some of whatever you just did with her."

He was not about to play this game. He took her arm and pulled her down the hall and down the stairs, far from J'Nae in case she walked out of the room.

"Lissa look, we're cool. It was cool that you hooked me up a time or two, but J'Nae is not any other girl. She's my girlfriend, she just transferred in. And she...doesn't know about all the...things I've been doing. So I'm just asking, don't tell her anything."

Lissa crossed her arms across her chest. "Oh, the girl that caught us on the phone?"

"Yes."

"And she forgave you over that and still trusts you?"

"Yes."

Lissa smiled. "Then she trusts you long as I don't tell, and I won't say a thing-"

"Great!"

"Long as I get some more of you."

She had to be out of her mind. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"No. And fucking is just what I am interested in." She started to walk away and up the stairs. "Now, my room, or yours."

How did he get himself into this mess? Instead of forcing her to keep her big mouth shut, he did just what she wanted. Fucked her. In the back of his minivan.

It was not the smartest thing to do, but she said she would keep quiet long as he gave her dick every now and then.

A/N: This is not going to end well. I started this character based on a real character and situation...but far as I know, the girlfriend never found out what was going on. They are still married twenty-plus years later...but this is my story, I do what I want to do. 😈
