Kaylee and Hunter: An Office Romance

Chapter 15: Payton

SHIT! What just happened? I was having the hottest dream, but maybe it wasn't really a dream. This morning I had woken up to see Elyse wrapped up in my arms but I hadn't thought that it was real. I thought that it was just another dream because Elyse has always featured there. I can't believe that I almost had sex with Elyse in my sister's bed! I'm a horrible brother. God what is wrong with me? Elyse thinks of me as a protective big brother and I mauled her while I was half-asleep... I am dragged out of my musings when Kaylee flung the door open.

Kaylee stormed up to me and smacked me upside the head. I knew I deserved more than that. "What the hell did you say to Elyse!?!? Did you bring up Jax again? Payton!" she whined, but all I could think about was Elyse and now, Elyse with Jackson. Man that hurt. I can't believe that Jax would do that! I start to get up so I can go give him a piece of my mind, but Kaylee shoves me back down.

"What do you want Kaylee?"

"I want you to tell me why my best friend rushed out of my house on the verge of tears you asshole! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!?!" Kaylee demands. I run my hands through my already rumpled hair.

"I may have- I might have - Um..." I stumble not sure how to broach this subject with my baby sister. "I may have tried to umm-" I coughed. "Uh... sleep with-" I'm cut off by Kaylee's scream and prepare to get my balls handed to me but instead she tackles me with a hug squealing some more.

"OMG! YES! I mean I knew this was going to happen, but GAHHH! I'm so excited! Jax will be the best man and I'll be the maid of honor of course but-" now it's my turn to shut her up.

"Kay," she continues squealing and hugging me. "KAYLEE MAE!" I yell finally silencing her with her with her full name. I sigh and continue, "Ely and I are not together. We will never be together. Somehow we made it into your bed last night as when I woke up this morning I got a little turned on before I realized it was her and kind of mauled her. I can't believe that I did that to her. I mean she's like a sister to me. I don't think of her-"

"Shut the hell up Payton! You don't think of her that way my ass. You've had an eye on her since we were sixteen so what the hell Pay?" Kaylee admonishes me. How the hell did she know I liked Ely for so long? She shouldn't know. If she does, El must know and then they'd just be laughing about it together. Shit! I didn't think that anyone, much less my sister, would figure out how I feel about Ely. Shit. "What really happened this morning? I'm going to get Elyse's side later so you might as well tell me yours now."

"Nothing happened and nothing will. I messed up and kissed her neck and stuff but I stopped as soon as I realized it was Ely. I mean I can't be with El, she's just a kid." The only place that I can be with her is in my dreams. Ely is too young for me. Too perfect. My kid sister's best friend is a no fly zone.

"Nothing my ass Payton. I'll figure this out with El and when I do, you better watch out. Really at this point, I don't think you are worth Elyse's trouble." Kaylee leaves me with that. What does she mean that I'm not worth her trouble. I'm like a brother to Elyse. What could I do that would trouble her other than trying to have sex with her while I'm still half-asleep. Elyse will only be mine in my dreams, and even then, she is fleeting.
