Shouldn't Want You (A Brothers Best Friend Romance) Alayna & Gunner #1

Gunner

I get into the elevator and push ground level.i think of Last night. Last night with Alayna was unexpected. When I saw her leave with Wes, I was jealous as fuck. I wanted to break something. I told the girl that I was dancing with that I was going up to my room to go to sleep. She asked if she could come with me and take care of me for the night. I, as politely as I could, told her no then walked away. When I got off the elevator on my floor I hear voices and a familiar laugh. My head snaps up to see Alayna and Wes entering her room and shutting the door.

I start to panic a little. Should I go knock on the door? Should I try to break it down? I can't just sit in my room and go to sleep knowing what Alayna is doing in her room tonight. I don't have a plan when I walk in the direction of her room. I walk back forth in front of her door a few times and then I think, I don't want to hear any noises coming from her room, that would absolutely crush me. I stand there, leaning  on the wall across the hall from her. I don't know what I'm standing here for, I don't really know what I'm waiting on and I decide to give up. Just as I'm about to walk away I hear a faint sound of a male yelling. He's angry. Is it coming from her room. I can't tell. I'm on high alert and I'm trying to listen to see if hear the yelling again and what direction it's coming from. Just then her door opens. There's no point in trying to hide or run to my room, there's no time. Wes stands at the door and he doesn't seem surprised to see me. He looks back in the room and says " yeah, there's nothing going on between the two of you, is there?" And he walks away but not before he glares at me and shakes his head. The door is still open and Alayna appears in the door frame. Her hair is a mess and she's flushed.

The elevator opens and my flashback ends and I walk to the dining room where Travis is sitting and waiting on me. "Sorry I'm late. I overslept." I say as I sit down.

He smirks at me and lifts his eye brow. "Long night?" He asks and I hope he doesn't see the guilt on my face as I huff out a laugh " You could say that." I say. " What about you? Where did you run off to? Last time I saw you, you were getting drug off by Taylor."  I ask him to get the topic off of me.

He clears his throat, seemingly uncomfortable, which is odd for Travis. He sleeps with a different woman every other night. Why is he acting weird about making out with Taylor.

"Well, uh. One thing led to another and we ended up getting pretty hot and heavy in the hall. She's something else, that's for sure." He says as he grins a little and I notice that his face is turning red. Interesting.

"So you and Taylor were making out and other stuff and then what?" I ask him even though I already know that Alayna found them.

He let out a laugh " Well, Alayna kinda sorta caught us. She actually took it alot better than I thought she was going to take it. She said it was gross but she didn't seem mad about it. Then she went with Wes and I went with Taylor."

"Oh yeah? So did you fuck her or did y'all leave it all in the hall?" I ask.

"Nah man, the moment was ruined when Alayna caught us. Though, I think she would have been ok with it honestly as long as she didn't have to hear about it."

I look at my best friend and know that this is my chance to bring up me and Alayna. Obviously not gonna bring up last night, I'm not looking to get punched but I just need to tell him that I have feelings for her. Get it out of the way.

"Look, uh there's something I wanna talk you about." I say and he looks up at me.

"Is it about that chick last night? Dude she was all over you, I think she would have let you fuck her in front of everyone. Wouldn't be the first time for you though." He laughs as he shovels food into his mouth. I forget how much he knows about my sexual experiences, things he has seen me do. Hell, he was in the same room for some of them. I wince at the thought.

"No, actually it's about.." I start but get interrupted.

"Well, look who it is. Hey boys" I hear Taylor say and she and Alayna walk up to us. Looks like they are checking out, bags in their hand. Alayna goes to hug Travis and then she comes and sits on my side of the table. She's freshly showered and I can smell her coconut scent. Just a few minutes ago, I was inside of her. My dick twitches as it remembers too. I stop myself from groaning out loud.

Taylor goes to sit by Travis. He throws his arm around the back of her chair. He winks at her and gives his signature smile.

Alayna makes a dramatic gagging sound, like she is going to throw up. "Gross Travis. You guys can't flirt in front of me, what y'all do in private is nothing I want to hear about but I can get past it if I don't have to witness it or hear about it again." The whole time Taylor has been looking between Alayna and me. Like she's looking for something. When I look up at her she smirks and raises her eye brow. Then she moves her eyes to Alayna and back to me fast. She tilts her head in question. I give her a smile. As we are having our silent conversation across the table. It looks like Travis and Alayna are having a silent conversation of their own.

Travis looks at her, like really looks at his sister." Yeah, well, I don't want to know about your extra curricular activities either, so I guess we can call a truce." He holds out his hand they shake hands and laugh. "Deal" she says.

Travis looks around "Speaking of, where is Wes?" He looks at Alayna in question.

"Shit, Alayna we have to go. We are going to be late" Taylor says as she stands up and grabs her bag. Alayna looks at her confused for a split second before she realized that Taylor is saving her from having to answer any questions about Wes.

" Ok, well I guess I'll see y'all later." Alayna says and he leans over and hugs me goodbye. She whispers in my ear "Talk to him". I nod and hug her back. She walks over to her brother and he hugs her a little longer  "Are you ok?" He asks, thinking he isn't loud enough for us to hear him but we do. He's asking if she's ok because he knows she had sex for the first time last night. Only he just thinks it was Wes, not his best friend. I'm thinking I'm a terrible friend when Alayna answers him " I'm ok, Trav. Everything was perfect." She says as she is looking at me. She gives me a sweet smile and then she kisses her brothers cheek and picks up her bag. She turns around and waves one last time before her and Taylor walk out the door.

Travis turns around and clears his throat. "Well that was awkward. I didn't expect to see either of them this morning. I can't believe Alayna was ok with what happened with me and Taylor. If the situation was reversed and it was her with you, there's now way I'd be able to accept it like she did. Just thinking about you with my sister makes me want to punch you, but I know you would never try to get with her." He laughs because he thinks the whole idea is absurd. My heart starts to race. What am I supposed to do now.

"So, anyway, what did you have to talk to me about?" He asks giving me his full attention. Shit. I make a quick decision that's going to change everything and I already regret it but I do it anyway. "Oh, umm, I wanted to tell you that I'm not gonna stick around here for the summer, I'm gonna go get into our apartment and get things set up before school starts back up, maybe get a summer job." I say as my throat feels like it's closing up.

He looks at me in surprise. "What the hell man? You are supposed to be my wingman this summer. What made you decide this? We had the whole summer planned out." I shrug my shoulders and say " There's nothing here for me anymore."

He just nods and says "Alright man, do what you gotta do, but I'm gonna come up there and your still gonna be my wingman." He laughs

I fake a laugh " Deal, just do me a favor? Don't tell anyone im leaving until I'm up there already."

" You got it, man. Alayna is gonna be pissed you didn't tell her goodbye in person. You better watch your back when she gets up there in the fall." He laughs and I feel like I'm going to throw up.
