"De w-what you doin here?" The shock in Rell's voice couldn't be masked if he tried. It was part of the reason that dumb question fell from the grasps of his lips. He knew exactly why his brother was here.. part of the why was on his back. Shit, he thought releasing his hold of Eden's legs allowing her small frame to slide down his back to the floor.
"Who's this baby?" She whispered eyeing the man at the still open door who stared her down unabashedly behind his shades. She planted herself behind Rell as she was half dressed in a sports bra and cheer shorts.
"Baby." Dreux mocked, his vision hadn't left the girl since he came through the door of their old family home. Head to toe he pierced her, he knew she existed but to have her in his face was something different. A bevy of emotions filtered his form ranging from amazement to amusement. Her resemblance to Juls had him feeling ghost beats of his undead heart and yearning. "Damn you ain't tell ya girl you had a brotha?" He smirked removing his glasses, finally glancing at his flappable brother.
"Your brother?" Eden gasped looking over Dariel's shoulder to gain her beau's eye contact. "You never told me you had a brother boo bear! Hi I'm Ed—"
Rell quickly turned to her careful not to expose any part of her to his brother. The sudden movement cutting off the rest of her sentence. With a slight dip to his knees he stared deeply into her muddled emerald orbs. "It's gettin late and you have to get to school early for practice. Tell me you gotta get home and call me when you get there."
With a blank stare she echoed his words. "Oh no, it's getting late.. I gotta get home."
"It's cool baby ima see you tomorrow." He simpered placing his lips on hers as Dreux rolled his eyes perched against the door jamb. "Close them beautiful eyes for me baby." Rell caressed her cheek as she obeyed his command. With her eyes officially shut he raced them upstairs to get her dressed then outside to her car in forty seconds flat. "Drive safe."
