Enough Secrets (gxg)

17 : Love

Blake's POV

If you were to have told me months before I moved to Richview that I would be in the Vanderbilt-Kane house learning self-defense moves from Drew Kane, I would have said that you are absolutely insane.

And I would have been proven wrong.

"Okay from here if you hit my wrist downward with your arms really hard it will make me lose my grip on you. And also remember that you don't always have to punch. You can kick, knee, or use your elbow to hit me in the face" I nod in understanding.

I use my arms to hit down on Drew's wrist like she told me to and I was able to get out of her grip.

"That was perfect" she smiles. "I think that will be all for today. You did great Blake"

"Thank you Mrs. Kane" I smile happily.

"Any time Blake. And Drew is fine" we both head to grab our things. "Are you staying for dinner?" she asks me.

"Um, I would love to. But I'm all sweaty"

"I'm sure Brooks can lend you some clothes if you would like to stay, but it is no worries, you decide" she replies before walking upstairs.

I follow behind and go to find Brooks.

I jump at the feel of arms wrapping around my waist from behind, "Hi baby"

"Brooks!" I whisper yell and nudge her with my elbow.

"What?" she laughs.

"You scared me. Did your parents not teach you to not sneak up on people?"

"Nope. My ma taught me how to sneak up on people actually" she smiles.

I have not yet asked why her family knows all these things or why she has so much training but I am curious. I know that Drew has a security company but I didn't know that she makes her children train as well. I wonder if it is a safety thing since what happened to Blair when she was a teenager.

"But I'm sorry baby, can you forgive me?" she pulls me back to her.

"Hmmm, maybe, if you do something for me" I reply.

"Anything"

I turn around to face her. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and bring her down a bit due to our height difference. "Well...it involves me...in your shower" my lips move to her cheek, "and your clothes..." I kiss below her ear.

"Mhm" she lets out.

"On me because I didn't bring any and your ma invited me to stay for dinner" I pull away from her. The look of disbelief and disappointment on her face makes me laugh a bit.

"That was not funny" Brooks says.

"It was a little funny" I shrug my shoulders.

"You're lucky you are you. Come on" she pulls me towards the stairs.

"Your house is crazy nice" I tell Brooks while I see more of it when we walk up to her room.

"Thank you. My moms remodeled it from head to toe before me and my siblings were born. They are very proud of it"

"They should be, it is so beautiful" I tell her. We arrive to Brooks room. I knew that she was rich and that my family is wealthy too but woah do we seem broke compared to the Vanderbilt-Kanes.

Brooks stands by while I look around her room. It is both elegant but very her. The walls are painted a nice navy blue. Her room is very clean and organized. When I come to the part of her room with all her photos a smile grows on my face.
