Although Trent was pretty open with his brothers, he had yet to tell them about his situation with Lauren. It wasn't that he was hiding anything from them, but the precarious connection they had felt a little too sacred to just share.
But with her set to arrive in Liverpool later that afternoon, he figured he had to tell them about her impending arrival.
"I have someone coming over later," Trent revealed, butterflies dancing around his stomach as he spoke, moving around his kitchen as he prepared to leave his mansion for training with his football team.
"Who?" his younger brother Marcel asked, more interested in his bowl of cereal in front of him than whatever his older brother was saying.
"A friend," Trent explained.
"I've known you your entire life, you don't have any friends that you need or care to tell us is coming over later," Trent's older brother Tyler pointed out, connecting the dots that something was afoot.
"Exactly," Marcel agreed. "Who is it?"
Trent hesitated, the weight of his brothers' scrutiny pressing down on him. He could feel the butterflies in his stomach intensifying, a mix of excitement and anxiety swirling within him. "Okay, fine," he relented, leaning against the counter and crossing his arms. "It's Lauren."
"Lauren?" Tyler echoed, raising an eyebrow.
Deciding to throw his brothers a bone, Trent unlocked his phone opening Lauren's Instagram before handing it to his older brother.
"Lauren Richards?!" Tyler asked in shock as he inspected the picture of the soccer star-turned-television presenter.
"No way," Marcel scoffed in disbelief as he took the phone out of his brother's hand to see for himself. "How the fuck did you pull that off?"
"We met at that awards ceremony I went to in London," Trent explained.
"She's the girl you took back to your hotel and hooked up with?" Tyler asked, remembering that Trent had vaguely opened up about meeting a girl in London, but he had no idea it was the stunning television host.
"I'm not sure if what we have is still classified as 'hooking up', but it was her that I met in London."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Marcel frowned curiously.
"I flew her here to me from Paris and I was in London last weekend with her, I took her to a concert," Trent revealed to his brothers, leaving out the intense sex they had afterwards that had his head spinning for days after he left her.
Taking back his phone, Trent went to his camera roll and showed them a picture of Lauren he'd taken at the concert, still not over how sexy she looked.
"Fuck," Marcel said, his eyes widening as he took in the image of Lauren, her hair cascading over her shoulders, a radiant smile lighting up her face. "She's gorgeous! You outdid yourself, bro."
