"We had sex."

"Who?"

"Me and Adrian."

Erica's eyes shot open from what I just said. "I'm sorry what?" she questioned so I said it again.

"Me and Adrian had sex."

She rolled her eyes and stood up from her spot on her bed, beginning to pace in front of me while she ran her hands through her hair. She was mumbling something under her breath, but I didn't feel like asking her what she was saying. I waited for her to stop so I could say more but she still had more to say.

"You and my brother?" she snapped once our eyes locked. "Had sex?"

"Yes," I replied, keeping it short.

"You went all the way?"

I nodded.

"And he let you?"

I nodded again. "Erica-"

"Was he drunk?"

"He said he wasn't."

"You shouldn't have done that," she said in a stern tone.

"I know."

"He's going to get attached to you," she stated like I didn't already know that.

"I know, Erica."

"Were you drunk?"

"No, I wasn't."

She scoffed, "Yeah right."

"You don't have to believe me but I know I wasn't."

"Yeah, that doesn't sound like you."

She made her way back to her spot on her bed. "Have you talked to Adrian since the event?"

"No," I said. "I don't want him to think that what happened that night meant something to me."

"If you don't talk to him he's going to assume it meant something to you."

"It was just another hookup."

"That's not what Adrian's going to think."

She was right. I knew that and Erica knew that but Adrian didn't.

"Justin, I told you that he's been through this before. Not going all the way but getting to that point." She let out a groan and I knew she was annoyed when she added, "I told that fucker to move on but encouraging you to have sex with him wasn't what I meant."

"Does it seem like he's moved on?" I decided to ask.

"Well yeah because he thinks you like him as much as he probably likes you."

Fuck.

"I'll talk to him and-"

"No," I said quickly, cutting her off. "I'll talk to him."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. It's better if he hears it from me."

As I stood up from my spot on her bed I made my way downstairs. I didn't see Adrian sitting in the living room anymore, so I assumed he probably left somewhere. Look, I said I was going to talk to him, but I didn't say it was going to be today. I checked the time on my phone and decided to head back home, since my parents would be out of their meeting by now. I made my way out the front door and unlocked my car but before I could open the door...

"Justin!" I heard Adrian call my name.

Double fuck. Time to face the noise.

I turned around, watching him make his way down the driveway trying to hide the smile on his face but was failing miserably. I leaned against the driver's side door waiting for him to be face to face with me and once he was, he left some distance between us.
