Brotherly Love

Chapter 8

I laid in Anthony's bed scrolling down my instagram while he went to shower. He walked in with a towel around his waist. He dropped his towel and slid on some Ralph Lauren boxers.

"You watching me?" He asked looking for something in his dresser. He pulled out a phone case and handed it to me. It was MK and had my name in rhinestones and pearls boxing it. I smiled at him as he slid on basketball shorts.

"You like it?" He asked licking his lips.

"I love it babe. Thank you, but I don't want you spending your money on me."

"I can't take money to the grave with me so I spend it. As long as we're together I'll spend my money on you I don't care. I know you don't want me to, but I'm going to do it anyways."

I smiled at him as he stood on the side of the bed. I stood in the bed and walked over to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he scooped me up. He kissed from my forehead to my lips. He pecked my lips over and over again making me giggle.

"Gia. You're beautiful."

I blushed and I never ever blush. He smiled that pretty ass smile and licked his lips.

"You gon let me take you on a real date?" He asked me.

"I might if you asked me on one." I said smiling.

"Gia, will you go on a date with me Friday night?" He asked looking into my eyes.

"No, I promised my brothers I'd watch my nieces this weekend." I said caressing his cheeks. He groaned and flopped on the bed.

"Sunday?" I asked him.

"I gotta work six that night to six that morning. Next Saturday?"

"That's Sariyah's birthday and Sunshine's is a couple of days before, we're taking them to Disney. You should come. Bryson bought out the whole park."

"Ah sila fwa mela shud meh niti diti."

Wtf. I looked at him and he laughed.

"I heard it on the radio. It's a part in a song."

"No I think you're just weird."

"You like it girl, ain't that why you with me?"

"No. Your eyes pulled me in."

He laughed and sat up.

"I know you're looking.....what color are they now?"

"Amber... they just changed when you laughed."

He licked his lips and closed his eyes. I pecked his lips and straddled his lap. He opened his eyes and looked into mine before pecking my lips.

"What about when we had sex? What color were they?"

"Hazel."

"Babe?"

"Huh?"

"Lady in the glass dress, I can see right through you. You act like you don't want this, but you know that you do. Since he broke your heart girl, you said you'd never love again. You won't let it stop girl, but we know in the end...you still dream. Dream. You still dream. Dream. Baby I can make your dreams come true. Oh oh lady in the glass dress. Ooh ooh." He sung. He kissed my cheek. I swear he is just full of surprises. I didn't know he could sing. I smiled him blushing. He cupped my cheek and kissed me passionately.

"You wrote those lyrics?" I asked and he nodded.

"The song's for you. I wrote it the day I said I was done. I can't see you with nobody else but me Gia. If I fuck up tell me. I wanna be your last first everything. I want us to last."

"Gray."

"Huh?"

"Your eyes are gray right now. What does each color mean?"

"You gotta figure that out."

"Or you could tell me."

"How about no? I like that answer."

"But why?"

"You're missing two colors, so when you get em all you'll figure it out."

"How about when I notice the other two colors, you tell me what they mean?"

"Nahh I'll tell you all except one."

"Deal." I said playing with his hands. He smiled and intertwined our fingers.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked rubbing the back of my hand. I shrugged and buried my face in his chest. His phone rung, but he ignored it. It rung again and again until he finally answered.

"Wassup... who is it...send him up... yeah, he's good just crazy as hell." He hung up and looked at me.

"As much as I want to stay like this, I can't . Bryson is on his way up. Get dressed." He said walking to the living room. I would love to see Bryson's reaction if I walked out in one of Anthony's shirts. I searched for a T-shirt to put on. I found a plain white one and sprayed his Cologne on it. I put the shirt on and fluffed my hair before exiting the room.

"... I swear I saw GiGi's car out there. I haven't seen her since earlier."

"She's in--" Anthony stopped speaking when he noticed me. He shook his head at me.

"Giona, what did I tell you man." Anthony said looking at me then Bryson.

"Did y'all have sex?" Bryson asked. I shrugged and flopped on the couch. Anthony grew speechless.

"Ant, did you have sex with my little sister?"

"Yeah. It was consensual." Anthony said looking at me. Bryson closed his eyes then opened em looking at me.

"Giona go put your damn clothes on. Whatever the fuck is going on, it's done."

I walked in the room and Anthony followed behind.

"Why the hell would you do that? Giona he already was skeptical about me pursuing you."

"I didn't expect for him to react like that. I'll talk to him." I said getting dressed. I went to kiss his lips but he turned his head.

"No."

"Giona hurry your hot ass up." Bryson shouted.

"Anthony, it was supposed to be a joke."

"Only if we didn't have sex, but we did and I couldn't lie my way out because I loved every minute of it. It was a joke gone wrong Gia." He said biting his lip. I looked into his eyes that were now asphalt black.

"I apologize."

"You can make it up to me by fixing this."

"Then I will."

He leaned in and rested his forehead on mine. I poked out my bottom lip and he took it in his mouth kissing me.

"I'm five seconds from punching you and putting my foot off in your ass." Bryson said pointing at Anthony then me. He grabbed my wrist and drug me downstairs to my car.

"Go home. We gon talk when I get there." He told me in a stern tone. I rolled my eyes and climbed in my car. I drove home and stormed to my room. I picked up the picture of me, my mom, Bry, and Gio that rested on my nightstand. I miss her so much.
