Forbidden

Chapter 2

Devon's POV-

 I was in the kitchen reaching up in the cupboard for the popcorn while Sidney was setting up our movies.  We ended up settling for The Hangover and its sequel.  I didn't know, for the life of me, why people kept their snacks up so damn high.  Hell, I'm 5'5” for crying out loud and I still needed a boost to get up there!  As I propped myself on the tips of my toes and stretch out as much as I could, I suddenly feel a warm and hard chest against my back and see and arm reach over me to grab my intended target.

“Here you go.”  It was Shane.  I turned and felt myself blush.

“Thanks.”  I tell him.  He shrugged his shoulders like it wasn't anything and walked over to the fridge to get himself a drink.  “Are you sure you don't want to join us?”  I asked him.

“Nah.  Maybe later.  Besides, I don't think Sid would be very happy with me infringing in her girls night.”  He winks at me and then turns to head back upstairs.  I couldn't help but watch him walk away.  Two years at college had changed him since I had last seen him.  Shane was built nicely.  I had always thought so but you can tell he definitely works out now since his shoulders, arms and chest were so much more defined under that form fitting white t-shirt of his.  I couldn't figure out why I couldn’t shake the butterflies that hit me every time our skin touched; sure, it'd only been twice now, since his return, but my nerve endings felt like they were gaining sensitivity with every moment of contact.  It would be just too weird… He is hot though.  And I smiled to myself.

 

I walked to the living-room and plopped myself down on the couch and shoved a handful of popcorn in my toothy grin as Sidney came and joined me.

“What?”  She asked me.

“Oh nothing.”  I tell her as I shove another handful in my mouth.  The movie started...

 

 

Sidney's POV-

 We were half-way through our first movie when Shane decided he'd crash our movie night.  He let himself drop between D and I.  I scuffed at him and he only looked at me with a grin.

“What?”  He asked me.  All I could do was shake my head at him.  “You're ridiculous!”  I whispered at him.  He let out a small laugh as he wrapped his arms around the backrest of the couch on either side of him.

The movie ended and I got up to pop the sequel in when I turned and noticed my brother looking at Devon as she walked to the kitchen to get us all a drink.

“Seriously?”  I semi whispered to him so Devon couldn't hear us.  “Don't you have a girlfriend or something?  Stay away from her.”

“Oh sis, don't worry about it.”  He tells me.  “She's practically my sister.”

“Keep thinking that way buster.”  I tell him as I come back to the couch and slap his thigh.

“Ouch!”  He yelps and laughs.

“Quit it you two!”  Devon says, smiling at Shane shyly as she comes back with our drinks.  Did I miss something here?  I decided to shrug it off.  There's no way Devon would go for Shane.  She's always told me that he was like a big brother to her and that the idea of them ever getting together was sort of gross.  The again, that was over two years ago...
