My Boyfriend, Me, and His Brother

Chapter 3

I passionately returned his kiss, throwing my arms around his neck. I opened my mouth, letting his tongue slide in. His arms went around my waist, pulling me tightly against him. Every inch of our bodies were touching, but i still didn't feel close enough. All to soon though, Devon pulled away, sighing. I looked at him in confusion, dropping my arms and stepping back. My brain slowly started to turn on again, and realization of what just happened entered my mind, Mrs. Bower entered the kitchen.

My heart sped up to an impossible speed, worried that she might have seen, or she would guess what had just happened. Gosh! We couldn't be so careless next time. Wait, there couldn't be a next time! I had told him it was over, and it was. This was just... a lapse in judgement. I would make sure it didn't happen again.

"Oh hello, you two!" Mrs. Bower said excitedly, making her way over to me before giving me a hug. I hugged her back tightly.

"Hi!" I responded happily. This lady just made everything so happy and bright. When our hug was over, she backed away and put her hands on her hips, with a serious expression. Oh crap. She knew.

"Are you two hiding in the kitchen instead of enjoying the barbecue?" She asked both of us, then turned to Devon. "Devon Bower you cannot avoid your own party."

I laughed. I couldn't help it. Mrs. Bower trying to be serious and intimidating was like a bunny trying to scare something, completely impossible. Devon quickly joined in with my high-pitched laughter, his being deep and sexy. Stop thinking he's sexy! i scolded myself.

"You two think this i'm funny, huh?" She said, still trying to be serious. Devon and I shook our heads, trying not to laugh again. Suddenly, a smile spread across Mrs. Bowers face, and she bagan to laugh. "I really do suck at being serious don't I?"

"Just a lot." I agreed, at the same time Devon said, "Definitely."

We both joined in with her laughter. She just uplifted everything with her smile. I had almost forgotten about my whole in-love-with-both-of-her-sons problem, except for the fact that i was much too aware that Devon was standing extremely close to me now. I could feel the heat coming off of his arm. I wasn't sure when he had moved to my side, but i really wish that he hadn't. At the moment it was taking everything i had not to hold his hand, our wrap my arms around his waist. I wanted his arm around my shoulder, while we casually talked with his mom. I wanted to lay my head against his shoulder. Oh crap, this was bad! I needed to see Cody soon, so i could wash all of these thoughts out of my head.

Almost as soon as that thought popped into my head, non other than Cody walked into the kitchen. Our laughter died down a bit as he walked over to me, my hot dog in his hand. He had an amused look on his face, as he handed me my hot dog and put his arm around my shoulder. I laid my head against his shoulder, glad that i was doing it with my boyfriend. I snuck a peek at Devon, who no longer had any sign of humor on his face. My heart sank when i saw that sad look in his eyes.

"What'd i miss?" Cody asked, tucking my hair behind my ears.

"Just me giving these two a good scolding." Mrs. Bower said, having a mock threatening face while punching her fist to her palm. Cody and I burst out laughing, and Devon gave a small smile. Seriously, this woman could make a dying man smile!

"Okay mom. I'm sure you were." Cody laughed, then turned towards me. "You wanna go hang out in my room? Too many people for me." He asked me. I smiled and nodded.

"Hold up there, Mister! You can't just go hide in your room, that's rude!" Mrs Bowers frowned, putting her hands on her hips. Cody sighed.

"Mom, they won't even notice we're gone. Besides, this is a party for Devon, not me! Enjoy it, man." Cody said, clapping his brother on the shoulder. Devon smiled stiffly, and playfully pushed Cody. I could see how he really felt though. Boy, was he pissed. I couldn't be exactly sure why, but i was sure it was about me and Cody alone in his room, him having to return to the barbecue, or his brother being the boyfriend of the girl he loved. My guess was all of the above. Part of me felt bad, but i really needed to start ignoring Devon and wanting to be with my boyfriend. Maybe if i was just never alone with him, nothing would happen that shouldn't. Hopefully.
