Thwaites & Thompson

Sleeping Beauty

Thwaites

I couldn't tell how she made him leave her without getting her number but I could tell he was pleased by whatever she told him before she walked away and headed towards me.

I smiled.

"Ready to go?" I ask and she takes a deep breath before she nods at me. Her face was flushed.

She looks around for Brandon and Nala and I wave for Cole to get over here.

He walks to us with Madonna and soon Brandon and Nala join us too.

My eyes immediately wander down Nala's flushed face, to her lips.

Her lipgloss was still intact.
Good... That was a good sign.

"All ready to bounce?" Tess speaks.

Nobody nods.

Madonna chuckles.

"There's dinner later if you guys want to stay." She suggests.

I sigh.

"I'm going home..." I shook my head.
"Cole can you drive Tess back?" I ask and he nods at me. I mentally face palm, instantly remembering that Cole doesn't know Tess has been staying over at our place.

"You didn't ask me if I wanted to go home..." Tess tilts her head my way.

"Do you?" I quirk an eyebrow and her face heats.

"Come on Nala." I call Nala after I turn around.

"What?" She speaks and I stop to turn around.

"Why can't I leave with Tess." She gulps hard.

"You know what?"
"Lets just all leave."
"Some of us have work to do in the morning, come on." Cole ushers Tess and Nala forward towards me and then he turns to Madonna for a moment.

"Beautiful got a ride home?" He asks and she grins adorably.

"I do, and I have to stay here with Annie, but thank you..."
"For offering, and the dance and all..." She grins and he grins back.

"Don't mention it."
"Goodnight..." He winks at her and she chuckles.

"Bye Tess!" She waves at Tess and Tess waves back.

I roll my eyes to myself before I start walking out.

Thompson

I thought that this is calling a night off, peacefully, but then this happens...

"Don't make this harder Brandon!" Cole hisses and Nala and I stop to turn towards him and Brandon.

Adam stops too when all our footsteps die.

"I don't care anymore."
"I already have a broken nose..." Brandon shakes his head and walks towards Nala.

He cups her face and owns her lips between his...
I take a step away from them and lower my gaze.

I purse my lips to hold in my smile but then my face falls when I remember Adam must be seeing this too...
I slowly turn around the same time Adam tears his gaze off of them and the tick in his jaw appears again.

He passes me a glance before he opens the door to his car and gets into the driver's seat.

When I turn to Brandon and Nala again, they were also looking at Adam.

Nala glances at me and I instantly jerk my head, silently asking her to get going.

She nods and literally drags herself away from Brandon.
