Being the Baby Brother (ON HOLD)

Chapter 22

(Carson ⬆️)

Noah's POV

We are back in school after the break, and it is so boring. We have big tests coming up before Christmas break, so all we are doing is review.

Right now I am sitting in science class listening to Mr. Brooks go on and on about how hard the test is. Also, Sean isn't here today so I have no one to talk to.

Sean is one of my best friends. Easton introduced him to me on my first day. He's really nice, and super funny. I'm also friends with David and Jacob. We are all on the same soccer team.

"Okay, so have a nice day!" Mr. Brooks says, which means the bell is about to ring.

I stand up and put my backpack over my shoulder. The bell rings and I head downstairs and outside, waiting for one of my brothers. Baylor comes outside first, but he's not alone. There is a girl, a very pretty girl.

"Text me?" Baylor says. The girl smiles and nods before walking away.

"Is that your girlfriend?" I ask before he can even say hello.

"Who has a girlfriend?" Jackson says, coming up behind us.

"Baylor!" I yell and dart towards the truck.

"Shut up!" He says, making a few people stare.

I run and get into the backseat of Jackson's truck and grab his lacrosse stick sitting on the ground.

"Don't hurt me!" I yell when the door opens up.

"Wel- where did you get a lacrosse stick?" Baylor asks before he can yell at me.

"It's mine, I had to get new strings" Jackson said, turning on the car.

"Just to be clear. She is not my girlfriend..." Baylor says, breaking silence.

"Do you want her to be?" I ask. He doesn't answer but his cheeks get flushed.

"Ask her out" Jackson instructs.

"It's not that easy" Baylor sighs.

"What? Come one! You've done it before!" I say.

"I really like her. It's different. All the girls I dated in Maryland weren't serious, but I want this to be." He says, still embarrassed.

"Okay, well, invite her over for dinner tomorrow. You want her to meet us before you ask her out right?"

Baylor nods and takes out his phone.

Baylor's POV

I pulled out my phone and texted her.

Me- Hey, so I was wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow night, you can meet my brothers.

She quickly started typing and then stopped. My heart fell and I shut off my phone, setting it on my lap. I felt it vibrate and I quickly checked and she had texted back.

Carson 🙈- sure! I finally get a chance to meet them. What time?

Me- 6?

Carson 🙈- perfect, see you then.

"She's coming over to dinner at 6 tomorrow." I say, smiling.

"It's like I'm your parent and you have to bring her home to make sure she's good." Jackson laughs.

"Noah, you can't be annoying. Okay?" I say, turning to face my brother.

"I'm never annoying. I don't know why y'all say that!" He says with a cheeky smile.
