"What the fuck!?" I shouted pushing the extremely suggestive guy off of me. "come on baby. you know you like the idea." The tall light-skin guy slurred his words. He was highly attractive but he smelled badly of beer. "Back the fuck up!" I kicked him in his square and kneed him in the nose. He fell to the ground. "Bro what the fuck?" Lip ran up to us. "I heard some teen was beating the hell out of a guy and well, as far as I know you're the only teen at this party." I nodded. "Yeah well, he was being too handsy and drunk." I sighed. "I think i'm just going to go home." I sighed and walked towards the door. "Don't you ever touch her again fucker!" Lip kicked the guy and followed me. "You didn't have to do that. I already got that covered." I walked faster, getting out the door and to the sidewalk.

"Well, i'm sorry. I understand if you don't want to be saved." He said sarcastically. I just kept on walking. All the way to my house. "Hey how'd the party go?" I was greeted by Kev. I sighed and walked up to my room.

I felt bad for ignoring him but it hadn't been the best day. To make it worse I got a text from carl.
Carl-
Had fun! We r like official now right?
Me-
Not at all. Actually, I'd prefer if we just didn't see each other.

Carl-

Well you live next door and are friends with my family. Plus you know you like me.

I decided to turn my phone off and go to bed. I wasn't mad at Carl. I didn't even know how I felt about him. What I did know, is that I did what I've always done and hated. Had sex with someone who I barely even know and wasn't dating. I think i'm going to become a hermit. I think V and Kev would like that. Free babysitter. I turned over in my bed at that thought and slept my problems away.

"Delilah!" Kev was shouting from down the stairs. It's what woke me up this morning. "What!" I shouted from the room door. "Can you watch the kids today? We have to go meet with a lawyer." I looked at the clock. Eight in the morning. "Yeah! can I get a shower in first?" He told me that would be fine and I went to do my normal routine.

"So you can have people over but while you are watching the girls, make sure they are asleep before you do anything inappropriate. Okay?" I nodded at my uncle with an uncomfortable smile. The two babies were already sleeping and in their cribs ten minutes after they left. So, I took the opportunity to watch some television. I was watching this show called 'Poverty' and it is about a family with drug addicted parents and the sister raises the kids. They are from the south side of new York and the family goes through a lot of poverty issues. It was really relatable. Then, the door opened. My heart stopped in fright for a moment until I saw his face. "Lip. What is it?" I turned the TV volume down for a moment. "I came over to see if you needed help. Fiona said you could bring the kids over." I shook my head. "I'm fine." He sat down on the couch next to me. "You sure?" I rolled my eyes at his dumbfoundedness. "Yes. if you forget I raised my brothers and they are asleep. I think I got this." I turned the tv up louder. Hoping to drown out his chances of speaking. "Listen." He took the remote and shut my television off. I took a deep breath in and then out in annoyance. "Last night I didn't mean to seem like I had to protect you. It's just everyone was older and you're a girl and-" I cut his ramble off. "Don't. Those are not excuses. I handled myself." He nodded.
"You slept with my brother?" He asked bluntly. MY eyes widened in shock. I didn't think Carl would have told anyone. "What do you mean?" Then I realized the words that REALLY came out of his mouth. "I mean what I said? You slept well last night?" I sighed with relief. "Yes. I did. I- uh... look I forgive you okay? I think I just need some time alone today. The move was crazy and I need the alone time." He nodded in response. "No problem. But you wont be alone. The babies are here." He smirked then hugged me. "bye del." as he left, a knock on the back door came. I walked over to it and Carl was standing in the doorway. Smirking, "I heard you were babysitting. Thought we could hang out. With the kiddo's." I raised my eyebrows and let him in, Contrary to what I said last night. "Kiddo's?" I mocked the too happy guy. "Yeah. I don't know either." He chuckled. He looked into the living room and saw the sleeping babies. His smirk grew. "What does your room look like?" I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Feels like that's all I've been doing lately. Rolling my eyes. " Wouldn't you like to know. It looks like a room." I went to check on the babies. still sound asleep. On my way back to escort Carl out of the door, I was pinned up against the wall, arms to my side. Carl was looking deeply into my eyes, biting his lip. "No." The words came out but there was an emptiness to them. Maybe I wanted this. Somehow I found myself nodding. "Which is it?" He kissed my cheek slowly. Seducing. "Yes." What the hell?
He took my arms and wrapped them around his neck. He reached down and put his hands on my thighs. Picking me up. He leaned in and kissed me as we made our way to the spiral stairs. "I'm assuming their old storage room is your bedroom?" He carried me up those stairs with no struggle. To him it was like I was a feather.
He dropped me down on my bed, then fell over me.
