We had stayed at the café for a while longer, since Gin had ordered in food for us so that we could all have dinner together. And then I had to remind Grimmjow that I hadn't had a chance to do my homework yet so I needed to go home. He had huffed, but luckily didn't protest. Yumichika and Ikkaku were going to walk to my house, so I had said my goodbyes to everyone else and gotten into Grimmjow's car. Gin had given both Renji and me some envelopes before we had left, saying that they were our compensation for such a "great show" and that we could expect more for the next time we played. I felt awkward accepting the money, but... if we were really doing this, then I supposed I would have to get used to it. Renji and the others were involved, after all... and they deserved to get paid for their talent.

"You're such a nerdy little girl..." Grimmjow mumbled humoredly as he started up the car and began driving.

I pouted at him, trying not to smile. "I'm sorry that I'm still in school and have homework, Grimmjow..."

He chuckled, placing his hand on my thigh and giving it a tight squeeze. "When I was in school I didn't give a fuck about homework."

I lifted a pink brow, giving him a skeptical look. "And yet somehow you graduated and moved on to own a chain of night clubs..." I was making small talk, but the ball was rolling in my head. "Did you go to college?"

"Who the fuck needs college?" He grunted, shifting my skirt up so that his hand was on my bare thigh.

I blinked... how had he gone straight from high school to owning his own night clubs? And apparently he hadn't even been a very good student... I had wondered before how someone so young was so successful... it seemed like he and every one of his friends were just natural entrepreneurs... but how had they been able to get their start? I knew from my uncle that starting a business was not easy... you needed loans or investors... did Grimmjow and his friends have someone helping them? I felt that it was inappropriate to ask... and really, I shouldn't care anyway. It wasn't any of my business.

"So your brothers are staying the night with you?" He asked, his fingers tightening around the top of my knee.

I shuddered, feeling a warm tingle run through me at his touch. "Y-Yes..."

"I trust you, babe..." He murmured before turning to give me a pointed look as we stopped at the stop-sign before turning onto our street. "But I'm still uncomfortable with a couple of guys staying at your house... even if they do call themselves your brothers."

"You know them, Grimmjow." Oh, shit... if he was still uncomfortable with Ikkaku and Yumichika... what was he going to say about Renji and Shuuhei? "They call themselves my brothers because they think that I need someone to look out for me... not because they want to date me." I scrunched my nose at the thought. "That would be weird."

He nodded, looking back at the road as he turned onto our street. "They don't flirt with you or anything... at least not that I've noticed. So I guess it's alright." He squeezed my leg again, sending more of those warm tingles running through me. "Just make sure that you answer me when I text or call you... and no being alone with either of them. Got it?"

I nodded, figuring that it was easier just to agree. I could keep my phone on me and answer him easily enough... and it was usually all three of us together, anyway. "Okay, Grimmjow."

"Good girl." He mumbled as he pulled into the driveway.

He put the car into park and then leaned in to kiss me. I compliantly returned his kiss, reaching up to run my fingers through his wild, blue hair. He let out a happy groan, grinning into the kiss as he pulled me into his lap so that I was straddling him. I let out a contented sigh, shivering in delight when I felt his hands working their way over my body... he had one tangled in the soft, pink hair at the nape of my neck... and the other hand was slipping underneath my shirt and moving up my spine, pressing my body closer to his... My skin was flushed and heated from the nervous and excited way that he was making me feel. I eagerly swirled my tongue with his, moaning when I felt his teeth against my lips. I was completely caught up in him... my hands lost in his wild mane as he pulled me flush against him... breathless as I lost myself in his kiss...
