Brothers for the Summer [Discontinued]

Chapter 12- The Kiss Mark

Isabella

Garrett came bursting through my door. "Isabella, can I use your bathrooom? Isaak and Archer got there before me and locked me out."

I started laughing hysterically. "Good for them."

Garrett pouted. "Please?"

"Fine, just don't take longer that twenty minutes, got it?"

"Thank you." Garrett kissed my forehead and went into the bathroom.

He never said he got it. I sighed and got dressed, knowing, Garrett would be in there for over an hour. Note to self, I thought, don't let Garrett use your bathroom in the morning. Fuck my life.

Later, after breakfast, the boys asked if I wanted a ride, but I kindly declined, because I don't need everyone asking questions again.

"Why not?" Isaak asked.

"Do we embarrass you?" Archer teased.

I shrugged. "I just don't want people anymore girls asking me to hook them up with you, or guys asking me if I'm hooking up with you."

Isaak and Garrett blushed, but Archer was just laughing.

"Sluts!"

"Hey!" I spat. "One of those "sluts" is my best friend. She wanted to date Isaak."

"Why Isaak? He's a virgin. I'm not."

Isaak's face blasted red. "Archer! You didn't have to tell her that!"

"Yeah, Archer." I said. "You didn't have to say Isaak's a virgin. I know he's a virgin."

"I'm also hotter than Isaak." Archer continued.

"Please, you're just upset Stacy would rather open her legs to the virgin, than to the douche kebob."

Archer, Garrett, and I were laughing hysterically and tears of mortification pricked Isaak's eyes as he looked down at his feet.

I stopped laughing and rubbed his arm. "I'm sorry, baby. You know I don't care if you're a virgin or not. I mean, it's good to be innocent in that sense."

Isaak nodded and I caressed his cheek. "I know."

"I gotta go." I kissed Isaak's forehead and he smiled. "I love you."

"Love you too."

I kissed Garrett's forehead and he smiled. "I love you."

"Love you."

I kissed Archer's forehead . "I lo..." All of the sudden, I felt uncomfortable telling Archer I loved him. Maybe I just didn't. Maybe a part of me couldn't because he'd hurt me so badly in the past. It was obvious I'd hurt Archer's feelings because his smile faded and he lost eye contact. I felt bad and had to think of a recovery. I brushed his hair back to regain his attention. "... I love that you work so hard, but you were a mess last night. Come home with the guys today and we can all hang out, okay?"

Archer nodded and sighed. "Okay."

Garrett

I could tell Archer was a little hurt that Isabella couldn't tell him she loved him. Although, it was understandable. Archer hurt her many times, physically and emotionally. I couldn't bring it up to him, because he'd get all defensive and yell at me, so I let it go.
