The Brooks Boys

Chapter Fifty :Part Two:

"Eleanor!" I hear Jais voice call. I almost forgot that he was comming over.

"I'm up here." I call back. I can't help my draining tone. It's not like Beau to get shook up like he did but I guess no one feels like being themselves today. There must be someting in the water.

"What's up with Beau? I just saw him storm out of here." He pants. Looks like he ran here. The boy must be real eager to hear about this secret.

"Does the name Aislinn ring a bell for you?" I ask without thought as he enters my room.

"Aislinn? What about Aislinn?" Jais expressions join Beaus on my bedroom floor and I'm sure mine are close.

"Nothing, Beau just got a little upset when I mentioned her name. She was distant friend of mine. Not anymore."

"I bet he did. We used to know an Aislinn. Let's just say she was an old friend of ours." His lips jutter in discomfort as he forces the words out in the same fashion that his brother had recently done so.

"May I ask of her last name?" I squeak.

"I believe it was Gardell." He chokes a little.

"No way! That's my Aislinn. Small world huh?" I exclaim in a forced, chirpy tone, trying to not express my hatred for both of the boys' instant mood swings.

"Yeah, you could say that." he coughs unconfortabley.

"S-so what did Beau, or anyone, say about Aislinn?"Jai mumbles after a few seconds of silence.

"Nothing, she just came up in the previous conversation." I look away from him, avoiding the rising tension.

"...Changes everything." he whispers in an inaudible voice.

"What?" I almost snap.

"Nothing, no nothing. Anyway. Tell me about this secret of yours." he tries his best to smile.

"Oh yeah, that. Take a seat." I huff and gesture in the direction of the bed.

"So.." He stirs.

"Well, this is completely awkward but as you would probably presume, Beau and I are in a relationship without sexual content." I tell him, taking a deep breath.

"Yeah, sure." he taunts with a sarcastic smirk.

"Don't look at me like that!" I nudge him playfully.

"Then don't lie to me!" he giggles.

"What do you mean?" I cock my head to one side and he lowers his chin at me giving me a typical, 'you can't be serious' look.

"I heard you two this morning! Proper getting it on. Why'd you think I left the house?" his cheeks tint with red and his eyes are laced with humor.

"You couldn't have we never- Oh. That." I stop and for a moment my cheeks light up too.

"Yeah, that. It sure sounded like a sexual relation to me." He grins widely showing me his set of perfect teeth.

"Well it wasn't. Well, not entirely. We didn't actually- you know," I stuttered. I'd now consider the bush beaten around but I'm too embarrassed to care.

"Ohhh, I get it. You sucked him off?" He brings his lip in between his teeth and nods.

"What? No! Less than that." I whisper.

"Oh, you gave him a little wank?" He raises one brow at me.

I nod slowly and turn my head completely detaching from his eye contact.

"You don't have to be embarrassed around me, Eleanor. I've heard it all before. Don't be ashamed." he places a reassuring palm on my shoulder.

"What was I saying?" I sigh brushing of my sheepish feelings.

"Sexual relations." He reminds me.

"Ah, yes. So as the couple we are we don't share complete sexual relations. Now here's the secret part." I lean in closer.

"Okay, I'm ready." Jai sighs.

"Well not that you'd know but Beau has the idea of me being pure, without tarnish. Understand?" I nod slowly, coaxing him.

"Yeah, I understand. Beau already told me you're a virgin." He shrugs.

"What?!" I shout.

"Yeah, but don't worry he was thrilled about it. He said it was great to be able to start over with someone, especially someone like you. He told me that he wasn't going to rush you but as soon as you're ready he'd want to be the one to take you. Or something along those lines. But shhh, that was a secret."

He presses his index finger to his lips like a small child.

How can I trust him?

If that was a secret, who knows what and who he'll tell this to.

I didn't think this through. But then again, when do I ever?

Not thinking things through is exactly how I got into this whole mess so I guess I've already started as I 'meant' to go on.

"I won't judge you, you know? I think it's cool that you're a virgin. You don't get that type of purity in sixteen year old girls anymore." He smiles as an attempt of reassurance.

"That's the problem Jai. That's the secret." I turn to him.

"What is? I'm confused." His eyes wonder to mine, full of worry.

"I lied Jai. I'm not a virgin."
