FIFTEEN

IRIS MARA
It has taken me many days to digest and come to acceptance of it but truth be told, I was beyond sexually attracted to my brother's best friend.

Right now as I sat, I couldn't help but admire his dark hair that was matted against his forehead with sweat. It was very similar to how it rested in my previous night's extravaganza.

As his mouth opened to belt out his verse in solita, his already prominent jawline grew even more intense.

"That's a wrap!" Nick shouts into the mic as the final song comes to an end.

I am instantly greeted by Edwin,"Hey, mamas." He speaks up with a grin.

"You down to go grab some frozen yogurt with the boys and I before the show?" He queried.

"You know me enough to know that I never pass down some fro-yo, Edwin" I answer with a wide, teasing smile.

"You do have a point there. But I'm going to go take a bathroom break real fast, ma."

I nod my head while giving the boy a small smile,"I'll go wait outside with the boys then."

We both turn around and head our seperate ways.

My destination though was not looking so desirable anymore as a shirtless Brandon now stood blocking the way.

This whole avoiding him thing was not going entirely as I had orginally planned.

He seemed to sense my presence as his brown eyes then fluttered over towards where I stood.

"Hey, Iris." He said with a captivating smile.

It then fell slowly once he noticed the emotionless expression on my face,"Is everything alright?"

Which wasn't necessarily me having no emotion to offer. It was more or less me trying my best to not check out his toned abdomen.

I look down at the floor as I suck my teeth,"Of course."

He then closed the distance that I had purposefully kept between the two of us by inching his way over to me.

"I thought the Mara's were goats when it came to lying straight through their teeth."

He shrugs his broad shoulders a bit,"I seemed to have miscalculated then as I can clearly see that something is wrong with you."

My brows furrow and a jaundiced scowl appears on my face.

"You know absolutely nothing about me at all, Brandon."

"You're right, Iris. You are in fact a complete mystery to me." He responds, using the same exact amount of emphasis I had used when I said his name.

"But I'm quite the specialist when it comes to eyeing someone who is acting out of the ordinary."

I shake my head while biting down on my bottom lip.

"You really think that you are on to something, Brandon but you're seriously not." I respond as I shoulder myself past him.

This is of course was not going to pass by with Brandon as he then pressed my back up against a nearby wall.

His face was now only centimeters away from mine while both of his muscular arms rested on either side of my head.

"I think that you'd be quite shocked to discover what all I know about you." Brandon assures me with a tightly clenched jaw.

He dropped his hands to his side and for a small moment his intimadating demeanor falters a bit.

The sound of Edwin whistling as he walks down the hall towards us then adverted both of our attentions over to him.

Brandon gave the curly-headed Dominican a tight smile,"Iris and I might be a little behind but tell the boys to just go on ahead."

As Edwin nods and heads outside to catch up with the boys, Brandon turns back to me.

He cocks an eyebrow up,"Why are you acting so silent now, Iris? You sure do have a lot more to say in those dreams you have about me."

I jut my chin up and stoutly cross my arms across my chest.

I then let out a shakey breath, signifying that I had been defeated. "I am finished with this conversation."

He nods his head,"Okay and I fully respect your decision." He responds,"Do I have your permission to ask one final question real fast though?"

I run my tongue across my bottom lip as I hesitate to answer, afraid of what this particular question had to offer.

"Yes. You have my consent to ask your question." I finally reply.

He had already known what I had been attempting to keep from him. What else did I really have to lose in this situation?

The boy inclined his head slowly as his eyes remained trained on me.

"If I just so happened to kiss you right now, would you kiss back?"
