bianca -a little bit later-
"she can have one shot." brielle tells derek. he gives her a look.
"no she cannot." he says back. she rolls her eyes and pass me the shot.
"brielle." he says. they begin to argue. the boys are laughing watching them. i tap my nails on the counter as i wait for them to stop arguing. sammy gets up and pours the others shots. he passes them out.
"cheers." sammy says. i raise mine and then take it. they boys laugh. a few almost choke. derek and brielle are still arguing. i grab bottle of Jack daniels and takes a drink out of it. derek acts like i've never drank before. when in fact, i have. and with him too. i set the bottle down and it clanks. derek turns around.
"bianca!" he exclaims.
"what?" i ask in the same tone. the guys are trying not to laugh.
"how many did you take?" he asks.
"1." i say. he nods.
"and then a drink from the bottle." i add.
"dude!" he exclaim again. he turns to brielle.
"take her upstairs." he tells her.
"she's a big girl. she can stay down here." she tells him. he then turns to the boys.
"you guys fucking touch her tonight, i'll murder you. no joke." he says. they all nod. brielle hands me another shot and we take it. derek shakes his head.
"enough. go sit down." he tells me. i sigh and he hands me a water bottle. i walk out of the kitchen and to the living room. i then sit down on the couch and go on my phone. a few minutes later, everyone comes into the living room and sits down. gilinsky sits next to me. derek shoots him a look. he nods.
"ignore him." i say. gilinsky laughs.
"what movie should we watch?" derek asks. all the guys pitch out ideas. we finally settle on some marvel movie. i go on my phone as it starts.
"can you come help me with the popcorn?" i ask gilinsky. he nods. we both get up and that sparks derek's attention
"we're you goin'?" he asks
"to make popcorn. dont worry, hell stand across the kitchen while i make it." i roll my eyes and we walk into the kitchen.
"hes protective of you huh?" gilinsky asks. i nod, grabbing the popcorn.
"very much so. which is stupid. im 20. i can handle myself." i say
"hes just doing his roll." he says.
"yea i know. but it can get annoying sometimes." i say. he nods.
"but i mean i see why he does it." i say, leaning against the counter.
"why?" he asks
"cuz you dont seem too afraid to shoot your shot or speak your mind." i say. gilinsky laughs.
"im not." he says
"so ive learned." i say.
"im surprised the others have kept quiet." he says
"why?" i ask.
"by now, theyd have the girl wrapped around their finger." he says
"and your not like that?" i ask. he shakes his head
"i prefer to take it slow. get to know the girl first." he says. i nod
"but it makes it ten times harder when they have an older brother." he smirks. i smile
"does it?" i ask. he nods
"oh yea. i got be subtle with my advances. i like that shirt by the way." he says. i laugh
"was that an advancement?" i question. he shrugs
"so subtle, youll never know." he says. the microwave dings and i grab the bag from it. i toss it to gilinsky and he grabs a bowl as i pop the next bag in.
"im assuming your single?" he asks. i nod, pressing the time in.
"cuz of derek or just becuase you dont wanna have a boyfriend?" he asks. i turn around as the microwave begins.
"all the guys ive been with were dicks. which was ironic because they didnt really have one." i say. he laughs
"im surprised one of derek's friends havent snatched you up." he says
"ive barely just met you guys. his friends arent allowed to go near me. you guys are lucky your breathing the same air as me." i say.
"well look at us. breathing the same air. and im near you." he says
"must have god on your side." i joke.
"maybe. cuz im definitley seeing angels." he winks and walks out of the kitchen with the bowl of popcorn. i smile. subtle huh?
