"You two were in there for a while." Dakota raises a skeptical brow at us as we walk down the stairs.
I look back at Winter who follows close behind me. "He told me about Vanessa." I explain.
"Ah." My brothers mouth opens. "Yeah she sounds like a real bundle of joy." He says sarcastically.
I release a dark chuckle. "Yeah I'd definitely describe her as that...a good ole bundle of joy."
Winter shoves me gently with his shoulder as we set foot at the end of the stairs. "You guys act as if she's an ax murderer or something." He laughs.
"Maybe she is, who knows?" Dakota smirks.

My brother sucks in a dramatic gasp. "Sam, good boyfriend just told me to shut up. What are you going to do to defend my honor?" He asks me.
I bite the inside of my cheek in annoyance. "He's not my - "

"What are you going on about?" I shove his arm away with a small smile.

"You guys are buttholes."
"Woah, Sam, over here using the big girl words are we?" The smug boy next to me nudges me again. I grunt as I use all the strength I can muster to push him to the side but all that occurs is his feet stumbling once over one another.
"Real cute." Winter he ruffles my hair, earning a glare from me."Maybe try running from the opposite direction next time?" He gives me a patronizing pat on the back.
