My Brother's Girlfriend

Chapter Six

Shelly's POV

He smiles as he leans closer to the blonde haired beauty. Whatever they were talking about, it has to be wrote funny because the girl's head tilts backward as she laughs aloud.

He glances up and meets my eyes. Feeling like a creeper for watching them for the past thirty minutes, I yank my gaze away from Ash and focus on the adults at this table.

"They seem to be getting along." Mrs. Miller gushes to the lady beside her.

"Yes. I'll talk to Heather tonight about getting married to him as soon as possible." The lady nods as she, too, watches the brewing couple.

An ugly feeling tightened in my chest. My stomach twisted in a jumbled mess. It wasn't a good feeling and I hated it.

I shouldn't be getting jealous over something that isn't mine, something I can't even control. But, I can't help it.

I know that I'm with Reece. I hate that I can't leave. But, even if for just a short moment, I should feel happy. I know I came on a little strong last night but I just want to have sex willingly at least once in my life. So, why not with Ash.

I'll tell you why.

He's my boyfriend's brother and he turned me down last night. Two good reasons to let this go. It seems as if he'll be happy with Heather. She could give him a great relationship without being an abused broken girl dating his abusive brother. He's better off with her.

And I'm better off with Reece..

Reece squeezes my side from beside me, causing me to wince in pain from the bruises. I force a smile as I focus my attention back to my boyfriend.

"What do you think, Shellz?" He asks me.

Confusion washes over me as I scan my eyes around the table. Everyone was staring at me, waiting for my response.

"Um.. I'm sorry. I spaced out. What do I think of what?" I ask, deciding its better to be honest rather then try to wing it.

"Helping me plan the wedding for Ash and Heather, sweety." Wait what? I'm against it! I don't wanna help! "If they both agree to get married, of course." She adds on as, smiling over at the other lady.

I glance over at Reece. He has a smile on his face yet his eyes showed fury. What the hell is that about?

Please don't let it be directed at me.

"Uh, yeah. Sure, no problem." I nod with a smile.

She claps her hands. "Great!"

Reece stands up and holds out his hand. "Let's dance."

I sigh inwardly as I stand up. He takes my hand and pulls me toward where Heather and Ash were. They were already dancing and laughing.

"She's too good for him." He chuckles as he glances at Heather.

I look back as well and frown. "Why is that?"

He shrugs. "She's beautiful and kind, as far as I can tell. Ash is fucked up. I honestly don't want to know anyone, in their right mind, who would ever want to be with him. Even his ex couldn't stay with just him." He chuckles as he shakes his head at the last part.
