Inning of Love (Complete and being edited)

Scarlett.

I lay in my bed, wide awake and stare at the ceiling. Smiling to myself, reminiscing over the events from last night. I lightly bite my lip while running my hands over my stomach and inner thighs, remembering the way Dean touched me and how gentle he was. Though as gentle as he was, I am still extremely sore. I sit up, grab my phone from the charger on the nightstand and tap my finger on the texting icon.

I can't stop thinking about last night. You have no clue how much you mean to me Dean Michael Connors. Thanks for making my first time more special than I could have ever imagined. I love you.

Before getting out of bed completely, I send out one more message. One to my best friend, whom would certainly want to know everything that had occurred and dying to know every detail. Well, maybe not every detail. I chuckle as I text Nina.

Come over! I have lots to tell you my friend ;)

As I stand from the bed, my phone dings with a message.

OMG! Girl you already know I am on my way. Jammies and all. Haha.

I laugh at Nina's quick response and make my way out to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Before even entering the kitchen, the smell of bacon fills my nostrils, and my mouth instantly waters at the delicious smell.

"It smells amazing in here." I say as I see Seth standing by the stove top, and Valerie sitting at the breakfast bar admiring her fiancé.

"Hope you are hungry. Ham and cheese omelets with avocado and bacon." Seth announces as he starts to put the food on the plates.

I take a seat next to Valerie and she gives me a smile before looking away and then almost breaking her neck to get a second glance at me.

"My, my, my. Why Scarlett, you are absolutely glowing this morning." She chimes and I giggle quietly, trying to hide my now burning cheeks.

Seth places our plates in front of us with his brow arched. "And why is it that you are glowing if I may ask?"

I shrug my shoulders. "What are you talking about? Valerie glows all the time and we don't make her flush about it every morning." I smile, trying to act as subtle as I possibly can.

"Yeah silly but I am pregnant....oh my gosh, Wait! Are you pregnant?" Valerie screams with excitement.

I don't know why she would sound excited. As much as I would love to have a kid one day, now is not that day.

"No I am not pregnant Valerie." I dismiss her right away, laughing as I bring the fork to my mouth with a piece of the cheesy omelet.

"Exactly. Besides, you would have to have sex to get pregnant, and Scarlett here isn't having sex. Isn't that right?" Seth asks me.

I watch his face drain as I cough, almost choking on my food at his intrusiveness. I grab Valerie's glass of orange juice and chug half of it.

"Oh...my...fuck. When did you have sex with him? Scar, please tell me you two used protection." Seth pleads but I can tell he is trying to be as strong about this as he can. "Do you love him?"

I look into my brother's eyes and nod. "I love him Seth. I never knew I could feel like this about someone." I admit. "He is the only person that has been able to make my heart feel like it may burst out of my chest at any moment by the way it beats when I am around him. I can't control it."

Knock! Knock! "That is probably Nina." I tell Seth.

He nods and then sits down with his food as I start walking away to get the door. "Okay, but we are talking about this later, you hear me?" I nod. I knew I wasn't going to get out of this that easily.
