Chapter 12       

 I hate high school. There will be a time when high school will no longer get to me. I just wished that time could hurry up and come. As if my embarrassing night of, meet the family wasn’t humiliating enough, my morning was a follow-up of more mortifying family visits.

 I woke to the smell of eggs and strong coffee. I smiled, knowing that Clyde was up and making breakfast. I stretched the stiffness out of my body. I really needed more sleep. My body was complaining from my night time activity. I smiled remembering, then my face got red hot when I remembered that Clyde’s family probably thought I was no good for him.

 I took my lazy ass off the bed, and went to the bathroom. I peed, then brushed my teeth and wash my face. Looking in the mirror, I could see a few hickeys on my neck. Great, now how was I going to cover that up? I reached for my concealer, dabbing at the marks to try and concealed them. Suffice to say, it was no use. I still gave it a good go, concealing as much as I could. I put away my concealer and left the bathroom in search of Clyde.

 I came to an abrupt stop, when I saw that Calvin was sitting at the breakfast island with Clyde. Their backs were to me and they were talking.

 “So, this one must really be serious if you let her spend the night, and it hasn’t been just one night, it’s many nights.” Calvin said in that hair-raising voice of his, causing me to shudder.

 Clyde stiffen, the spoon that was halfway to his mouth falling back to his plate. He turned to face his brother, his voice filled with warning.

“Let get something straight here Cal, I will never be discussing Juliet with you. She’s off limits, to you and everyone else.”

 Calvin smirk, his brows raising in amusement. “Well, well, the great Clyde have been whipped. I guess you’re no longer Captain of that love em and leave em ship of yours.”

Clyde ignored him and continued eating. Calvin chuckled shaking his head.

“I can see why she would appeal to you, her wide eyed look of innocence is very attractive. However, judging from who she’s with and the way you two were behaving last night, I’d say she is far from innocent.”

I gasped, then brought my hands to my mouth to cover it up but it was already too late. Both brothers turned to look at me.

“Ah, the beautiful, Juliet.” The way Calvin dragged out my name made me wanna puke. I plastered a fake smile on my face, pulling at the hem of Clyde’s shirt. The one I always sleep in. Note to self, dress before you leave the room. I felt self-conscious, standing there with Calvin undressing me with his eyes.

 I fidget on the stop, swallowing the lump in my throat.

“Hello.”

I said, as Calvin thoroughly undress me with his eyes, making me squirm where I stood. Clyde moved so fast, jumping from his spot at the table, pinning his brother up against the wall. I screeched when I saw the knife Clyde had in his hand and it was pressed up against his brother’s throat.

“Cal, you’re my brother and I don’t really wanna hurt you, but this is your last warning. If you don’t stop eyeballing her, I will cause you pain. Got it?”  

Calvin held his hands up in surrender but his smirk was still on his face.

“You’d hurt your own brother, for a girl.”

Clyde didn’t take the bait he was setting. He moved away from Calvin, set the knife back down and came over to me. He took my hands, leading me to a chair as far from his Calvin as possible, then sat me on his lap. I felt a little more at ease however, I was still freaked out. I mean, what the hell Clyde!
