Consequences of the Heart

Chapter 14

Quinn's POV

Brenton and I finish getting ready when I look at the clock to see that it is 8:45 which means that Brenton and I need to be leaving soon. "Brenton we need to get going if we don't want to be late." I say while looking the full-length mirror messing with a few loose strains of my hair that I straightened and put into a twisted braid. I am wearing red lipstick, a black lace dress top, Brenton's tags around my neck, extremely washed out jeans with rips on them, and black ankle strapped wedges.

"I am coming, it is just this bracelet won't stay hooked." Brenton walk out of my closet wearing an opened leather jacket, dark red short sleeve shirt under the jacket, watch on his one wrist, bracelet on other wrist, pair of dark wash jeans with rips along the legs with a black belt around his waist, and black boots on his feet. "The clip needs to be fixed." I say walking over to him and helping him with the bracelet. "You still haven't told me what we are doing tonight." I look into the eyes of boyfriend who has an incredible poker face.

"I already told you that I don't know either, we will all decide after we meet up Brick and Penelope." Brenton gives me a quick kiss before walking away from me and lightly spraying his cologne. "I thought Marines were supposed to be plan oriented?" Brenton starts laughing lightly as he inclines his head to the side. "We are very plan oriented when we need to be out in the field, but at home we are more just along for the ride and listen to where our significant other tells us to go." I roll my eyes grabbing my purse off the bed,

"Let's go." I say in a joking growl as Brenton puts his phone and wallet inside his pockets, "Yes dear." He jokes back holding the door for me as I walk into the hallways with him right behind me and the two of us head out for the night.

. It is a nice little drive that takes us past the Las Vegas strip that is of course all lit up and over to a little suburb community, "You didn't tell me that your buddy lived just on the other side of the Las Vegas strip." I say while Brenton pulls up to the house at the end of the block,

"My buddy Cord and his girlfriend live in a condo right on the Las Vegas Strip, but they wanted personal alone time tonight." I sit in the chair admiring the cute yet stunning two story modern looking home, "This place look adorably cozy." Brenton shakes his head placing his head on the steering wheel. "I am so sorry that I have my girly girl moments." I say crossing my arms over my chest just when the front door of the house opens up and two people walk out.

"Who are these two again?" I ask not wanting to make a fool out of myself in front of someone that Brenton sees as family. "My buddies name is Brick and his girlfriends name is Penelope." Brenton as before I turn my attention to the couple coming out of the house. Penelope who has a curvaceous figure and looks to be in her twenties and around the same height as me. "She looks like she just stepped out of high fashion magazine." I say as Penelope walks down the front steps with her dark brown hair looking like a waterfall.

She is wearing a white short-sleeve top that reveals most of her upper body, I can clearly see the promise ring on her left ring finger, pair of jean shorts that cover just as much as her top does, a hoodie that I am assuming belongs to Brick tied around her waist, and white high heels with a black design. "Brick thought so too when he first met her." Brenton comments as Brick is making sure that the house is lock up tight. Brick looks also to be in his twenties with blonde hair and the exact same height as Brenton.

Brick is wearing an opened sleeveless jean jacket, tie-dye tank top under the jean jacket, identical promise ring on his left ring finger, black pair of jeans with a white belt around his waist, and white sneakers on his feet. "They make a drop-dead gorgeous couple." Brenton laughs as he gets out of the car then walks over to my side opening my door for me and holds out his hand. "Such a gentlemen." I take Brenton's hand as he helps me out of the car just in time for Bick and Penelope to walk up to us.

"What up brother." Brick says as him and Brenton do their handshake and I can't help but notice Brick's Strong and defined jawline. "Brick and Penelope, I would like you to officially meet my girlfriend Quinn." Brick takes my hand with his green sparkling and places a gentle kiss on my hand, "It is a pleasure to finally meet the girl that Brenton never shut up about since the moment he arrived at base." I feel my cheeks flush as Brick slowly lets my hand fall,

"It is nice to meet you Quinn." Penelope says with an opening smile and geniuses shining in her hazel colored eyes. "What is the plan for the night?" Brenton asks turning his attention to Bick, "I thought we would keep it simple and just hit the Las Vegas Strip." Brenton looks over at me looking approval and I nod my head,

"Awesome, lets go." Brick and Brenton walk over to the car then Brick opens the back-car door, "Thanks." Penelope says giving Brick what looks a very sexual tension type kiss before she gets into the back seat and Brick closes the door before getting in on the other side.

"You coming?" Brenton asks holding the door open for me, "Yeah." Is all I say before walking over to the car and get into the passenger seat while Brenton closes the door and then gets into the driver seat. "Off to the Las Vegas Strip." Brenton starts the car then takes off towards the strip with the only thought in my head telling me that since I have been to the strip over a hundred times it would mean I couldn't get into too much trouble tonight, right?
