Chapter 26

Ella

When finally approaching home, I all but rush for my room, unable to face Reece or Dylan at the given moment after having told Caleb what had all transpired between Kris and I at the mall as I all but felt mortified knowing I would have to eventually suck it up and talk to Kris, a part of me that still wasn’t ready for the task as I all but throw my bags to the side.

Spotting my big huge bed I all but run towards it, throwing my body across the top of it as I move to grab my bear, the bear that has always been my sense of comfort since the very beginning, my face all but moving to bury itself along the soft material that made up the bear as I attempt calm my racing heart.

They’ll never want me now, not after telling Caleb what Kris just did to me, I all but think, tears threatening to fall from my eyes as I try not to think the worst.

Just then I hear a ping coming from my phone and I all but move to see who sent it, a message from Kris popping up on my screen as I move to see what she wrote.

Kris: Hey… Sorry for ditching you like that, I know it wasn’t one of my best moves, but.. I figured after what happened in Victoria Secret it was just best if I left.

Biting my lip, I hesitate to reply only to sigh before sending a reply back.

Ella: Hey no worries, thanks for calling Grant and having him send Caleb to come get me, not sure what I would have done if I was left stranded at the mall.

Waiting to see if she’ll reply back I move to text Reece, still too afraid to face him just yet.

Ella: Hey, can we have the slumber party in my room tonight?

Reece: Sure Agapi Mou, should I have Caleb and Dylan join us? Or will it just be me and you?

Frowning slightly I know it wouldn’t be fair if I only included Reece so I move to text back with a question of my own.

Ella: Do they want to join the slumber party too?

Reece: Let me find out, let me ask them

Knowing what they’ll probably say, I move to look back towards my phone when Kris moves to text me back.

Kris: Of course, it’s what any good friend would do… Look… I know I fucked up, and in a major way too so I’ll understand if you never want to see me again ever, but please know it was never my intention to hurt you, I hope some day you’ll be able to forgive and we can still be friends… I’ve already spoken to Grant and Hayden and they both agree it would be best if I not come around right now, and that instead they’ll come to me

Feeling guilty, I can’t help but feel like I’ve now placed this big huge wedge between me and my best friend and having both Grant and Hayden pay for its crime for it wasn’t their fault things turned out the way it did between me and Kris, but it was my fault they now had to make unnecessary changes just to see Kris. Sighing, I move to text her back.

Ella: I never said we couldn’t be friends, I still want us to be friends, it’s just I need time to process whatever it was that happened between us before I can be ready to forgive you, That doesn’t mean you can’t come over to still see the guys, this is their home too and they shouldn’t be penalized for something I’m uncomfortable with at the moment.

Sensing tears I all but moved to wipe them away only to realize that Reece had texted me back while typing a response to Kris, a watery smile now moving to grace my lips as I moved to see what it was he said.

Reece: They both said yes, we’ll be up shortly to begin the slumber party, why don’t you slip into something more comfortable and well bring the snacks, for tonight it’ll just be you and us

At the mention of us, I can’t help but blush wondering if I could get them to fulfill part of my ever growing desire for sure, I just had a scary encounter with my best friend but that didn’t mean that I would let that hold me back from wanting to be with each of them for this time I knew that if I asked them to stop they at least would do as I asked.

Smiling, I move to climb off my bed before moving to find something more comfortable to wear, a small smirk rising at the perfect thing, heading for the dresser I opt for a light blue cami and a pair short blue cotton shorts, shorts that would barely cover my ass as I move to quickly undress knowing it wouldn’t be long until each of my brothers showed up for the slumber party.

-45 minutes later-

After changing and getting myself comfortable on my massive bed I all but hear the door to my room open, my eyes now moving to see who it was only to see Reece. My eyes slowly taking in his half naked form as he all but moves to enter, dressed in nothing but light gray sweats and no shirt I can’t help but mentally drool as I take in his upper half, with abs that could kill I move to see the tattoo I had previously seen, the tattoo all but covering his left peck before slowly making its way up towards his neck and over his shoulder and probably down his back all but makes me shiver, the urge to go over and trace my fingers along his tattoo all but evident.

Hot damn is he fine, and to think he’s not only my step brother but someone I want to fuck too, purrs my mind, my eyes unable to leave his as he chuckles, amused by my stare as he too moves to take in my form, my toned 5’8 body all but on display as my long lean legs sit nicely crossed at the ankles as I just continue to sit there and wait.

“Hello beautiful, ready for our party?” purrs Reece as he moves to sit down snacks and drink before moving to ever slowly come and sit by me, my body humming in anticipation as I move to ask him about Caleb and Dylan.

“Where’s Caleb and Dylan?” I ask, my voice just above to a whisper as I continue to watch this man who now sat beside me.

“There coming” was all he said as if on cue, both Caleb and Dylan each move to enter as well, both dressed similar to Reece except Dylan wore a darker gray and Caleb wore black, both just as shirtless as Reece before they too came to sit on the bed, each of getting comfortable before Caleb moves to turn on a movie for us to watch, my mind boggling at what to do next.

I think I’m in trouble, I gulp, for sure I knew what I was getting myself into when suggesting the sleepover but now that it was happening I was all but nervous until I all but feel lip graze my shoulder causing me to turn only to see Reece as he moves to look at me with eyes of love, devotion and above all, want, his want to be with me and only me all but putting my mind and heart at ease as we just continue to stare at one another silently.

I’m so royally screwed, but in a good way, was all I can think as I move to lick my lips my thoughts now running wild with all the possibility in the world for knowing I could ask for anything and they would give it.
