April Fools(15)

"I wish that I could meet him."

"Me too."

"You should bring him into the bar one night."

"Hmmm, I'm not sure..."

"Why not?"

"I've not told him about us yet, I don't know how he'd react. I'd rather wait until you finish working here."

"We don't have to tell him, you could introduce me as your friend. I'll ply him with alcohol so he doesn't suspect anything."

"Hmmm, are you sure you're going to be able to keep your hands off me?"

"I can't promise anything."

I laughed, "I'll think about it."

After nearly ending up on his desk for a second time, I left his office with rosy cheeks and a huge smile.





Chapter Ten

My good mood carried on for the rest of the day and I practically skipped home from class. When I got back to Lucy's, I was greeted by the smell of something cooking.

"Hey, Sis" Brody shouted from the kitchen.

I went to investigate. "Hey, what's cooking?"

"Chicken curry."

We high fived. "God, I've missed your curries. What's it in aid of?"

"I wanted to cook for my little sister and say thank you to Lucy for letting me crash."

I leaned up on my tiptoes to ruffle his hair, "See, you can be sweet. So how's your day been?"

"Interesting, yours?"

"Interesting." I blushed as I thought back to my earlier antics. "You were up early this morning."

"Yeah, I gave Lucy a ride to class."

I raised my eyebrow in question.

"She was running late."

"Well that's nice of you."

"Try telling her that, I had to force her onto my bike. She wanted to walk even though she was already ten minutes late."

I heard the front door open before Lucy joined us in the kitchen a few seconds later. She eyed Brody suspiciously.

"Speak of the devil" I said.

She laughed, "What have I done now?"

"You tell me. How was your day?"

"Good, thanks."

"She had her legs spread and her body pressed up against mine, of course it was good. You don't have to downplay it, you can admit how awesome it was."

"That won't be happening ever again."

He laughed, "That's what you think."

"In your dreams."

"Actually, we don't wear any clothes in my dreams. Do you want me to show you?"

She blushed, "You're crazy."

"I'd rather be crazy than in denial."

I sighed before taking a seat at the kitchen table, "Play nice, children."

Lucy took a seat next to me, "Did your brother tell you what happened this morning?"

"Yep, he gave you a ride to class because you were late."

"Oh no, he kidnapped me and then drove the long way to class."

Brody winked at me, "I'm new around here, I didn't know that there was a shorter route."

She gasped, "We actually drove past the University. Twice. You know, that huge building with the University logo on it?"

"I was concentrating on the road."

"Didn't you wonder why I was squeezing you so damn hard?"

"No, I just thought you wanted to grope me."

She rolled her eyes, "Well thanks for making me even later, it would have been faster for me to walk."

"But a lot less fun." He walked over to the table with two plates of curry, "Please accept this as my apology."

She sighed, "This actually looks pretty good."

"Don't sound so surprised" Brody replied as he walked back into the kitchen for his plate.

I laughed before digging in.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Brody asked after we finished eating.

"Well, the last time I checked, we were sitting at the kitchen table" I replied.

He grinned, "Wow, you definitely got the funny gene. Let's go out for a drink, I'm paying."

"I can't" Lucy answered.

"You busy reading? Have you got one of those candle things?"

"It's a kindle and no, I'm actually going to a friend's house."

"And by friend you mean boyfriend?"

She frowned, "No, I mean friend." She looked at me, "A few of us are going to see Lukas, he's feeling a lot better. I think he's getting fed up of staying in the house on his own."

"See, it is a man."

We both ignored him. "Do you want to come?" she asked me.

"We'll go" Brody replied before I even had the chance to say anything.

"Woah, woah, woah..."

"What? Do you not know this Lukas guy?"

Um, long story.

"I know him."

"Then let's go. You heard what Lucy said, the poor guy's getting bored." He turned to face Lucy, "Wait, why is he getting bored?"

Lucy looked at me before standing up, "I'm going to get changed. Thanks for dinner, Brody."
