“Are you two decent. I need to talk to you both now!” Frantically, I get out of Colin’s hold, and we both dive for our clothes.
“Uh, wait just a sec, Wallace,” I say uncomfortably. I know my brother knows I have sex with his best friend. But Colin and I both don’t like to throw it in his face cause it makes us all feel awkward.
When we’re both dressed, Colin walks over and opens the door and gestures Wallace inside dramatically. Wallace punches Colin, “That’s enough of that, asshole. You were screwing my sister a few minutes ago so I don’t think you get to have the attitude here.”
Colin shrugs and mutters, “Fair enough,” before sitting down and pulling me into his lap. “So what do you need to talk to us about, Wall, that’s so important at…” I glance at my phone “six o’ clock in the morning.”
Wallace looks hesitant, and both Colin and I briefly make eye contact before looking back at him. My brother is not the type to hesitate about much of anything. My interest in what he has to say just shot up, and I tense and lean forward, ready to hear whatever he has to say.
“Well, there’s a girl.” There’s never been a girl before, and I don’t even know how to process what he’s saying. There’s always been hook ups but never a girl that meant anything. He’d never even started a conversation like this before. I could feel Colin’s interest in Wallace’s words too, and we both wait for him to go on.
“I met her last night. She was a tiny blond with the longest hair and the biggest brown eyes. She didn’t even know who I was but ran right into me looking for the bathroom. I got her to talk to me, but she got spooked when I said my name and disappeared soon after. She was so sexy but sweet. I’ve got to know who she was. Did you two see her at all last night?”
Colin says, “Man, I’d love to help you out, but I had my hands full with you sister getting hit on by her middle school crush in front of the whole damn party.” He squeezes my waist before adding, “And blondes really aren’t my type.” I lean over and kiss him hard for that one, and when I bite his lip, he starts to growl at me in response.
I giggle, and Wallace stands and says, “Don’t fucking worry about it. I can tell you two won’t be any help until you get some more time together.” Guiltily, I pull back from Colin and frown. My brother’s always there for me, and I need to listen and try to help him. He never needs anyone for anything, and he wants our help right now.
Elbowing Colin, I ask Wallace, “When did you see her last night, Wallace? Was it before or after the guys from Randall crashed the party?” Wallace answers quickly, “It was after that, Reagan. Do you think she was with that crowd?”
Colin jumps in before I can, “Uh, yeah, man, I think she was with them. She got spooked at your name, and you’d never seen her before. I think that means there’s a very good damn chance she’s from Randall.”
I jump up and say, “Well, that means we’re going to have to go Randall today and ask around. See if anyone knows her and how we can find her.” Colin’s scowling at that discussion and tell me immediately, “No fucking way, baby, are we going to Randall after what that asshole did and said last night. I don’t want him to think that there’s a chance in hell that you’re interested.”
I scoff at Colin, “What the hell are you complaining about, Colin? You won that fight! And I could care less about Decker. But I do want to help Wallace find this girl.” Then I glance over at Wallace before laying on the guilt. “If my brother hadn’t of asked you on the team, who knows if we’d ever gotten together and met like we did. We owe him a lot.”
Colin looks down and I can tell he’s battling with his loyalty towards Wallace and his hatred for Decker. “Fine, we’ll go there for a few hours this morning and see if we can locate where his girl lives or works. But
