bring her back, it’s not a
problem, but I think she just told you that she doesn’t want to
come back there. So, yeah, if I bring her back how about you are on
the porch when I get there…Why? Because you have beyond gotten
under my skin….Yeah. Yeah….Alright see ya.” He snapped my phone
shut tossing it on the couch next to my leg and sat
down.
    “ What was that?” I asked, annoyed
at his manly pushiness.
    “ It was me getting really
irritated with your brother,” he snapped.
    “ Geez,” I said, curling up on the
couch. Evan laid down wrapping his arms around me, his body
pressing against my back.
    “ I don’t like it. He doesn’t need
to treat you like that.” He kissed the back of my head.
    “ He is just a moron.”
    “ It won’t end well for him is all
I’m saying,” he sighed, probably realizing that it meant more than
he realized.
    “ Goodnight, Evan.” I fell
asleep.
    Loud banging startled me awake.
Evan was nowhere to be found, at least around me. I sat up in the
dark- apparently it was still night. Half asleep, I held onto the
wall stumbling to find my way through the house. There was a light
coming from a doorway. I made my way, eyes adjusting slowly, and
turned the knob.
    “ Please, Evan,” an older man
pleaded on his knees.
    Evan stood in front of the
fellow with a look of blankness on his face. Another guy around the
same age as Evan with dark hair and blue eyes, stood there
casually. My arms erupted in a million goose bumps. The door was
barely open, but all three of them seemed to notice my
presence and stopped what they were
doing.
    Evan stormed forward, yanking the
doorknob from my hand. I stood frozen, my hand suspended in midair,
staring into his wide eyes.
    “ What are you doing awake?” he
asked, somewhat startled.
    I stared past him at the
older man in a suit still kneeling on the
floor. The man didn’t look back at me, just stared at the ground,
his face cut and bloody. His shirt was ripped at the collar and one
of his black shoes was missing.
    “ I heard a noise, it woke me up.
Is everything alright?”
    “ Eve, its fine,” he said, stepping
out and pulling the door shut behind him.
    “ Who is that man and why is he
bleeding?” I demanded.
    “ He works for my dad. It’s a whole
lot of nothing and I am sorry you had to see this.” He grabbed my
arm.
    “ You’re not going to…you
know?”
    Evan laughed at me pulling me back
down the hall. He opened another door and brought me inside the
room.
    “ Come here,” he said, motioning
with his finger. I stared at him for a beat, searching for
something, but I wasn’t sure what- a hint of crazed behavior
maybe.
    “ What?” I said,
slowly walking up to him. He pulled me to him drawing my face up to
his; I stood on my tiptoes to reach his lips. His lips were warm,
his kisses so soft they made my heart skip
beats. It was a thrilling feeling even if I wasn’t sure what was
going on.
    “ This is my bedroom, you can sleep
in here. It’s more comfortable. And I’ll be back.”
    I grabbed a hold of his belt
buckle not letting him go. “Kiss me again and don’t go.” He very
much obliged backing me up against his bedroom wall- my head hit
with a soft thud. He ran his hand along my face, down my neck and
to my chest stopping before he got too touchy.
    “ I got to. I’ll come back, though,
and we can fall asleep together, promise.” He kissed my forehead
before heading out of the bedroom.
    I crawled into the huge bed with
its down comforter and snuggled against all the big fluffy pillows.
It was one of the most comfortable beds ever.
    Evan blew my mind with his stern
behavior, but at the same time, he was so hard to take my mind off
of because he was just so good looking and charming. I didn’t know
if things would get physical, it was never something I thought
about that hard. I knew that maybe one day it would happen, but I
wasn’t thinking too much on it. I don’t think he was either. He
seemed to be the sort of
