Chapter 183: I Don't Get Scared Easily
Brianna
I felt awkward with the attention on me, so I quickly tried changing the subject in that bathroom and then I just decided to leave altogether. Hannah never spoke to me but she scowled at me the entire time I was there.
“What is her issue with me?” I asked Jane.
“She is a bitch.” Shd waved it off.
When I was back in the main room, I looked around for Roy and I almost got nervous when I didn't immediately see him. Then I realized a group of guys were standing with their hands out, shot glasses in hand. They said something to my brother and took down the shot of whatever liquor it was. When Jane and I approached, I could tell my brother was very drunk.
“There she is,” he waved me over and it made me laugh. I went to his side of the table where they were standing around.
“Should we switch you over to water?” I asked him and he snorted.
“Not a chance,” he said but I would have him rethink that a little bit.
“Have one,” he picked up a shot glass for me.
“If you don't, I will.” He threatened to drink it, I quickly grabbed it from his hand and took the shot. I shivered at the taste and let it settle hot in my stomach.
He threw an arm around my shoulder and when my eyes lifted, they just so happened to catch Roy's. He had the slightest smirk on his lips which made me smile for some reason. What is he thinking about having that smirk on his face? Bryce was making me laugh and I found myself sticking with him for a while. Even though I told Roy I was just going to the bathroom and coming back, he didn't seem to mind though. Everyone found my brother's great enthusiasm to be funny, we drank together, he tried dancing a little with everyone he was all over the place. Eventually, a girl latched on him and I gave him space and that brought me back to Roy. I honestly thought since I wasn't giving him my attention that he would just go off with another girl. He definitely got their attention, I have seen the girls flirt with him, but he didn't though and I was surprised. I am sure not for my sake, he must not feel like it. But when I became free again, he did come straight to me and it felt nice. Men never wait, they want what they want when they want it or else they just leave it.
“Hey?” I said, smiling as he came up to me.
“Your brother is a rare person for tonight, huh?” He chuckled and glanced at him. He is making it right now.
“He is, I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I just got called over and kind of lost track of time.” I explained to him.
“I know, darling, I saw and I don't mind. Well, if it is your brother, if it is some chump that is gaining your attention, I might mind a little bit.” He smirked.
With his fingertips, he brushed my hair off my shoulders which tickled me.
“Oh really? And what happens when Roy minds?” I teased him, his smirk turned into something else and he looked kind of hot when he licked his lips.
“Roy would probably knock the chump out.”
I am toxic for liking that, just plain toxic. When I bit my lip, his eyes went down to them.
“You have the prettiest lips, you must get told that all the time.” His eyes still lingered there.
My lips are full , especially my bottom lip, so I have been told but it is nothing. I just shrugged like I didn't and his hand came up and with his thumb, he brushed my bottom lip slightly, taking a step closer.
“Fuck, the things I had to do to kiss those lips?” He licked his own.
“What would you do?” The liquor was talking for me.
“If you let me? I would just fucking kiss you, whenever happens after that, is after that and I would still have kissed you though.” Hd smirked, knowing his chances of fighting it out with my brother. I don't know why that doesn't scare him away but I like it.
Would I let him kiss me? I glanced back quickly and saw just a glimpse of Callan. He was with a woman and I couldn't technically see their faces but it looked like they were kissing or dancing close. Doing something intimate, this is the man I let myself cry about. I chuckled at my stupidity, turning back to Roy. I swallowed hard and looked up at him
“What if I am letting you?” I asked, I was weirdly kind of nervous. I just want to look sexy and not dumb. I know he had options tonight and I don't want to be the dud he regrets.
His hands came up and cupped my face, by the time I looked up, he was already capturing my lips with his. He didn't hesitate for a second, my heart fluttered and I kissed him back. It started slow enough, sensual actually but then our tongues came together and he depends on the kiss, pulling me against him. We were standing off to the side right now but it was not like we were hiding behind anything. Maybe we were being stupid and Bryce would notice but if Roy doesn't care then maybe I don't either. Why can my brother make out with girls all night and complain when I do? I know it is his friend, but if I had female friends here that were Jane, he would totally try hooking up with her. He wanted to when he was with my friend Rose, I could tell. I was now pressed against Roy, who is at least six feet tall or more. I never saw his body but tonight, his shirt was tighter than the ones I have seen him in before and I could feel it while pressed against him.
One hand was gripping my hips to keep me in place while his other hand was cupping my face, still to control the kiss. We didn't start making out hard core or anything, we kissed for a minute before pulling away to catch our breath. I am not sure why we were out of breath but I can say I liked the kiss. We have chemistry, Roy and I maybe not for something serious but for this, maybe. He cursed under his breath when he pulled away from me, his hand hadn't left my hip and his grip was tight on it as he looked down at me, our faces still lingering closely. He wants to kiss me more, I can tell. His lips were soft, I hate dry lips but his lips were nice too.
“You are playing with fire, Roy.” I smirked when I saw he was willing to risk it again and kiss me in front of this entire room. His head was still dipped lower, so I could look up and be close to it. He brushed my temple with his nose and chuckled.
“I don't get scared easily, darling.” He let me know he wasn't second guessing the risk. Bryce is honestly drunk to fight at this point.
“You crazy bastard!” I heard someone say behind me, Roy's head lifted and I saw those same three guys who had those same grins from behind. I think they are the ones betting money on this.
“Fuck off,” Roy waved at them away from us. He was going to retain his attention to me but another one spoke up, making him lift his head again.
“Little Fletcher, you are going to get our boy killed.” One of them teased me.
“Bryce can't even stand straight, nevermind throw a punch.” I rolled my eyes and they all smirked. They were bugging me.
“Maybe you are safe from him tonight then,” he shrugged but I could see there was more to it. Sure enough, he continued.
“But Callan will always be sober enough to shoot someone in the eye.” He chuckled.
They always talk about shooting people which makes me uncomfortable. Because I assumed it is a figure of speech but the way they talk about it makes it seems like Callan is really out there shooting people. He told me he doesn't, so I lifted my chin to show confidence.
“I don't see why this should matter to Callan in any way.”
Roy pulled me against him and smiled down at me.
“Ignore them, they are bored because they can't get pussy. Oh, shit, that is not what I am calling you.” He cringed and quickly backtracked. I know that is all I am to him, that doesn't surprise me.
“I know how it is.” I shrugged and he almost frowned at me.
“And how is it?” He asked, I chuckled lightly for even having to say this.
“I don't think you are prince charming, Roy.” His friends chuckled but he took my chin and turned my face toward him. It kind of made my stomach flutter.
“I am prince charming, darling.”
