Off Limits, Brother's Best Friend Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Are You Trouble?

Brianna

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” My voice came out breathy as affected, leaning down just a bit more, Callan's breath tricked the shell of my ear when he whispered.

“Depends who is bringing the trouble.” He said and my inside clenched and I tried to hide the effects he had on me but to no avail and without thinking, I spoke.

“Are you trouble?”

He released my arm and moved his neck so his head could pull back enough for him to check out my legs and body from where we stood side by side but facing the opposite direction.

“You have no idea.” He said and my eyes shut for a moment while I processed his thick words. His words were thick with lust, I swallowed hard and regained my composure before speaking.

“Goodnight, Callan.” I quickly headed for the door.

I needed to step away, I was on fire even those few words helped so much insinuation that my body reacted to him instantly. What would it be like for him to throw me up against a wall and lift this dress up? Outside, Zaveri was waiting for me by leaning against the hood in a white button down and jeans. He looked good and I can tell he used some products to comb his hair back to keep the longer strands intact.

“Ready?” He asked and I gave him an okay look.

“Did I look alight for where we were going?” I asked, he opened the car door for me and waited for me to slide in before he closed the door and came around the other side.

“Absolutely,” he said and that calmed my self-conscious disposition.

“Are the girls meeting us there? Where is your friend?” I asked.

“The girls take forever to get ready, so yes, they will meet us there and my buddy is on his way there too. So are you ready?” His eyes checked me out one more time while he awaited my response. And when I told him I was, he pulled away from the curb and headed towards the main road.

The place we ended up looking pretty classy and it was funny because all four of them were heavily tattooed but in nice clothing to counter their appearance. Not that people with tattoos can't be classy, it was just something I noticed they get a lot of attention. The girls were done up in corset like dresses where the top was tighter and laced up the way a corset would be. And that brought their chests to attention, their makeups were immaculate, so I felt good when they said mine looked the same. Zaveri's friend kept checking me out even when the group of us were all in conversation but I took it as a compliment. I always feel inferior in a room but his undivided attention helped with that. He wasn't my type though but he wasn't hideous either. After two drinks, we decided to go somewhere else with more music and movement. It was just down the street, we walked down.

Instantly, the atmosphere was alive. They played a mix of dance music and there was a dance floor towards the back of the place. The front portion had the long bar and a few tables scattered around where people drank and the guys hung back but watched us dance. Josephine had these wispy lashes so when she batted them at any man, they seemed to flock her. With makeup on, you couldn't see her cute freckles but it played up a sexier look. I like her a lot. We danced on each other a little bit but once we got thirsty, we went back to the others. I was having a lot of fun with them and eventually was feeling a little tipsy. I should be ashamed to dance with the guy who was technically my boss but that was not really the dynamic they use at Bizzyaski Ink. They were all super chill so when we all went to dance, Zaveri asked if I wanted to dance with him and I said yes.

We weren't overly provocative, I did sway my hips and his hand was on one of them but I wasn't grinding on him. His friend seemed bummed he didn't ask me first but I would have rather danced with Zaveri, he is more cute. Since it was Port Harcourt, these clubs don't close until the late hours of morning. We all have work tomorrow though so I doubt we will stay as long. The shop doesn't open until noon so I think we will be alright. Zaveri kept his hands on my hips and moved in unison with me.

“I know it is entirely unprofessional of me but you look super hot tonight, Brianna.” He whispered into my ear and chuckled at his own confession. I smiled and ran my hands down his arms.

“Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself.” I muttered, he spun me around and used that hold on me to bring me closer to him.

Since I was facing away from him, I could feel his chest touching my upper back from time to time but he didn't push his luck by pressing his groin on me. When I spun again, I was facing him and we kept glancing at each other while we moved. His hands grazed around me to my lower back and brushed my ass but again, he didn't press his luck. We just enjoyed the dancing.

“Guys, my feet are killing me. We are going to sit!” Sandra yelled so we could hear her.

We nodded and I asked Zaveri if he wanted to head there with them. He actually hesitated for a second like maybe he wanted to continue dancing but ultimately agreed. I am used to wearing heels so they don't bother me as much. Of course, after a night of dancing, anyone's feet hurt. I sat between Josephine and Zaveri and got into a conversation, though the details are a little fuzzy but I remembered laughing a lot with her.

Zaveri draped his arms behind me since we were sitting on a bench style setting along the back walls where plenty of others. It was packed in here on weekends and he would talk to me, I would turn in my seat which put me closer to him with his arms that way. I think he was flirting a little bit with me tonight, it was all in good fun. By two in the morning, we agreed we should head back home. Zaveri ended up a little drunk so his friend drove us all home. I guess he switched to water a while ago, I hadn't noticed. I was the first to be dropped off so after all the goodbyes, I went into my building. If my brother was home then I would be quiet. I hope he didn't bring a girl with him, I don't want to hear anything nasty.

When I walked inside, everything was quiet. I grabbed water and went into my room and kicked off my heels instantly. I decided to take a quick shower before bed since I had been sweating and I have a face full of makeup. Besides, the warm water will be helpful to put me to sleep.

I don't know why it crossed my mind when I placed my dress over the upholstery bench inside my walk-in closet but I thought of Callan's words to me earlier.
