forward and pulls me into a hug.
“ I’m Brad” he
says as if wrapping his arms around someone before he tells them
his name is normal.
“ Brooke” I
reply when he lets me go and takes a step back.
“ Hmmm … can I
have your number?” he asks me seriously.
“ It’s really
nothing personal it’s just that your ... you know, male” I sigh as
I watch him consider my words.
“ Oh, you mean
you …”
“ I like girls”
I confirm.
He watches me
suspiciously, and shakes his head to let me know he doesn’t believe
me. I turn to Sophie and raise an eyebrow at her.
“ You know you
probably don’t want to stay in the dorm tonight after all this,
don’t you” she mutters to me gesturing to Matt with her head I
smile sweetly at her as if I have no idea what she’s talking about
and pull her head towards mine and lean in for the
kiss , before I have time to
pull away her tongue is sliding against mine, she lets out a little
moan and then I hear Matt groan behind me and catch on straight
away and play it up a bit, when we break apart after another minute
I notice all the guys are visibly swallowing and clearing their
throats.
“ Guess I need
to find a room to spend the night in” defeated I quickly run
through my options in my head.
“ You can stay
in my room tonight, my roommates gone home for a few days” Brad
offers.
“ That won’t be
necessary, Brookes coming home for the night”
If Sophie
wasn’t sending him open glares that promise death I never would
have believed that my step dad had just approached us.
“ What are you
doing here?” trying to keep my voice strong as I smile up at
him.
“ Your mom got
worried when you didn’t visit last weekend, asked me to come and
see you were ok ay”
“ Oh” is all I
can reply not sure what he expects me to say really.
“ I’ll just go
get us a drink”
“ Umm …
actually I have one”
“ I insist” he
says tightly, his gaze clearly daring me to challenge
him.
“ You’re not
actually going to drink anything he gives you, right?” Sophie
whispers in my ear as we watch him make his way through the crowds
to the bar.
“ What do you
suppose I do? You know he’s going to be watching me like a hawk to
make sure I drink it”
“ He creeps me
out”
“ How am I
going to get out of this?” I ask, keeping an eye on the bar and downing the drink Tucker
bought me.
“ Matt, is your
room empty tonight?” Sophie calls to him.
“ Uhh ... yeah”
he calls back turning from his conversation from Luke.
“ All we have
to do is figure out how to get you out of here now”
“ Give me an
hour so he doesn’t suspect anything and then distract him so I can
leave without him following me”
“ If you’re
sure” she asks dubiously.
I only nod to
her as my step dad returns to us handing me a drink.
“ Thanks”
“ I believe you
owe me a dance” Tucker interrupts us.
“ We’re having
a drink” Sam informs him not bothering to hide his
irritation.
“ You never
mention a boyfriend” he accuses me.
“ We’re just
friends” I smile up at him to distract him from glaring at
Tucker.
“ Well?” Tucker
asks watching us
“ Sure” I reply
then down my drink in three swallows trying not to think about
whatever he put in it, then putting the glass down I take his hand
and we head into the crowd of already dancing people.
“ Who’s the
guy?” Tucker asks as he puts my hands behind his neck and his own
rest on my hips.
“ That’s
Sam , my step dad”
“ Seems like a
happy bloke” he notes
“ Yeah, he’s
just a big barrel of laughs”
“ So it took
you longer than I thought it would to stop hiding behind those
awful clothes” he smirks down at me taking me surprise I must
admit.
“ You knew?” I
ask trying and failing to keep the surprise from my
voice.
“ Please, give
me some credit” he rolls his
eyes at me.
“ What gave me
away?”
“ Well for
starters, your neck is small, your wrists are tiny, and
“ I’m Brad” he
says as if wrapping his arms around someone before he tells them
his name is normal.

reply when he lets me go and takes a step back.
