“Yes, yes, I did.”Vinnie laughs.
I smack his ass as he finally steps foot in my bedroom.“Do not come out.Do you understand?”
“So, what do I do?”He looks around my super girlie bedroom that looks like a unicorn threw up all over it.
“Just relax.Lie down.Take a nap.I don’t care.Just don’t come out.”
Vinnie laughs as he sits down on the edge of my bed, naked and holding his pants.“I’m sure I can keep myself busy in here.”
I don’t have time to think about all the sexy things in my drawers or the fact that the hot-ass pro baller is in my bedroom, naked and waiting.I close the bedroom door and run through the living room, stubbing my toe on the coffee table.
I screech in pain and grab my foot, bouncing on the other foot as I make it to the door.“This better be good,” I say as I open the door to Luis and a woman I’ve never seen before.
“Hey, sis.”Luis smiles.“This is Karen.”
Karen looks like every other floozy he’s ever been with.Teased hair, tits hanging out, red lipstick, and nothing but trouble.That’s my brother’s type.It’s entirely okay for him to whore himself around, but God forbid, I actually want to be with a man, and my brother completely overreacts.
“Hey, Karen.”I plaster on a fake smile and somehow resist the urge to punch Luis in the face.
Karen giggles and pops her gum.“Hi.I’m such a huge fan.”
The urge to roll my eyes is almost overwhelming, but I hold my shit together.“Oh.Thank you so much.That’s really kind of you.”
I’m thankful for every reader and fan, but right now, the last thing I want to do is chitchat about my writing with my brother’s flavor of the night while Vinnie’s come dries between my fingers.
Luis walks by me with Karen under his arm and enters my apartment without an invitation.“Do you have company?”he asks, turning to face me.
I shake my head.“I was just really hungry.It’s my Netflix and chill night.”
Luis’s eyebrows draw downward.“Your what?”
“I order food and binge television.”
“Bianca, you’re too young to sit at home and watch television on a Friday night.Live a little already.”
I cross my arms over my chest and cock my head.“I am living.I like my life.Are you here to shit on it, or did you come here for a reason?”
“I wanted to invite you out with us tonight.We’re going to the new club down the street.Figured I’d stop in and ask if you’d like to join us.”
“Sweetheart,” Karen says, sliding her arm around his middle.“I have to use the little girls’ room.”
Luis ticks his head backward.“Down the hall,” he says to her.She giggles as Luis pinches her ass.“Go ahead, doll.”
I glare at my brother as Karen heads toward the bathroom.“I can’t believe you just dropped by like this with some girl.”
“She’s notsomegirl.She’s Karen.”Luis runs his fingers through his dark, floppy hair.“Isn’t she great?”
“Oh yeah.She’s perfect,” I say sarcastically.
Karen screams and Luis turns.My eyes follow the noise, seeing Karen standing in the doorway to my bedroom with her eyes practically coming out of her head like an old cartoon.
“Who are you?”she asks.
“Hey,” Vinnie says, and I know shit’s about to go down.
I glance at my brother, who’s staring at me so hard, I’m shocked death rays aren’t flying out of his eye sockets.“Company?”
“Just a friend.”
