Branna pumped her eyebrows at me, and it made me laugh and cough around the pizza that was in my mouth, making her crack up and slap her knee. I shook my head at her, still smiling as she whipped her eyes.
"Details Bee, I need details."
I groaned. "I gave him a… you know."
She only raised her eyebrows at me, and I hated her, because I knew she was going to make me say the word.
"A blow job," I blurted out then squeaked and covered my face.
It was weird knowing I've done something so intimate with Dominic, and I just told my sister about it!
"You dirty minx!" Branna teased playfully making me kick her leg, which she snorted at.
"He also… you know… went down on me too and he… put his fingers up there as well."
Branna widened her eyes. "Holy shite, the lad doesn't waste any time does he?"
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
She grinned. "He has been tryin' to get with you since he moved here. He must have envisioned doing dirty stuff with you for ages and can't hold back now that you're together."
I rolled my eyes. "Well, tough shite for him because I've set limits. I won't go any further than the stuff we have done already until I know in meself that I am ready. He won't pressure me either; he values his life and dick too much to do otherwise."
Branna burst out laughing, and her laughter made me laugh. We stopped when we heard a knock on the door. I instantly knew it wasn't the lads because Ryder had a key, and so did Dominic - he stole Ryder's and made a copy for himself.
I looked to Branna and shrugged. "I'll get it."
She continued to eat her pizza, but she watched me as I walked out to the hall until I disappeared out of her view. I opened the hall door and froze a little because of who was on the other side.
"Hey, Bronagh. Can I talk to you for a second?"
I cleared my throat and said, "Sure, Gavin. Come on in."
"Who is it?" Branna's voice called out from the sitting room.
I closed the door when Gavin stepped inside. "It's Gavin Collins, he wants to have a chat."
I smiled at Gavin then gestured towards the stairs and whispered, "We can go up to my room, she will only listen in if we stay down here."
Gavin chuckled under his breath making me snort. We headed upstairs then, with Branna's quizzical gaze on our backs until we were out of sight and safely inside my room.
"So… what's up?" I asked as I awkwardly walked towards my bed and sat on it, facing Gavin.
He sighed and ran his hands through his thick, wavy dirty blond locks and for a moment I found myself just staring at him. I know, I know, I was Dominic's girlfriend, but I was only human, and Gavin was hot. Anyone with eyes could see that so give me a break.
"I wanted to tell you I'm sorry, I was a complete fuckin' dickhead for bailin' on our date. I know things won't work out for us like a couple and that you're with Nico now, but I do want to be your mate. I've been feelin' like crap since that night and even worse when I saw your hand bandaged up at school."
I raised my eyebrows; I didn't know what I was expecting him to talk to me about, but an apology from him definitely wasn't it.
"Is it bad?" he asked, gesturing to my hand.
I looked down at my hand, looked back up and shook my head. "No, it's fine now, only a little stiff. The bruisin' on it has faded to yellow. After I get a check-up at the hospital next week, I can take the bandage off," I explained.
Gavin nodded at me then sighed as he stared. "You look good."
I blushed.
He smiled. "I'm not chattin' you up, I mean you just look… good," he said with a shrug.
I still continued to blush while he continued to smile.
I cleared my throat. "I'm not gonna lie, I did call you a few choice names in my head when you just left me last week in McDonald's but I do understand why. Dominic… he can be very persistent and overwhelmin' to deal with."
Gavin snorted as he came to sit next to me on my bed. "Understatement, Bee."
I smiled at him. "I forgive you, if that's what you need to hear. I don't hold grudges… unless you're Jason Bane. But since you aren't, no worries."
Gavin laughed and relaxed completely next to me. "I'll be thankin' God for small favours tonight before I go to bed."
I snorted, and it made Gavin cackle, which set me over the edge with laughter. I could not handle it when people cackle, it got me every time, and I had to laugh.
"I'll get goin', I just stopped by to get that off me chest. I hope we can be mates though? Like hangin' out and shite like that," Gavin said as turned his head to me.
I looked back at him and ignored the voice in my head that shouted 'no, we don't want any more change!' and gave Gavin a smile and said, "Yeah, I think a friend is just what I need."
Gavin beamed at me, and it made me feel shy; I actually had a beautiful lad as my friend and a complete stunner as my boyfriend… little me wasn't doing too badly for herself.
Gavin leaned in to hug me and I returned it. "I'll see you on Monday and-"
"No, Ryder, stop him!" Branna's voice suddenly screamed from downstairs.
Gavin and I pulled apart from our hug and turned to my door as footsteps pounded up the stairs.
"Oh, shite," Gavin breathed when the door was flung open.
I winced when it smacked out the wall, but full-on recoiled when I saw Dominic filling up the doorway, his face twisted in rage. I jumped out in front of Gavin and raised my hands up in surrender.
