Forever Love (5 page)

He opens the drivers side door and pulls the seat forward for me to get in, which I do carefully, holding the skirt of my dress down. I don’t wanna be showing anyone all my goods now, do I? The inside of the car is just as awesome as the outside with blue and gray leather seats. Its no fake leather shit either, you can feel the quality in them.

I gotta be honest, the car is a pleasant surprise. I was expecting some SUV like everyone else seems to be driving nowadays. It's nice to know he has a personality to go with those looks, because there's no way he can have a car like this and not have a personality to match.

Chapter 5

Noah

The minute she opened her bedroom door and I saw her, I knew that I was fucked. Man, I'm gonna be spending all night beating guys off with a fucking stick, or my fists. Brady, the dick, has been mooning over her all day. I've more than once had to remind him that he has a fucking girlfriend. A few threats to tell Cindy all about his little opinions and the fucker soon shut his pie hole. I don’t know the moment it happened, it might have been when she was giving that waitress sass, it might have been when she told me to fuck off when I told her to change, but it feels different.

I'm used to girls clinging to me at school, I rarely date, I don’t see the point. I'm a love em and leave em kinda guy and I'm much too young to be tied to some chick. This girl is something else though, she's like the whole package. She doesn’t agree with everything I say just because I shoot her a megawatt smile, she doesn’t trip over herself to please me. Her sass and smart mouth don’t irritate me like they would from someone else, if anything, they turn me the fuck on. And the look of awe that was on her face when she saw my car, that just sealed the deal. Usually girls don’t have a fucking clue or they pretend to care, pretend that they're interested in my car cause they think it will get them on my dick. I can tell a fake ass girl a mile away though, this girl's too real.

I don’t know what I'm gonna do tonight, with her looking like that. There isn't one blemish on her perfectly tanned skin. Her dress isnt slutty or anything but theres no way she isn't gonna be the center of attention at this party. Man, she could turn up in a sack and she'd still look a million bucks. This is a small town, we don’t get many new people here. There's only the one high school and we haven't had a newbie since fucking middle school, as soon as the guys see her they're gonna be all over her. There's also some real nasty pieces of work bitches, they'll take one look at Liv with her golden curls and bright turquoise eyes and they'll be ready to take her down. They all travel in packs as well, so she doesn’t stand a chance. It's not like I can claim her publicly, shit I've never even considered claiming a girl before, she's technically my step sister and until I know how I wanna play this thing I wanna keep my feelings to myself.

As I drive through the neighborhood to Tuckers party, I notice Brady giving me a knowing smirk. Guys been my best friend all my life, he probably knows me better than I know me but I'd never let him know that shit.

"So, is Cindy coming to the party?" That soon wipes the smirk off his face.

"Yeah, she's meeting us there."

I can see Liv in the rearview mirror playing on her phone and it’s the first time I've considered that she might have a boyfriend. Well, that's a sure fire way for me to wreck this car. I need to tread carefully with this but I need to know whether or not there's a guy out there I've somehow gotta get rid off. I'd never usually go after another guys girl but Liv is a different story altogether.

I get out the car, pulling my seat forward and holding my hand out to help Liv get out. She straightens herself out. I wait for her because I don’t want her to feel intimidated, plus she doesn’t know anyone else here. Brady the inconsiderate fuck has already gone, probably looking for his girl.

"Travers, who's the hottie?"

Chris Lyons, our wide receiver comes waltzing up to us, giving Liv the once over that has me balling my fists. I already hate the guy as it is, he's really not helping his case. Fucking idiot's gone and drawn attention to us, not that that wouldn’t have happened anyway with the way Liv looks but still.

He holds his hand out to her and I'm about ready to yank his arm off.

"Im Chris."

"Liv." Her tones clipped which goes some way in calming me down, I don’t know what I'd do if she was interested. I feel as if I'm losing my damn mind as it is. His eyes widen upon hearing her name.

"The stepsister, Brady mentioned you but he didn’t say you look like that." I'm gonna kill Brady, motherfucker.

Liv's standing next me so I can feel her tense up straight away. I've never been so attuned to somebody before, hell I've never been attuned to anybody ever.

"And what do I look like?"

"Well......um.......you're hot...." I nearly burst out laughing at Chris's stuttering, he obviously isn't used to girls answering him back.

She tsks, giving him an evil glare before walking round him, the girl definitely has attitude and I love it. Inside the party, there's hardly enough room to breathe. Fucking everyone In this damn town must be here without how jam packed this house is. I plaster Liv to my side, not wanting to lose her in here because there's a chance I might never find her.

We've come a bit later since Liv took her sweet time getting ready. Fuck knows what she was doing, she looked perfect beforehand if you ask me. I eye Brandy in the corner of the room and duck my head, I definitely don’t want to be seeing that bitch anytime soon. I grab Livs hand to keep ahold of her and it feels as if tiny electrical currents are running up my arm. I felt it when I touched her yesterday, shit was that only yesterday. Anyway, I thought it was a fluke then, some kind of static or something but it seems not. My stomachs spinning in circles and my dicks hardening with her this close to me. I can smell her perfume from here, smells sweet and flowery. It's subtle as well, most girls practically bathe in the stuff.

I pull Liv into the kitchen which is thankfully less crowded. Brady's standing in here sucking face with his girl and I pull Liv over to them. He detaches himself long enough to notice us standing there.

"What the hell took you so long? Was beginning to think you got lost."

"Who the fuck are all these people?"

"Fuck if I know, Tucker mentioned a few people were coming from the next town over."

Cindy unglues herself from Brady's side and gives me a look. I don’t know what the hell that’s about. She eyes my girl and it clicks. Wait, my girl? What the fuck?

"Oh shit, sorry. Cindy this is Liv, Liv this is Cindy, Brady's girlfriend. Though what the fuck she sees in this douche is anyones guess."

Brady slugs me in the arm as Cindy giggles. She's a nice girl and she's definitely a good match for Brady.

"Oh my god, I love your dress. Oh and you're fucking gorgous." Shes also a little over excitable.

"Um thanks, I like yours too." I've noticed that Liv gets a little uncomfortable around affection.

I figure Cindy would be a good friend for Liv to have seeing as though she's not a total bitch like ninety five percent of the female population in this town. Cindy grabs Livs hand and drags her away whispering all girly shit in her ear. Liv looks back and gives me a helpless look that nearly has me laughing, though I keep an eye on where they're going. I need to keep an eye out incase some jackass pushes his luck.

"Welcome to the club dude." Brady gives me slap on the back.

"What the fuck you talking about?"

"You, you’ve known the chick a day and your all googly eyed and shit."

"Don’t be a fucktard."

"Hey I don’t blame you, she's definitely a looker. What I don’t get is why you haven't put the moves on her already."

"She's my stepsister dickface. Can you imagine the shit that would go down?"

"You're not related, you've only just met and we leave for college in a years time. Are you seriously telling me that your gonna be able to control yourself living in the same house as her for a year? I mean, I've never seen you like this, you haven't took your eyes off of her. Has anything happened between you two? Cause I can't see you not even flirting with her."

"Sure we've flirted. I offered to help her put her panties away." Brady bursts out laughing as I notice Liv and Cindy going into the backyard. "There may have been a little flirting in the hallway when I came out of my shower and I did see her in her towel yesterday before dinn-"

"Wait there, hold up a sec. You saw her naked?"

"No, she was in a towel."

"That’s practically naked dude."

I roll my eyes, doesn’t matter that he's in a relationship, guy still has a one track mind. I notice some of the guys from the team coming through the kitchen to the back door, lead by Chris.

"I'm telling you guys, she is fucking hot as fuck." What the fuck? Is this some kind of fucking show or something?

I give Brady a look, the one that says shit may be about to go down. We've perfected it over the years, with how many times we've had to knock some assholes into line. 

As we make our way outside I look around for any sign of Liv and Cindy. They're sitting on some chairs that are just past the patio. They seem to have formed an instant friendship as they laugh together. I watch as the guys make their way over to them, holding back because I don’t want to jump the gun and embarrass Liv. I have a feeling that if I do that I'm never gonna hear the end of it. I must admit, I'm also a little curious how she handles herself with these guys. They certainly won't be the last and I wont always be around. The minute they step outta line though, I'm gonna be over there like a shot. I hold Brady back and watch from the sidelines. I know Brady's itching to get over there since his girl is there too but I don’t wanna go starting fights with half my teammates if it's not needed.

I watch as Chris starts talking to the girls while leaning against the nearby tree. Neither girl looks impressed by whatever the douche is saying. I realize how flawed my plan is considering I can't even hear what's being said. Just as I begin to make my way over there, the asshole puts his arm around Liv, pulling her towards him. As I reach them and begin to hear what's going on, my blood starts to boil.

"Listen, i definitely think me and you should go somewhere less busy, get some alone time. You have no idea the shit I'd do to you." As Chris is talking, Liv looks completely calm, though her balled up fists are a giveaway that she's anything but.

I'm just about to step in and knock the creep on his ass when Liv pulls out of his arms and knees him right in the weiner. The dude goes down like a sack of potatoes, his face scrunched up.

"Touch me again fucker and I'll fucking cut your little pin dick right off." Man, my girl's got fire and its hot as fuck.

Chris slowly lifts himself up, cradling what I'm sure are bruised balls. The color drains from his face when he notices me and Brady striding towards him.

"The chicks crazy dude. I didn’t even-" He doesn’t get a chance to finish his sentence since he's too busy falling back on his ass after my fist smashes into his face.

"Don’t fucking touch her again. Don’t talk to her, don’t look at her, don’t even fucking breathe near her or I swear I'll make your kick to the balls seem like fucking play time."

At this point, we have quite the audience around us, nosy fuckers. Brady grabs Cindy and Liv pulling them back and taking up a protective stance in front of them. Some of the jackass' friends try to peel him off the floor. I turn to Brady and the girls.

"Come on, lets get outta here."

Everyone nods their agreement as we make our way towards the side gate. Tucker comes striding out of the house, obviously hearing that shit just went down.

"Travers, what the fucks going on man?"

"Ask Chris, by the way bro, next time you invite me to a party make sure the douche nozzle isnt here. If I gotta hand his ass to him on a plate again, I'm gonna make that shit permanent."

"No probs man, I'll throw him out with the rest of the trash. Fuck knows who all these fucking people are." He says as he makes his way over to the slowly dispersing crowd.

We make our way to the front of the house, Brady, deciding he's gonna go get some with his girl, leaves me and Liv alone. I open the passenger door for her as she climbs in before going round to the drivers side. She's quiet as I start the car and a feeling of guilt washes over me. I should never have fucking stood there, I should have told the fucker to fuck off as soon as I saw him go near her.

"Listen, I'm really sorry about tonight."

"It's ok, wasn’t your fault. Why'd you hit him? I'd already dealt with it."

"Cause he shouldn’t be touching you." Just the thought of him with his hands on her, hell, anyone with their hands on her has me gripping the steering wheel hard.

She nods then goes silent again. She's so damn expressive most of the time, when she's angry or irritated, then there are other times like now when I wish I knew what she was thinking.

"You ready to go home? We could do something else."

"Like what?" She looks at me suspiciously as I wrack my brain for something else for us to do.

"I know just the thing." I shoot her a smile which she returns. She's got such a beautiful smile and in that moment I vow that I'll do anything to see it more often.

It’s a half hour drive to where I want to take Liv. I don’t know why I want to take her to that place apart from the fact its special to me. I pull onto the familiar dirt road that has me wondering if my cars gonna survive this journey unscathed. It's been so long since I've been here, I have no idea if it's even the same.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I see the old tatty gate at the end of the road, hanging from its hinges like it's always been. I pull to a stop in front of it and look towards a frowning Liv.
