It was finally the first day of summer , officially . I couldn 't wait for the dang school bell to ring yesterday . Everyone in my Chemistry class must have been staring at the large black and white clock at the front of the classroom . As the second hand made its way to the twelve , I gently grabbed my bag off the floor and wrapped it around my shoulder . The halls were crowded as my peers ran around like maniacs . Papers were flying around in the air , like kids had just tossed them as they exited the halls . It was funny how on the last day of school the halls became empty within seconds . I however , lingered through them , knowing I wouldn 't be returning . I had doubled up on classes and spent the last two summers enrolled with the misfit kids who couldn 't pass during the normal school year , just to be able to graduate a year earlier . My birthday was late in the year causing me to have to be a year behind all of my friends . It wasn 't that I loved school , because I hated it , in fact all I wanted was to never have a homework assignment again . What pushed me to the decision was my parents . They used to have such a great relationship , but two years ago my father decided to start banging his secretary . Shortly after , he decided that even she wasn 't enough for him . Now the bastard was entertaining the notion of remarrying again . The woman was just five years older than me , and to make matters worse , he didn 't see that there was anything wrong with his actions . When my parents first separated , my father moved all the way to Pennsylvania , to start over . He left my mother with a steep mortgage she couldn 't afford and eventually we had to move in with my grandparents . According to my mother , which was usually not a good source of information , he hadn 't even paid child support for nearly a year now . My dad had worked in Real Estate and always seemed to move somewhere new when the market went dry . To my astonishment he called me last month to inform me that he and Buffy , were moving back to Virginia . I never realized how much I missed having my father around until he called to say he was moving home . My mother wasn 't thrilled , but even through her animosity toward him , she seemed happy he wanted to make another go at having a relationship with me . All of my friends had dads that did everything with them , while I was the girl whose dad abandoned her for women close to her own age . I looked around my room and wondered what I would wear to go see my father after nearly a year of him being absent in my life . Would he care what I wore ? Did I need to make a good impression around his new girl - toy ? I was overwhelmed with anxiety over this morning 's brunch with him . Finally , after a few hours , and an empty closet , I decided on a light blue sun dress . It made my olive skin pop and my blue eyes shine . I was going to curl my entire head , but noticed the clock and settled to throw my light brown hair up in a subtle pony tail with a blue bow that matched my dress . I had to smile when I took one final look in the mirror . For someone that had a diploma , I 'd managed to make myself look about twelve years old . My mother reluctantly handed me the directions to my father 's new house . She gave me a million eye rolls before kissing me goodbye . I could tell she hated the idea of him being happy , and I had to admit I hated it too . When I pulled into the community I noticed how large the houses had gotten . Long private driveways separated every yard . I took a double take when I looked at the address my mother had written down . When I saw the matching numbers on a stone pillar leading down a matching stone driveway I figured it had to be wrong . My little Volkswagen Jetta putted its way down the driveway until I came to a stop behind a Land Rover SUV . The house had a stone front and ivy was growing up either of its sides . The windows and doors were trimmed in large white wood with black shutters . I stepped out of the car and made sure the wind wasn 't blowing my dress up above my ass , before making my way toward the door . It unexpectantly flew open and a young girl who resembled a plastic Barbie doll came walking toward me . She was wearing a form fitting dress that could have been made from only spandex . It was bright pink with giant yellow flowers scattered over it . Her platinum blonde hair was curled as if she were going to model in the next issue of playboy , in fact , she kinda looked like Kendra , one of the ex - playmate girlfriends of Hugh Hefner himself . " Ohhh yay ! I 'm so glad you 're here . " The Barbie doll squeaked . " Come here , let me get a good look at you . " I stood like a statue while this large breasted bimbo tugged and pinched every part of me that I had assumed was a private place . When I finally thought she was finished , I started to move forward . That is when she reached over and grabbed both of my breasts . " Oh sweetie you should know I am just joking . Come on in . Your father is going to be so happy you are finally here . He has been talking about you non - stop . " Before I could say yes , or even Hell no , she grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into the house . She never let go of my arm as she pulled me through the large foyer and into a family room . My father was sitting in a leather recliner watching a golf match on television . He never even turned in our direction , even with the volume level of his Barbie up higher than my radio played . " Baby , look who I found outside . " She said as she let go of me and bounced herself onto his lap . Before he could even turn in my direction , she was slapping him with a kiss that may or may not of contained her entire tongue . " Well look at my little girl , all grown up . " He took my hands into his and gave me a once over . " You look very pretty honey . It has been so long . " He leaned over to kiss me on the forehead . " I see you have met Buffy already ? Isn 't she is keeper ? " He said while gazing back at her . " Why don 't you come on in and make yourself at home . We haven 't had time to furnish the whole house yet , but the kitchen is stocked and Buffy has made a nice spread for us to munch on . " He announced . Buffy grabbed my arm and pulled me through the house again . She took me upstairs and showed me the four large bedrooms , which each housed their own bathroom . Two of the upstairs bedrooms looked out into the backyard . I saw the pool and fell in love instantly with it , before Buffy pulled me along to show off more of she and my father 's house . When we finally had made it down to the kitchen , the food was ready to eat . " We have to take a break from the tour for a bit so we can eat before all of this food gets cold . Do you like fresh tea ? " She asked . " Great . Here , you sit yourself down over there and we will join you . " Buffy pointed in the direction of the morning room . It faced the pool , which I couldn 't take my eyes off of . My grandparent 's house was small , to say the least . They never expected to have my mom and I move in when my mom lost the house . A small den had been converted into a bedroom for me , but it didn 't even have a real closet . I had to use one we bought at a store that took up half the room . Brunch tasted fantastic , but my father barely spoke . He left the conversation up to his new squeeze . She tried to talk to me about fashion , music and finally television , claiming her favorite show was that horrible show on MTV called Teen Mom . She made a point to mention how young my mother had been when she got pregnant with me . I thought I was going to choke on a piece of French toast as she confessed to that . My father seemed mesmerized with everything that came out of her mouth . " So tell me Hope , what is there to do is this town . Your father and I need to get out there and meet some people . We have this big house and nobody to entertain . " Buffy stated . I cleared my throat and looked directly at my father , hoping in some way he could read my mind and snap out of whatever spell he was in . " Do you know of any bars or clubs that Buff and I could go dancing ? " He asked . " I don 't really know of any clubs or bars Dad . They really aren 't my thing , and besides I am only seventeen . I am not even allowed to enter into any of those type of establishments until I am twenty one . " I confessed . I caught my father watching Buffy as she leaned over to clear his plate from the table . The bile began to surface in my mouth and I needed some air . " Do you mind if I check out the back yard ? " I asked . The pool yard was landscaped with tall grasses and lots of unique rocks . Several lounge chairs sat around the pool , and the entire vicinity was privacy fenced in . Attached to the far end of the pool was a building . Since my father had given me the go - ahead to look around , I took it upon myself to venture inside . Assuming that it was just a pool house , I barged in the door . It was hard for me to believe that in the last year I had ruined my life and possibly my future . My full ride to Penn State University had been revoked . If my mother were still alive she would be kicking my ass , still after six months . What happened was a horrible tragedy and the dean of schools did what he had to do . In one night I had managed to destroy everything I had worked so hard for . Now I lived with my sister , in a pool house in her back yard at that . We were always close and she never questioned me when I had confessed what happened that night . I couldn 't lie about something like that , but making someone believe me wasn 't that easy . Not when it was on every television station and in every newspaper . I hadn 't held a hammer since high school , but thankfully it ended up being like riding a bike . After a few days work , I got the hang of things . Plus working by myself gave me a lot of time to think about the mistakes I had made to get me to this very predicament I was in . My friends had all but disowned me , insisting that they couldn 't be friends with someone like me . Someone that could do such heinous things and get away with it for so long . It hurt so much . In the long run , I guess they were never really my friends . If they were , then they would have known I wasn 't capable of those things . Even my girlfriend , who I had dated since my freshman year at college dumped me , claiming the pressure of being involved with me was too much and yada yada . The truth was that her parents forbid her from having anything to do with me . They had the nerve to call me a street thug , and a common criminal on several attempts I had made to contact her at their place of residence . She had finally written me a letter asking me to never contact her again , or they would be forced to get a restraining order against me . Her father had warned about the same plan that day as well . For the first few months after the trial , I secluded myself in my sister 's apartment . It was over top of the bar that she danced at , so after work she would bring bottles of liquor to bury the pain with . It was the only real time I was able to sleep while still living in Pennsylvania . After she met Mark Ryan things changed . She stopped working at the bar , and soon spent all of her time with him . Within six months they were shacked up and planning on the big move to Virginia . Because of them , I was given a fresh start here in a new state . Eventually , maybe I could make new friends and have a future that my mother would have been proud of , instead of the one that had put her in an early grave . For the past two weeks I had been working on the inside of the house . It had been vacant for almost a year and Mr . Ryan got it as a foreclosure . He said it was a steal , but I just took his word for it . Anything over five grand was too expensive for me . I had blown my mother 's entire life insurance on lawyers , trying to keep myself out of jail . I hated that . The fact that my mother had worked so hard for us to be independent and successful and never hurt for anything , made me feel like such a failure . But , I was trying to make things work . I got the most important rooms in a livable shape , and even got the cabinets installed in the kitchen before the granite countertops were delivered . There was still so much to do , but I didn 't have a deadline , which was good since most of what I was doing was foreign to me . I found myself looking up how - to sites before I started a new project . It was a good thing that the internet had evolved into a place where you could learn how to do anything . I had planned on fixing some shingles that were missing on the roof today , but my sister and Mr . Ryan asked me to take the day off . They claimed that they had someone " very special " coming over and that they didn 't want to be disturbed with the sound of the hammer slamming against the roof . It was fine . I never really relaxed on the weekends . Sitting in the small pool house just made me think of what my life could have been . On most nights I would drink myself to a drunken stupor and eventually pass out . My sister feared that one night I was going to get so drunk I would fall in the pool and die . Even though I had the day off , I still woke up at the crack of dawn . I weeded the front garden next to the driveway and painted the mailbox . While I had the can of paint out , I decided to touch up the white parts of the fence around the pool . The sun was hot , even early this morning , and I found myself sweating profusely as I finished touching up the fence . I sat myself down on a lounge chair and soaked up the rays , telling myself it was too early to crack open a beer . I had to wait until twelve at least that is what everyone says . When I felt like my balls were literally sticking to the side of my legs , I decided to grab a pair of swimming trunks and jump in the pool . Even if the company was already here , I wouldn 't be bothering them . I avoided jumping in and causing big splash sounds . Instead , I just floated around the pool for a while in pure silence . When my hands started to prune up , I climbed out of the pool . Realizing all of the towels were in the pool house , or main house , I hurried to get inside . The morning breeze was still cool , even with the sun shining down . I made it into the pool house within seconds and immediately started to strip out of my wet bathing suit . " What the Hell ? Who are you and what are you doing in here ? " I yelled while trying to cover myself in the front , but it was obvious she had already seen everything I had . She threw her hands over her face . " Oh my God , I am so sorry ! I didn 't know somebody was in here . My father said I could look wherever I wanted . Seriously I had no idea . " She turned her entire body around even though her hands were already covering her face . I grabbed a dry pair of boxers off the couch and slipped them on . " You can turn around now , I 'm decent . " " And why are you in my father 's pool house ? Does he know you are in here or do I need to call the cops ? " She threatened . The last thing I needed was trouble with the law my first month here . " No , no ! I am Buffy 's brother . I am doing work for Mr . Ryan . I didn 't know he had a daughter . " I was ready to tell her to get out , but there was something about her that made me feel sorry for her . " Why don 't you come sit down for a minute . I 'm sure after seeing my bare ass you could use a drink . So what will it be ? " I gave her a half smile and headed to the tiny kitchen area . I was pretty sure that the people who lived here before rented out this pool house . It had one bedroom , a kitchen , a small bathroom and a living room , but it was perfect for me . It wasn 't like I entertained , or even had friends at all . " My name is Hope , Hope Ryan . " She said as she took the bottle of water . " Thanks for this . I didn 't know if I could handle the bourbon after the breakfast I just had . " " No offense , but your sister isn 't much older than me . I guess I just wasn 't prepared ya know ? " She said as she opened the bottle of water and drank half of it down . I had managed to pour myself half a glass of bourbon and had already taken two sips . The ice clattered in the bottom of the glass , and I swiveled it around with my hand . " Nah , it 's cool . My sister can be hard to understand at first . She has a good heart though . " " Didn 't anyone ever tell you it wasn 't nice to start something and not finish it . " She looked up at me . Her eyes were like crystals and they glowed against her dark complexion . Summer had just started , but she was already tan . Her hair had streaks of different browns , but it didn 't look like it came from a box , it appeared to be natural highlights . She was strikingly beautiful . I wanted to defend my sister , but something about this girl made me feel like she was just trying to break the ice . I hadn 't had a friend in so long that I couldn 't be an asshole ; I needed this . " I never noticed . She likes lots of colors . So , what colors do you like ? " I was halfway into a large gulp of bourbon when the word " tits " came out of her pretty little mouth . The liquor went flying everywhere . Once I stopped gagging from the utter shock , I turned back to face her . She had stood up from the couch and had her hands on her hips . " Look , I am really sorry that I barged in on you getting changed . Had I been told that someone was living out here I never would have bothered you . It was nice meeting you Chance . Have a nice life . " She said as she walked out of the pool house . After I had come barging back into the main house from my unexpected meeting with Chance , all I wanted to do was go home . My father was back in his recliner watching golf again , while Buffy filed her nails with her feet draped over the end of the couch . I had to laugh at that . My father and mother used to yell at me over and over for sitting like that on a couch . How could he have changed so much ? And why hadn 't he come looking for me after brunch was cleaned up ? My father turned and gave me a smile , while Buffy came racing over , planting a big hug on me . I patted her a few times on the back and pulled out of her embrace . " Thanks for brunch . It was nice meeting you . " As soon as I made it out of the driveway I began to cry . I couldn 't have held back the tears even if I wanted to . At one point I had to pull over to the side of the road , because I couldn 't see through the tears that had filled my eyes . I couldn 't understand why he had even moved back here . Was I just dreaming or had that really been the catastrophe that I saw it as ? While I sat on the side of the road I felt my stomach knotting up . In just enough time , I managed to unbuckle my seat belt , get out and run to the side of the road , where I vomited all of the food I had eaten . I leaned against my car , trying to gain some composure and make sure I was completely finished vomiting . All of the time I had wished I had my father back into my life , and when I got him it was nothing like I pictured it would be . I wanted to crawl into a hole and die . There was no way I could drive home like this and explain what happened to my mother . She hated the guy . She would go out and buy a gun and then later be on the news for murdering him . I had to get myself calmed down first . It was my only option . While still trying to feel better , I noticed a truck pulling to the side of the road . A male driver got out and began to approach me . I always carried pepper spray on my key ring , but it was still stuck in the ignition of the car . My heart started to beat faster and I could feel myself beginning to panic . I wasn 't on a heavy driven road , in fact while I was puking there had been no cars that passed going in either direction . The man 's voice startled me , signaling he had approached me at a faster rate than I expected . " Are you okay miss ? Do you need some help ? " He wore a baseball cap that covered his face , but I noticed the long scar across his cheek . I 'm not usually one to stereotype , but he gave me the creeps like he was straight out of a horror movie . He got about a foot away from me and reached for my arm . " Did you hear me miss ? I can take you wherever you want to go . Why don 't you come get in my truck ? " He suggested . The man had managed to pull me about four feet away from my car before a motorcycle came driving down the road toward us . At first I feared they would keep going , but the driver skidded in between our cars and immediately got his bike into a sitting position . The strange man had released his hold on me as the next person approached . The man backed away from him , assuming he must have known me . When the creepy man finally pulled away I realized I was on the side of the road alone with yet another stranger . I finally came to my senses and began to make a dash for my car , until he grabbed the back of my dress and pulled me close to him . I couldn 't see his face , and after losing all of the fluids in my body , I found myself lightheaded from the fear and anxiety . Then I felt myself fall . After my encounter with Mr . Ryan 's daughter , I needed a pack of cigarettes . I decided to hop on my bike and head to the nearest convenience store . When I got about three miles from the house I spotted two vehicles pulled over on the side of the road , and one of the cars happened to be the same one that had been in my driveway just a half hour ago . As I got closer I noticed that a man had his hands on her and I didn 't even think . My bike came to a halt and I immediately approached Hope and the stranger . When the stranger left without incident I knew I had come at just the right moment . He was probably wanted for some type of crime and didn 't want to get involved with the police . I knew how that felt . When Hope collapsed in my arms I thought about taking her back to her father 's , but when I carried her to the passenger side of the car , I noticed the vomit in the grass . When she darted out of the pool house I assumed she was frustrated and upset , but seeing that she was sick to her stomach confirmed she was having a difficult time with things . I managed to get her reclined in the passenger seat and decided to wait it out in the driver 's seat . There was no way I was leaving her here all alone on this strip of the highway , and I wasn 't about to leave my bike either . It was the only thing I had in my name . I found a good station on the radio and turned the air on to blow on Hope 's skin . I couldn 't believe I had gotten myself into this situation . My head found a semi comfortable position on the steering wheel as I stared at the girl beside me . Her arms were covered in goose bumps from the cool air , and her hair was blowing in small strands across her face . Her breathing had calmed and her cleavage protruded from the low cut sundress . I hadn 't been this close to another girl other than my sister in a very long time , and it made me feel uncomfortable . I was an adult and I had no idea how old this girl was sitting next to me . I assumed she was close to my sister 's age , but the bow in her hair made her look like a teenager . The last thing I needed was for someone to get the wrong idea about why we were in this car alone on the side of the road . She woke up and began screaming , not realizing where she was or what was going on . I held my hands up and placed them on the ceiling of the car . " Whoa , wait a minute . You were approached by a stranger and I stopped and got him to leave . I swear Hope . " " You passed out in my arms . All I did was carry you to the car . I couldn 't leave you alone so I stayed to make sure you were alright . " I explained . It felt like she kicked me in the balls . I didn 't want to be accused of hurting another person again . I put my head down and frowned . " I promise you that I would never do that . If you are okay , I think it would be best if I got going . " " If you hadn 't come , I don 't know what would have happened today . You may have saved my life . " She said while still holding on to my arm . I grabbed her fingers and removed her hold on me . " I don 't know about saving lives , but I am glad you 're safe Hope . I guess maybe I will see you around . " I said as I climbed out of the car and grabbed my helmet . When I climbed onto my bike and fastened my helmet I noticed Hope climbing over the seat to get to the driver 's side . She started her car and readjusted her mirror . I saw her looking at me , but chose to ignore it . Maybe it was just a coincidence , or perhaps she was just thankful for me being there at the right time . It would have been a shame if something happened to her on her way home from such a bad morning already . After a while I couldn 't take it anymore and locked myself in my room . The last thing I wanted to do was talk about the great morning that I didn 't have with my father . All of her other questions were completely irrelevant anyway . Once inside the confines of my room , I inserted my ear buds and cranked up my music . My body plopped down on the bed and I stared at the ceiling . My day had started out bad and eventually turned to shit . Within a matter of hours I was certain it had become one of the worst days of my life . The only thing that made the day more bearable was meeting Chance Avery . I would have liked to have been formally introduced to him with his clothes on , but seeing his naked backside left me with good visuals to focus on in my time of depression . He seemed so muscular and I was certain he must be athletic . When he had finally turned around and showed his face , I was amazed how handsome he was . A part of me just assumed that getting a peek at what I saw would result in a total mess of a face , but instead his dark eyes accented his dark hair . When he smiled , behind that glass of liquor , I got a look at how white and perfect his teeth were . His smile could melt a girl 's heart . I felt so bad about how I had acted around him . I had no idea what had gotten in to me . The way I talked about his sister was uncalled for . How could he have sat there and listened to me making fun of her like that ? Clearly he had a lot more patience than I . He must have pegged me as such a spoiled little brat . It didn 't help that I had this stupid bow in my hair . At least he knew I had to be sixteen to drive a car . Not that seventeen was much better . I hated that my birthday was the last day of the year . I thought when I pulled away from the house it would be the last time I ever saw him , but when he pulled up on that motorcycle and saved me from that creepy man , I was flabbergasted . Talk about a knight in shining armor . Or just being in the right place at the right time . I wondered how old he was . Did he have a girlfriend ? Did he want a girlfriend ? Maybe he was engaged . Maybe he was gay ? He was definitely hot enough to be . Whoever was kissing him was lucky to feel lips like his touching them . I wanted to know him , but doing so would require me to go back to my father 's house . I had the summer ahead of me and that was the last thing I wanted to do . I wasn 't ready to tell that to my mother , but it was the truth . My father hadn 't given me the attention or the affection I assumed he would . What had happened to the man that used to pick me up and swing me around every night he came home from work ? How could he not have missed me at all ? I started crying into my pillow . The walls were thin and I didn 't want my mother hearing me . The last thing I needed was her trying to start a war with my father . I wasn 't ready to see him again , but I couldn 't bear to have him leave again . I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing . I had forgotten to turn it off again . My hands finally made contact with the little bugger and the sirens stopped sounding in my ears . Just from habit , I reached over and grabbed my phone . I had already gotten six messages either late last night or early this morning . The last two were from my ex . We had ended our one - year relationship over a month ago . He was leaving for college and I didn 't want to be THAT girl he left at home , while he partied with the other ones . He had been unfaithful twice already and I knew that a long distance relationship would only make it easier for him to do the same thing . In the end of the relationship , he had even become violent and scared me a few times with his temper . Maybe my mother and I had some kind of hereditary gene that caused men to cheat on us and treat us terrible . So , Trevor clearly had issues about our breakup . He said it was one sided . He begged me for hours after I did it , to reconsider . I had made up my mind already , in fact I had done it weeks ago , but he still kept trying . Last night hadn 't been any different . Wow ! It seemed like a threat . However , I was in desperate need of a shower . So I decided to ignore his texts and only respond to Rylee 's . Surprise me . Call me in a few hours . Well , today had been an interesting one . I had the day off . I got walked in on naked . I met a girl . A girl walked out of my place frustrated . I saved the girl from a creep . I watched the girl drive away . Considering the last month of my life consisted of being around my sister and her father figure boyfriend , it was a eventful day . Still , I couldn 't stop thinking about her . Was I nice enough ? Could I have been nicer ? Would I ever see her again ? Would she talk to me if she knew the truth ? The questions burned through my mind , like the cigarette I never did smoke today . When I had arrived home all I could think about was her sweet smile and how scared she looked in that situation on the side of the road . I didn 't even want to think about what could have happened to her if I hadn 't been there . She needed to be more careful . Just because there were a lot of country back roads , didn 't mean it was a safer place to be . She could be lying dead in a ditch right now . I turned on the local baseball game and lay down on the couch . I had finished off the bourbon three hours ago , and all that was left in the fridge was flat container of coke and two bottles of water . I would have to go into town tomorrow and grab some groceries . I couldn 't continue to rely on my sister for everything . I needed to get it through my head that my past was buried two states away from here . Nobody knew me and I could be myself finally again after so long . When I woke the next morning , I felt unrested . The majority of the night had been filled with dreams of that girl Hope . Before I became some pedophile , I needed to find out everything my sister knew about her . I couldn 't believe she had been holding out on me . Why hadn 't she mentioned that Mr . Ryan has this smoking hot daughter ? She obviously knew that she was coming over yesterday , but insisted on calling her " an important person " . I had to wonder if my dear sister was purposely keeping her away from me . It was probably because she was a minor . I didn 't know any girl my age that wore ribbons in their hair . Now that I think about it , I hadn 't seen any pictures hanging anywhere in the house . Buffy said they still had a huge storage unit that they needed to unload , so perhaps they were in there , but it was still strange . Why keep it a secret ? Did they really think it was necessary to hide her existence from me ? When I heard the door open and close I sat up , realizing I was still on the couch , instead of in my bed . I picked up my cell phone and noticed it was nearing ten in the morning already . My sister came prancing in like she had been up for hours . " Good morning sleepy head . Time to get up . Mark and I have big plans for us tonight . " She handed me a cup of coffee and I could tell from the color of it , she had added cream and sugar just how I liked it . " Thanks for this . " I said as I took my first sip . " Oh , it 's nothing really . I was just thinking about something that happened yesterday . On television . " I added the last part so she would let it go . " So , anyway … . Mark and I found this great little place across town . It is a restaurant that has a bar side with dancing . We decided that we are going to go check it out tonight . I am so excited . " " Oh that is the best part . Mark insisted that you come with us . Eeeek ! I am so excited . We talked about it last night , but I didn 't want to come outside and wake you . Plus , I wasn 't wearing any clothes at the time . " She rolled her eyes and started running her hands through her hair . " Whatever ! " She stood up and headed toward the door . " We are leaving at eight . Your better be ready , because if you aren 't we are coming in here and draggin your ass with us . " " Fine Buff . Whatever . I don 't think I ever had a option anyway . I live under your roof and have to abide by the rules . " She leaned her head back in the door , as she stepped the rest of her body outside . " Just be ready when I said . " She walked away and I picked up the coffee again , but as soon as the door closed it re - opened . " Oh and Chance , no drinking today . I can 't have your ass all incoherent before we even leave for dinner . " I shook my head once I knew she was gone . The last thing I wanted to do was go out with my sister and her boyfriend dancing . I hated to dance , and more importantly watch how my sister did it . Every guy in that bar would be mind fucking her . It was disturbing as all hell .
