Sleep With Her
Grayson
The anger I felt towards Malia’s dad was one like I have never felt before. When I saw her face, I wanted nothing more than to go over there and beat the shit out of him. Unfortunately, there was nothing more I could do that wouldn’t land me in hot water.
I have been sitting here watching Malia sleep like a damn creeper ever since Ryder went upstairs. Considering that her just being here helped ebb some of my anger, I really didn’t want to leave her side. Making sure that she was comfortable while sleeping, I put the blanket over her. I really need to go talk to the guys about everything but I couldn’t help staring at the beauty, that was Malia. While looking at her face, I could see that she had the longest eyelashes I have ever seen on a woman before.
Her lips were pink and full, begging to be bitten. With that thought being the last one, I gave her a feather-light kiss on her forehead and head upstairs.
As I walked into Ryder’s room, I noticed he was looking at me with a slight glare. I wondered if he saw Malia and I kiss. Judging by the way the guys have looked at Malia, I could tell they have feelings for her like I do. This was going to get messy.
Well, there is only one way to solve this issue.
“So… we obviously all agree that this situation is bullshit. What exactly happened, Asher?”
Sighing, he answered, “After she handed in her applications, we went to get ice cream. Once we were finished there, I took her home. If you could call it that. I could see why she never wanted us to go there. The place didn’t even look livable. There were cracked windows and the fucking place was just a mess. Anyways, we were saying goodnight and all of a sudden her dad came to the door and was a straight-up dick for no reason. Not to mention, he reeked of alcohol. I tried introducing myself but he just totally brushed it off and went inside with Malia.” He looked really uncomfortable and I figured out why.
He didn’t repeat what Malia said in her side of the story. He forgot to mention the kiss; although whether it was an accident or not, I couldn’t say but most likely not.
“Keep going Asher” I growled, because at this point I was getting frustrated and pissed on her behalf. She may have wanted to brush it aside but I couldn’t do that. It wasn’t ingrained in my DNA especially ones that felt the need to hit someone that couldn’t properly defend themselves.
Asher swallowed roughly and continued, “I was walking back to my car when I heard the yelling. I didn’t want to interfere, so I kept on going to the car. Then I heard a thump and that is when I barged in. The sight I walked in on, is one I never want to see again.” He shuddered and his eyes were haunted as he looked at me.
"Grayson, he had her on the floor spewing in her face words a father should never say to their daughter. I saw the red mark on her face. He said that as long as she was in his house he wouldn’t have a whore as a daughter. She also told me while driving around, that if she didn’t make money she wouldn't eat. Apparently, her dad can’t keep a job for the life of him, so she always has to work,” he looked up from the floor with tears that I never thought I would see, making his eyes look glassy. “Where did she apply to work?” Ryder muttered, trying not to look uneasy.
“The Blue Star Diner and Broad Street Tavern,” Asher revealed. Damn it, this was worse than I thought. “What about the kiss Asher?” Ryder surprised us, by asking this in a calm tone. The blush that crawled up Asher’s cheeks made my lips turn into a grin.
“What about it? We kissed. That is it.” I shared a look with Ryder and I could tell he was thinking the same thing I was. That wasn’t just a kiss. He could play it down all he wanted but there was more to it than that, written plain as day across his face.
“Alright, if you say so, Ash.”
“Onto the next issue. What are we gonna do about her dad? We can’t just let her go home with him.” I said, but was quickly surprised by someone we didn’t hear the door open.
“I appreciate that you guys care but nobody is going to let me do anything. I do what I want. Let’s just get this out of the way now. Anything else you want to add?” she sassed, with a tired look in her eyes.
Jesus her sassy side drove me crazy. I wondered if she would be like that in bed, defying me at every turn.
Ah fuck, I had to think of something else and quickly. Football and disgusting locker rooms.
Fuck me! That was not good.
Alright, this was serious. I needed to pay attention because while I had been trying to not let my dick get hard, everyone was talking.
“I think one of us should sleep with her.” Asher blurted with such a straight face that I didn’t think he even realized what the rest of us thought. Ryder and I choked on our thoughts and Malia turned bright red, but that quickly turned into a grin.
“Well, which one of you is it gonna be?” she quipped. That shook everyone out of their thoughts and we were all kind of staring at her quite dumbfounded.
“Who’s taking the floor?” she snickered. Thank the damn universe
