My Brothers Love

It was six-thirty when I woke the next morning. I had slept surprisingly well, even with my door unlocked. But I nearly screamed when I entered the bathroom. I had a large hickey on the side of my neck, right where Alex had been sucking. Oh but he would pay even if I had to do something drastic! I pulled out the foundation I rarely used and dabbed some on the dark spot, cursing when it was still noticeable. So, I flipped my hair over my shoulder, wondering if I could keep it there all day to cover the mark.

After I finished my business in the bathroom I went back into my room to dress for the day. I had spent the first two hours after I had gone to bed last night thinking about what had happened. I had never felt the things I had felt with Alex before. Maybe that’s why I was so intrigued by it all, because he was the first of the male gender to lavish this kind of attention on me. But I almost wished it was someone other then my own brother.

Once dressed in a pair of jeans, that had real holes in the knees, and a Chinese-style t-shirt I made my way down stairs. There I found my mom sitting at the table, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. Good, I wanted to talk to her about something.

“Mom,” I said grabbing a granola bar and sitting down at the table.

“What dear?” she asked, taking another sip from her mug.

“I want to get on birth control.”

The room was silent. It was so quiet you could hear the dog that lived four houses away, and that’s saying a lot seeing as it was a basenji.

“You’re not... sexually active are you?” she asked, swallowing her words hard. We had had the talk, and she had told me if I had questions or anything of the sort I could come to her.

“No, I’m not. But Brook and I were talking about how it helps regulate your period. And you know how erratic my period is.”

She looked me up and down. “But you’re not sexually active?”

“No, but I think Alex is if you wanna talk to him.”

“No, no, your father and I’ve already talked to him. He says he’s taking the necessary precautions.”

I was relieved to hear that, seeing as he was actually one of the reasons I wanted to get on birth control. I was finding out that I really didn’t have control over my body when he was touching me. But I did want it for the period as well.

“Well that’s good to know. I’d hate for my only brother to get aids or something like that.” And then sleep with me and give it to me. I stopped myself. We weren’t going to sleep with each other... I hope. “We can go anytime you’re free. Or I can have Alex run me to planned parenthood after school, I doubt he’d mind, he really has nothing better to do.”

“If he can’t take you today, we’ll go on Saturday.”

I nodded; well that was one thing out of the way. “Okay, I’m gonna go get him up; I was hoping to get to school early.”

I stood from the table and left the kitchen. I made my way up the stairs, running into my dad in the hall. His kissed me on the forehead and said good morning before continuing on his way downstairs.

I made my way to Alex’s room, and without bothering to knock I entered, shutting the door again once I was inside. He was still sleeping, his thin blanket covering his lower half as he laid on his side. I arched a brow as he mumbled something incoherent in his sleep. I made my way to his bed and looked at him. He was cute sleeping. There was no evil or wicked smile, and he wasn’t plotting against me.

I prodded him in the shoulder; he wasn’t wearing a shirt I noticed as my hand made contact with his skin. “Go away,” he mumbled.

I prodded him again, “come on, I want to get to school early.”

“Who the fuck wants to go to school early?” he asked in a groggy frustrated tone.

“Apparently me. Come on,” I whined prodding him again.

He grabbed hold of the hand I was prodding him with and pulled me onto the bed. I sat at first, with every intention of continuing to prod him, but he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulling me into his arms. He squeezed me for a moment, and I was sure the deep breath he took was to inhale my scent.

I tried to get away at first, but froze when I felt something hard on the small of my back. “Let me up,” I said bluntly.

“Give me five minutes.”

“Let me up,” I said again, this time trying to get out of his grip.

In returned his arms tightened, “would you relax, I’m not going to do anything.”

“I think the littler you has other plans.”

Alex chuckled. It was that deep chuckle that still sounded sexy. “He’s not going to bite... yet. Now relax and let me sleep another five minutes.”

I decided to trust his words and relaxed. Apparently I got too relaxed as I felt him move, waking me from the light sleep I was in. I decided to act like I was still asleep, and he let me be. Unwrapping his arms from me and getting off the bed. I watched as he walked, naked, towards his dresser. I peeked out from my eye lids slightly, staring at his magnificent naked form, quickly closing them again when he turned towards me. I wasn’t ready to see that much of him!

Alex left the bedroom then, and I assumed he had put on a pair of boxers or something of the sort. While he was gone, I turned so that I was laying on my stomach, wrapping my arm around one of his pillows.

I surrounded by his scent. It was of his cologne and something that was pure him; it was almost an earthy smell. I sighed, and realized I was forgetting this was my brother, as at the same time I was telling myself that I could get used to waking up with his scent around me.

He came back into the room, freshly shaved and his hair had been combed. I remained on my stomach facing him, watching as he dressed. He turned towards me and saw that I was watching him.

“So much for getting to school early,” he said nodding towards the clock.

I looked at the clock on the night stand; it was now seven-thirty. “Shit,” I muttered, rolling onto my back and putting my arm over my eyes. I couldn’t believe I had fallen asleep for so long.

I didn’t really have to be at school early, but now I’d have to wait for the last class of the day to be able to talk to my teacher about the soccer tryouts next fall. Yeah, it was odd to try and join a sport on your last year at the school, but I had been on the team my freshman year. But on the last game of the season I went for an awesome goal (which I made), slipped on the grass and broke my ankle. I probably could have re-joined the team the next year if the bone hadn’t healed wrong, ultimately resulting in three surgeries. To my relief the doctors finally said I could play again.

Brook, who wasn’t much of a sports person, agreed to help me get ready for the season. I was thankful, knowing that I was pulling her away from her beloved Harry Potter fanfics.

I heard Alex moving and mumbling about something. Then I felt the weight of him sit on the side of the bed, most likely to put his shoes on.

“Aww, you covered it up,” Alex said, moving so that he was half over me. One of his arms was along my right side, his hand spread across my shirt just under my breasts. He could very easily press his upper body against mine to keep my in place.

“Covered what up?” I asked moving my arm so that I could see him.

He ran the thumb of his other hand over the hickey that was on my neck. An involuntary shudder ran down my spine as he touched the sensitive skin.

“What would you do if I gave you one on the other side?” he asked me.

“Beat you senseless. I’m already going to get you back for this one.”

“This in turn would have me doing something to you, resulting in you doing something to me. It’s a vicious cycle.” He smiled and kissed my neck. “Hope you didn’t want to get to school that bad. You were so cute sleeping.”

I frowned, “you were watching me sleep?” He just smiled at me, but said nothing in return. “But no, I just wanted to talk to Coach Moy about soccer next fall.”

He brushed my hair from my face, and ran his finger dawn my cheek. “Ah, you think you’re ready for that?”

“Yeah... at least I hope I am.” Why did he have to touch me? It was so distracting. “Uh, can you take me to Planned Parenthood after school?”

He was taken aback, “why?”

“I have my reasons. Plus you can go get yourself checked out.”

“Checked out for what?”

I shrugged, “never know what one of them tramps you’ve slept with had.”

“You’re afraid.”

“Afraid? Of what?” I realized his chest was bare, he needed to get a shirt one, it was bad enough that he started moving the thumb under my breast around.

“That you’ll get something from me.”

“But we’re not sleeping together.”

“Yet.” He leaned forward and kissed me. My hands that I had lounging above my head went around his neck without me even thinking about it. He moaned and pressed me to the bed, his one hand moved behind my head, his hand tangling into my hair. The hand he had below my breast, now moved to cover it completely. I moaned, arching my back against his hand as he squeezed it lightly.

“Zuri, I thought you were going to wake your brother up,” came our mother’s voice from in the hall, then a knocking on my bedroom door. “Zuri! Did you fall asleep?”

Alex groaned then moved away from me. I laid on the bed, once again breathless, the strange feeling in my lower abdomen back again. Alex opened up his bedroom door and walked into the hall.

“I wasn’t ready to get up, so she went ahead and called Brook to come pick her up,” I heard him tell our mom.

“Oh... I didn’t hear her leave,” our mom said.

“Well that’s told me what she was doing. I’ll call Brook’s cell and see if she ever came.”

“Okay, well I’m off to work, your father just left. Call me if she’s not with Brook.”

“Will do,” Alex said then came back into the room. “There I just covered your ass,” he said moving towards the dresser, opening the middle drawer for a shirt.

“You wouldn’t have to cover my ass if you hadn’t gotten me to fall asleep with you,” I said sitting up, sliding my legs over the edge of the bed.

He smiled as he pulled on a shirt, “you know you liked it.”

I sent him a glare, standing from the bed. “That’s beside the point.” I moved towards his bedroom door, “I’m going to go get my book bag.”

When I entered the hall I heard the front door close, meaning our mom had just left. I crossed the hall and went into my bedroom for my things. I shoved my algebra book in my bag, the put the bag over one of my shoulders. I stopped in front of mirror that was on my dresser and fixed my hair so that it was once again covering my hickey. I didn’t really care what he said; he was going to pay for it.

I left my room again, at the same time Alex was leaving his. My room was closer to the stairs then him, so I began to make my way there. Without warning Alex grabbed hold of my hand, and pulled me into his chest. He kissed me deeply, moving me backwards until I was once again against the wall.

I pushed him off of me, my hands tangled in his shirt. “Damnit, stop that!”

He smiled at me and asked innocently, “stop what?”

“You know perfectly well what! And if you don’t stop, I’m going to do something.”

“Do what?”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

He smiled again, and kissed me again, but this time it was more of a quick peck. “Wait here; I’ll go make sure mom’s actually gone. It wouldn’t do to have her see you leave the house after I told her you were already gone.”

“Fine, but hurry up, we’re already going to be late.” I let go of his shirt, and watched as he went down the stairs.

When he was gone I timidly touched my lips with my fingertips. I couldn’t believe I was actually welcoming his attention. I wanted it even! Any normal person would push their brother off them and try to get away, but I didn’t. Instead I welcomed it, reacting strangely to his every touch. I leaned up against the wall breathing, trying to think if this was good or not.

“She’s gone,” Alex said from downstairs.

I pushed off the wall and made my way down the stairs. Alex was standing by the front door waiting for me. He gave me an odd look and I arched a brow.

“What’s your problem?” I asked walking past him.

“You’re too sexy.”

I snorted in laughter, “you’re nuts.” I said beginning to walk down the path backwards to watch him.

“Am not. Most the guys think so too, I just think it’s you’re friends and your... err... boyfriend that scare them off.”

I laughed again, “I’m sure they do. And Mike is more of a stalker then a boyfriend.”

I turned around again and climbed into the passenger side of the car.

“Want me to talk to him?” Alex asked as he climbed in the car and started it.

“No, he only gets annoying when he wants people to think he’s dating. It’s about once a week or so. I done laid the rules of no touching; he learned that one fast too.”

Alex laughed pulling the car out of the driveway. “What’d you do to him?”

“Remember that week I was grounded and no one knew why?”

“Yeah...”

“Well, I basically beat the shit out of him. We all came to an agreement that made it so I didn’t get suspended, but mom and dad still grounded me.” Alex was laughing at me. “You should take that as fair warning. Next time I tell you not to do something.”

He laughed again, “Mike’s a wuss. Unlike him, I’d have you on the ground in two seconds. Then again... that could be fun.”

I looked at him slightly wide eyed. “Well I don’t know how much fun that’d be!”

“You’d like it. From what I can tell you like the man to take control.”

This time I gapped at him, I couldn’t believe what all he was saying. I still couldn’t believe that this was my brother. I put my hand on my forehead and began to rub my temples. I needed to think all this out, but even with him there in the driver’s seat was too close for me to think straight.

“Damnit,” I cursed under my breath.

“What?” Alex asked looking sideways at me.

I jumped, I didn’t think he could hear me. “Nothing. We there yet?”

He arched a brow at me, “what’s on your mind?”

“Nothing,” I said again.

“Sure... You know, you can tell me anything...”

“Okay... why the fuck are you suddenly giving me all this attention... like sexual attention.”

Alex was silent for a long time, and I looked out the window to see the school approaching. Alex was still quiet as he pulled into the senior parking lot. Once he pulled into a parking spot he turned off the car.

I looked at him for a second, then opened the car door. “Think about it. We’ll talk about it when we get home.”

Once I was out of the door I heard him finally speak, “I’m not sure how much talking there will be.”

I groaned, slamming the car door shut.

A/N le gasp, a day late. I forgot all about it yesterday... lol. This is the last chapter I have prewritten, meaning I'm actually going to have to write again XD
