The Bitch Came Back

The clobbering of footsteps coming upstairs grabbed everyone's attention as the laughing voices of my brothers and one I didn’t recognize filled the air as they came into the room. Michael came and wrapped his arm around my shoulder lightly, while Caine came and rubbed his knuckles on my scalp while I fought against them.

“Stop it asshat!” I grunted while stomping on Caine’s foot.

“Boys! Leave her alone!” I glanced up and started scanning faces, most of which trying to contain their laughter, until I landed on Derrick. He had mesmerizing chocolate brown eyes, they reminded me of Jess’s. That made me smile. His hair matched his eyes and was a curly mess on top of his head. He had a bit of stubble on his chin, making him seem older, more manly. I gulped as I let my eyes trail to his chest, the strained fabric of his blue v-neck obviously covering a well built body.
