Chapter 442
“Very kind of you,” I tell him with a chuckle. “So, how did you get Nan into bed?” I asked, taking a bite of the eggs.
He laughed.
“I don’t kiss and tell,” he teased.
I raised my brows because that’s literally all he ever does. He loves bragging about this kind of thing.
“Since when?”
“Since this one actually means something to me,” he told me. He leaned against the counter, his eyes softening as he got lost in his thoughts. “I wasn’t really expecting to sleep with her,” he finally admitted. Though I wasn’t sure if he was talking to me, or to himself. “It just kind of happened.”
“How did it just kind of happen?”
“Well, with you gone, Nan and I decided to have a movie night. We did a lot of talking before we watched the movie and we both agreed to take things slow. As the movie played, we started kissing and then one thing kind of led to another. Next thing I knew, I was carrying her into my bedroom and showing her a good time.”
I laughed at his wording.
“Such a romantic,” I teased, taking another bite of the food. “I hope you were careful.”
“She’s on the pill,” he assured me, which I already knew, but I hoped he wore a condom too because I know he’s been with a lot of women. “And I’m clean,” he said, as though he could read my mind.
“Are you sure about that?” I asked him, narrowing my eyes.
“Scouts honor,” he said, holding up his hand. “I get checked regularly. I would never put Nan at risk like that if I wasn’t sure.”
I nodded, satisfied with his answer as I continued to eat.
Not before long, Nan was returning to the kitchen wearing a white tank top that rested just above her pierced belly and a pair of tight shorts that were fairly long, resting just above her knees, but also tight enough that it showed off every single one of her curves.
Her hair was also damp from her quick shower and brushed out of her face. She had light makeup on her face, making her already bright features pop and she changed the piercing in her nose, so it went from blue to purple.
I always loved Nan’s style. Delta Patrick Carter didn’t let her wear her nose
piercing while at work, so she had to take it out. But she always wore it when she went to school and on her days off.
“What did I miss?” She asked as she sat beside me, grabbing her fork and shoveling food into her mouth.
“Chester was just giving me the details on how he plowed you last night,” I told her without a care, trying not to laugh when she nearly choked on her food.
Chester’s mouth dropped open as his eyes narrowed at me.
“Oh, did he?” Nan said, her eyes narrowed at Chester, and her lips pressed in a thin line.
“That’s not exactly how it happened,” he said defensively, making me laugh.
“You two are so cute,” I giggled. “I’m only teasing, Nan. Don’t be too hard on him.”
She let out a breath of relief and the anger dispersed from her eyes as she continued to eat.
After we finished our meals, Nan and I said goodbye to Chester, me with a wave and her with a very deep kiss that made me look away because I felt like I was watching something I should be watching.
Gamma Erick was waiting outside for us when we left the mansion, ready to take us to school. As we sat in the backseat of the car, I couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy as the mansion got smaller in the distance. My mind went back to last night.
“Something weird happened last night,” I told Nan before I could change my mind. “What?” She asked, glancing up from her phone to look at me.
“When I got home… I caught Sammy in my room… going through my things.” Nan’s eyes grew wide as she studied me.
“I knew something was weird with her last night,” she confessed. “Chester and I asked if she wanted anything for dinner and she said she wasn’t hungry and was going ot bed early. She looked uneasy about something.”
“Did you ask her about it?” I asked.
“I asked if she was okay, but of course, she said she was fine. Later, I heard her on the phone with someone… though I have no idea who it was.”
“Well, what did she say?” I asked.
“She was telling whoever was on the other end that she couldn’t go through with it because it was dangerous and she could get caught… whoever was on the other end, they were trying to convince her to do something she didn’t want to do.”
