“You sure about this?” I ask Huxley who I met at the new job I’d gotten when moving in with my father for the summer. Something to keep me busy and out of the house so I had to spend less time around him. 

Huxley puts his arm around my back , resting his hand on my shoulder as we walk up the drive way to the house he shared with his brothers. 

“You’ll be fine, promise” Huxley says as reach my hand up to hold his that rests on my shoulder. 

People at work, mainly nosy gossips, had warned me to “stay away” from “the Hale boy”. 

Rumors were that Huxley and his brothers had a shit mom and a shit father and that their oldest brother pretty much raised them. That the boys were from “the wrong side of the tracks”, and had a rotating wheel of females that went in and out of their place. 

Huxley and I weren’t dating. We hadn’t even kissed. Yet. Not to say the times we’ve hung out I wasn’t dying to. 

Huxley had a buzz cut. As if he were in the Marines. He was six feet tall and had chocolate colored eyes, and more tattoos than I’d ever seen on someone in person. It seemed like all but his face and hands were covered. 

He was definitely intimidating with the bad boy air he carried with him, but he came and sat next time when it was time for us to take our lunch the first day at orientation. And we have been talking and hanging out every day since. 

When we walk around the back of the large house , I’m met with rock music playing, the smell of beer and several guys and several women.  All of the men look like they may have possibly been in jail at one point or at least done stuff that warranted jail time. And most of the women were dressed provocatively in tiny tight dresses like the were going to the club or in tight tiny shorts with their ass hanging out, and they were all hot. A few of the girls wore leather jackets, which I only assumed from all my watching of tv and movie shows , that it meant they were dating one of the guys here. Several of the men wore the same jackets, the one Huxley wore everyday and was currently wearing now. Each had a large crow on the back along with their “name” on the back. 

I feel my cheeks heat as most of the people stop talking and look in the direction of me and Huxley. And I know they’re not lifting their brows at Huxley. But at me. The five foot five , brown haired blue eyed girl that looks like she came out of a jcrew catalog in my yellow almost knee length summer dress with a matching light weight elbow length cardigan over it. 

“There he is!” A guy yells and raises a beer. 

“Brought his little friend to meet the family!” A guy who looks a lot like Huxley walks over. 

“Leif meet Mila, Mila, meet Leif, my brother” he says as the man the same height as Huxley bends down and throws his arms around me and picks me up in a giant bear hug , making me laugh and making some of the tension shake away. 

“Welcome to the family!” Leif says as he sets me down. “Let’s get you a drink!”

I look to Huxley as his brother slings his arm around me and pulls me in the direction of a cooler. Huxley just shrugs with a smile , as if to say, you asked for it. 

Which I did.  Huxley had told me a lot about his brothers, his friends, and they all sounded fun and I wanted to meet them. Meet some new people and not just have one singular friend. 

I’m handed a bottle of bud light after Leif removes the cap and he clinks his bottle to mine. 

“Cheers buttercup” he says and I just smile and shyly sip from the bottle.  

“Jaxx here?” I hear Huxley ask his brother who nods. 

“Inside. Working” Leif rolls his eyes and Huxley nods.

Even though I stick out like a sore thumb it isn’t long until I’m relaxed , until I’m sitting around a bonfire with Huxley and all of his friends. 

The sun is going down and I’m quite a few beers in and when I start to shiver , Huxley takes his jacket off and puts it around me. 

I notice the looks he gets from a few of the guys and a few of the girls who seem to be insanely jealous I’m here with Huxley. 

I’m laughing at a story one of the guys “SNOT” is telling. What a nickname. His real name is Mikey. Huxley has his chin on my shoulder , arms wrapped around me and I’m having such a good time. Until I’m not. 

A screen door slams and it jerks almost everyone’s attention. 

“Aw shit”Leif says and he stands. I hear Huxley mutter a curse. And the man standing at the back door is glaring daggers at me. And at Huxley. 

“Who is that?” I whisper unable to take my eyes off him as if I didn’t already know. The resemblance was there. 

“My brother” Huxley says and goes to stand and I stand with him. 

“Might as well get this over with” he says as a few people laugh and tell him he’s about to get himself a new asshole ripped. 

Suddenly my nerves are back and the guy , Jaxx, his oldest brother is watching us walk towards him and the closer I get. I think I might piss myself with how scary he looks with the way he’s standing there his hair longer on top than on the sides. Currently slicked and pushed back, like some kind of leather jacket wearing fully tattooed James Dean. 

“She needs to go.” Are the first words out of his mouth. And maybe it’s the beer but even though this guy is intimidating. I decide his lack of manners has to be addressed. 

“Nice to meet you too.” I say. Making his stare go from Huxley to me and he looks me up and down , not in a sexy way either. He’s looking at me as if I’m covered in shit and flies. 

He snarls slightly and gives his attention back to Huxley. 

“Get her out of here” he growls. “Now”

“She’s been here all afternoon , she’s fine” Huxley says. 

“We don’t bring in outsiders. Especially not ones that look like that.” He says as he looks me up and down again. My jaw drops open. 

“Hey!” I say and raise my finger and point it at him.

“She’s just hanging out” Huxley says. 

“Screw you!” I say at the same time and poke the bear in front of me. Literally. I poke him in the chest. His hard. Very hard chest. 

“Remove her. Or I will.” Jaxx says not phased at all by my finger stabbing his chest. 

“She’s fine bro” Leif interjects. “Just let her fucking stay. She’s already been here all day, what’s it matter?”

Jaxx clenches his jaw clearly irritated with both of his brothers now. 

“Chill the fuck out and have a beer” Leif says and Jaxx glares at both of his brothers. 

“She doesn’t fucking belong here.” Jaxx argues. 

I grow more insecure by the second. Hating that he’s judging me.

They do a fucking intense stare off and then I’m in a car a minute later with a sober driver and Huxley in the back seat with me as I’m taken home. 

“Don’t take it personally” Huxley says as he puts his hand on my knee and squeezes it comfortingly. 

“He’s a dick to anyone he doesn’t know.”

“See ya” I say as Huxley walks me to the door. 

“Tomorrow?” He asks and I smile and nod. 

“I’ll pick you up at Eight” he says. 

My eyes widen. “A.m?”

He laughs. “Yeah princess, think you can manage to roll out of your canopied bed before then?” He teases me. Huxley knew I came from a wealthy family. The massive house we were standing in front of was indication enough. I swat him and he laughs. 

“See you tomorrow sunshine” he winks and walks away and back towards the car.

Inside my dad tries to ask me about my dayX about where I was and I ignore him. Throwing the I’m tired excuse his way and going to my bedroom. And the last thing I think about before bed, isn’t Huxley. It’s his brother and how much I hate him.
