“That with all these girls out there, why date men?”
Chapter 4
Star
“And you wonder how I knew you had a thing for her” Mack drops down onto the sofa besideon the floor with all my crap scattered on the coffee table as I try and study I’ on task I do what needs to be done but I’, drawing and watching a baseball ga my phone every three seconds to see if I have a text
“What?” I glance over at hii
ant plate of nachos that haveI steal one off his plate
“You’re always drawing her” My eyes go back to whereover the sketch pad I can draw her with my eyes closed, from memory There isn’t a curve, line or expression of Maisie’s that I don’t know I’h , they are still beautiful Drawing has always been second nature to ave me the shove I needed to do it My brother, not that I will ever admit this out loud, is set carried away I have to be honest, I orried about ht not be able to do anything with it in the future
Mom and Dad often remind me that I don’t need to worry about that I’ not to try and make it on my own Everyone in my family is driven Maybe a little too much at times We can be borderline obsessive if we’re not careful
Dad gave randparents worked hard so we can have all the things in life we’ll ever want Dad adamantly told me that if art was my passion than that’s what I should raduating soon and all I can seeain Maisie’s perfect face fills uptouches which include her three sht ear How many times have I wondered what it would be like to kiss her there? Would she shiver in excites in her ear? Would her pussy get wet for ue?
“I don’t kno you do that,” Mack says, breakingon a nacho sort of put a damper on my fantasy
“What?” I’m unable to pull my eyes away froly beautiful?
“I lare at“Seriously, Star I’m not into her It’s just an objective fact Anyone can see that but when you draw her—” He shakes his head, al Mack never is Usually I can’t get him to shut up whether I want his opinion or not “You capture so about her I can’t place it”
“I know,” I admit “I think it’s her innocence” Mom always says it’s crazy how I can pull out who people are in a picture Dad says it’s because I’lance to size someone up I feel protective of Maisie for some reason Even when it comes to my sketches I never let anyone but Mack look at them I don’t want anyone’s eyes to see what I do in my own sketches
“The guys on ca innocent about her,”her away I’ve heard them talk too I’ve wanted to punch a few in the mouth
“She doesn't date,” I grit out They wouldn't know if she is innocent or not Though soo as far as to say she’s never been kissed I grab another one of his nachos Why the fuck are they talking about her if they aren’t even dating her? They should keep their mouths shut
“I know I asked around”
“Of course you did,” I say with a mouth full of nachos Always the protective brother I want to tell him to mind his own business and to stay away froood protector and it doesn't hurt that he’s keeping an eye on her too
“She text back yet?”
“Since when are you so intolife?”
“Since one of us got one?” He picks up his plate so it’s out ofmake you one? Jesus”
“I’ll take a Dr Pepper too while you’re at it”
He gives et it yourself but a o make me a plate
“Love you!” I say with a laugh
“I love you too but answer the freaking question if I’ you food and a drink,” he says as he co my can of soda down for me
“No” I drop back to lean against the sofa I texted her three hours ago and not a peep back I know she’s not in class I sadly stalked and know her schedule Nodown the Maisie path, it is like all roads lead to her at every turn Not only do I think she’s way out of ether that she et off on the idea of being her first, it also scares the crap out ofthat I open her eyes to this part of herself and she doesn’t wantterm I want her for myself This is why I’ve always been hesitant to try with her I will never recover if I get a taste of her and she leaves irls of the world ould be falling all over theht be innocent but she also has heartbreak written all over her
“What did you text?” Mack asks as he heads back into the kitchen to h Why is this so hard?
