“Jenny!”

“Hush!”

Jenny

It hasn’t taken long at all for Derrick to start co out of that shell he’d crawled into as a teen I’ve never met a more bossy, stubborn man in my life He makes my dad look like a pushover and that he is not It’s been a while since o But Derrick does that without batting a lash; I love it

I know he’s steaet dressed for the party instead of getting ready with him at his house I don’t think he knew until now that he has a jealous streak a o when I told hiuy from one of my classes

It didn’t matter that Paul was the homeliest person you’d ever meet, or that I had no interest in him Half an hour after I sat down in the little Internet café don to start our study session, guess who showed up with the twins Okay, I admit I did that on purpose, and I chose Paul because he’s theboy I know Plus, he’ss attached

I ribbed him about that one for hours, especially since he seeether, he always has to have his hands on me in some hich I love The only probleirls He tries to do everything for theuess I understand, but itto be theirto have to work on real fast

He’s slowly but surely beco like the boy I fell in love with, only now he has all these manly attributes that leave me weak in the knees Even his mom pulled me aside when she came to pick up the twins and thanked ive her back her son She, too, had lae in him after the accident

As I was pulling on es in ift that was still sitting under the Xmas tree Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow since that’s e plan to take it down

I felt nerves in my tummy as I worried about his reaction Will he be happy or upset? He’d better not spoil this forI ad I’ve alanted Itthe people I love, but I’m sure I can do it

I smoothed the velvet dress down my middle and hoped no one would notice Maybe they’d think it was the cut of the dress that et the dress that showedto make him postal

“You little shit, what’re you wearing?” I took off the jacket of my tux and put it around her shoulders as soon as she answered the door I didn’t buy that innocent save me as she held her lips up for my kiss I know she did that shit on purpose

The dress that barely reached her knees looked like she’d painted it on, and her tits were about to pop right out The roosters that I was guessing were her friends ere old enough to be here

I saw that damn Paul kid she’s always on the phone with, and my hackles rose I don’t care what she says; there’s no way she can convince me that he has no interest in her He’d have to be blind as fuck for that to be true

Her mom stopped me to introduce roup of spit-shine jocks I know those assholes, I used to be one of thehed and placed her hand on one of their ar in her ear

Now I have to reht to pitch a slap in her ass for acting her age, but two can play at that game I excused myself from her mother and her friends after the introductions were made and made my way around the room

I was positive that she was tracking rinned at me when that asshole whispered in her ear, I know she was playing me I found my mark, the most scantily clad woman there, and pretended to ask for the time
