The following week, Jillian's brothers were going to have a party. Vincent and Jillian had been spending the evenings together when they got done with work. They always went to her place. He decided to buy the blinds and didn't want to bring Jillian over until he got them. He didn't want Alice to be watching them. He knew Alice watched him through her window.
The night of the party arrived and he was going to be meeting her brothers for the first time. He had seen her sister coming and going from the apartment but her brothers were never there. Vincent was feeling a little nervous but he wanted to meet them. He really liked Jillian and her brothers were important to her. He was also planning on kissing her that night.
He looked at himself one more time in the mirror at his place then patted his dog on the head before he turned the lights off. He looked back and saw Alice's lights were off. She had been going out a lot lately and he hadn't seen much of her but he was glad. He grabbed his keys then walked out. He shut the door, locked it quickly then turning around.
" For fuck sakes!" He said as he jumped. Alice was standing behind him.
" Where have you been?" She asked.
" Ah, out." He said. She nodded.
" I noticed." She said.
" How have you been?" Vincent asked her.
" I'm fine. Are you seeing someone?" Alice asked. Vincent moved the keys from one hand to another.
" Yeah." He said as he started to pass her.
" Who is she?" Alice asked.
" Ah, just a girl I met." He said as he started down the stairs.
" I'd like to meet her sometime." Alice was following him quickly.
" Sure, you know, that might be fun." Vincent lied.
" I think it's only right. You're my only friend, you know." Alice said. Vincent rolled his eyes as he reached the bottom steps.
" Yeah well, maybe you should go out more, you know? Meet some people." He offered.
" I could start by meeting your girlfriend." Alice said.
" We will see." Vincent said.

Vincent was waiting on the couch, watching TV in her den later that night. She hadn't been ready when he got to her apartment so she turned on the TV for him then went back up the stairs. She had to change her clothes because she was wearing her clothes from the studio. Vincent could hear music coming from her brothers' apartment and started getting nervous all over again. He heard the girls laughing as they came back down the stairs. Mariah walked past the den and out of the door a second before Jillian appeared in the doorway.
" Okay, sorry about that." She said. He smiled as he stood up. " My sister's freaking out cuz she likes this guy, Mike, that's going to be there and I had to help her pick out her clothes." He shut the TV off and started towards her. " Ready?" She asked.
" Yeah." He said.
As they walked out of her place, his eyes slid down her. She was wearing her normal faded jeans. The jeans fit her ass so nicely that he wanted to reach out and grab it. He shoved his hands into his pockets as he followed her down the stairs. She was wearing a plain, white v neck tight shirt. She was the only girl he had ever met that could wear the hell out of a plain shirt.
He followed her around the stairs and under them to a another door that was propped opened. There was loud music and talking coming from the inside. Directly in front of them was a table with six guys sitting around it. Two guys sitting at each end of the table had to be her brothers, he thought. They looked almost completely alike.
Both guys had the same dark hair as Jillian and her sister. They looked much taller than the girls but both were smiling and he'd know that smile anywhere. There were two guys sitting beside each other on each side of the table. The boys' apartment looked like Jillian's only instead of there being an upstairs there was a stair case that went down stairs. Vincent followed Jillian to the table. The guys were talking and laughing but it died down when they saw her.
" Hey, Jilly." One guy, facing Vincent, said. He had blond hair and his eyes were taking her in.
" Hey, so this is Vincent." Jillian said. She looped her hand around Vincent's arm and pulled him closer to her. She pointed to one guy at the end of the table who was staring hard at Vincent. " So that's Jared, my oldest brother," She put her hand on the guy's shoulder who was sitting across from Jared. "This is Jordan. He was third,"
" Because the best came last." Jordan spoke up with a smile. He stood up and held his hand out to Vincent. They exchanged a hello and smiled. She quickly finished introducing him around the table to the other guys then took him into a another room where her sister was.
They had been at the party about an hour, having drinks and talking together. He was leaning against the couch, holding her to him. He had his arm around her waist with his hand resting against her lower back. She had one hand on his shoulder while she stood in between his legs. They were talking to the guy her sister liked. Mariah was standing beside the guy, staring up at him. Vincent's fingers were rubbing Jillian's lower back when his phone went off. He took it out of his pocket and looked down at the number. He shook his head and put it back into his pocket. He didn't want to talk to Alice, she knew he was busy that night. They kept talking and having a good time when his phone went off again. He pulled it out and saw she was calling him again. He patted Jillian's back.
" I have to take this, I'm sorry." He said as he stood up. She smiled as her hand slipped from his shoulder to his chest.
" It's okay." She said.
He smiled, put a hand on the back of her neck and kissed her quickly, surprising them both. He pulled away and looked at her as his phone continued to scream. Jillian smiled and took a hold of his shirt. She pulled him close and kissed him again. Vincent twisted some of her hair in his fingers and put his phone back into his pocket. She parted her lips and his tongue slipped in quickly. They kissed for a few seconds again before his phone went off again. He pulled his mouth away and swore. Jillian laughed.
" Just answer it. I will be here when you get back." She said softly.
" Yeah, alright. I'm sorry. It won't take long." He promised. She smiled and nodded.
The den Jillian was standing in had three big windows. When Vincent went outside to answer his phone, he could see her. She was leaning against the couch, talking with her sister and Mike. He smiled as he answered the phone. He wanted to end the call as fast as he could so he could get back in there to her. The kiss had gone over well and he wanted to try for more.
" What?" He asked into the phone, his eyes still on Jillian.
" I need you. I need your help." Alice said.
" I told you I'm busy." He said.
" You with your girlfriend?" She snapped.
" You're drunk." Vincent said.
" Yeah and I got an accident. I'm in jail." Alice said.
" I can't help you, I'm busy, You need to call someone else or spend the night. I can't help you every time you need something. I'm not your boyfriend." Vincent said.
He heard her call his name as he took the phone away. He looked down at it and ended the call. He put his phone on silent so she won't bother him anymore. He slipped it into his pocket and turned around to go into the apartment. He almost ran into her brother, Jared. Vincent had been so wrapped up in his phone call, and watching Jillian, that he hadn't noticed that Jared had come outside.
" Problems?" Jared asked before he light up a smoke.
" No." Vincent said.
" Sounded like you were talking to a girl." Jared said.
" She's just a friend." He said. Jared took a drag from his smoke and nodded his head.
" I hope so. My sister really likes you. I won't take it well if you fuck her over, you feel me?" Jared said. Vincent nodded.
" Yeah, I feel you." He said. Jared nodded as he took another drag.
" Good. Now I got to go have the same conversation with that guy with my other sister." Jared surprised him by smiling then. " Sometimes it sucks being the older brother." Vincent smiled.
