Chapter 38
"Are you insane?" Jake was waiting for Quinn in the family room when he got home from the dance. Their parents had already gone to bed.
"Gosh, Darrell's worse than a gossipy old lady," Quinn laughed.
"If Wyatt finds out his daughter was dancing to a song that suggestive, he'll ground her for life," Jake said, not amused by his brother at all.
"Why should he care if the teachers there allowed it?" Quinn shrugged.
"Oh come on, Quinn," Jake shot his brother a dirty look. "You know most teachers don't listen to the words."
"Like I told Sammy, it's not like I expected her to act it out," Quinn told him.
"You didn't," Jake gaped.
"She was embarrassed," Quinn grinned.
"She's just fourteen," Jake reminded him for what had to be the hundredth time.
"I lost my virginity at fourteen," Quinn countered.
"What's going on?" Bryan came into the family room and heard the two brothers.
"I can't believe you said that," Jake stood up as quickly as he could with the full cast on his leg.
"Whoa, both of you knock it off," Bryan stepped between his brothers. "What's the matter?"
"Jakey heard about the song I danced to with Sam," Quinn said.
"Which one?" Bryan laughed.
"Guess," Quinn grinned.
"Oh boy," Bryan laughed harder. "I saw her blushing when she figured out the lyrics."
"You noticed she didn't stop though," Quinn laughed with him.
"Oh for…," Jake rubbed the back of his neck.
"Jakey, you should have seen her," Bryan kept laughing. "That Sammy is quite a dancer."
"You know what that means," Quinn raised an eyebrow as he looked at his little brother.
"I almost slipped and told her that," Bryan was really laughing now.
"Oh you didn't!" Quinn burst out laughing.
"You two are ridiculous," Jake grumbled.
"You only say that because you haven't danced yet," Bryan told him.
"Only because I'm not a guy whore," Jake retorted.
If he had hoped that would stop the twins, he was sadly mistaken. It only made them laugh harder.
"Jakey, Jakey," Quinn shook his head as if he were disappointed. "You're giving the Ely name a bad rep."
Jake's jaw dropped. Bryan snorted.
"I give up," Jake quickly made his way out of the family room, down the hallway and to his room.
They heard his door slam shut.
"He is so clueless," Quinn grinned.
Bryan nodded in agreement. The twins high fived each other before going into the kitchen to get something to snack on before they went to bed.
In his room, Jake flopped over on his back as he lay on his bed. His leg was really hurting and he didn't doubt that it was due to the stress he had been under wondering what was going on at the dance with Sam. Then he had really stressed out when Darrell had called him on his cell phone from the dance.
What had his brothers been thinking?
Jake snorted. He knew what his brothers had been thinking and what they had been thinking with! Wyatt would lock Sam up until she was thirty if he knew the type of song she had been dancing to. If Jake had been there, he probably would have stormed out onto the dance floor and hauled Sam off.
Wouldn't Sam love that!
She'd prolly hit him before she kicked him in the groin.
Jake laughed out loud. He couldn't help it. He could picture it in his mind as sure as if it had happened. She was his Brat and he didn't want her any other way.
