After talking to Gia for about fifteen minutes she excused herself to find Lynn and I went to find Josh. I went up to the third floor of his mansion of a house and entered his bedroom. He wasn't in there but he left out an old pair of jeans and a plain t shirt out for me. I changed into them very confused. I left his bedroom and went to the next one that I saw…it was the bathroom. Thankfully he wasn't in there. I would have been so embarrassed. The next room I entered seemed to be a home theater. Josh wasn't in there either. Then I went across the hall to find a familiar spare bedroom for Josh's sister. Then it came back to me from when Noelle and I broke in. I went to the other side and opened up the final door. I looked in the back corner and there was another door that I knew led to Josh's bedroom.
I walked towards the center of the room recognizing Josh's art studio and all his beautiful paintings of Easton, New York, and me. I heard the door close behind me and out of no where paint flew and hit me in the middle of my shirt. That explained the clothes.
I saw a bucket of paint and a brush next to where I was standing. I just noticed now the cover on the floor and the paintings.
"Well miss Brennan I told you I wouldn't tell you when." Josh said with a devilish grin on his face.
"Well Mr. Hollis, I didn't say I would play nice." I said with a smirk on my face. Then I splattered him with paint and ran over to him stealing his paintbrush.
He ran over to me and stole his paintbrush back by pouring some paint over my head. Then I splattered paint in his face and on his jeans. We must have been at the paint war for an hour because we heard his front door open and close while taking a short break.
"My parents must be home with my sister's and their boyfriends." Josh said.
"Well then let's get cleaned up." I said. We put all of his paint away and he ran down a floor to use his brother's bathroom to shower while I used his.
I took a look at myself in his mirror. I had a head full of green paint and there were splotches of yellow, orange, and blue on my face. My clothes were full of pink, purple, red, and green. It was better than the paint war before. I shredded my clothes and jumped in the shower. It took twenty minute alone to get the paint out of my hair. It took another ten to get it off of my arms and face. After that I took another five minuets to soak up the water. When I got out of the shower I ran into Josh's room with a towel on.
On my bed I found a pair of skinny jeans with a blue t-shirt that had black leopard print on it. Josh had picked out my outfit and even put out a cute black zip up hoody and black ugg boots. I threw on the jeans and t-shirt with the sweatshirt and then dried my hair curling it slightly so it had heavy waves.
I was about to run downstairs when I heard Josh coming up.
"Hey sorry it took me so long but it took like twenty minutes to get the paint out of my hair." I said.
"Don't worry about it but the thing is it wasn't my parents at the door it was Lynn and Gia. My parents just called saying we are supposed to meet them out for dinner at this fancy restaurant in town in like an hour. Did you bring a dress?" He asked.
"No sorry I thought it was just going to be a comforting weekend at your house." I said.
"Yeah don't worry I need to change into a tux quick but bring it up with Tess and Tori. Home cooked meals aren't good enough for there boyfriend. While we are out I know it is going to kill you but we should pick up three or four dresses." Josh said.
"Ok let me grab my shoes and can you delay dinner for like an hour?" I asked.
"Yeah let me make a call." Josh said.
He walked a few feet down the hall before opening his phone.
"Mom," Josh said I heard a small sound coming from his phone.
"Yeah can it wait like an extra hour?" He asked.
"We need to shop a little." He said.
After that I went into his room and grabbed my shoes and my phone. I texted Thomas really quickly. He could have warned me about the evil sisters. He was going to tell me but stopped himself.
Why didn't you tell me bout the evil sister's? I texted quickly.
Oh didn't Joshy warn u? He replied.
Yeah but I did think he was being a normal brother thanks for the warning tho cuz u new. They hate me but I got to go. Their high maintenance bf's must go out to eat so I need to shop. I will deal with you later. I replied.
Good to no you got there ok. Thomas replied. He really could have warned me.
I walked down the stairs and Josh was at the door.
"Let's go," He said smiling.
"So how'd it go with your mom?" I asked.
"Well she is delaying an hour and a half more by taking the long way home with lot's of traffic. She said they were complaining a ton so she found it humorous." Josh said. He smiled at me and we pulled out of his driveway.
The mall was about five minutes away Josh told me and he kept his hand on my knee the whole ride there. It sent tingles through my boy keeping me warm.
When we arrived at the mall Josh led me in, in a rush.
"We have to hurry," He said. We went to the first store we saw that had dresses. I picked a disco love strapless cocktail dress by Aiden Mattox.
It was blue and had a bow around the waist and it hit above my knees. I really liked it and got a thumbs up from Josh. We ran over and picked out a pair of semi high heeled silver shoes that matched.
The next dress I got was chic wonder ruched cocktail dress by Faviana.
It was red and also hit above the knees. It had straps and was pretty tight. We ran back over to the shoes and picked out a pair of red pumps that were pretty high heeled.
"Well we have two dresses and two pairs of shoes. We have about a half hour to forty five minutes left so what do you want to do, one or two more dresses?" Josh asked.
"However many I need." I said.
"Okay we will aim for two. I like the ones you have picked so far by the way." Josh said.
"Thanks," I said while blushing.
We hurried quickly back to the dresses where I picked out was pale blue dress with black print on it. It was a Jovani dress with a sweetheart neck line and a sash under the bust line. We went to pick out a pair o shoes and found simple black stiletto heels.
We had enough time for one more dress. We hurried back to the dresses where I found another gorgeous dress. It was a sleeveless purple dress that was skin tight and it had a bow at the waist. We found a pair of silver stilettos to match it. The heels I had picked out for theses worked for my first dress to so we put those heels back.
"Done," Josh and I said at the same time.
"So I shall go pay and don't argue because it was part of the deal." Josh said. I nodded and laughed.
We went up to the counter together and paid for the dresses and shoes.
"Ok so which one are you going to change into? Josh asked.
"Well how about the first one I bought." I said.
"Works for me go change in the car." He said. He gave me the keys and I rant to the car.
I slipped into the dress I had bought and put the shoes on. It looked really good. The stilettos were better than the other shoes by far.
Soon after I finished changing Josh was headed towards the car with a small gift bag in his hand.
"For you," He said as he entered the car. I opened the bag and found a jewelry box. Inside was a diamond necklace.
"I love it. I love you." I said. Josh put the necklace on and it went beautifully with the dress.
"So now off to dinner." Josh said.
"Yes off to dinner we are." I said.
"So sorry about the short notice for dresses, I think Lynn took Gia out and that is why we heard them come in." Josh said.
"No I am sorry for not thinking to bring any. I should have just thought to just in case." I said. Josh smiled at me and put his hand on my knee again. Everything felt right.
In no time we were at the place we were going to eat. Josh wasn't kidding. It was very fancy there. When we entered we were escorted to a private room where The Hollis's were sitting. Lynn and Gia still weren't there which made me feel better and not late. Tess had her hair curled even more than usual and Tori's hair was completely straightened. Tess had a white dress on that had colorful spots on it and Tori had on a pink dress with gold sparkles on it. Both dresses hit above the girls knees. They looked very nice.
Mrs. Hollis had on a long black gown with a white top. It was a good thing we went and bought dresses. We took our seats and shortly after Gia walked in with Lynn. She was wearing a sparkly silver dress that hit above her knees.
Once they sat down Mr. Hollis suggested introducing ourselves.
"Hello I am Brandon." I brown haired brown eyed boy said sitting next to Tess. He was very nice looking for a fourteen year old. No match for the Hollis boys on any circumstances though.
"Hello I am Chad." A boy with straight dirty blonde hair that looked golden, and green eyes said. He was sitting next to Tori.
"Hi Brandon and Chad, I am Reed." I said politely. I could feel their eyes staring at me. I hoped I didn't have anything in my teeth or something.
"Hi I am Josh, Tess and Tori's brother." Josh said. The boys looked at him and smiled. I think they admired him in a way.
"I am Gia." She said. They boys stared at her too.
"I am Lynn, their other brother." Lynn said.
"Well like now that we know each other let's stop talking about them and start talking about us." Tess said.
"Well I think I would like to learn about Reed and Gia." Brandon said.
"What is there to know about them? Reed is poor and ugly. You should have seen Josh's ex. She was hot. Gia is Gia." Tess said.
"Tess," Her mother said in a warning tone.
"Well it's true she is ugly." Tori said. I took a deep breath and glanced at Gia. She had an understanding look on her face.
The dinner seemed to drag on with Tess and Tori talking about how awesome they were and how not awesome I was. I think even their boyfriends looked annoyed.
The car ride home was almost silent. Josh broke the silence.
"Well, I am so sorry about my sisters." Josh said.
"I'll forgive you," I said.
"Well I really do love you Reed. I don't want my family to screw it up." Josh said.
"Your family couldn't screw it up if they tried. I love you and nothing will change that. Not your sisters. Not Thomas. Not anyone." I said.
We pulled into Josh's driveway and t was pretty late so everyone else had gone to bed already. Or at least they were on their own floors. Josh walked me up to his room.
"Reed I really love you." Josh said.
"I love you too Josh." I said. He pulled me in to kiss him. Soon we had fallen onto the bed and he pulled me down on top of him.
I started unbuttoning his shirt and undoing his tie. And he started to unzip my dress.
"Are you sure you are ready?" He asked. I nodded. Ad he pulled me down again ad finished unzipping my dress and he pulled it off as I pulled off his shirt.
That night felt so right. I had finally done it with Josh and it felt right. Better than with Thomas by far.
I woke up in the morning under the sheets with Josh's arms wrapped around me. I turned to look at him and he was awake.
"Good morning," I said.
"Good morning," He said smiling at me. He kissed me gently on the lips before sitting up.
"We are having breakfast at home. I think my mom said it was at like 9 and it is 8:30 now. Do you want to get ready?" Josh asked me.
"Sure," I said. I pressed my lips against his for one last kiss first. I got up and quickly put on some underwear and a long t-shirt. Then I looked for an outfit to wear. I threw on my favorite pair of flare jeans with a pink t-shirt that had some butterflies on it. When I turned around Josh was already in jeans and a t-shirt with paint near the collar.
"Let's go downstairs." I said.
Josh took my arm and led me down the stairs. We went into his living room where Tess and Tori were watching television with Brandon and Chad. Tess and Brandon were sitting on one couch and Chad and Tori on another. There was one loveseat left and Josh and I went over to sit down. I leaned towards him a little bit and he put his arm over my shoulder.
"What are you guys watching?" I asked friendly.
"Why do you care poor girl?" Tess said.
"I was just wondering." I said. They didn't even answer me before it was time for breakfast.
At the Hollis's huge table there was every type of breakfast food imaginable set up. It was the most delicious breakfast I had ever had. I kept seeing Brandon try to whisper something in Tess's ear and she kept giggling but Tori looked uncomfortable sitting next to Brandon and Chad. In my opinion Tori was just a little nicer.
"That breakfast was delicious." I said to Mrs. Hollis. I saw Tess sneaking upstairs with Brandon.
"I am going to try and make peace with your sisters." I said. He nodded and went to talk to Chad and led him to their garage to do something boys do. I went over to Tori.
"Hey I know you don't like me but why did you look so uncomfortable next to Brandon?" I asked. I saw a tear escape from her eye.
"Tess is all braggy about thin she has done at school but I know she hasn't done and is afraid to do and well I know Brandon pushes her. She isn't ready. I don't know but I feel like he will do things with her then say things to the school. Plus he doesn't even like her. He hits on me all the time and I know he knows the difference between us. I don't even know where she is now." Tori said sounding worried and upset.
"Oh my god, Tori stay here." I said and then I ran up the stairs. I heard voices on the floor above Josh's.
I took the stairs two at a time. Then the voices became clearer.
"Baby come on." It sounded like Brandon.
"Get off I am not ready," Tess said. Then I heard her scream and ran into the room with all the noises. I saw Brandon on top of Tess with her shirt off and her pants unzipped. Tess looked so scared.
"Hey get off her!" I screamed. Brandon looked up viciously.
"Make me.'' Brandon said. Then for the heck of it he pulled her bra off. He was restraining her and she couldn't move. And he started to kiss her and she moved her head trying to avoid him. I went over there and pulled him off with all my might. He finally came off and fell to the floor. Tess scurried over to get her shirt and bra.
"If someone isn't ready they aren't ready you pig. You are the most disgusting guy I have ever met and if you don't get out of this house in one minute I will have to escort you out and I will actually get help so I suggest get you stuff and get your ass out. You don't deserve someone as good as her. Good things come to those who wait so leave you pig and don't let me ever see your face again." I said with more venom then ever. As Brandon stomped out of the room with his bags in hand I heard Tess sobbing.
"I am so sorry Reed. I treated you like crap and you still came and helped me." Tess said.
"It's ok. Are you ok?" I asked.
"I am now. I feel like an idiot and a jerk I didn't treat you right. I am so sorry Reed." Tess said.
"Well I am happy to help. Guys like that are jerks." I said.
"I am sorry about saying you were ugly and all those things. You are really pretty actually and well Josh loves you about ten times more than that other Ivy girl. You can tell by the way he looks at you. We were just jealous. We haven't gotten to spend time with Josh since he went to that school and made friends. I just thought that if we were jerks that no one would want to come and we could have him to ourselves." Tess said. Only a second later did Tori enter the room.
"Why is Brandon leaving?" Tori asked. Tess explained to her what happened. Then they both came over and gave me a big hug. I had a feeling things were going to be a whole lot better now that Tess and Tori accepted me.
Well now you see why the twins were evil.
Do you feel bad for Tori? I know I do.
Do you think Josh will be happy they are now friends?
I decided one more chapter in New York then they will fly home. I think I will do two chapters of school and stuff then the final two or three chapters at the prom. Then I will do a story for scandal.
Should I base it off of this story or the real suspicion???
