-WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?-

Chase's POV

Thorn's been acting weird since his step sister live at their house. I know that there's something that's going on in his head, I mean..after all he's my cousin. The way he looked at her Everytime I caught him. The way he acts around her as if she's a fragile thing that in one mistake, she'll be broken to pieces.

He told me before how he hates her to the core but now, it seemed like the table turned when I saw how he landed that blow on that guy's cheek who tried to kiss Francine.

"We should go back and check them." I suddenly muttered causing Kyle to stepped on the break, and thankfully I was on my seat belt but Bruce kissed the back of the seat because he's not on one.

"Yeah, I thought that too. I mean, seeing Thorn a while ago..who knows what might he do to Francine." He mumbled as Bruce and I agreed.

Turning to the wheel, he made a U turn then drive our way to Thorn's house.

"By the way, that guy on the cafe.. isn't that Grayson?" I looked at Bruce at the back seat.

"Yeah, that's Grayson, Grayson Duncan..the new guy in town. I heard he just came back last week tho I don't know what's the reason." Kyle responded as I sat there in silence.

Jealousy is the case then..

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

After an hour of driving we finally reached their house.

"Hello?? Thorn bro!! Let us in!!" Kyle shouted as he knocked once again and we wait for the door to open.

Raising his hand to knock again, the door suddenly opened revealing Thorn in his frustrated face.
He didn't even tried to hide how frustrated he is. But, about what?

"Guys what are you all doing here this late?" He cleared his throat as he spoke in a groggy tone not even widening the door for us.
This is not so like him.

"Can we get inside first?" I looked at him as I raised a box of pizza with caned cola and he nodded, slowly opening the door for us to enter.

Thankfully we decided to get one.

Bruce found his usual spot in the house then turned the TV on as he made himself comfortable and so does Kyle.

I looked around desperately, searching for one person as I sighed disappointedly when I didn't saw her anywhere.
I was gonna ask, but I don't want him to think anything.

"So what are you all doing here this late at night? As far as I remember I didn't called for a meeting today?" He leaned on the wall while looking at us questionably with his both hands in his pockets.

While I'm looking upstairs, Kyle started to speak to Thorn.

Francine, where are you?

"What happened bro?" He took the seat across Bruce then picked up a slice of pizza before munching on it.

"Why are you asking? You saw it already." He boringly muttered as we heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

She's wearing a denim blue shorts that emphasized the size of her rear paired with white crop top with a crown design on the left side. Her long hair are freely flowing down her back as it brushed against her body everytime she moves.

"Hey sweet Francine." Kyle got up giving her a big hug as I saw her flinched. I didn't know if they noticed it but I surely does.

Something's not fucking right. I need to know what happened after that incident at the cafe.

I know Thorn enough.

"Hey.." she whispered as she bowed her head down hiding her face to us.

"Fran..can you get us some beer?"
Thorn instructed as he locked eyes on her briefly before she looked away giving him a nod.

"I'll help." I got up and walked with her without waiting for his answer. I'm sure Kyle and Bruce are already interrogating him about what happened and that's a good one for me because I'll have time to talk to her.

She seemed like didn't noticed my presence as she bent down the fridge looking for some beers, giving me a free view of her perfect ass.

Gulping hard, images of her in the swimming pool with only her cream colored bikini flashback on my mind. The way her body moved on the water like a mermaid and her round ass and perky boobs that haunts me every night after the party, made me crazy.

"C-chase ..w-what are you doing here?" I was pulled out on my own trance when I heard her shocked voice. I looked at her angelic face and I can't help but to be mesmerized by how beautiful she is.

"I'm here to help." Trying hard to hide the lust in my voice I took the bottles on her hand and almost lose myself when I felt her silky smooth hands on mine. They felt heaven even though I felt it in just a short time.

"T-thanks then." She smiled at me and I happily returned it back as she turned around to get more not knowing what are the lewd things that's running through my mind.

I won't deny that the moment I laid my eyes on her, she already caught me. But the moment I found out that she'll be my cousin because her mom is marrying Thorn's father, my uncle.
I listed her already on my off limits list.
I'm having this urge to protect her and I don't know why. I mean, she's a stranger.. so why?

Because you like her moron.

I mentally slapped myself as I heard this little voice inside my head.

Walking towards her, I rested my hands over her hips that made her jumped and stumbled on her feet but I caught her quickly pulling her back againsts my chest.

"Oh my God!" She gasped remaining still on me as she tried to calm herself. I instantly felt guilty, I shouldn't have done that, what if I didn't caught her in time. She might've lying on the floor in pain right now.

"I-I'm sorry Francine, I didn't mean to startle you." I whispered but it came out in a husky tone without moving an inch away her body.

Damn chase, think straight.

"I-it's fine." She turned around freeing herself from my grasped as I reluctantly let her go.

"Let's go." As she was about to grab the bottles I hold her wrist turning her to me as I pulled her closer but enough to make her comfortable.

"What happened after the incident at the cafe? Did ..he do something to you?" There it is, I finally uttered what I want to say from the first place.

She looked at me with widened eyes as her cheeks started to became red then she quickly looked away from me, getting her hand back from me which I let her do.

What in the world is that reaction is? Now I'm sure that something must've happened.

"N-nothing.." she quietly answered without returning her eyes on me.

I was about to speak when I heard Thorn's voice asking about the beer from the living room, and she ran as fast as she can leaving me on the kitchen, wondering.

I felt like a child. A child that lost his toy because of another kid.

A kid that wants the toy as well.

Francine Bellamy...

...What did you do to me?
