Chase (Resisting Love #1)(6)

“My eyes are up here you perve!” I hiss.

“So since we’ve decided we can walk around the house in our pajamas in the morning, expect to see me naked tomorrow.” He laughs again and walks off. I shake my head and go back into my room, taking my soda with me.

That evening, I walk out of my room and into the lounge area, wanting to watch a movie. Kade and James are sitting there, both with a girl each. I slowly take a step back, trying to leave without being noticed. I think I’m safe when I hear a rumbled, “Princess get over here.” I sigh. Kade. I stick my head inside the room.

“Yes?” I ask innocently.

“Get your butt in here,” he says with humor in his voice.

I groan and walk into the room taking a seat on the lone recliner. I realize the girls they are with are twins, both blonde bombshells. They are both staring at me like they want to kill me. I look from one to the other, then back at Kade, raising a sardonic brow. His lip twitches. I look over at James who is glancing over at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. I ignore them and start watching the movie, which happens to be The Avengers. About twenty minutes later I glance over and Barbie one is kissing Kade’s neck, and Barbie two is playing with James’s lip ring with her tongue. Okay then.

I stand up.

“Well. I’m just going to..” I gesture to outside the door, “Because this is just. Awkward.” I walk out, hearing the boys’ chuckle behind me. Those two!

The next morning I’m in the kitchen, fully dressed, when Kade walks into the kitchen. Butt naked. I scream and cover my eyes with my hands.

“Kade!” I yell.

“What? I warned you,” he says nonchalantly.

“Kade go and get dressed right now! And I better not see your naked ass again or I’m going to be the biggest cock block. EVER!” I hiss at him.

He just laughs gleefully and takes his time around the kitchen. That is it!

Later that night, the Barbie twins come over again. I’m surprised, I’ll admit. Two nights in a row must be the biggest commitment these guys have ever made. They skip the preliminaries, and head straight for their bedrooms. I knock on Kade’s door once but he doesn’t answer. So I start banging on it. He finally answers it, wearing nothing but a harsh scowl. He sees me and his eyes narrow menacingly.

“Hi,” I say cheerily.

“Someone better be dying princess,” he threatens.

My smile gets bigger. “Was just wondering if you wanted to hang out?” I ask innocently.

Kade growls, and slams the door, and I burst out laughing. I knock again and the door opens instantly this time.

“Unless you want to join us, I suggest you stop,” Kade says followed by a long suffering sigh.

I fold my arms against my chest, and say nothing. Kade also folds his arms and continues to hold my stare. I hear a frustrated ‘Kade!’ in the background, and I give him a smug look.

A few moments pass.

“Fine!” he caves, “You won’t see me naked around the house again. Well played Layla, well played.” He chuckles, pats me on the head and slams the door again.

I walk, half asleep, to the bathroom, shuffling my feet, ready for a shower. When I open the bathroom door I get the shock of my life.

Kade.

In the shower.

Butt naked (Obviously).

But that wasn’t even the worst part. Kade wasn’t alone. I scream. The woman wraps the shower curtain around her, and Kade just steps out, smiling, in all his naked glory.

“Good morning Layla. Shower’s free!”

The man has no shame.

I turn and run to my room, hearing Kade laugh behind me.

I bury my head in my pillow.

An hour or so later when I finally gather enough courage to face Kade again. I walk into the kitchen and stand in front of him. He’s tying his blonde hair at the nape of his neck with a manly leather band, and gives me a smirk when he sees me.

“Finally out of hiding?” he teases.

“Look, I’m going to pretend that never happened,” I say sagely.

“Pretend what never happened?” asks James as he walks into the kitchen.

Oh great, here we go.

“Layla walked in on Sarah and I in the shower,” Kade mentions casually.

James laughs, “You are going to scar the poor girl for life bro.”

“Hey, she walked in.”

“Yeah, because the door wasn’t locked! Boundaries Kade! We need some,” I say in a singsong voice. “I think I should have a bathroom to myself. You two can share. Come on, please?” I add, batting my eyelashes.

“I’ll think about it,” Kade says thoughtfully.

“You do that. By the way, make sure you don’t kill someone with that thing,” I say pointing towards his crotch.

I’m serious. It was massive.

Kade gives me a full on belly laugh.

I can hear James laughing too.

I retreat to my room.

The next day when I go into the bathroom, all of Kade’s stuff is gone.

He moved to James’ bathroom for me!

I do a little victory dance.

I’m being lazy, lounging around on the couch when my phone beeps with a text from my best friend Nikki. Nikki and I have been friends since grade two. We sat next to each other in class, and we complimented each other perfectly. I was a little shy and Nikki was... not. We have been partners in crime ever since.
