Flirting with the Frenemy (Bro Code #1)(70)

Her eyes go wide.

Then wider.

Her mouth follows suit.

“Wyatt,” she whispers.

That raging hard ache in my cock disappears, because something’s wrong.

Something’s seriously fucking wrong.

“What? What is it?”

“Beck—” she starts.

My veins freeze over. For all the shit I’ve given him, if something happened to Beck—

“No, no,” she says quickly. “He’s okay. He’s okay. But—the jokes. The pranks. His mouth. He—”

She cuts herself off and holds her phone in front of my face.

I read the first text from Monica.

Another from her mom.

One’s come in from Levi, and I realize if I had my phone on me, it would probably be blowing up too, but my phone’s upstairs.

And then there’s the picture.

The picture of a tweet.

Sent by Beck.

Looks like something he’d say to Ellie, but he most definitely did not send that Tweet to his sister.

“He’s fucking dead,” I say, my own eyeballs like saucers.

“His career is,” she whispers back.

We make eye contact.

“Surprise engagement party tomorrow night at home,” I croak out. “He’s coming.”

She’s off me in a heartbeat, putting her phone to her ear, undoubtedly calling the dumbass. “He’s home?” she asks me while I hear his voicemail pick up.

“Flying in overnight.”

I’m on my feet now too.

I don’t care how much shit he gives me for dating his sister—or how many other pranks he’s pulled on me this past year alone—he’s my brother.

And he just made the mistake of his life.

“I’ll start packing,” I say while I throw on my shirt.

She leaves her sports bra on the ground and struggles into her tank top. “I’m calling Mom and Dad.”

“Tucker can sleep in the car.”

She winces. “But the festival—”

“Ellie.”

She studies me a minute, then nods.

Would I rather spend the night making her moan my name?

Fuck, yes.

But family comes first. And if the way Ellie’s phone is blowing up all over again is any indication, family needs her right now.

And me.

And every last one of the guys from the neighborhood.

For what Beck just did, he’s going to need all the support he can get.

“Ellie?” I say softly while I trail her up the stairs.

“What?”

“You know this isn’t because we got engaged, right? We don’t actually cause disasters.”

She pauses to look at me, and then we both laugh. Except neither one of us actually thinks it’s funny.

We’re loading up the car before she says any more about it. Tucker’s objecting to being strapped into his booster seat in the middle of the night, and Ellie’s about to climb in to sit next to him and snuggle him as best she can in the car when she turns to look at me.

“We really are cursed,” she says slowly, but then a smile pops out. “But there’s no one in the world I’d rather be cursed with.”
