Attest (Centrifuge Duet Book 2)(47)
“Dad, you can’t let her go out with him. He’s bad fucking news. He goes through women like you wouldn’t believe. I won’t have my sister getting humped and dumped by some farmer’s asshole kid.” Benji points at me. “You’re way too good for him, Mads.”
“Oh, shut up, Benjamin.” My blood boils at his insinuation that Brendan will be able to get me into bed after one date. I have more respect for myself than that. I hadn’t kissed anyone properly until Brendan last night—let alone slept with them—and it’d take much more than one date for me to even consider it. I’m saving myself for an all-consuming love like my parents. I don’t care if it makes me seem old fashioned or weird. And if Brendan, or any other man doesn't like that, that's their problem, not mine. “I’m not a slut like you. It’s one date. It mightn’t even go any further than that. It’s my choice if it does.”
“I agree, baby girl,” Dad interrupts. His voice has dropped a notch; a sign he’s working himself into a rage at Benji for daring to question his decision. Pointing one of his sausage-like fingers in Benji’s face, he stares at him through narrowed eyes that are designed to intimidate. My twin struggles to keep from retreating, barely holding his ground in the face of Dad’s ire. If I wasn't so pissed at him, I'd be proud. Even as the mouthiest of my siblings, I still find it hard to directly question Dad. “She has a good head on her shoulders, which is more than I can say for you most of the fucking time. I’ve warned that kid that I'll fuck him up if he hurts her, and I know she’ll come to me if he fucks up in any way.”
“You’re being fucking stupid, Mads. You’re gonna get hurt,” Benji yells at me, giving up arguing with Dad. He charges inside, slamming the back door behind him.
Dad shakes his head at me in sympathy and I shrug, brushing aside Benji’s prediction.
We have no idea how right Benji will end up being.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First up, I’d like to thank the book gods (or whichever deity looks over authors who are struggling) for the strength to continue with this book when it all looked lost. It has been a crazy journey and I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see the back of a book ever.
A huge thank you to Philena Heaney-Allen, Bonnie Mancuso, Nik Tyneshia Brewer, Jenna Strickhouser, Jennifer McClean, Lauren McClean, Kaye Springett, Elaine Holcomb, Erica Cunningham, Melissa Gray, Tara Sloane, Angela Nutley, JoJo Reeves, Robyn Corcoran, Nickie Sale, Renee Hills-Henson, Jeneane Johnston, Louise Hallett, Christina Balaz, Leticia Hernandez, Tyi Lei Johnson, Kim Jones, Anna Rives, and a very special extra thanks combine with an apology to anyone I’ve forgotten! I find it hard to put into words how much you support means to me. Just know that even when I don’t get around to commenting, I still see what you’re doing and it makes my day brighter.
Finally, massive acknowledgement must go to Mick—who puts up with mw when I’m pissed at the world—and my kids, Dylan and Mickayla, who know that when I start cursing, it’s time to make me a cup of tea <3
