But Who's Counting?

Chapter Twenty: "Are you drunk?"

"Her ass is huge. Have you been together since that night?" He whispers.

"Okay, I don't wanna spread her business out but, yes."

"Has she been with anyone else?"

My heart stopped for a second, I swear.

Has she been with someone else?

I swear anybody else who has been with he-

"And then she shook her ass in front of my face and I wanted to leave because it smelt like straight ... ass." Anthony says, rather loudly. He was attempting to quickly change the subject since Sophia and my Mom were coming back inside.

His plan immediately backfired, which he realized since the blush took over his face while my mother scolded him and Maddison and Maya both called for him to put money in the swear jar.

"Anthony Malik Parker, have you lost your damn mind?" My mom scolds her son. I glance back, seeing her hand gripping Sophia's hand. Sophia is wiping her eyes and when she drops her hand she sees me. She smiles at me and I monitor for her to come here.

She can't move because of my moms iron grip.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"You have four sisters! Act like it."

"Alex is the one getting them pregnant and not putting a ring on it." Anthony immediately throws me under the bus, causing me to stand up.

"I'm putting a ring on this one right here." I say, winking at Sophia as I walk towards her. After having to practically pry my moms hand off of her.

I grab her hand and whisk her right back out to the balcony, desperate to know what my mom said.

I close the door, checking to make sure nobody was looking. When I was sure no body was paying attention, I pressed my lips to hers.

"I'm sorry about Maya. She was worried." I apologize as she smiles against my lips. From the way she was acting today, you'd think we were together.

In my head, we are together.

"It's fine. I love your mom." Sophia comments. I shrug. I figured she would like my mom. They are alike in multiple ways and they would have to get used to each other whether they liked it or not.

"What'd she say?" I finally question. Sophia just shrugs and turns around. She looks over the railing which stands over the cars and driveway. Her teasing smile has me to question her again.

"What do you mean you don't know? You don't know or won't tell me?"

"I won't tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because you were being a dick earlier." She smiles at me before reaching for the door knob. I grab her wrist and push her against the wall. Her back it's the wall and her eyes rush up to mine. When I look into them, all I see is desire and want.

So, that's what this is about.

I bring my lips to her ear, smiling against it. "I told you if you were a good girl, I'd reward you."

"And am I being a good girl, Daddy?" She teases, running her fingers across my jaw. I tense up and feel myself begin to swell.

"We're leaving."

"I want to spend time with Andrew and Anthony. They're fun."

"Well, we are about to go have a whole bunch of fun." I say, nipping at her ear. I pressed my lips underneath her ear and suck harshly, making sure to leave a mark (incase the ones from earlier weren't enough).
