Promise Me (RLU #1)

by Carlie Jean

To all the girls that have been through some shit and want that soft kind of love, the one that feels like a cozy blanket on a fall night, this is for you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since my mom passed, it’s to make time for those who matter as much as possible. Because you never know when you won’t be able to.

“Uh,” Nate coughs. I jump back from Cameron, feeling like we just got caught in the act because kissing him always feels so sensual and private. Cameron gently moves me back in front of him. I don’t question it and just roll with it. I laugh awkwardly. “Nate, this is my boyfriend Cameron. Cameron, this is my brother, Nate.” “Hey, it’s nice to meet you,” Cameron says, leaning around me to shake my brother’s hand. It’s then that I feel how hard he is against my back. My brother grimaces. “Yeah, it’s nice to meet you too. Although, I’d prefer it if you didn’t have a boner, but beggars can’t be choosers.” Oh. My. Fuck. “Nate,” I screech, telling him with my eyes to stop being an ass. Cameron laughs behind me. “Agreed.” Nate folds his arms over his chest, a grin on his face. “A guy who can take a joke, good. I like him already, sis.”
