CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Eric came in with balloons, and a gorgeous necklace that I didn’t want to know the price tag of. I was touched. “I know things have been tense around here since your sister moved in but I wanted to show you I still love you.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead and clasped the necklace around my neck.
“Thank you, Eric. This is so sweet.” I spun around and kissed him.
“I was thinking maybe we could all hang out tonight before bed and before Lucy goes to work.” This couldn’t be my man. He wanted to hang out with my sister and me?
“You sure?” I asked, running my fingers along the necklace.
“Yes. If Lucy is going to live here then we need to squash this tension. I’m willing to be the bigger person.” Eric had been avoiding Lucy like the plague lately, which made it hard for her to get close to him at all. I was beginning to think it was a good thing. Maybe he didn’t want to fuck my sister.
“Okay, sure. Hopefully, she’ll agree.”
“I don’t see why she wouldn’t want to. What else does she have to do?” I rolled my eyes at his arrogance and started dinner. “I was hoping that before Lucy comes in we could maybe…” He nibbled on my neck while I took food out of the fridge.
“Hey guys,” Lucy chirped. Eric groaned and dropped his arms from my waist.
“What’s up, Lucy?” Eric muttered. “Do you have anything to do before work today?” Eric asked.
“Nope. Why? You wanna have girl time with me?” She grinned.
“See? I’m trying to be nice.”
“Aww, I’m sorry, girl. Are you on your period right now? I have some pads upstairs. Nora, why don’t you let her borrow some of yours?”
“Lucy,” I warned with laughter dancing behind my faux stern tone.
“What? I’m trying to help out.”
“I was going to invite you to hang out with us.” Eric slammed his hand down on the counter a little harder than necessary.
“Jeez, calm down. Yes, I’d like to hang out with you guys this evening. Thank you for inviting me…Erica.” Lucy grabbed a piece of fruit and walked out of the kitchen while I tried to swallow my laughter.
“You see what happens when I try to be nice to that girl?”
“She’s fucking with you. Ignore her.”
“She’s a bitch.” Eric glared at the doorway like Lucy would reappear.
“Watch your mouth about my sister, Eric. I already told you…” I aimed a finger at him and he held his hands up in surrender. When he left the kitchen, I got a text from Lucy. She was upstairs in the guest room.
Luce: Erica’s coming up. I’m gonna fuck with him.
Me: What are you going to do?
Luce: Let him catch me half naked. Wanna watch?
Luce: Come to the stairs.
I was torn. I wanted to see what he’d do but then again I didn’t. What if he did or said something that I’d have to hurt him for? My stomach lurched and I made a split decision right then to go to the stairs and watch.
I saw Lucy walk into the hall, topless, her pert tits bouncing, and her nipples stiff. I was always so jealous of her nipple rings but I never had the heart to get them.
“Shit,” Eric cursed when he saw her. He didn’t turn his head though and his voice dripped with admiration and not regret. Lucy laughed and used her forearm to cover herself. “Pierced?” He smirked.
“Pierced.Everywhere.” She bit her bottom lip and Eric took a sweeping glance around. I pressed myself flat against the wall.
“You’re trouble, Lucy.”
