“Oh shit, you should have just come over then. You waiting to pick her up? I swear you’re so much nicer to her than I am to my sister.” He chuckles and I cringe at his comment wondering how I’m going to explain how different my relationship with Gabrielle is compared to him and his sister.

“Uh…maybe, but probably not,” I lie, knowing damn well I’m not leaving this street without her with me. “It just depends on how late she wants to stay out.” I scroll through my feed and notice that Harper already has a new story posted since the last time I looked at it four minutes ago. I tap it and see Harper and Gabrielle taking a shot followed by Gabrielle shaking her hips for the camera. I grit my teeth trying to temper the sting of the ache in my dick watching her when Isaac chuckles.

“Your sister is a smoke show, I swear. Who’s blondie though? She’s hot as fuck.” I set my phone down and let out a sigh trying to ignore his comment about Gabrielle as I wonder if this could be a reason to go and see my girl.

“Her roommate.” I shoot him a look with a grin. “She’s seeing someone but…I mean I don’t know how serious it is. If you want to meet her, we can go over there.”

“I wouldn’t be opposed.” He laughs and downs the shot that was placed in front of him.

I take the shot and then a deep breath. “So, if we go over there, there’s probably something you should know.”

His eyes don’t leave the television. “Oh yeah? What’s that?”

“Isaac, this is serious,” I tell him and his eyes finally pull away from the television and land on me.

He slaps the bar in front of him. “Oh, we need more shots?”

“Maybe.”

He waves over the bartender and orders another round before turning back to me. “Okay, what’s up?” he says and I let out a breath. If I was asking Gabrielle to tell Harper tonight, I should be able to tell Isaac.

“It’s an awkward thing to say and I have no idea how to put it so I’ll just spit it out…” I let out a breath. “Gabrielle and I have been exploring a new type of relationship.” I rub a hand over my mouth. I sound like a fucking girl. “We’re sleeping together.”

He narrows his eyes in confusion. “Like…your sister?”

“Adopted sister.”

“Didn’t your folks adopt her when she was like a baby?”
