I sat on the cheap, flowered couch, staring into the sea of faces I did not recognize. After all, these were her and her brothers’ friends, not mine... I looked away and to my drink that sat on the table in front of me.“You’re very beautiful” I hear a deep, seductive voice say to me.I picked my head up and looked over my shoulder, and felt a strong urge to run as I saw my girlfriend's unbelievably attractive brother sitting next to me.“Ah..
