1.7 Family Ties

Lydia’s house was small and cute, kind of like herself. Her presence was pleasant and I was so grateful that Leo had asked her to stay behind with me because I would have been drove crazy waiting for him by myself. The first night without Leo I just spent sleeping mostly, I didn’t get back to sleep after he left.

I can’t believe you’re doing this Brooke, Was all I was saying to myself in the mirror. I knew this was wrong and illegal, but it was worth it if It ment I got to be with Leo. 

Image

I didn’t know what Lydia’s plans were for me today yet but I was already kind of excited, even though I hated Mexico the last summer when I lived here the place always had me in amazement with it’s beauty. I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen and I figured Lydia must be making breakfast. I didn’t even know I was hungry until my stomach growled after the sent left my nose. On the way out to the kitchen I heard my phone buzzing on the table and my heart skipped a beat Leo?, It had to be I hadn’t heard from him yet. 

*Hey babe, Just wanted to let you know that the first night went fine. I love you and I hope Lydia is taking good care of you, enjoy your vacation.*

*Lydia is wonderful and so far everything has been great. Be careful! I love you too*

I couldn’t stop smiling down at my phone, I probably looked like an idiot. I’d never felt love like this, not even the 3 years I was with John.

Image

“Mmm, something smells delicious” You could hear my tummy growling through the house I was so hungry

“I got up and made some waffles, I had a weird craving for them. I hope you like blueberry” 

“I love blueberry, thanks”

Image

Lydia hummed while she was preparing our food and it was kind of calming. I was starting to see how much she was like Leo, It made me miss him even more.

“So I was talking to Conner this morning, they’re having a good run so far” 

“Yeah, Leo just texted me”

Lydia looked over at me with a sly grin on her face “Oh, that boy has got it bad”

“What do you mean?” 

“No one ever hears from him when he is out on a run, not until the day he gets back”

“Oh”

Lydia started humming again. When breakfast was finished and cleaned up we walked down the road to a little coffee shop that was close to the beach and it made me think of Margit’s and Alecia. I hadn’t spoke to her since the night of the opening to the roof top bar, I definitely didn’t have a job anymore. Or a friend for that matter.

Image

We got our drinks and found a table outside, the cool breeze was nice and the view was amazing

“So do you and Leo live together back in the city?” Lydia all of a sudden started 21 questions about mine and Leo’s relationship

“No, i’m currently renting a house and he has a studio apartment”

“Oh, have you met any of Leo’s ex things that want to beat you up yet?”

That took me off guard big time

“Uh, what?”

“you know, Leo has been with a lot of girls. He usually drives them crazy, unintentionally of course”

“Well that makes me feel better”

“No need to worry Brooke, I’m just kidding. About the beating up part, He has been with a hell of a lot of girls. That’s why I know it’s different with you”

“What do you mean?”

Lydia was confusing the fuck out of me, she leaned in closer to the table

Image

“I mean he has never told another girl that he loved her before. Other then me, He has never brought any home to meet me. He’s going to marry you I know it”

I nearly spit my coffee across the table

“Let’s not get ahead of our selves”

Lydia laughed again “Right, we need to get rid of that studio apartment first” 

The rest of our day was spent at the beach, just relaxing and tanning. But I couldn’t ignore the urge to always be looking over my shoulder afraid that I would see John, even though I never did.

Image

 

After the beach Lydia seemed pretty bummed out about something and she was always checking her phone. We both agreed that I would cook us some bbq for supper. Lydia hung around in the back garden while I was preparing everything and when I went and found her she was lid down on the bench with a pout on her face.

“Are you okay lydia?”

“Brooke, Can I tell you something?

“Of course, what’s on your mind?”

“Conners telling Leo right now, and i’m so scared..”

“What happened?” Panic started to sink in

Image 

“Oh don’t worry, the boys are fine. Well for now, Unless Leo decides to kill my boyfriend”

“What?”

“Brooke, i’m pregnant” 

“Holy fuck, how long have you known?” She was right, Leo might kill Conner

“For a little while. But Conner didn’t want me to say anything until he had Leo alone because he didn’t want him to get mad at me”

“That was sweet of him”

“Yeah, but Leo is probably going to kill me too” Lydia giggled a little worried sound

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Leo” I winked at her

“Thanks, you’re great Brooke. I really like talking to you” Lydia smiled that Lydia smile at meImage

 The next few days flew by, Lydia and I talked a lot. She was a awesome person for listening, I was going to miss her a lot when we had to leave and go back to the city. Today was the day that the boys returned home and Lydia had made us both hair appointments at her salon. It was a cute little hair shop on the other side of Mexico, she said that her hairdresser had been a family friend for years.

Image

“So lydia who’s your friend?” The girl had pink, purple, and blonde hair with one side shaved. That obviously took guts, but she rocked it

“This is Brooke, she’s Leo’s girlfriend” then Lydia turned to look at me “And Brooke this is Simoia, she has been my bestfriend since we were little”

“No way, you’re Leo’s girlfriend?! I seriously have had the biggest crush on him FOREVER. I’m soo jealous, what can I do for you ladies today” 

Simoia came over and started running her hands through my hair waiting for my response

“I’d like to be blonde, I think”

“You’re already pretty light, but i’ll see what I can do” Simoia winked at me and started my hair, when she was finished the color looked beautiful

ImageImage

Lydia looked at me with a big smile on her face “Brooke you were so ment to be blonde” 

“Thanks, I’ve wanted to do it forever” 

Simoia walked over to Lydia and laughed “Only a cut right?”

Image

“No, this time I actually want something different”

“I don’t know if I want to touch your virgin hair”

Lydia finally talked her into putting some red in her hair and it looked awesome

Image

 

“Holy shit bricks, what have I done” Lydia looked shocked when she looked at herself in the mirror

“You look great lyd, don’t worry” I couldn’t help but laugh at her

“It’s going to take awhile to get used too, but come one the boys will soon be home we got to get out of here!”

Once Lydia reminded me that today was the day they get back my heart started racing and the minutes started to drag out. We were only home five minutes, not even long enough for me to get a drink when I heard the front door open and Lydia squeal

Image

“How mad was he?”

“Oh, mad. He’s probably going to kick my ass later”

I couldn’t help but smile at Conner and Lydia, they were so in love and were going to be great parents

“Speaking of Leo, where is he?” I couldn’t wait any longer

“He’s outside with your new car” Conner grinned at me then looked back to Lydia

“Car?” I said as I walked to onto the front porch, Leo was standing next to a gorgeous red car

Image

 

“Hey B, like your new car?”

“You didn’t steal this one did you”

Leo smiled “not this one, picked it up at the dealership on the way home. Figured this would be better then a 20 hour cab ride back to the city, plus then you don’t have to take the bus to come to my apartment”

I ran straight into Leo’s arms and almost knocked him backwards

Image

 

“About that, I was thinking you could move into my house”

“I’d love too, we can talk about it on the way home. But I need to go talk to my irresponsible little sister”

“Leo, go easy on her. Shes scared”

He took my hand and led me into the house, not once letting go. Conner was telling Lydia all about the trip and she was watching him with that loving look again

Image

“Well Lydia, i’ll see you next run” Leo never said anything about the pregnancy yet

“Are you guys heading straight to the city now?”

“Yes, but first i’m going to go have protected sex with my girlfriend” There it was

“Leo, what did I tell you. Be good” I have Leo a little pat on the ass and shooed him out

“Thank you” Lydia mouthed to me when I turned back to wave
