I am so fucking screwed. Mental note rant in diary later!

             
He’s quiet all the way to the coffee shop, he normally is. This is our third time going. I have two things I’m worried about while walking with him each time. The fact I spend more time with him and the fact everyone on campus can see us together. It won’t be long before shit gets started. But—what the hell do I care?

Yes, that’s right they can kiss my ass. I’ll even bend over for them.

As soon as we enter the coffee shop all eyes are on us. I mentally groan.

             
“Don’t worry about them Sexy, they’re just jealous. So double chocolate espresso again Jade,” he winks.

I’m a goner, such a goner. It’s a good thing I didn’t wear flipping panties, they would indeed be fucking soaked.

              “Yeah, Bray, that would be great thanks.” I head on over to our booth it’s actually free. Shocking considering this is the best coffee shop on campus. The hustle and bustle is loud, so we always sit in the very back. We’re not like the other students playing watchers; being nosy and sniffen everyone’s shit out as they pass by.

“Here
sexy girl,” Brayden hands me my espresso.
Yum!

“Thank you Bray,” I take a sip. “So—whatcha wanna talk about today?” I ask.

              Brayden actually hesitates a moment before sighing and setting his coffee on the table. “Actually, I wanted to discuss something with you,” he fidgets.

Well hells and cow bells.

“Okay—,” I drag out. “What would you like to discuss?” I know my voice sounds hesitant.

              “Well, I enjoy spending time with you, at first it was just great conversation, but now I’m finding myself more and more attracted to you. But, I know you are dating Layden and sleeping with Dean. So, you see my fucking dilemma Jade? I can’t have you! And that right there pisses me off,” he growls. “And, fucking Nate is going around campus saying you will be his, it’s all bullshit really,” he sighs. “What I’m trying to say is would you be willing to just date me, we don’t have to do anything just date see how things go? I mean we’re young right nothing has to be serious? Date around see how things go? You’re too special Jade for me not to just try.” He cuts me deep with his coal black eyes.

Oh man! What am I supposed to say to this? I am young, but all three brothers. That’s cutting into family ties I don’t know how I feel about that shit.

I take a huge breath.

— Brayden’s Thoughts

She’s sitting there looking all fucking sexy and she takes a huge fucking breath and I don’t know what to do with that shit. That—I think is a bad fucking sign. I know this is asking a lot of her. But, I have no other damn choice. I am stuck, stuck in this freaking chaos that surrounds sexy Jade. But, hell if she isn’t worth it. I’m addicted to everything about her and yet, I’ve not kissed her, fucked her and with all that I still adore her. Adore, I internally roll my eyes at sounding like a fucking pansy ass bitch. She’s sexy, witty, smart and doesn’t give a rats ass about what people say about her. Layden and Dean both have warned me, brothers or not she’s way too fucking special to pass up. Our brotherhood has taken worse hits.
I think!

Chapter Two — Part One — Jade

Dear Mental College Diary,

Do not forget to write this shit down.

I mean it self!

Shamrock the fuck out before I lose it!

I look at Brayden with my mouth hanging right open. I know he’s looking for a damn response, but my head is swirling for one. “I…I really don’t know what to say Brayden of course I’m attracted to you and I loved spending this past week with you. But, hell like you said I’m already fucking Dean and dating Layden again. You know I’m the last person to give a shit about what people think. I just don’t want to cause turmoil between you and your brothers,” I whisper.

“How about this sexy girl, we all four sit down and have a talk — talk about how we’re young, you’re attracted to all three of us. We can agree to like a dating schedule. But, I am only interested in you and I would make sure my brothers were too. If one is caught out and it’s not with you. It’s done their out of the race to win you over or to date you, whatever the hell you want to call this. But, I know I want to try. I really fucking dig you Jade,” and there goes that piercing coal stare again.

He’s got a point, people date more than one person at a time it’s been done. Can I do this? Can my mind frame fucking do this?
 

“Okay, we can talk to the guys and see what they say,” I whisper.

“Fucking hell yes, Jade, come on,” he drags me outta the booth.

“Hey nut ball where the hell we going?” I tease.

“Well, we got a conversation to have with my brothers don’t we? I am dead fucking serious
sexy, we’re taking care of this shit right now.” 

I start to hyperventilate. I mean isn’t this every girls damn dream? You know, where you can date three hot guys at once? But, why am I so nervous?

I don’t get fucking nervous!  These guys are killing me and it’s just begun.

Brayden digs out his sleeky new Galaxy phone and starts texting away. Gee, wonder who he’s texting. I roll my eyes. Because, I know for a fact he is already setting up our pow wow with his brothers. We walk all the way to his parents beach house which needless to say really isn’t all that far from campus. Takes all but twenty minutes to get there. As the huge beach house comes into view I see Dean’s black Range Rover already parked next to Layden’s cherry red Camaro.

Damn donkey balls I was hoping for some breathing room before I had to have this shit conversation!

“You ready for this Sexy?” Brayden takes my hand and drags me through the beautiful flowered walkway all the way up to the house. “Not really Bray this all seems so
farfetched. I can almost bet Dean doesn’t go for it,” I hiss.

“You would be surprised Jade,” he mumbles. 

Wait! What?

“What do you mean I would be surprised? Is there something you’re not te
lling me?” I pull from his grip causing him to chuckle.

“C’mon Sexy, let’s get this over with,” he takes my hand again. We walk through the door and the voices that were speaking now have stopped. First, Dean comes into view. Oh my sweet jesus! He looks fine as hell in a business suit.

“What is this about Brayden, dad was pissed when I upped and left, you know that bastard doesn’t like not having his way.” Dean crosses his arms across that beautiful Mr. Chiseled chest. “I told ya’ll we needed to have a chat,” Brayden proceeds to drag me over to the bar. “Sit,” he commands. And, boy do I ever fucking sit. Strong dominance like Layden, I mentally stick that in a file in my head and quickly label it.

“Things I must experience.”

Crab fucking cakes. See— hussy whore here who wants what all these men want.

Layden rounds the bar with a beer in his hand. Shit my sexy ruggedly handsome Lay. He leans onto the bar and crosses his ankles making him look calm, cool and collective. Layden and Brayden’s coal black eyes will be the death of me. I swear it on my vintage Victoria Secret 1950’s lingerie set. They may not really be vintage, but Victoria’s Secret had an era year and I happen to have picked up this bad ass set.

Shit! Jade focus bitch!

While I
’m mentally cursing myself and gulping back my nervousness Brayden is pouring us all shots of— yes you guessed it. Hennessey.

“So, Bro you going to tell us why you’re here with Jade,” Layden growls.

“In due time my inpatient brother,” he smirks.

“Brayden don’t play with them. Let’s just get on with it. It was your idea so you’re pitching it.” I croak. I mean shit this is
farfetched.

“Well—my dearest fucking brothers, I would like to pitch an idea about,” he waves his hand in the air and then points to me. “We all seem to care for her. I’m drawn to her, I know Layden fucking loves her and I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing with her Dean besides fucking her,” he ponders off.

“I care for her that’s all that matters,” Dean growls.

I sigh. “Loo
k guys stay calm let him finish please,” I beg.

“Okay
back to point of hand. I suggest we all date her,” he doesn’t get to finish before Layden’s hands are wrapped around his throat.

“You want to fucking share Jade? What in the fuck is wrong with you,” Lay growls.

“Layden—baby let him go, now!” I bark.

He looks at me with hatred in his eyes, those cold black irises hitting me and I feel the fire sizzling out of his anger. Layden huffs and
let’s go only to pour himself another shot.

“Like I was saying
we all date her, we all care for her. We’re all young. And let’s face it Layden she isn’t just going to give you back her fucking heart. You have to earn that shit back. She cares for us all. Let’s, what’s that damn word?” Brayden thinks for a second. “Oh yes, let’s woo her. Let her judge and pick who she wants to be with.” He downs another shot like he’s done speaking.

“You want her to date all three of us,” Dean asks incredulously.

“Yes all three.” Bray states.

Dean looks over at me and I feel myself shrink into a fetal position. Dean and I share a bond, I may not know what that bond is yet, but I do know it’s there.

“Angel Kisses do you want this,” he rounds the bar and cups my chin in his hand. I look up into his smoldering green eyes. I search for some kind of answer from him and I receive none and that right there is why the word “Yes,” whispers from my lips — like some kind of unspoken dirty word. Dean sighs and lets go of my chin only to pour himself another shot as well.

“So—let me get this fucking straig
ht you want us all to date her but what happens if she chooses one of us or none of us. We can’t fight over a girl. We’ve done this before and if I can remind you it didn’t go over so well,” Layden speaks quietly as if in remembrance.

WTF! They
’ve done this before?

“You’ve…you’ve done this before,” I stammer out. They all pause as if they forgot Layden spoke some secret oath of silence on the matter. I turn around as I feel tears form in my eyes. I’m not fucking special they just always like the same girl. I’m nothing, but a pure fucking challenge to them. That’s when the tears stop flowing and I turn around with a vengeance in my stare.

—Layden’s Thoughts

I don’t know what the fuck I was thinking releasing that information to Jade. As soon as the words left my mouth. The silence was deafening. She immediately clammed up and turned around. I know Jade, she’s hardcore, but when her emotions get the best of her she runs and this— she will run from. Fuck! I don’t want her to run I fucking love this girl. I fucked up with bimbo ass blondie and I regret that mistake with everything I am.
Things to know about Jade from my perspective.

—She doesn’t do boring. She likes fun. She’s experimental in bed. She has a heart of gold towards the ones she cares about. And the main reason. The main fucking reason I love Jade. My Jade. Is because that girl rocks my soul. She shatters it with each look, each bat of her eyelashes. Her laugh, her tears. Fuck it I just fucking love her. And if I have to share her to win her back, so fucking be it. But, as I’m ranting in my head I see her shoulders quiver. Fuck! I forgot about my slip up. I totally forgot about Ty that bitch who ruined my brotherhood with my brothers back in high school. Tyson Pierson. The bitch who ruined us our junior and senior year of high school.  Our first love, well I should say Dean’s first love more like Brayden and I’s first obsession. The girl who stole all three
brothers’ virginity's. Yeah that bitch did a number on us. As I am remembering Ty and the way she fucked us over. Jade flies around and the look in her eyes scares even me. It’s a look to fucking kill. I look from her to Dean and his eyes go wide. This is one secret he doesn’t want to share and now he might have too. I can already see the sweat pouring from his brow. FUCK!
