Chapter 1 (1/2)

Chapter One

I woke up on a lovely Monday morning, and I sprang out of bed; happy to get on with the day.

If only that would happen.

I am not a morning person, so when my alarm decided to make an appearance and pull me out of my happy place, I groaned and shut it off. It went off two more times before I picked it up and threw it across the room. That would be the third one this month.

I decided that I was not going to work today, and my bosses could suck it up and deal with it, well at least I didn't plan on going until my oh so charming brother barged into my room.

”Brylee Maria Acosta, get your ass out of bed”

”Fuck off” I groaned and turned, knowing that I would have no choice now, but I decided to try anyway.

”You're going to get fired” I snorted in an non ladylike fashion

”Right”

”I'm serious”

”Then who else would keep you and chase organized. Without me you guys wouldn't function” idiots, their organization is horrid. I would hate to see what his house would look like if he was single.

”I'll get a new secretary”

”Yeah, because that's all I do. They wouldn't do your slave labor. And plus, with no job, I'll have no money and I'll just have to move in with you.”

”The buildings paid off”

”Right, so why am I working again?” I asked

”Currently you're not” he pointed out, and then brought in the secret weapon

”Aunt Bry Bry!” Two little bodies jumped on my bed and I groaned and glared at my twin. He just smirked because he knew he won.

”Okay monsters, go get your daddy so I can get up and get ready for work” I got up and went to the shower. I was going to take my own sweet time with it.

Thirty minutes later I got out and picked a waist high skirt and white blouse with a black jacket, I slid into my red heels and sat down to do my hair and make up.

”Damn it Lee, hurry up!”

”Sorry, make-up and hair time, could take a while” I usually took about twenty minutes to shower and get ready, so he knows what I'm doing.

”Monica's birthday's tonight” he walked in and sat on my bed

”I know. Have you got a babysitter for the monsters?” I asked

”Yeah, so be there at like seven” we were going to a club tonight. Monica is my twin Riley's wife. They were together in high school, and they got married at seventeen. Their twins, which I call the monsters, who I love to death, are six. Monica was pregnant at sixteen, but they made it through.

”Okay” I shrugged

”And cover up, I don't need you half naked while the bar checks you out”

”Ri, I'm twenty three, I think I can dress myself” I rolled my eyes.

Riley and I were extremely close. After our parents died when we were nineteen, he was all I had. Well and Monica and the twins, but we had no other biological family.

”You ready yet?” he asked and I nodded, and we left to work together.

I walked into my office in between Chase and Riley's and got to work.

”Looking sexy as hell today Lee” someone whispered in my ear and I spun around and glared at him. I was used to this by now though, Chase had been Riley's best friend since elementary school, and he's always been a pain in the ass.

He was hot, I would never tell him that, but he had tanned skin and deep brown eyes. You could tell in anything he wore that his body was hot and ripped. The light stubble on his face just made him look sexy.

”If only you were as sexy as me” I sighed dramatically. ”Now out before I make you organize your own papers for the week” he groaned and left, he hated paper work.

”One day you'll give in Lee” he winked and I rolled my eyes. He's been saying that since high school.

Work dragged on, and Chase kept making comments every chance he got, and Riley kept smacking him in the back of the head. He was used to it too. Chase was a flirt and all but he wouldn't go there with me, he can be an idiot, but he wouldn't be that stupid.

Chase and Riley took over mom and dad's company when they passed. There good at business and are both incredibly smart. In high school they not only had the looks but they played sports and kept straight A's. girls just liked them that much more because they were smart, and while Riley stayed with Monica, Chase definitely took advantage of it. He's such a whore.

Well not really, he mostly stuck to one girl long time, but never a girlfriend, just a bed buddy.

When five came around we packed up and headed home. I went and searched my closet for something to wear, and it took forever, because while I'm twenty three, Riley likes to treat me like i'm sixteen and he would have a heart attack at some of the things I usually wore out to the club.

I finally settled on a tight red dress, it went about mid-thigh, so it was the longest clubbing dress I owned. It was backless and it had a low neckline. It was tight in all the right places. I touched up my make up and put on a pair of heels, they were white, but the heel itself was red with jewels on it. I just bought them, and haven't got to wear them out yet.

The drive to the club was short, and so I got there at about seven fifteen, I could have been on time, but I decided to wait till six thirty to get ready.

I hadn't gotten more than ten feet in when someone's back was pressed to mine.
