"Be honest. And don't start apologizing or doing any of the 'no, you don't need to' stuff, because that's just going to make her feel rejected."

She walked back over and sat down on the bed. "All right, time to bring Brandy back out, she thinks it's just been a minute or so, and I'm doing my damnedest to not let her know I shoved her into the backseat. Ready? This isn't going to be pretty."

Trev nodded again, "I'm ready."

Brandy blinked, and when she looked up there were tears welling up in her green eyes. "I... think that I need to go," she managed, trying to keep the tiny shreds of composure that she had left.

Trev felt tears welling up in his eyes--he was a softie that had trouble seeing anyone cry, much less a girlfriend. "I...Understand," he settled on, remembering Taylor's warning. "I want to make things right if I can, though, Brandy. I feel terrible for hurting you and violating your trust."

Brandy, though, wasn't listening. Doing her best not to look at Trev, not really wanting him to be seeing her cry, she just hurried for the door.

Trev sighed and looked at his clock. It was almost time to head on down to community service. It wasn't going to be pleasant, since he was sure they'd all get an earful about last saturday.

((much later))

That night, Brandy (again) nervously knocked on Trev's door. People were asleep by now, and she'd made sure people hadn't seen her sneaking down here in her robe.

Oh god, I can't believe I'm doing this...

I can't believe you are either, but relax, you can do this.

Help me?

Please, like I'd miss this.

...How can you even sound like a bitch saying you'll help me?

Practice, sis.

Trev opened his door wearing a pair of flannel PJ pants and a t-shirt on.

He smiled lightly, "Hey...c'mon in?" he stepped aside to let her into his room.

Brandy walked in, letting him close the door behind her, letting the robe drop the the floor. Underneath, she'd worn nothing but some very provocative lacy lingerie that, frankly, it might be best if Trev didn't speculate on where she got it from or why. She decided she'd see his reaction when he turned around before she said anything.

Trev closed his door and turned around to be confronted by Brandy's near nakedness, and he started slightly, his eyes wide, and jaw slightly agape.

"Holy...wha...g..." he sputtered, staring at her. "I...wow...you look amazing Brandy," he smiled.

There you go... you've got him, now reel him in. Doing fine.

Brandy smiled slyly at Trev as she walked toward him, reaching up to drape her arms over his shoulders. "So you like, then?" she asked innocently.

"Absolutely," he smiled.

This is confusing as all hell... she should be punching me or slapping me, not trying to seduce me....though Taylor did say something about it I suppose...

Brandy stepped in closer, pressing up against him. "And are you thinking about any other girls now?"

Trev gulped a bit, smiling, "Not at all...."

He tentatively put his hands on her hips lightly, sliding them around to hold her in a close hug.

"You're amazing Brandy," he whispered softly in her ear.

"Oh, I haven't even started," she said, leaning up on her tiptoes to kiss him.

"So I'll make you a deal," she said starting to push him back toward his bed, "If you can go the next couple hours without thinking about any girl but us... I'll forget about what happened."

Trev smiled, "Yeah, I can do that. Absolutely." He returned the kiss.

Brandy smiled and kissed him as she kept pushing him back toward the bed. "We'll be the judge of that."

"Okay," he smiled, not really moving his face from hers in the process.

((FTB?))

A very long and energetic while later, Brandy lay on her side, her back pressed against Trev, facing away so that the nervous look on her face was hidden.

"Wow," he said after a long time, drifting in and out of sleep after their excitement.

He squeezed her lightly and kissed the top of her ear.
