Romeo's pov.

Stormi coming home had everyone excited just for Kaden to ruin it by not letting anyone really see or talk to her.

I understand they are dating and all, but Stormi is all of our family too.

She has been a little, annoying sister to me since I met her.

And, we all felt the loss of her when she went missing and we all felt the loss of their child.

Our little nephew or niece.

Stormi swears it was a boy but drugs can make a person see things that aren't true. For her sake, I pray it wasn't real.

She's been through so much, she doesn't need anything else on her plate.

I roll my eyes as I light a cigarette as I sit on the back porch.

The sun has gone down now and a little breeze is causing the hair to raise on my arms and goosebumps to crawl on my body.

I grab my beer and chug it down.

Why am I so mad?

Am I....

Could I be jealous?

Jealous of Kaden and Stormi's relationship?

Or are my feelings like this because I care about Stormi more than a friend/sister figure?

I shake my head and let out a little laugh.

Definitely not.

I would of left Stormi the second she ran her mouth to me.

I don't know how Kaden has been able to deal with her smart, slick, disrespectful mouth with her big, soft----

I shake my head and stand up.

I can't think this way about Stormi.

She's with Kaden.

She loves Kaden and Kaden loves her.

But does he really?

Who hurts and abandons the person the love?

Who willingly throws away a relationship like what they had?

Before I could control myself, I find myself infront of their door.

As I lift my hand up to knock, the door opens spooking me.

I jump back and look down staring into Stormi's beautiful eyes.

Her face lights up and she smiles.

"I was about to come looking for you!" She squeels and let's out a giggle.

I clear my throat. "What's up?"

What's up? Really? Stupid.

She smiles and loops her hand through mine.

She starts to walk making me follow along with me.

"First of all, I want to thank you for being here for Kaden and I. I know I've thanked you before but I really do appreciate it. You are like a brother to me and I'm so thankful for you."

I watch her smile grow as she looks up to me.

She lets go of my arm when we get into the kitchen and she head straight to the freezer.

She grabs out Kadens peanut butter ice cream and two spoons.

She rolls her eyes and smiles.

"He doesn't care. Come join me." She says jumping on the counter and taking a bite of ice cream.

My eyes flash to the chocolate diamond on her finger.

He purposed to her?

He finally purposed and she said yes?

Why didn't he tell me he was going to?

Why do I care?

"Kaden purposed to you?" I ask hiding the huge lump in my throat that has formed.

She smiles and looks at her ring.

"He didn't tell you?" She asks looking up at me.

I shake my head no.

She scrunches up her eyes brows. "Well, maybe he thought you might tell me. We are pretty close."

"Probably. Congrats though. We will officially be family." I say swallowing the venom that came on my tongue.

She is your best friends girlfriend.

Correction, your best friends fiance.

You should be happy but your sitting in a swamp of guilt that you aren't the one who's with her.

I need to get laid.

I haven't gotten laid in months because I've been to worried about Stormi, Kaden and the other bullshit that's been going on.

I grab my phone completely ignoring Stormi and send a "where you at" text message to Katie.

Katie is my fuck buddy.

That's the only good thing that bitch is for.

I tried to date her once but she fucked half the guards Kaden hired.

Of course she's ready to come and fuck.

I sigh and send her the confirmation text before putting my phone away and grabbing a beer from the fridge.

I feel the heat on my arm from Stormi grabbing my bicep.

She looks at me with the most kindest eyes.

"Are you mad?" She asked.

I shake my head and smile. "Of course not. I'm so happy for you!"

I pull her in for a hug.

"Princessa." Kaden voice echos.

Stormi gives me a tight squeeze before letting go and turning to Kaden.

I watch her beautiful smile glow as she stares at him.

Kaden looks between us both walking towards Stormi.

He wraps his arm around her shoulders and kisses her head before walking behind her and grabbing the ice cream.

I chuckle as she rolls her eyes.

"Calm down. It's only one container. You act like you can afford anymore." Stormi says grabbing it from his hand and running around the table.

I watch them run around the table giggling and smiling before Stormi gives up and sits on the floor.

Kaden laughs and sits besides her.

"Sooooo gooooooooood." She moans as she takes a huge bite.

I shake my head and laugh as I leave them to it and head to my room to change.

I change out of my suit and put on basketball shorts.

I lay across my bed and unlock my phone.

My heart begins to race as I see a message from an unknown number.

I know who the leak it. Boardwalk - 1am sharp. Don't be late.
