his hand."
    A thousand
things were running through my mind but there was one thought that stood out
the most. My brother was about to meet Lukas before meeting Isaac. It might not
be a big deal to other people but it was to me. It just didn't seem right.
    I sighed, "Okay
but I want to go somewhere else first."

 
    Chapter
Eleven
    An hour
later, all three of us walked into Sienna's.
    "What
are we doing here?" Lucy whispered.
    "I
wanted a drink before we go to see Lukas" I lied.
    She nodded,
"I understand."
    I couldn't
see Isaac anywhere. I called him a few times before we set off but he didn't
answer. He probably wasn't even here, making this a wasted trip.
    "What
can I get for you?" The bartender asked Brody.
    "I'll
have a beer. Ladies?"
    "Red
wine please" I replied, keeping an eye out for Isaac.
    "Lucy?"
    "I'm
good, thanks."
    "That's
good to know but what do you want to drink?"
    "Nothing,
I'm good."
    Brody turned
to the bartender, "Two red wines, please."
    "I hope
you didn't just order me a drink."
    "Red
wine isn't really my thing and I'm not about to get my sister wasted so..."
    "I won't
drink it."
    "What
kind of student are you?" he asked.
    "One
that actually studies."
    I tuned them
both out when I saw Isaac walk out from the back room, followed closely by
Abbie. She had a huge grin on her face as she whispered something to him. He ran
a hand through his hair before turning away from her. He froze when his eyes
locked onto mine. Abbie's grin turned even bigger.
    Lucy nudged
me, "Earth to April."
    I shook my
head, "Sorry, what?"
    "I asked
if you knew that Mr Sharpe worked here?"
    "Um yeah,
he mentioned it in one of our meetings. I don't think they get paid much for
being a personal tutor."
    "He's so
hot."
    "Oh
please, he's just a pretty boy" Brody replied.
    "That's
my point."
    My heart felt
like it was going to hammer its way out of my chest. The look on Abbie's face
had completely thrown me for a loop. "I'll be back in a minute, I'm just going
to the Ladies room."
    Brody nodded,
"I'll get a table, Lucy can help me carry the drinks."
    I hurried off
in the direction of the toilets and then hovered outside. When Isaac appeared a
few seconds later, I was shocked when he pulled me into the Men's toilets.
    "Are you
serious? What's up with the stockroom?" I asked.
    "Shhhhh."
He pulled me into a toilet cubicle before locking the door. "What is wrong
with you? Why were you looking at me like that just then?"
    "Like
what?"
    "You're
obviously upset, is it because Abbie's here?"
    "I tried
calling you. Three times."
    "Sorry, I
left my phone upstairs."
    "What
were you doing in the back with her?"
    He glowered
at me, "Working."
    "What
did she whisper to you?"
    "April,
what the fuck are you doing?"
    I frowned,
confused as to why he was getting angry. "Um, right now I'm in a toilet
cubicle with my secret boyfriend..."
    He held his
hand over my mouth. The reason soon became clear when I heard footsteps. We
literally stared at each other for a whole minute straight until the person
left and Isaac was satisfied that we were completely alone. He removed his hand
from my mouth, "Don't taint what we have."
    "Me?"
I asked, shocked.
    "Do you
trust me?"
    "Yes."
    "Then
don't ask me ridiculous questions ever again."
    "Fuck
you."
    He raised his
eyebrows, "Fuck me?"
    "Yes,
fuck you. I wouldn't ask ridiculous questions if I didn't have a reason to.
Answer your fucking phone next time, employ a fucking sane person to be the manager
of your bar next time, tell people to stop whispering in your fucking ear next
time."
    I tried to
unlock the door but he held his arm out, "April, I'm sorry for snapping at
you. I've had a stressful night and then I walked into the bar and saw your
beautiful face. It should have cheered me up but the first thing I saw was the
doubt in your eyes."
    "Yeah
and the first thing I saw was Abbie whispering in your ear."
    "You
know what she's like..."
    "Oh, so
that makes it okay then?"
    "I
didn't mean it like that. It's best to keep
