Betrayal: Abby's Guilt (The Betrayal Series) Read Free Page B

escape, Kyle asked Brianna to leave the party and stay away from his girlfriend, but Brianna refused to leave. She told Kyle she was going to enjoy the party and leave whenever she goddamn pleased. Kyle was not amused by Brianna’s suggestive dancing. He was convinced she was putting on that little show just to further embarrass and humiliate him.
    The night went on, and Brianna continued to dance and flirt with just about every guy in the room while staring defiantly at her brother. Abby could not find a single opportunity to talk to the mysterious sister since the men at the party wouldn’t leave Brianna alone for a second. That plus the fact that Kyle barely left her side the entire night.
    A few hours later, most of the party guests had gone home. The music had been turned off and the only people left were Kyle, Abby, Brianna, birthday boy Ryan, and his three roommates. All three of Ryan’s roommates were shamelessly drooling over Brianna. They sat around her on one of the couches and hung on her every word as she regaled them with interesting anecdotes about her life as a Hollywood movie star.
    “So, Brianna, do you have a boyfriend? And if you don’t, can I be him?” Matt, one of the drooling roommates, asked a tipsy Brianna.
    “I don’t have a boyfriend, Matt. As a matter of fact, I have never had a boyfriend in my whole life,” Brianna giggled, patting the cheek of the stocky but adorable young man.
    “You don’t do relationships? That’s cool. I’ll settle for anything-your boy toy, your sex slave, whatever you want me to be, gorgeous,” Matt pleaded as his roommates shook their heads and tried to stifle laughs.
    “Actually, I do do relationships. I just don’t do them with men,” Brianna clarified.
    “What do you mean?” Sergio, a Brazilian stud and one of the other roommates, asked. “Wait…Are you saying you’re a lesbian?”
    Brianna shrugged and smiled coyly at Sergio. “Card carrying member since 1987.” She then turned her attention to Kyle and shot daggers at him with her eyes.
    Abby’s mouth fell open when she heard the startling revelation. She had no idea. Kyle had never mentioned to her that his sister was gay. When Abby googled Brianna, she did not find a single mention of Brianna’s sexuality on the internet. She found a couple of pictures of Brianna attending movie premieres, but she was accompanied by men in all of them. Abby was shocked, not that she had any prejudice against gay people. She just found the news surprising given how flirty Brianna was being with all the men at the party. Abby turned her head to face Kyle and found him glaring and huffing at Brianna. His face looked flushed with anger. Abby was startled by the dark expression on her boyfriend’s face. She had never seen Kyle looking that upset.
    “Well, that settles it boys,” Cody, the third roommate, chimed in. “We can all go to bed now. None of us has a shot with gorgeous Brianna. Nothing to see here.”
    Sergio and Cody got off the couch and went to fetch more beers, but Matt remained seated, still drooling over Brianna. He was not throwing in the towel just yet. “It’s okay if you’re into girls, sweetheart. It just means we have something in common. I’m not giving up on you, Goddess Brianna. I believe you’re worth the fight.”
    Brianna giggled. She found Matt’s hopeless insistence adorable. “I’m glad you don’t have a problem with me being gay, Matt. There are plenty of people who do. And I’m not talking about strangers. I don’t give a flying fuck what they think of me. I’m talking about people who are your flesh and blood, people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. But because of their small mindedness and their ignorance, choose to believe lies and shut you out of their lives instead.” Brianna said all of this while staring Kyle down.
    All eyes, including Abby’s, flew to Kyle when Brianna finished talking. Uncomfortable silence filled the room.
    “Hey, Ryan, do
