CHAPTER 9

I listen as they debate and the rest of the girls catch up with the conversation. I'm just hoping it's not a pregnancy Jun told me months ago that she's been thinking about starting a family early and it's making him nervous. I laughed about that but in close quarters shit escalates quickly. The girl's debate and I have to lay down the law about Lilly and I talking alone. They understand but want details if possible. We get pulled into a rest stop and everyone piles out and I'm about ten feet away from the RV when I see Ben beeline it for me with Lilly and Hanna hot on his heels.

"Dude, don't flip out but it's cool right," Ben says, confusing me.

"You're a moron Ben, it's Guy's sister," Lilly growls angrily.

"I swear I thought it was okay," Hanna says, confusing me further.

"Whoa, time the fuck out," I tell the three of them holding up my hands," If this is about Ben and Liz then I'm talking to Ben first. You girls stay here."

I walk away from the vehicles leaving everyone behind with Ben trailing behind me and finally get far enough away that we can talk privately. I watch him sit down on a bench while I stand there waiting for an explanation as the sun starts warming up the area fast.

"Alright man, Lilly texts me saying she needs to talk to me and now I have you and Hanna bringing up my sister so can you please tell me what's going on," I ask, trying to discern the problem.

"I am all alone out here and she's not so I spoke with her before we left and she said it would be okay if I slept in the group while we were apart," Ben says trying to explain.

"Slept in the group, what the fuck are you talking about," I ask pissed and confused.

"I talked to Hanna and we were bored so we had sex last night, Lilly saw us this morning and now she's throwing a fit about it but it's cool with Liz man," Ben says pleading.

"You cheating on my sister and you think I don't know better as to whether or not she'd give the okay with it," I reply growling," Did you use the same fucking line of bullshit with Hanna when you roped her into this?"

"Dude it's not bullshit, Liz and I are cool I swear," Ben says, holding his hands up defensively.

"Okay, if she's cool I'll just call her right now and we'll ask her on speaker phone," I tell him pulling my phone out.

First bad move of the morning, Ben grabs my phone and tries to take it. I know he's fast but I'm just as fast and much stronger and I use my free hand to grab his wrist. We lock eyes and I see desperation in his face.

"Okay, I wanted to come and when Liz couldn't I figured it'd be a good time to use the rules," Ben says, letting go of my phone.

"What fucking rules," I ask still pissed.

"We're in different area codes so it's not cheating," Ben says getting a 'Are you fucking serious' look from me before continuing," The rules on having a fling when you're in a relationship."

"That is bullshit, unless she says it's okay then it's cheating," I reply, getting a slightly confident look from Ben.

"Then I'm asking for a solid from my Bro, I don't want her to find out and I want you to help me keep that from happening," Ben says smiling hopefully," Bros before…. Well girlfriends in this case. It's Guy code, pardon the pun, I need you to help me so that this goes off fine during the trip."

Guy code, is he fucking serious? The smirk on his face says he is but this is too much for me to hold onto alone. I can see he's waiting for an answer along with Lilly and Hanna off in the distance. I can tell the girls have spoken with the rest of the group and are waiting for me to give my verdict. I point him back to the rest of the group and when he's far enough away I sit down and make eye contact with Katy who rushes over to me. I relay the situation to her to check and see if she knew anything about an agreement between Liz and Ben.

"Fuck no, she was very adamant about neither of them sleeping around," Katy tells me before turning on her softer side," I mean I can understand where he's coming from but she's our sister. What would Dad do?"

I get a big menacing smirk and Katy is showing it back to me as I have her send over Lily and Hanna after telling her to keep it to herself. Lilly and Hanna both stare at me tentatively as they wait to find out what I'm gonna say.

"Hanna, you didn't do anything wrong so I've got no problem with you having sex with Ben so no worries and if anyone in the group gives you shit you have them answer to me," I tell her getting a smile from her but a glare from Lilly.

"Guy, are you really serious about that," Lilly says as I send Hanna back to the group.

"For Hanna yes, he lied to her and she shouldn't suffer because of what he did but you need to keep this shit to yourself. When the other's find out you tell them that I have it handled," I tell Lilly, darkening my mood and tone.

"But what are you going to do about him cheating on your sister," Lilly asks, pressing me for answers.

"I'm not going to do anything to him, yet. You need to just trust me and it'll work out," I tell her as we head back to the vehicles.

Everyone gets loaded up and I see how Devin and Masha have been surviving in the U-haul; they switch drivers in a weird seat change. It makes me smile a bit as I head into the RV with my girls, I turn my head and see Ben grab Hanna's ass a little which she likes and they get on the tour bus. As we head down the road Katy makes sure that I have the bed to myself so I can call Liz. It's only a few rings but I get a groggy Liz on the line.

"Guy what is going on? It's like, nine in the morning and I'm trying to sleep," Liz says over the phone.

"Hey sis I would normally text but we have an issue and I needed to do this talking," I tell her in a serious tone.

"Oh crap are you guys okay? Did some shit happen and do I need to get Mom and Dad," Liz asks, waking up and getting concerned.

"No Liz, we're all fine but there is a problem. Ben got caught by Lilly this morning having sex with Hanna," I tell her getting silence from her end," Liz are you there?"

"Yeah bro, I'm here," she says quietly.

"I spoke with Hanna and he told her that you had given it the okay but when I confronted him he told me the truth," I tell my sister as I figure her world is crumbling on the other end of the line," I can take care of this Sis, just say the word and it gets handled."

"Isn't there some guy code or shit about telling a girl that her boyfriend is a cheater," Liz asks quietly.

"Family comes first, you cheat on my sister and I talk to her before I handle business," I reply stating my facts.

I sit in silence staring at my phone imagining my sister on the other end crying quietly. She'll tell Mom and Dad and I'll have to talk to them later cause they'll expect me to be the big brother. I almost think she's hung up when my phone comes to life with her on the other end.

"No, I'll be fine over here and I'll handle it when he gets back. You understand," Liz asks with a calm confidence.

"Hold on sis, you want me to just let him do what he wants," I ask confused.

"Yes and No, you tell everyone that it's fine and tell everyone to back off. Also we didn't talk about it and you will tell me every sordid detail about who he does and what he does if possible when he does it," Liz explains as I make a mental note," You let him have his fun and don't let anyone get in the way of it."

"Alright Liz, you say let him play I'll let him play. You sure you'll be okay," I ask before we end our conversation.

"Just do what I asked for, please. I'll be fine and don't talk to Mom or Dad about it either," Liz says before hanging up.
