Chapter 7

“This is absolutely exquisite,” Elle stated as she walked into the tiled foyer of the Cape Cod cottage on the Hamptons. She could see through to the oversized great room with plush off-white couches with matching comfy, huge chairs topped with gold and dark blue toss pillows. In the middle of the room was a white baby grand piano set in front of an enormous picture window that overlooked the inviting blue ocean.

“Thank you. Glad you like it.” Braxton replied as they walked through to the great room. To the right was an open gourmet kitchen with off-white antique cabinets, stainless steel appliances and beige granite countertops. A round glass table with black wrought-iron chairs sat in the breakfast nook amidst bay windows and puffy burgundy valances that matched placemats and napkins on the beautifully set table. Everything was decorated with perfection and she wasn’t surprised.

“This place has Megan written all over it.”

“Yep. Baby sis is very talented.” Braxton sat on the piano bench and Elle joined him.

His scent hit her nose and she almost regretted sitting so close. She was tempted to straddle his lap but her key word for the weekend was willpower. And considering he looked absolutely scrumptious in a pair of khaki shorts and a red golf shirt that wasn’t hiding his toned mocha arms, she needed all the willpower she could muster up.

“She decorated my second home in New Jersey a few summers ago. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m sometimes scared to touch anything because I don’t want to mess it up.”

“I didn’t know she decorated your home.”

Elle ran her fingers along the keys of the piano. “You weren’t supposed to.”

“Well, I have to admit whenever I asked my sisters about you they didn’t answer. Syd would say ‘Let the internet be your friend’ in a sarcastic way.”

Elle laughed. “That sounds just like her.”

“Do you remember how to play?”

“Uh...no.” She wrinkled her nose as her brow creased. She loved music thanks to him, but she had no musical ability whatsoever. “I do believe you taught me how to play three songs, though. The only one I remember is “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and that’s with one finger, not ten. My lessons usually ended unfinished, as I’d find myself straddling my piano teacher and kissing him as my back would play the keys better than I ever could.”

Nodding his head, he winked at her with an intoxicating grin. “Those were some good times. You were my favorite student. Let me see what you remember.”

“You can’t be serious, Maestro.”

“It’s all in fun.”

Groaning, she started to play with one finger, or rather bang the keys with one finger, painstakingly skipping over and playing the wrong notes. It was embarrassing to mess up in front of him. Sure he was her homeboy, but he was also a musical genius, a master at his craft. She hated that she’d even attempted to play something so simple and still effed it up.

Braxton covered his ears and Elle playfully pinched him on the arm.
