Lost the girl because of the odd man out

Hey guys,
A couple of days ago i went drinking with my friend, his girlfriend and her friend at his girlfriend's place.
I knew that her friend is single and that recently there was some guy in her life who canceled her date in the last moment.
Initially, it should have only been the four of us, but girlfriend's brother turned out of nowhere (he has a girlfriend and he wasn't a competitor in that sense).
So, the evening went great, we were drinking and joking and atmosphere was really great. At one point i sat myself next to her friend (who is really good looking btw) and started doing some attraction routines and escalating physically. This was perceived very well, since on initiating physical contact she didn't flinch or break the contact (and that included giving high - five and lingering, holding my hand on her knee and leg, holding my hand on her back over and under the shirt).
On this point i thought i have great interest indicators and when my friend went (he had to go earlier) and his girlfriend escorted him, there remained only three of us in the room, me, this girl and the brother. And the problem was that the brother didn't budge, he just sat there and continued making conversation and i didn't know how to close in and how to isolate the girl with him there. And i know that some will say that I should have won the brother on my side, but prior to this situation we did have alot of conversation with him, about his interest and his life.
So, after not escalating at one point she finally broke the contact, and that was basically the end of the evening since each of us had different plans afterwards.
In the following days we communicated through facebook (since i wasn't intelligent enough to take her phone - another rookie mistake, but it everything there happened kinda in a flash and with a bit of alcohol in our blood), and when i asked her out she said that she heard from that guy who canceled her date and that they are kinda seeing each other and that she doesn't want to date other guys in the same time.
So, my question is, how to isolate a girl in such a situation (i should mention that the appartment we were in is quite small)? I thought saying something like :"Come with me let's take a walk", or something like that would sound too obvious, but now thinking of it maybe that is the correct approach.
And also, if you notice some other mistakes i missed pinpointing, it would be really helpful if you pointed them out.

Hind sight is 20-20. You were already at a disadvantage as a second choice, so to speak, so don't take it personally.

You indicated your interest, She is well aware. Now go meet 10 other girls. Don't put your life on hold waiting for her. If she re-initiates, make the most of it.

I am sorry, i didn't realize what you mean by 20-20.
And of course i won't chase her, i just posted the situation here so i could maximize the learning, and also understand things i didn't understand better.
And also i haven't known her for that long to have trouble with putting my life on hold.
