"Shark! Big fucking shark! We're all going to die! Swim for your lives!"
I could barely stand up in the water so I moved my arms and legs until I got my footing and stumbled forward enough until the water was below my waist. I rubbed my face as I turned my body fully in the direction of the beach. I narrowed my eyes and shook my head as I saw Alec haul his arse out of the water screeching like teenage girl while he waved his arms around like it was nobody’s business.
The bastard left me to die!
He threw me to the shark-dolphin-whale so he could save himself.
So much for him being a fucking gentlemen.
"Keela, are you still mad at me?" Alec asked as we walked up to our room after a long day of lying on the beach and eating in the local cafes.
I looked ahead as I sang, "Twinkle twinkle little star-"
"How I wonder what you are?"
"-I wish I could tie you down and run you over with me car."
Alec groaned. "Okay, I get it, you're still mad."
I clicked my tongue and tapped my foot against the floor as I waited for Alec to open the door when we reached our hotel room.
"You've had the entire day to cool off. How can you still be pissed at me?"
Because I'm female and can hold a grudge till the end of time?
"You left me to die, Alec. You literally threw me to what you thought was a shark just so you could save yourself. Some gentleman you are," I said and shook my head in astonishment.
I cannot believe he was still questioning why I was angry with him, it was plain as day why I was mad.
"Excuse me for not wanting to die. It's very sexist of you to insinuate that I should be the one to throw myself to a shark just to save you just because I'm a man. It's also very selfish of you, I mean, why can't you sacrifice yourself to save me?" Alec asked and stared me down with those big blue fucking eyes of his.
I huffed and placed my hands on my hips before crossing them across myself. "It's just the gentleman thing to do. I bet Nico would throw himself to a shark to save Bronagh."
Alec held up his hands. "I'm sorry to disappoint you kitten, but I'm not my brother. I can't just punch a shark in the face and win."
I screeched. "I'm not askin' you to fight a shark, I'm askin' you not to throw me to one just to save yourself!"
Alec used both his hands to push his hair back out his face, but it was pointless because it still fell back and framed his face.
"It was a fight or flight situation and my flight instinct took over."
I sarcastically laughed. "Yeah, I know it took over. I was the one left to be shark food, remember?"
Alec shook his head in frustration. "We don't even know if it was a shark!"
"No we don't, but it could have been, that's the point!"
Alec was about to open his mouth to reply but instead settled on biting his lower lip as he lifted his arms and gestured to my neck with both of his large hands. I snorted because the feeling was mutual - I wanted to choke him too.
"You're the most frustrating woman I have ever spent time with. You're driving me crazy!"
I opened my mouth to snap off a snarky reply, but the ringtone from Alec's phone cut me off. It was on the bed and before he could get it, I dashed onto the bed and rolled off on the other side like a ninja. I lifted the phone to my ear then and answered it.
"Hello playgirl hotline, Keela speakin'. Alec is busy with a client right now, but what can I do for you today?" I purred.
Alec narrowed his eyes and set his jaw while I grinned on the other side of the bed.
"Um hello, Keela. I'm Damien, Alec's brother."
The twin I haven't met.
"Hey Damien, we haven't met but I'm Keela, your brother's fake girlfriend."
Alec shook his head and scrubbed his face with his hands.
"You're Alec's fake girlfriend? Why?" Damien questioned.
I sighed and lay down on the bed. "It's a long story."
"I've got time gorgeous."
I smiled. "You don't know what I look like, how do you know if I'm gorgeous or not?"
"Because my brother's, especially Alec don't date anyone - fake or not - who is less than stunning."
I awed out loud.
"You're so sweet."
The bed suddenly dipped on my left as Alec climbed onto the bed and filled the space next to me. I looked at him and yelped as he pinched up my underarm causing me to drop his phone. He caught his phone with his free hand, grinned and rolled over to his side of the bed.
He put the phone to his ear and said, "You talk to her for less than thirty seconds and already she thinks you're so sweet? You and Dominic will get an ass whopping if you keep that shit up."
I heard laughter coming through the receiver of the phone which made Alec smile.
"What are you up to, bro? Are you okay? I miss you."
I felt my insides melt at Alec's admission to missing his younger brother. I've never heard a man openly say something like that before. It was really cute and I liked it. A lot.
I crawled over Alec to get to the other side of the bed simply because I was too lazy to get up and walk around. Mid-crawl Alec caught my arm and pulled me down on top of him. He grunted when our chests connected with a thud, I looked down to tell him off, but I froze because my face was inches from his. I licked my lips and not a second later Alec kissed my lips with lighting speed which made me hiss and him smile as I pushed away from him.
I sat up and found I was straddling him.
