Alec complied and got to his feet then gestured around with his hands. "Let the tour begin."
I cleared my throat. "Well, this is me bedroom."
Alec glanced around then focused his gaze on the bed, the bed that pretty much took up all the space in my room.
"A king? I like it."
I gave him a pointed look. "Storm sleeps with me so I need all the room I can get."
Alec pumped his eyebrows at me. "Sounds like you need-"
I held my hand up cutting Alec off. "I'm sure whatever was about to leave your mouth was crude, offensive, and would make me wanna slap you so save it and let me continue on with the tour."
Alec smirked at me then motioned with his fingers that his lips were sealed.
"Follow me," I chirped.
I breezed by him then stopped seven steps later and opened the bathroom door on my right. "This is the bathroom. I'm OCD about cleanin' it so leave the bathroom lookin' like it did when you entered it or I will hurt you, understand?"
Alec leaned his head in and glanced around then looked down at me. "I'll keep it clean, but out of curiosity how would you hurt me exactly? I'm not sure you could physically hurt me... your hands are tiny."
They were not!
I frowned. "Don't underestimate me playboy, I can be dangerous."
Lie, I couldn't and wouldn't hurt a fly.
Alec licked his plump lips. "You can go from kitten to hell cat in half a second, got it."
I blinked up at him. "Great, so we're clear on that?"
Alec smiled at me again and I couldn't help but stare at his mouth.
"Did you ever have braces?" I asked.
Alec slid the tip of his pink tongue over his pearly whites and made me want to do the same with my own tongue.
Calm it, girly.
"Yeah, when I was a kid I had to wear thick metal ones for about two years. It sucked, but it was worth it."
I sighed. "Your smile is very pretty. I don't know if I like it... It seems wrong for someone to possess a smile like that."
I wasn't trying to chat him up I was just being honest.
Alec regarded me with a thoughtful look before he gazed at me with amusement twinkling in his big blue eyes. "All my brothers have nice smiles, it's something we all got from our father. Dominic, Kane, and myself have dimples - we got those from our mother. You can see Dominic's dimples when he speaks, that's how deep they are, but mine are only when I smile. Kane has a dimple on his cheek when he smiles, but you can't see it unless you're close to him when he smiles because a scar cuts through it. Speaking of Kane, his smile is the one to watch out for, it changes how he looks when he smiles."
I ignored the comment about Kane's scars because I didn't want to be rude and ask how he got them.
I thought about his smile though, and nibbled on my lower lip. "I already noticed that. He is sort of scary when he isn't smilin', but when he is smilin'... Oh my God, he is stunnin'. I don't believe in one night stands, but if he smiled at me-"
"He won't be smiling at you," Alec cut me off, all traces of amusement leaving his eyes and features.
I frowned. "What has your knickers in a twist?"
"Kitten, when I'm in your presence I don't want to hear you talking about my brothers. Any of them."
When I am in his presence?
"Who the hell do you think you are? Jesus?"
Alec shrugged his shoulders. "I'm probably the closest thing on this Earth to Jesus, kitten."
What. The. Fuck?
"You vain piece of shite. How dare you compare yourself to-"
I was cut off when Alec burst into laughter; he bent forward smacked his left knee with his left hand and placed his right hand on the wall to keep him steady.
"Your face!" Alec roared with laughter. "You should have seen your face!"
I hated him.
I didn't know him that well but I hated him and I was allowing him to move in with me.
I officially lost my fucking mind!
I grimaced as I turned around. "Pipe down and follow me."
Alec continued to laugh as he followed me down the narrow hallway.
I stopped when I entered the combo kitchen and sitting room. "This is the kitchen and the sittin' room since there is no wall separatin' them. It's a small one bedroom apartment but it suits me fine."
I glanced behind me to look at Alec who was glancing around.
"You make the place look even smaller," I muttered.
Alec chuckled. "It's fine, it is small but we can use that to our advantage."
I turned to face him. "Explain."
Alec grinned. "We will be in close quarters so getting to know each other and becoming comfortable with each other will be a breeze. That's what you want, right?"
I eyed him sceptically. "Uh-huh."
Alec had a ghost of smile on his face that broke into a wide grin when Storm came up beside him and brushed his head against his thigh. Alec reached down and rubbed behind Storm's ears then he bent forward and gave him a few strong pats on the stomach. I folded my arms across my chest and glared.
"Bloody traitor," I muttered lowly to myself.
I cleared my throat. "Okay, so I don't know what time me ma will be here at but this place needs to be spotless before she gets here."
Alec stood up, glanced around the apartment and looked at me. "It is spotless."
I scoffed. "There is dog food and water on the floor behind you."
Alec shrugged. "Okay, apart from the dog food and water on the floor, everything else is spotless."
I scratched my neck. "I don't think so, I have to hoover, wash down the kitchen counters, and bathroom, then straightened up my bedroom-"
"Hold up. You mother checks your bedroom when she comes over? How old are you thirteen or twenty-three?"
I groaned. "It sounds bad I know, but just havin' everything clean and tidy will make her visit less painful. Trust me."
