My Best Friend's Brother

2: Hello London

Marie

You know the one thing I hate is flying, not because I'm scared or anything but it's just that it annoys me, sitting in one seat, being stuck with annoying people and not to forget the crying baby. I legit feel bad for the Air Hostesses I mean; I can tell with their fake smiles that they're so done with everyone's s**t.

So, after getting my stuff, I exit the airport of London looking around for Karter. What does he look like, what does he look like, I don't really remember? Gosh, I should have paid more attention to Emily when she was explaining his physical features. All I know is that he has a hot voice. How on Earth will I recognize him? Should I just walk to every guy waiting and say "Are You Karter?", what if one of them lies and says that they are and then they kidnap me and kill me? Calm down M, stop over thinking this. As I reach for the purse to take out my phone, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to be face to face with most beautiful creature alive. Long curly brown hair, emerald green eyes, lightly tan skin, nicely dressed in a dress shirt and skinny jeans, sun glasses on his head keeping holding his hair back. God I got to stop before I start drooling.

"Are you Marie?" Wow sexy voice too. Wait what? Is this Karter? No.

"Yes...?"

"I'm Karter! C'mere kiddo" before I know it, he's embracing me in a hug. Wow he smells like Heaven. Snap out of it M. He pulls away and speaks, "Here let me help you with those" he says and takes my luggage from me.

"How'd you know I was Marie?"

"Well you were the prettiest girl here. So, I took a lucky guess." He says with a slight smirk.

"Great I'm stuck with a flirt" I say more to myMf but he catches on.

"Don't worry babe. It has it's perks" I just roll my eyes.

We reach his car and get inside. "So, what if I wasn't Marie then what?"

"Would have asked for your number and looked for Marie" he says smugly.

"What makes you think I'd give you my number?"

"Have you seen me?"

"Arrogant much?"

"A little" I lightly giggle which cause him to look at me and flash his smile, showing off his totally adorable dimples.

"So, Karter what do you do for a living?"

"I own Bang Records, no biggie"

"No Way! Get out!"

"Yup"

"Wow, that's nice"

"So, Marie, do you like being a dance choreographer?"

"I love it, dancing always helps me relax and release my stress. Plus, I get to work with huge stars so that's a perk"

"We both have one thing in common, working with major stars" I give him a slight smile.

He pulls into a driveway into this enormous house. I can see a huge garden and swimming pool and I'm still in the car. Wow, guess owning Bang Records makes you rich.

"We're home" I didn't even notice that Karter had left the car and was on my side and had opened the door for me.

"What a gentleman" I praise with a smile and he just bow down like I'm some sort of royalty causing both of us to erupt in laughter.

We reach inside and the house is absolutely gorgeous. The decor, the lighting, the everything. Can someone say house goals?

"Wow, beautiful house you have Karter"

"Thank you, Davidigned it myself"

"It's huge, doesn't it get lonely? Living alone in this enormous house?"

"It does from time to time, but I have a few great friends and family members to make that loneliness go away" I nod in agreement.

"Come on let me show you your room." He says and leads to me to a staircase.

"That's a lot of stairs, hopefully, you won't be pushing me down those anytime soon?" I joke.

He turns around and faces me, with an unreadable expression, guilt maybe? "I really am sorry about that Marie. I shouldn't have done that. I was a proper 19-year-old adult. I guess it just got to me that my parents were giving you so much attention"

"Hey it’s alright. I was just joking. It's all chill. There isn’t any bad blood between us!" I joke once again. He smiles at the choice of my words. We walk up the stairs and he open the door to the first room on the right. As the door opens only one word escapes my lips "Wow". There was a beautiful king size bed with matching bedside tables, a beautiful dressing table, a large closet, an attached bathroom, a balcony that gives the best view of London, a plasma TV and lastly a mini fridge. I would seriously not be leaving this room ever.

"I'm glad you like it! Now get some rest and I'll wake you up before dinner" he smiles at me which I return and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Karter

Wow. Marie is gorgeous. I remember her being a cute little girl back then but wow now. I bet she doesn't even like me considering our history and is probably being polite. She would never go for me after all we are what eight years apart? I'm about enter my 30's soon meaning settling down age while she's just entered her being free and wild phase. Why am I thinking about this so much? I don't do relationships and sure as hell don't fall in love, all this doesn't matter. I should really focus on not burning the food. As I stir the vegetables in the frying pan my phone rings. Without looking I answer.

K~Hello?

E~It's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet.

I slightly laugh K~I didn't know my sister was Adele.

E~I am the owner of many God gifted talents my brother.

K~Really? Wow.

E~If I start bragging about my talents, this call would never end. So, I'll cut it short. How's my M? Hope you're not pushing her down any stairs Karter.

K~Haha, very funny. She's asleep in her room while I'm preparing dinner.

E~Woah, someone is trying to impress Marie.

K~Am not. What makes you say that?

E~I don't know, the fact that you're cooking? When do you cook anything besiDavid micro-waving frozen food Karter?

K~ There's a lot you don't know about me dear sister.

E~ Where did you learn cooking anyways? Flirting 101

K~ The place where you learn everything, online. When you live alone you get tired of frozen food and junk. You catch on a few tips here and there.

E~ You know who's a good cook? Marie.

K~ Nice to know

E~ Considering the fact that I know you Kar, don't play Marie okay? I know that after that you've had trouble committing but Marie isn't just a hookup. So, if you don't want to have a relationship with her, I suggest she's off limits.

I laugh at her mother like comment K~ Yes Mam!

E~I'm serious Kar, you break her heart I break your face. And you and I both know how much you need your face. I got to go now. Keep my words in mind, take care of Mena, tell her to call me whenever she's free and I'll talk to you later! Bye Kar Love you!

K~ Byee, You too.

With that the line dies.

Am I really going to get attached to Marie? Is it strange that I'm attracted to a girl a met a few hours ago who is eight years younger than me? What is this lust or...? Probably Lust.
