XANDER
I tip my head up and down half of the drink. My brother Alec hitches his brow and smirks like he's seen something funny.
"Mel really won't love it if you're drunk by the time she arrives."
I eye him out of the corner of my eye, then keeping my eye on his, down the rest of the drink. His lips twitch at the corner.
"f*****g asshole. They're here. Get the bottle away from him." Declan growls. Two years younger than Alec, he's the stiff one of the family, and he's always loved Mel.
Actually, all my siblings have always loved Mel. Of course, they don't want me drunk when she arrives.
They also do not understand that the only way I can face the woman who broke my heart six years ago is if I'm three sheets to the wind.
"I've barely had a sip of the drink. Get off my back, you two."
