Meeting the wrong brother
1185 Words
She sighed softly before looking at the chandelier. The most beautiful one she had ever seen. Bet it's better than any other ever made.
She looked at the expensive interior, the couches, the biggest, almost sexiest television she had ever set her eyes on.
The glass table stood proud in the middle of the living room, with the most beautiful vase. The flowers were smiling and nodding at her.
She smiled and looked at the windows. There were french windows and the huge royal blue curtains were pulled at the sides.
"Sir" she heard a vague voice. She was busy admiring the place she was.
Who knew if she ever got a chance to set foot here again. "Sir" she was brought back to her surroundings. "Yes?" she asked.
"Who shall I inform Mr. King has called on him?" he asked. "Um.. Just.. Please direct me to his room" she said and the man's eyes widened.
He quickly hid it and nodded slowly. "But I'm not sure master would appreciate it" he said. 'Master' she mimicked.
"He's expecting me" she said and he hesitantly nodded. "The other brother isn't here, is he?" she asked. "No sir. He had work and left early" he informed and she nodded.
"Wait a moment sir" the man said, knocking on the door. "Come in" came a voice and she inhaled sharply. That voice sent shivers down her spine.
"You may go in sir" he said and she thanked him before nodding. He opened the door for her and she stepped in.
Taking the appearance of the room, she could have fainted. How lucky were these people to live here?
She was instantly jealous and shook her head, muttering something to herself. "Yes?" came the same, intimidating voice and her head whipped in its direction.
Her hair loosened and threatened to escape the hat. Her eyes widened and she prayed that her hair wouldn't betray her.
She almost chuckled remembering she was already inside and she shouldn't have anymore problems.
"So.. Wassup?" she asked and he choked on his drink. She almost stepped back. "You okay?" she went over to him.
Holy s**t, this man was damn hot. What did he do to have such an amazing body. She looked at his muscles, bulging from his white fullarms.
His wrist cuffs were loose and he gently pulled them back. His fingers were long and looked firm. Her eyes drifted to his well sculpted chest and she bit back her gasp.
The man cleared his throat making her jump in fear. He was insanely tall and her neck cursed at the uneasiness to look at his face.
Holy holy!! He was the most handsome man she had ever seen. "Who are you?" he asked, looking at the trail of mud on the white tiles with a frown.
"Like you don't know" she smiled, mimicking the harsh voice. "Who let you in?" he asked, making her lips part. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Jason Bourne" she said in a hoarse voice and chuckled. He blinked twice before his jaw tightened. "Is this some kind of a joke?" he roared, making her stumble back.
"I.. You.. I'm here to talk to you about.." she started but his scoff cut her off. "Get out or I'll have you thrown out into the streets" he said in a threatening voice.
"N..no. You don't understand.. I'm only here because she asked me to come" she croaked. "Who is that she?" he aksed and frowned.
"Hey my friend" came another voice and she jumped. "I have been looking for you all over. Come on now" the man said and she frowned.
"N..No" she said, stepping behind Mr. Intimidating. "Come on. Stop playing games" the younger one said and she gasped as realisation hit her.
She was supposed to meet the younger brother and stay clear of the elder one. She had met the wrong brother.
She scurried to the other man and smiled awkwardly. He sighed in relief and smiled at her.
"Come" he said and she nodded, following him. Her breath hitched when a hand caught her wrist.
"How do you know this man?" Mr. Intimidating asked his younger brother. "A close friend" he said and she nodded.
"What's the name?" he asked, looking at his brother, while she frantically tried to remove her hand from his grip.
"Jason Bourne" she said in a manly voice while the younger brother said "Gerald Fitz" at the same time. They looked at each other and panic took over.
"Really?" Mr. Intimidating rose a brow. "Y..yeah. He calls himself Jason Bourne sometimes, just to tease" he let out a nervous laugh.
"Is that so Mr. Whoever you are?" he asked and she nodded quickly. "Its nice to think of myself as Jason Bourne" she replied and cringed at her own reply.
"You aren't a kid anymore. Grow up. Stop being with people like these" he said to his brother who gulped and nodded, while Mr. Intimidating looked disgusted.
"You can let go of my hand anytime now" she said, faking her voice.
He shut his eyes in irritation and immediately let go of her hand which took a full swing before returning to its place.
"I'll see you in a while" the brother said and dragged her away. "What is wrong with you?!" George whisper yelled, when he had shut the door of his room and safely bolted.
"You tell me!! You guys don't even have a picture, how am I supposed to know how you look" she hissed.
"Good thing I came on time" he sighed. She sighed before pulling out a letter and handed it over to him.
"Gwen gave this" she said and he nodded. He grinned like a love struck teenager and she sighed.
"I'm not helping you guys anymore. I was almost caught today" she said and he wasn't even paying attention. She snapped her fingers and he looked at her.
"Huh?" he asked and she groaned softly. "Look, gather up courage and be a man. Tell your devil of a brother that you want to get married to Gwen and get it done with" she said.
She thanked and sat on the small couch when he offered. "You can't hide it forever and keep meeting in secret and getting me to do all this because my best friend is a coward to come and meet you herself" she shook her head.
"I'm dressed like a man. Hell, look that doesn't matter. Just tell your brother about it. What makes you think he wouldn't agree?" she asked.
"Thomas wouldn't. Trust me, I know. He doesn't want me to get married right away, after all I'm only twenty one" he said, sighing.
*****
Sneak peek
"T..Thomas" she stuttered and he rose a brow. "I.. I just wanted to say how handsome you are" she said and bit her tongue.
Couldn't come up with anything less stupid?!
"Right. You've anything else to say before I shove you out of my way?" he asked and she quickly stepped aside.
He chuckled before walking ahead. No no no!
