After getting off the plane we went straight to Garrett's huge villa, where we used to go every summer. the scenery on the way there was exactly the same, mountains and blue beaches, however, through the reflection of my window I could see Morgan's expression, who seemed to have a sad look on his face.
I felt confused, maybe his parents' divorce and now my mother were giving him a hard time, but I didn't really care.
"Lexa?" Mike's voice was heard snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I hinted
"when we get there would you like to go straight to the beach with me?" Mike asked suddenly.
Hearing that made an excited smile break out on my lips. I didn't even hesitate to nod confidently. In fact, Mike, Daniel and I used to come straight to the launch from the pier, so it was a tradition to do so.
"I'm in..." said Daniel waving a hand "And you? won't you?" he added, looking at Morgan.
When Daniel said that, Morgan raised an eyebrow and shook his head. His expression was serious and indifferent, so my brother and Mike didn't insist.
Without saying anything I just looked back at the window until the car finally parked in the huge villa.
Sighing I put one foot on the ground, and quickly Mike grabbed my waist and lifted me onto his shoulders like a sack of potatoes. He ran towards the dock as he removed my booties with one hand.
"Mike! Mike! That's not the way it was!" I shouted over and over again.
I could only hear his smirk as my brother ran after us.
"f**k, I'm gonna fall!" I screamed as he started to turn me around on the dock and smirk.
I could hear Daniel laughing as he picked up Arianna and did the same with her, but for a second my eyes were fixed on Morgan, who had his gaze finally on me as he clenched his fists tightly.
Before I could think about why he was so angry, mike jumped off the dock and the water engulfed me completely. I felt my body being pulled upwards as hands pulled my wet hair away from my face.
"Are you okay?" Mike asked, teasing me softly.
"I... wasn't ready!" I screamed splashing water on his perfect face.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist as he smiled and frolicked with me in the water.
"Are you done with your silly game? Let's take the stuff back to the villa" Morgan's voice suddenly came out.
I looked up and saw him there, standing on the edge of the dock, his muscular arms crossed and his expression furious.
"f**k Morgan I'm sick of your f*****g temperament" Mike said placing his hands on the dock and standing up.
His clothes clung to his skin showing off his muscular body. My eyes widened in surprise, I knew Mike was muscular, but I had never looked at him like that.
Something in me was igniting without even realizing it.
"You're going to get your ass in the water! " shouted Walter, who had come up behind Morgan and threw him in the water.
At that, we all started laughing, until suddenly I felt someone grab my arm and pull my head into the water.
I didn't even have a chance to hold my nose when I felt the water enter my mouth and nostrils.
I waved my arms out of the water until I finally pulled my head out of the water and started coughing loudly.
Morgan's gaze became surprised and a hint of concern appeared " Fuck... Lexa, are you okay?" he asked.
I frowned and coughed and pushed him backwards "Bastard, you wanted to drown me! You did it on purpose! Get away from me!" I shouted in an annoyed tone.
"What the hell did you do?" Mike's piercing voice was heard coming closer "Lexa, are you ok?" he asked taking my hand and dragging me to the shore.
"Yeah...I'm...I'm fine" I said feeling my throat burn.
Mike nodded and helped me out of the water. However, when my body was out, I looked down and opened my eyes in embarrassment. My clothes were almost see-through and my underwear was clearly visible.
Without even having a moment to process it, Morgan ran over to me, and with a leap grabbed my arm and turning around, took off her baggy black shirt and pulled it over my body.
I ran back to the villa with Morgan still tucking me in with his shirt. I didn't understand why he was doing that, but as soon as we entered the living room, he let go of me and just walked away in a huff.
But what the hell? I watched him fade off into the distance and sighed nervously, but before I could think of anything else, I heard someone run towards me.
"Lexa, are you okay?" asked Mike looking down at the ground.
He didn't seem to want to look at my body, so I felt a little uncomfortable and turned my eyes away "Yes, don't worry, I'll go change" I said making Mike nod gently.
"Don't be late, my dad and your mom are planning a meal at the pool" he said.
As soon as i heard him i nodded and grabbed my suitcase. actually, inside me a wave of panic was running through me. I knew this was just pool and beach, but the fact that i had to wear those tiny bikinis that Susan had bought me, wasn't making me happy.
I was officially freaking out. so I just shook my head and came back to reality. I barely made it up the steps and turned into the second hallway on the right. The last door was the room I used to use every summer, so I went straight there.
However, as I was about to open the door, a sound made me turn to the next door... I peeked through the crack in the door and my eyes widened like saucers. It was Morgan.
"But... But what are you doing here?" I asked almost forgetting that it was Morgan I was addressing.
"Can't you see I'm keeping my things? Or were you planning for my brother to stay here?" he said with a cold tone in his voice.
I was stunned to hear his words. However, I just made a gesture, "No, I'm just used to having this corridor all to myself" I said trying to avoid looking at his muscular and attractive bare chest.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you'll have to share your hallway beautiful" he said mockingly.
Beautiful? Morgan had called me beautiful? What the f**k is going on here?
I frowned and clenched my fists remembering what Susan had told me. This summer was mine, and it was time to move forward with my plan.
"I don't mind sharing" I said before forcing a flirty smile.
Morgan stopped her movements and looked at me curiously. I had never seen a surprised expression on her face before until that moment, it was f*****g weird.
At that moment a surge of bravery crossed my mind and with my hands I started to slowly pull my black shirt off over my head and threw it against his chest.
"Thanks for the shirt" I said smiling before turning around and going back to my room.
I quickly locked the door and sealed my lips with my hand. f**k, what the f**k did I just do in there?
Instead of being annoyed he smiled at me in a way I had never seen before, which made my heart tremble. Maybe Susan was right, maybe this summer it was time to get back at Morgan and make him suffer for all the abuse he was causing me.
Without hesitation i pulled out my phone and called Susan to tell her what had happened. she screamed with excitement, i even mentioned to her about Walter and Mike, and how much their flirting made Morgan mad.
"Oh my gosh, Lexa, that's perfect! Walter may be the key to our plan" she said, making me sigh.
Susan's theory was that morgan was secretly in love with me, and it was his only reason for making my life hell. If so, why would he show it like that? It's completely absurd.
