“Don’t let him touch you,” Nick said. “No more hugs and no more holding hands.”
“Okay,” she nodded. “No more touching.”
“Thank you, love,” he said and pulled her to him.
He wrapped his hands around her and kissed the top of her head.
“Can you please try to get to know him, Nick?” she asked and looked at me. “You as well, Gabe. He really is a great guy.”
“I will try,” I said and smiled.
“Nick?” she asked and looked up at him.
He cupped her face and smiled. “Anything for you.”
“Thank you,” she smiled back and stepped away from Nick. “Dinner will be ready soon. Come downstairs.”
Both of us nodded and she walked out, closing the door behind her.
“You know, you could be a little less handsy with my sister when I’m watching,” I said with a frown on my face.
“Get used to it or don’t look,” he said bluntly.
I rolled my eyes and stood up. “Let’s go get the bags from the car.”
Nick nodded and we went downstairs. We grabbed the bags from my car and brought them back to our room before we went to the dining room.
The girls had made steaks with mashed potatoes and green beans. Aria was just putting plates down at the table when we walked in.
“Hey,” She smiled at us.
Jacob and Blake were already sitting down. Jacob’s eyes were on Aria, of course. Nick stiffened but smiled back at her.
Dinner was tense. The conversation was staggering. The girls, I could tell, were getting along great. Us guys, not so much. Nick and I made sure Aria was sitting between us. Jacob didn’t like that very much. He kept frowning and giving Nick and me dirty looks.
This was going to be interesting.
Aria’s POV
I was laying in the bed staring at the ceiling.
I couldn’t sleep.
Too much had happened, and my brain wouldn’t shut off.
I looked to my left and saw that Annie was sleeping peacefully next to me. At least someone can sleep.
After a fierce debate about sleeping arrangements, it was decided that the guys will share a couch and Annie and I will take the bed. Nick, of course, wanted to sleep with me. But Gabriel was dead against it. He said he didn’t want to listen to Nick’s purrs all night long. Not that Nick purred when he slept next to me, but I get why Gabriel didn’t want us sleeping together. Nick could get handsy and it was a little bit weird when your brother was watching.
I sighed and sat up. I decided to go get myself a glass of water.
I got out of bed as quietly as I could and walked out of the room on my toes. I carefully closed the door and walked downstairs.
Thankfully, nobody woke up.
I was surprised to see a light coming from the kitchen. I guess I was not the only one who couldn’t sleep.
I walked inside and Jake was sitting there with a glass of, what looked like, whisky in front of him.
