***Gael's POV**“I'm… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.”“Didn't mean to intrude? Then, how do you explain peeping inside my room?”Shit! He doesn't like me at all. Now that I think about it, he was the one who had been giving me the cold shoulders ever since we met. It's best to avoid his trouble. “I apologize for staring at you. If you excuse me,” I quickly turned on my heels to escape him immediately. “Wait!” He said sharply, and that made me freeze on the spot. What does he want now? Can't he tell me that I've been trying to avoid him at all costs?”“Where do you think you're going?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, then I slowly turned around to face him. “I'm about to go for morning exercise,” I muttered slowly. “Morning exercise, huh?” He said while looking at me as if he were checking me out. I blinked, with a flushed cheek. It would have been different if I was being looked at by someone who likes me, but for someone like Cole, who hates the very ground I walke
****Cole's POV***At first, all I wanted to do was punish him for taking a peek at him, but it turned into something else, especially when I noticed him fully. I didn't give myself enough time to look at him properly. But when I realized that all of my brothers were head over heels in love with him, I became curious. I wanted to know what they saw in him that has made them fall head over heels for him. What is it about him that I can't see but the others can. The more I got closer to him, just to observe him, I found myself drawn into his face, his eyes which looked so innocent, yet wild. And then my gaze fell to his lips. Fuck! I hate what I feel right at this moment. They looked so thin and yet full at the right places that the only thing ringing in my head at this point was to get a taste of his lips. I wanted to know what it felt like. Just like that, I lost myself to curiosity, forgetting that I was playing with fire. This guy was my mate and someone I shouldn't mess with. Some
**Gael's POV***Alan held me by the hand and took me to his room. I felt so awkward being in his room since this was my first time. To be honest, I don't understand plenty of things about the Barclay Brothers. And at this moment, I was dying of curiosity. I wish to know what they are about, this way I wouldn't get as confused as I am right now. “Hold on, let me get you something to drink,” Alan offered, as he quickly left his room. I shut my eyes and breathed a long, deep sigh. What am I really doing? What did I really get myself into? All of these questions, and yet, I have no good answer for them. I wish I understood what I'm really doing. Alan came back shortly after with the drink in hand. “Here, it's fruit juice and cold as well,” he stretched it towards me and I quickly took it from him with both hands and muttered, “thank you.”“Goodness! Your lips are swollen and bleeding,” Alan stated with concern filled eyes. I had almost forgotten that I was hit badly on the face. I sl
**Gael's POV***“Please don't hurt me, I only came to get my phone. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. You've got to believe me, please.”He raised a brow at me, as if he didn't understand what I was saying. “Why are you acting all scared like you're faced with death?” He spoke in a calm tone. This made me shake my head like I was in a dream. “E… Excuse me.”“When Alan arrives, I want you to tell him that I'll be going back to where I came from, just like he asked me to.” I was terribly speechless as of the moment. Was this for real, or could it be that he was playing at something with me? “Okay, I'll tell him that.”Cole stared at me for a while, making me feel nervous with his stares. Just then, I noticed his expression getting intensely dark. Oh, no! It was better I find my way out of his presence before I irritate him again. “Okay, if that'd be all, I'll just,” I quickly made my way out of his presence. But just as I was about heading towards Alan's door, I was suddenly pull
**Cole's POV **“But of course I missed you so much. But then since the wedding was coming up, and we had plenty of things to do, I just didn't want things to disturb your time with your brothers. Please tell me, did I do anything wrong?”“What? Of course not. You didn't do anything wrong at all. I just missed you so much, that's all. You have no idea how much I wanted to see you.”I rushed over to where she stood and pulled her into me for a tight hug. “Hey, Cole, you're acting strange. Are you sure you're okay?”“Yes, of course I'm okay. I'm just worried about you missing me too much,” I deepened the hug. “My goodness! You're acting like a love struck teenager, you know,” she said with a light chuckle. “Of course I'm love struck, and it's with you,” I muttered and quickly loosened my grip on her. I held her chin with my fingers and pulled her into a deep kiss. Now this is how it should be. The kisses for because it's coming from a woman. I grabbed her soft butt and massaged gent
***Gael's POV***Thank God, it was Monday again and I had to leave the house to go to work. Turstin hardly comes home because he's extremely busy with work, but he never fails to call me, at night, where we talk for an hour or two. Thale does the same. He drops by occasionally and comes to my room, and he never fails to buy me gifts whenever he comes home. Furthermore, we made out quite often, but since we were also busy, we didn't have that much time for sex. Talking about, Alan. The sexual tension between us was getting worse each day. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't like me that much because sometimes I see him distance himself from me. But sometimes, he kisses me so badly that we were almost on the verge of having sex. I hate myself those times because I'm the one who was always left panting and wanting more. “Mr. Gael, I must say that I'm impressed with these personal interviews you've compiled. But, from what you wrote, there are actually four brothers. How come there are on
**Gael's POV***“Gael, I know you would never believe what I tell you now, but I just want you to be careful. I don't know what will happen, and I hope nothing bad happens. I just want you to be careful and always take care of yourself.”“You know I'll always do that. You should also take good care of yourself. Sleep more and try to forget about the past, please.”Greg was about to say a word, but he quickly paused and shut his eyes to take a deep breath. “If that's what you wish for me, I implore you to heed my advice and take good care of yourself, Gael.”"Worry not, my friend. I'll always take good care of myself."“That's a relief, then.”I watched Greg stand up and walk out of the cafeteria, leaving me slightly confused. Though I've not been close to my only friend ever since the incident, I could still tell that something wasn't right with Greg. Makes me wonder what exactly he went through that made him the way he was. He wasn't acting normal at all, and it's giving me concerns
***Alan's POV***The moment we got home, the first thing I did was take out the ice cream and the rest of the things I bought out from the freezer. “Thank you for taking me out to dinner today, Mr. Alan.”“You have nothing to thank me for, Gael,” I said, shutting the freezer. “No matter what, I still need to thank you. Besides, it's not just the meal today. I appreciate you for saving me from the hands of your brother as well.”I felt a little sad when he mentioned Cole. I wish Cole wasn't aggressive towards him. How can he not see just how sweet Gael was? “Okay, Mr. Gael, I think I need to go to my room and shower, then prepare for bed.”“Huh? Are you going to bed so early?”“Not that I want to, but naturally, I'll be tired and want to test, so there.”“Alright. I understand you. But just in case, you can leave your food unlocked. I would like to drop by after I'm done with my stuff. Maybe, we can both share the ice cream I bought. What do you say.”“Well, if that's the case, then
