Aideen's eyed twitched. "Yeah, I've two reasons as to why I’m a bitch to you. Number one, you're fuckin' stupid. Number two, see number one!"
I burst out laughing.
"That was just rude," Kane said and shook his head.
We all chuckled and dug into the food Branna made for us, and let me tell you it was so good. We discussed random things all through dinner, there was no mention of the previous week's events and that couldn't have made me happier.
"That was amazing, Bran. Thanks." Nico beamed and leaned back in his chair, more than stuffed from the looks of things.
Nico caught me staring at him so he winked and blew a kiss which made me laugh.
"Leave the girl alone, she doesn't want your nasty arse makin' kissy faces at her."
Nico looked at Bronagh and grinned. "Every girl wants my sexy ass making kissy faces at them."
Bronagh rolled her eyes. "Is that so?"
"It is."
"Too bad all those girls don't have to deal with your man-child arse."
Nico snorted. "They would happily deal with me if they knew that I have to deal with your phat ass all by myself."
Oh, no he didn't.
"Nico, you bastard, you don't ever say a girl has a fat arse. Are you fuckin' serious?" I snapped.
All the males looked to me and groaned.
"A phat ass is a good thing!" they stated in unison.
"On what universe is sayin' someone has a fat arse a good-"
"Alec! Sort your woman out and explain it to her. I cannot go through this again, it took me years to convince Bronagh I'm not insulting her. I’ll fucking cry if I have to go through that again."
"I'll explain later," Alec murmured as he watched the couple across from us.
Bronagh turned to Nico and glared.
"One, two, three, four, five-"
"Dominic leave the room," Ryder murmured.
Nico was already on his feet and all but ran out of the room.
"-Nine, ten." Bronagh finished counting and opened her eyes.
She blew out a big breath and said, "I'm goin' for a run on the treadmill."
When Bronagh left the kitchen, I looked at Alec to find he was rubbing his face with his hands. "What the hell was that?"
Alec removed his hands and sighed. "That was Dominic and Bronagh, kitten."
I raised my eyebrows. "They have short fuses."
"You don't know the half of it."
"Have they ever thought of anger manag-"
"Bronagh starts classes next week," Branna cut me off.
I nodded my head. "Good for her."
"Yeah, but God help that class when Hurricane Bronagh blows through," Ryder murmured.
"I heard that!"
Ryder widened his eyes and shouted, "Just kidding."
I chuckled and looked at Kane and noticed he didn't eat much. "How are you feelin'?"
Kane looked to me with tired eyes and smiled. "Good."
I gave him a frown that he chuckled over. "It's just the flu, I'll be fine."
Branna huffed. "It's been almost three weeks, it's not the fuckin' flu. You need to go to the hospital."
Wow.
He was that ill?
"Bran, it will pass-"
"You aren't a doctor so don't try pacify me, Kane."
Kane sighed. "If it will make you feel better, I'll go to the doctor during the week to get seen, okay?"
Branna stared Kane down. "I'm goin' with you."
"Oh for the love of God," Kane muttered. "Fine, okay."
Everyone lightly chuckled, but I got a sick feeling in my stomach when I looked at Kane.
I hoped he was all right and that it was just the flu.
Alec put his arm around my shoulders and grinned getting my full attention.
"Welcome to the family, kitten."
"We have to get a bigger place," Alec murmured to me as I wiped down my kitchen table.
We were both in the kitchen and bumped off each other about ten times as we cleaned.
I sighed. "It's annoyin' I know, but we can start looking after I get a new job, I still can't fucking believe I got sacked for staying out a day longer than I said I would. Why would they even want me there on the tills? I'll only scare the costumers with my face bein' so messed up."
Alec frowned. "Why don't you just focus on writing and let that be your job?"
I laughed. "Because I actually need an income to support us. That's why."
"Keela, you know I have a lot of money... right?"
I looked at Alec. "You do?"
He nodded. "We can buy own place outright tomorrow if you want too."
I widened my eyes. "That much money?"
"I earned a lot working for Marco and I'm not a huge spender. I have close to four million Euros sitting in my bank account right now."
My finger was around a cleaning spray bottle, and when Alec said that high number, my fingers automatically pulled on the spray trigger.
Holy fuck!
"Why do you live with you brothers if you have so much money?"
Alec shrugged. "We each have a lot of money... and none of us ever lived on our own before. We saw no reason to until Bronagh, Branna, and you came along. Myself and my brothers are very close, we only had each other growing up."
I frowned. "I know, babe."
Alec smiled at me. "Then it's settled we can buy a house soon, preferably in Upton, and you can focus on writing as your work."
I smiled only because I didn't trust myself to speak.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked.
I shrugged.
"Tell me."
I sighed. "I've takin' care of meself all me life. I refused me uncle’s help at every turn and banned me mother's. I don't feel right lettin' you just buy a house for us-"
"My money is your money. We're engaged Keela, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine."
I sighed. "I guess... but it still feels weird."
"This all feels weird because we jumped into things very fast. We will get used to it, just give it time."
I nodded my head.
Alec smiled. "So your book... when do I get to read it?"
I gasped. "You're not readin' it."
"Why not?" Alec asked, hurt in his voice.
I flushed. "Because I don't want you to read the... dirty scenes."
Alec smirked. "Kitten, I'm sure your scenes are things I've done to you-"
"Exactly so you're not readin' them."
