"Yeah, and he will kick your arse for even suggestin' we have sex!" I stated.
Alec popped his head around Aideen and grinned at me. "I'm a lover, not a fighter."
Good news!
"You better back off then because one more crude comment and I will fuck you up, never mind Storm!" I snarled.
Alec bit down on his bottom lip and grinned at me, I knew he was thinking crude things so I glared at him which made Kane snort.
"Can we keep her? I like hearing someone put you in your place, the fact that she is a female is even better. You don't affect her bro, you're losing your touch." Kane chuckled and playfully shoved Alec when he settled back beside him on the car they were leaning on.
Alex continued to grin at me as he spoke to Kane, "It's still early, don't shoot me down so quickly, bro."
"I'll fuckin' shoot you," I murmured making Aideen snort as she reached for my hand.
"This has been... interestin'. However, Keela is right, we better get goin'."
"Thank you, Jesus," I cheered making Kane snicker before looking to Aideen.
He grinned at her and said, "I guess I'll see you around, Ado."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm the only one allowed to call her Ado."
Kane flicked his eyes to me and smiled. "I like you."
I flushed but forced myself to stand up straight as I said, "Well, I don't like you or your pervey friend-"
"Brother. I'm his pervy brother," Alec cut me off making Aideen snicker.
I shoved her and glared at Alec before I looked back to Kane, who still looked at me with an amused expression. I cleared my throat and said, "I don't like you or your pervy brother. You're both clearly nothin' but trouble if the people you pal around with attack girls for no reason. You're both very fuckin' rude as well!"
I turned and grabbed Aideen's hand and took off walking away from the brothers and in the direction of my car.
"What? No goodbye kiss? Now who is being rude!" Alec's voice called out after us making Aideen cackle.
I grunted. "Fuck you!" I shouted without turning around.
"Name the time and place, kitten," Alec called back which caused Aideen to break out into a full on laugh.
Kitten?
I fumed in silence as I all but hauled Aideen across the dark car park and into my car. "Name the time and place, kitten," I mimicked Alec's voice which caused Aideen to laugh harder as she buckled her seat belt.
I buckled my own seat belt then started up my car. I pulled out of the space I was in and quickly drove out of the car park. I don't think I calmed down enough to breathe normally until we were on the Tallaght Bypass.
"Can you believe him? What a fuckin' dick!" I spat.
Aideen snorted. "I found that entire conversation hilarious."
I shook my head. "Well you shouldn't have. Look at your face, Aideen!"
Aideen sighed. "I know, but it honestly it wasn't their fault. We were just havin' a good time when out of nowhere this girl jumped on me."
I gripped my steering wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white.
"Why were you even with them?" I spat.
I wasn't angry with her, I was just angry that she got hurt by some bitch.
"I wasn't even with them. Tonight was the first time I met them. I was out with Branna. Tonight was a small twenty-first birthday party for Bronagh. They all left a few minutes ago. I was sat with Kane and Alec when a drunk girl came over and accused me of bein' Alec's latest shag. Alec laughed at the girl but didn't deny it so she jumped on me."
I grunted.
Branna Murphy was Aideen's friend and has been her friend since they were in preschool. Aideen is a few years older than me so she has known Branna longer than she has known me. I'm a grown woman, I'm not at all jealous of their friendship. Branna was cool after all. Her sister Bronagh was great as well, I was two years older than Bronagh, who turned twenty-one today. I had been invited to go out with everyone tonight but my body was beat, so I declined the invitation.
My thoughts calmed me down enough for me to loosen my white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel but I still shook with anger. "You should have let me punch 'em."
Aideen chuckled then lifted her hand to cradle her face. "You would have broken your hand! Did you see how big he was?"
I grunted and nodded my head. "His brother was even more muscular. Do they live at the gym or somethin'?"
Aideen snickered. "Branna said they have a gym in her house. ’Member I told you she moved in with Ryder and the oldest twin Nico, moved in with her sister?"
I nodded my head.
"Branna didn't just move in with Ryder, she moved in with Alec and Kane as well. She said there is a gym room where the sittin' room should be and that they all work out a lot. You should see Nico; he's twenty-one and the lad is ripped. He is a fighter or somethin'."
I glanced at her wide eyed. "Why the hell are you hangin' around walkin' tanks, Aideen?"
Aideen burst into a fit of giggles which made me grin even though I was mad.
"They are lovely - big and scary - but lovely."
