Chapter 2 Your Nose Must Hurt, Right?

Chloe was stunned.

Who the heck was this guy? How dare he yank her blanket off? Was he trying to pull something shady? Chloe never let creeps get away with stuff like that. As he leaned in, she sprang up and kicked him hard. The guy was caught off guard by the sudden kick. He quickly grabbed her kicking foot with his big hand. "Who are you? How did you get into my room?" His voice was deep and smooth.

Chloe took a second and realized this must be Grant Martin.

His brothers were no good, and she didn't expect Grant to pull such a stunt to get at her for whatever shady reasons he had.

"Who am I? You Martin guys are really something, barging into my room in the middle of the night. What do you want? Watch this..." Chloe said, throwing a punch right at Grant's face. He wasn't ready and took the punch hard.

"Little girl, don't push it."

"You started this, and now you're saying I'm pushing it? Watch me beat you to a pulp."

With that, Chloe threw another punch, and the two of them started brawling in the cramped bedroom. Meanwhile, Michael and Liam were outside the door, listening to the chaos inside.

"Oh man, they're fighting, they're fighting..."

"Think Grant's got the upper hand?"

"You mean, has that ugly girl got him? Grant's so handsome, it'd be a shame if she did."

Liam gritted his teeth and cheered, "The fight should get rougher, so that ugly girl knows how tough we Martin men are!"

finished, the door flew open, and Grant stumbled out, looking pained with a red, swollen nose. The door slammed shut behind him. "Grant! What happened to you?"
