Torn Between The Carter Brothers

4:Ulterior Motive

Zane

“He’s gone now.” I breathed out as I stepped away from her. She was breathing hard, her face flushed as she slapped my hands away and hopped off the car herself.

“Do you have to be so close to me like that? Without any warning?” She grumbled, looking unhappy as she frowned up at me.

I bit back a laugh. The scrunch of her small nose made her look unbearably adorable.

“Of course. For this to be very believable, we need to constantly be in each other’s spaces.” I explained and she scoffed.

“Not everyone in relationships should be handsy at all times.” She pointed out and I hummed.

“You’re right, but if I was in an actual relationship, I’d always want to be in my girl’s personal space cause I just won’t be able to get enough of her.” I explained, which was quite logical.

I’ve never dated before, but I believed that whenever I’d get into a real relationship, it would be with someone I’d always want to have my hands on at all times.

“Just… I’d appreciate a warning next time.” She insisted as she pushed her curls out of her face.

My eyes briefly raked over her. She wasn’t dressed for a club, but I refrained from pointing that out right now because I feel like it would just lead to an argument. I wasn’t sure of what I expected when I’d get to meet her, but it definitely wasn’t someone who could talk back, for one.

“So, should we return back to the club?” She asked and I shook my head, fishing for my car keys from my pocket.

“Nah, we should return to the island,”

She frowned. “Wouldn’t that be weird?”

“No, returning back to the club would be weird. If we return back to the island, everyone would believe we went back to fuck.” I explained and she turned bright red, coughing a little.


“You don’t need to be so… crass.” She grumbled but I snorted, eyes focusing on her face for a moment longer than unnecessary.

She blushed easily, huh?

interesting.

I unlocked my car and we got in next moment, and I regarded her as I started the car.

“Why? You don’t cuss?” I asked and she rolled her eyes, folding her arms.

“Of course I do cuss, but I’m not crass. There’s a difference.”

“Are you saying I’m crass? That’s a rash judgement, don’t you think so?” I drawled as I pulled into the highway.

“That wasn’t what I meant, I just meant…” When she noticed the amusement in my face, she rolled her eyes and abruptly stopped.

“You’re teasing me.” She pointed out in a flat voice.

I laughed this time. She was honestly so adorable.

And silly.
