what was it with this girl, and not appreciating his pet names? sure they were going to be siblings by marriage or whatever, but there was no real reason about being all up in arms because he finds her to be attractive. or, that she finds him to be, as well. kol’s much too arrogant to not draw that conclusion, and it’s quite easy to see how much more troubled she is by her own attraction to him than his to her.
❝ fine, darling. and, there was a wee bit change in plans. ❞
the ‘wee‘ change in plans is the mere fact that he’s been suspended from two soccer games because he ‘disrespected the coach‘. not his fault that the sod can dish tough love, but can’t take it. he was suppose to be at practice, anyway. but, it wasn’t like kol was the type to sit on the bench with no hopes of playing for two weeks. he’s got people to do, things to see, allison to seduce.
❝ looks like you won’t be having the house to yourself most days before six anymore. got to share it with your to-be big brother. should we start the BONDING exercises? ❞

great, she thought, just great. one of the few kol-free windows of time she had was being ripped away. no more afternoons freely lounging around the house. no more mid-evening dips in the pool (letting kol see her in a bikini would have been bad enough; but seeing him in just swimming trunks or worse, nothing at all, was unthinkable. but not unimaginable). she was seriously considering taking up an after school activity of her own. she’d almost settle for anything. ready to throw a witty comeback at him, she remembered she was still naked, covered in nothing more than a thin towel.
❝ how about we start with the one where you move out of the way and let me get dressed in peace? ❞
