CHAPTER III: Declaration of war 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes were scanning the frowning girl before me. Beach wavy brown chocolate hair above the waist, with light brown wicks. Green eyes and probably 5'7'' (1,71m). And damn, what hips she had!

I couldn't stand it anymore and licked my dry lips, until her voice interrupted my naughty thoughts. "Who the fuck are you?" Raising an eyebrow my attention was stolen by her mother, who was wide eye, "Caroline! Watch your mouth! He's Drake and he's staying with us from now on, whether you like it or not."

She was taken back for what her mother said, blinking few times. "So, you mean he's like a new brother?"Having me as a new 'brother' couldn't be as good as it sounded. Either way I liked the idea, even if incest wasn't my thing I was more than willing to expand my experience towards new horizons.

Forbidden fruits were always the sweetest. 

Gabriela spoke again, "Somehow, yes he is." For a moment not even a word left her lips, but then I saw her eyebrows furrowing, followed by an angry expression. "Not in this fucking world, mom."

I was watching amused the conversation. Surely, I would have liked to find a good use for that mouth of hers. 

Suddenly I saw her pointing at me in a dismissively way, which made me arch an eyebrow. "Look at him! He's the type of guy who would be the last I would trust." 

Bad move bitch, but smart one. It was good that Caroline didn't trust me, she hadn't reasons and I didn't trust her. I didn't have the intention on losing time with someone like her, a spoiled brat who just knew how to complain. 

I was trying to hold my laugh, because I never saw someone acting as childish as her. "It'snot the appearance that makes you be afraid of someone, but their past deeds that have made them who they are today." I explained, making her arc a trimmed eyebrow.

"Oh and you now are going to tell me that you're the typical bad boy who smokes and fuck every girls he sees, mmh?" A smirk made its way on my lips. I approached her slowly, like a predator getting ready to attack its prey.

"Carol-" Before her mother could finish, I interrupted her. "I can show you how dangerous I can be." Caroline pushed me away, slowly, with her hand on my chest. Although I liked the sensation, I hated her guts.

"Oh please show me, but you will regret to be born in this world, buddy." A sly smile on her lips, taunting me. 

When there was no answer from me, she smiled sweetly, obviously hiding her real intentions. It was evident I wasn't going to beat down for a girl. Not now, not ever. My pride and honor had more importance than a mere girl, so I decided to play her game if I wanted to be the winner.

"Make me." She raised her eyebrows at my challenge, surprised by the situation.

"What's this? A declaration of war? Because I accept it, and with pleasure. When I'll be done with you, you will beg my parents to change you home, since you're the new here, supported economically by them." Holly fuck, the girl didn't know what she just did.

She just sealed a deal with the devil. 

"Caroline Wyatt, you just signed your death sentence." My arms crossed on my chest, a smug smile on her face. "Oh, we will see."

"C'mon kids! Stop there!" Mr. Wyatt decided to cut the tension by himself. We didn't even realized we were alone, Gabby probably left to ask for help to her husband. Even so, no more words were exchanged, all we had to say was said. 

She turned towards her father, "No dad, we just finished." Not even glancing back at me, she made her way upstairs, to her room, bringing the suitcases with her. 

Nigel patted my shoulder lightly,  "Sorry Drake, she's a bit difficult..." I shrugged, difficult or not I wouldn't let that bitch win. "Don't worry Mr. Wyatt-" Suddenly he cut me, "Oh, call me Nigel." 

Nodding, I offered him a tiny smile, "Okay Nigel, I can handle your daughter. She's not that troublesome." He scoffed before stepping outside, in the garden, "You don't know her. I think we will be protagonists of the third world war."

He ran a hand through his hair before sighing,  "Do you want to help me with the surfboards?"

I didn't want to, but hey, in this case it was better to be nice and have her parents on my side. So, in that way, if we had an argument I would have had my ass saved. That my dear friends, was a simple yet effective strategy. I was in the enemy's territory, I had to have some type of plan. "Sure thing, what do I have to do?"

This was going to be very funny.

While her father took the surfboards, I payed attention at his explanation on what I had to do. Minutes after we heard Caroline rushing downstairs and telling her mother she was meeting up with someone.

"Who is this someone, Carol?" Nigel asked, but she didn't even have the guts to look at him, "Dad, it's none of your business." Giving us her full back, she walked towards the entrance hall. "Hey Caroline! You shouldn't-"

"Yeah, I love you too! Bye!" Before he could say his last words his daughter disappeared behind the main wooden door, closing it with a loud thud. Nigel met my gaze, he was infuriated. "It's a guy, I know it. It's a fucking guy!"

When I went upstairs I threw myself on my the bed, with my face on the soft cushion I let out a muffled scream. What the hell was thinking my mother about? Was she crazy? Sometimes I thought her work was too much to handle for her. There was a new person at home, in his what? Maybe twenties? It was pretty awkward, I had to live with a guy I didn't know, see his face everyday and use the same bathroom as him. Seriously? Why mom, why?

My thoughts were interrupted by my little demon aka my brother opening the door. "Hey sis! You look fatter." What an angel... He was waiting for my answer, looking around from the closed door behind his back. "I missed you too, little brat."

Yeah, he could be sweet because he was eleven and he had the looks of it, but I was the only one who knew him perfectly. It was just that sometimes I lost my patience, he was really good getting on my nerves.  

His quiet steps stopped by the window beside my desk, "I didn't miss you at all, sis." Such a bad liar he was.

He walked towards my bed and sneaked by my side. I raised my head from the pillow just to look at him, he was staring at the ceiling. Noticing my gaze, his brown eyes met my green ones. People usually said we were much alike to our parents. The only thing that changed between us was the color of our eyes.

"What?" I hated when he scoffed, I answered him shaking my head and resting my face on my beloved pillow. "What do you think of Drake?" My voice muffled, "What?" I raised just enough so he could understand me, "I asked, what do you think of Drake."

Raising up, I flipped on my back staring at the ceiling. Few minutes gone by until my brother's voice echoed inside my bedroom walls. "He's a cool guy. I like him." I hummed in response, I really didn't know what to think about him.

Theo turned his body, facing me, "Why did you ask? You already met him, didn't you? What do you think of him?" Shrugging I didn't lose time with my answer, "It's better if you don't know..."

He didn't answer me, but the silence was cut by my phone vibrating. It was a new message from Jayden. Instantly I got on my feet with a smile on my face, my hand took my smartphone and my finger tapped on the notification.

'Hey beauty! How did ur holidays go?'

How sweet from him! He remembered exactly when I'd have come back from Hawaii.  Jayden was the captain of our high school football team, and he had the looks to be one! He was so hot and nice!

Not losing even a moment I wrote him back, 'Actually surfing a lot, apu! How about u?'

We had been hanging around a lot, and we made out a few times. The thing was I liked him, but I didn't know if he felt the same way. Happily, like a little girl opening her new Christmas presents, I waited for his reply.

When his message tone, just for him, ringed I was already jumping in excitement. 'Aw... what a pity... I thought u missed me.'

'Mmh... well maybe just a little.' Holly water! I was grinning like an idiot. He missed me! Jayden Payne actually missed me!

'I want to see ur gorgeous face so I'm gonna to pick u up in ten min. Done?'

'I'm w4u.'  He answered me with a winking face emoji. 

Damn! Without a moment to loose I kicked my brother out of my room and changed into a blue fringe ripped pockets denim shorts, with a sleeveless spaghetti strap sexy chiffon white blouse, and followed by a closed white thong sandals. 

Before going outside I told my mother I was meeting up with someone and as per usual my father asked me for details... with Drake beside him. Not in this fucking world I was telling him what were my plans. When I closed the front door behind me, I saw Jayden in one of his father's 2008 red convertible Toyota Camry Solara, smiling at me.

"Hi Jay. You really missed me for what I see." Climbing on the car beside him and tying the seat belt he grinned, making my checks to flush crimson red. Dammit hormones!

"You cannot imagine how much." His deep and masculine voice stole all my attention. 

Before I could answer his lips were on mine, in a slow but tender kiss. Our mouths moved in synchrony, our tongues didn't have the chance to meet. How the hell could someone be as good and charming as him? "That was just a welcoming kiss, Caroline."

I heard him smirk, noticing my red face. Jerk. When I recovered from the almost nosebleed- just kidding, I regained my speak's ability. "Where to?" He kept his sight to the main road, a sly grin on his lips, "Mmh, I think I will keep it a secret." I pouted, making him laugh. Damn, that laugh made butterflies dance inside my stomach. 

We chatted along the way to the 'mysterious place' he was driven to. Not long after we arrived at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, killing the engine in the parking. I was super excited since it was two or three months I last set foot in that place. 

When I was about to open the door I heard his voice, "Don't." I stopped dead in my tracks, suddenly watching him walking around the car, doing what he denied me previously. "Really Jay? I'm a grown ass woman who can open her car door." A wide smile appeared on his lips, "I know, but I'm your gentleman."

That actually made me blush, hard. And it was harder not to 'fangirl' over him. 

Did he actually say yours?! Feeling his warm hand in mine I met his gray eyes with a touch of green. I was drooling over him, really. A 6'1''(1,85m) guy with broad shoulders, muscular frame and defined jawline. His messed dark chocolate hair and a day's beard made him look delicious. 

C'mon, who wouldn't stare at someone like him?

"Are you done staring at me?" His smooth yet, masculine voice brought me back from unicornland. A bit confused Jayden stared at me before he broke into fits of sexy chuckles, feeling ashamed I just shook my head and looked at my feet. "C'mon Jay, we have to go."

We spent time talking about the school, our holidays, his football team and my surf competitions. He payed for our ice creams and when we finished them we walked hand in hand along the beach. A soft breeze danced and joined the small waves of the ocean, the smell of the sea projected in my mind the image of liberty and the moon reflected on the crystal water.

It was a perfect night of August.

"Caroline." I hummed in response, but suddenly I felt his hand pushing my body towards his. I was speechless when his lips made contact with mine but it took me few seconds to kiss him back. Damn those lips, they were so soft. They were perfect. It was a simple, delicate and a gentle kiss that made me craving for more.

When we broke apart, I found myself speaking, my voice breathy, "What was that for?" He caressed my hair, our eyes locked, "I don't know, it's just I felt like I had to kiss you." 

I nodded and leaned against his warm hand, until his voice interrupted the moment. A thoughtful expression masked his face, "Listen Carol, I really like you but, I don't want to be just friends with you. I need, and want, something more serious."

I was a bit taken aback, he was deadly serious when he, well... He just confessed to me, right?! I swallowed hard for the nervousness. "You mean, like a couple?"

I felt a bit stupid for asking when it was obvious that he just asked me out, but I couldn't help it. He would have been my first boyfriend. He nodded, looking at me seriously and a bit anxious, probably for my answer. His hands moved to the back of my neck and I smiled sweetly at him.

"Okay." He raised and eyebrow making me giggle, "Just okay? Nothing more?" I shook my head, "Nope."

Suddenly I leaned up, tiptoeing, and sneaked my arms around his neck, sealing my lips with his. It was a mouthed open kiss and I enjoyed every second of it. We parted for a moment before he kissed me again, but this was different. This was a hungry but passionate kiss. His tongue licking my lower lip and obviously I gave him the access he was asking for. My hands gripped his hair, tightly, while his stopped at my hips, pulling me towards his body.

 I was delight by the kiss, and I loved how our mouths moved in synchrony, with his tongue leaving no place undiscovered. Until I felt his fingers travel down to grab my ass, while my hands were taking a tight hold on his T-shirt. 

I groaned and he whispered on my lips, "God, what a body you have." That made me giggle, while catching my breath back. Our eyes met, and I couldn't help but smirk. "Hands off Mr, I'm not a public whore."

He smiled seductively, and I bit my lower lip, "Aye sir."
