THREE

~~ 

"Are you alright?" I nervously nodded, moving aside so did Javi giving room for the person cleaning the spilt wine and picking up the broken glass.

Javi held my waist with his firm hand making me look up to give the best smile I could conjure at that moment, I looked around purposely avoiding to looking at Ace, I caught some people still staring, I gave an assuring smile to some familiar faces, before facing my current problem.

Ace.

"Pardon me, it must be the striking resemblance that shocked me" I lied, silently hoping that the Ace guy won't say a thing about our encounter.

Soon I realized my lie doesn't make sense, resemblance? They look nothing alike. I mentally slapped myself, I'm so stupid.

Why would I say that?

Javi has chubby cheeks, which makes him look cute, he could skillfully pass off for a teenager with his glasses. His black hair always neatly swept back, unlike Ace, from our previous encounter and now, I think he maintains the "just got out of bed " hair.

Oh, they also have similar eye color, I believe Ace has a darker brown shade than Javi, even with these similarities they look so different plus, Ace has a structured face and muscular body, he probably gyms a lot.

"Let's just say we don't get that a lot." Javi jokes, I let out a nervous laugh, it probably sounds like a cry for help. My eyes flickered around before settling on Ace, he's staring directly at me with a smirk playing on his deadly lips.

Holy jeez

"As the moron said, I'm Ace." He stretches his hands forward, I hesitated before connecting mine with his. The electricity that I felt as soon as our hands connected made me to let go immediately, I looked down nervously biting my lips. I noticed the girl helping to clean leaving so I muttered a quick thank you.

"My brother failed to inform me how beautiful you are, then again he tells me nothing, seriously bro?" He joked, I let out another awkward laugh, I looked at Javi, noticing he's glaring at his brother.

Well, at least I know why I wasn't informed that he has a brother, they seem not to get along very well.

"Thanks." My voice so low, its almost a whisper, I gulped turning to Javi.

"I need to use the restroom," I informed, I really need to get out of here, I need to fucking breathe. Javi nodded smiling at me.

Here comes the guilt.

"Excuse me." I sent a fake smile towards Ace's direction before walking away from that intense environment, I scanned the hall until I finally set my eyes on Gem.

I walked over to her direction, waving to familiar faces until I got to where Gem was at. I soon noticed she was talking to some random guy.

"We need to talk," I whispered in her ear as she was backing me.

"Wait, now?" She turns to me, I sent a smile to the dude she was chatting with.

"Yeah." I dragged her along as she muttered "I'll be back" to the guy.

~~~

"Seriously girl, you can't be doing that. I was totally hitting it off with that guy, I was hoping we would end up face on face by the end of the night." I rolled my eyes, she really has no filter.

"The guy from Friday night is here." She gasped as soon as those words rolled off my mouth.

"Holy shit." She grinned, does she think this is funny? Of course, she finds it amusing, she's crazy.

"He's Javier's brother." Hoping this new piece of information would make her take me seriously, nope it didn't.

"Damn girl." I let out a frustrated sigh, noticing the grin on her face.

"You need to tell me all about it." She urged.

"I'm not alright, I'm panicking." I walked around, hoping it would calm my nerves.

"Calm down." She placed her hands on my back, I stood still.

"But seriously, how could you not know about his brother?"

"I met Javi a month ago, sue me." I lashed out.

"I'm so screwed, aren't I?" I turned to look at her.

"You are not, it was just one steamy kiss." I glared at my best friend.

"What if he tells Javi?" Fuck! I haven't given it that much thought, this is bad, really bad.

"Loren, he..." She was interrupted by a knock on the door causing me to yelp.

The door opens, revealing - shit! It's Ace, I moved awkwardly as Gem turns around.

"I'll just leave you guys." My eyes widened, as she walks out muttering a sorry, why would she do this? I really need to review her status as my best friend. The door was shut as Ace was fully inside, making the restroom seem small.

I gulped slowly as he's now inches away from me.

"I always doubted my brother's taste in women but now.." He bites his lips, I gulped remembering how soft it was.

"Abo- about our last encounter, I'd really appreciate it if we put it behind us." Moving back a little noticing he's close to me.

"I agree, we totally should." I stood still realizing I'm resting on the wall.

"Yeah." I nervously said as he moved closer, his scent hit my nostrils.

He smells so fucking amazing.

"Yeah." He's dangerously close to me now, I bite down on my lips, he looks down at it, as he licked his lips, leaving me wanting to capture them with mine.

He looks at me so intensely causing my heart to beat faster than normal. He finally smashes his lips on mine, and all worries and guilt fade away. I grabbed his neck to deepen the kiss, electricity running through my body, as I enjoyed the taste of his carnal mouth.

His firm hands trailed from my waist down to my butt before giving it a light squeeze, causing me to let out a moan into his mouth.

He lifted me up by my butt, I wrapped my legs around his waist, feeling his erection up against my thighs.

Holy shit.

I grinded on it, he let out a sexy grunt, just then I heard a knock on the door bringing me back to reality.

What have I done?

I unwrapped my legs in panic as he let me down, I adjusted my dress refusing to look up at him. A knock was heard again, making my heart beat faster.

Why am I so stupid?

"Loren, you are needed out here." I mentally thanked my stars that it's Gemma, couldn't be more excited that she stopped me, God knows how far we would have gone. I'm getting married to an amazing person, this was wrong on many levels, plus he is his brother for fuck sake.

"I'm sor- sorry this shouldn't have happened." I finally looked up into his lust-filled eyes.

O my

I gained the courage to walk out, closing the door behind me, I ashamedly looked up at Gemma as she gave me a knowing look.

"Baby girl, you are so screwed now." For the first time, Gemma was right.

I am screwed.
