Skylar felt grief-stricken over the deaths of the teenagers in this small town. She knew it would change this town forever. The peace and tranquility it once had might never be the same. She, however, using logic was unable to believe the two strangers had anything to do with it.
"It's such a shame," She said with a sigh before sipping a little of her hot cup of coffee, a little smile of mischief broke between her lips as she asked, "Your cheeks blushed a little sister when you talked about the brothers,"
"Huh?, what are you talking about?," She panicked with a sheepish smile quickly rubbing both her cheeks, "Eh must be the cold,"
"I have known you long enough sister to know when you get butterflies when talking about a crush,"
"CRUSH!!" Her breath hitched as her tone echoed nervously through the shop, Mr Oliver catching wind of it approached with a smile. Did he hear it correctly?, had his daughter finally found love?
"Did I hear crush?," Mr. Oliver asked with a smile
"Our little Alexa is in love Father," She crossed her arm around her busty chest. Alexa blushed and let out a defensive glare. Argh couldn't her busty brain-dead sister keep her voice a little low?, Tsk...luckily there wasn't anyone left in the shop but them.
"Oh is this true?," Her father's interest in their conversation skyrocketed
"Tsk..you make it seem I am some cold-hearted cursed witch incapable of falling in love Father," She let out a sigh
Alexa sat across from her sister, Skylar as they sipped their coffee. Although Alexa denied it Skylar could read her emotions like an open book. Alexa had been acting rather strange, always blushing and stuttering when she talked about the sexy hot strangers in town. She was certain she was crushing hard on one of the brothers.
"So Alexa," Skylar began, her tone mischievous. "Who's the lucky guy that has you so flustered?"
Alexa's face turned bright red as she fidgeted in her seat. "I don't know what you're talking about," she mumbled into her cup, "Tsk...don't you have something better to talk about than bore Father with your baseless fantasies,"
"Oh, come on," Skylar teased. "I've known you since you were born, I can tell when you're crushing on someone. Spill it, who is he?"
"I don't want to talk about it," She said, her eyes darting around the café as if afraid the boy in question might overhear. Mr Oliver noticing her nervousness slowly walked away. Perhaps she felt embarrassed to tell her crush in his presence. He chuckled at the thought.
Skylar, however, leaned in with a smirk on her lips. "Is he really that hot to captivate you in a moment's glance?"
Alexa gulped audibly. "It wasn't a moment, I had a chat with him."
"Huh?, when was this?,"
"Early this morning, Tommy wanted to have a word with the brothers so I tagged along," She responded as her cheeks reddened further remembering Lucifer's whores scattered nakedly on the floor and his mouth drooling physique.
"Fuck now I'm thinking about that Lunatic now?," She harshly slapped herself on the cheeks
Skylar rolled her eyes. "You're so obvious. Why won't you just admit that you like him?"
"I don't like him," She insisted, though her shaky voice and the way she avoided eye contact said otherwise.
Skylar laughed. "Sure, you don't. If you keep denying it, you'll burst from all the pent-up feelings."
Alexa glared at her playfully. "Tsk..." She clicked her tongue in distaste
"Fine, I'll drop it," Skylar relented, though she knew she wouldn't let it go that easily. "But if you ever need to talk about your, feelings, I'm here for you."
Alexa rolled her eyes but couldn't help smiling a little. "Thanks, I guess," she said as her heart skipped a beat as the doors swung open. Could it be? no, it couldn't, he wouldn't possibly visit only after a few hours apart. Her heart raced as she slowly adverted her gaze alongside Skylar to the door.
"Oh, my God!" Both the girls exclaimed, both having different reasons, Alexa because he had shown up and Skylar for how insanely inhumanely attractive he was. Alexa turned to the windows and discovered it was already a few minutes past sunset, she had been so focused on her conversation with Skylar, that she had failed to notice the sunset.
Lucian walked into the quaint little bookshop in the middle of town and could hear the faint sound of a bell chiming as he brushed past the doorway.
"Hello," He stood tall and confident. His golden hair glistened brilliantly in the illuminated lighting in the shop. Each strand was perfectly in place, framing his chiseled jawline and striking cheekbones. His eyes held the color of sunlight, a bright golden ray that pierced through with an inner fire.
His long and lean build accentuated his height, making him seem even more imposing. Both girls couldn't help but gawk at how beautiful he was.
"Who...who the hell is that snack?," Skylar asked unable to recognize the stranger. Wait a minute was this one of the brothers she talked about?, she thought
"What?, he visited in a few hours?," Alexa voiced her thoughts as her cheeks heated red. She hadn't expected him to visit this quickly. It was a total surprise.
He moved with fluid grace, every muscle in his body seeming to be perfectly coordinated and in sync with one another. His broad shoulders and defined chest filled out his shirt in all the right places, and his biceps strained against the sleeves as he walked toward Alexa's father.
"Good evening sir, how may I help you?," Mr Oliver asked astonished by the stranger's beauty. He recognized the man as one of the brothers who visited the town last night. what brought him here?, he didn't take him for a book kind of person.
"A friend invited me, I'd like to try out a few books," There was an air of mystery and allure about him that drew people in, and his voice was deep and smooth like silk. His smile was rare, but when as it came, it was radiant, his teeth gleaming pearly white and his eyes crinkling at the corners.
"A friend?," Mr Oliver asked
"Yes, your daughter Alexa..."
"I'll take it from here father," Alexa chimed in with a smile while Mr Oliver knitted his brows. When did they meet?, and was this the stranger she had fallen in love with? he hoped not, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but the beautiful man seemed different. He reeked trouble.
"It's okay Dad," She reassured with a smile
"I'm Lucian, Mr. Oliver, please feel at ease with my presence, I'm as harmless as a butterfly, be rest assured, your daughter is in safe hands, " Lucian exuded confidence and charm, that anyone who crossed his path couldn't help but be taken in by his strange yet magnetic personality.
With his striking features and innate charisma, he seemed like the kind of person who could accomplish anything he set his mind to. He worded his words so perfectly that Mr Oliver found it difficult to refute his presence.
"What...what are you doing here?," She asked dragging him a few distances away from Skylar's piercing gaze.
"Accepting your invitation," He replied with a soft smile that seized her breath
"Argh why does he have to be so perfect?," She said shaking off the thought of claiming his perfect lips here and now.
"Breathe sunshine," He teased.
"Sunshine?," His word of endearment echoed in her head as she felt butterflies in her stomach. Why does he have to be so perfect in every way? both with looks and words.
"You could at least give me a heads up," She grumbled with pouted lips.
"I couldn't stay too long away from you,"
