*End of Flashback*
My chuckling must have caught their attention, because they all turned to look at me. Jayden, Rapheal, and the driver were all staring at me.
"Ashy, you okay?"Disconnecting his Bluetooth, Rapheal turned to face me.
"Well, uh..."I am alright, I was just e..rmm thinking," I grinned and winked at Jayden."I would love Paris."
My brothers used their peculiar eye contact technique to communicate; perhaps they were using telepathy. Rapheal simply shrugged and put his Bluetooth back on.After giving me another long look, Jay sighed briefly and turned away.
I could read their facial expressions.Packing is not Ashira's favorite thing to do.True enough. I hated moving, but now I am saying, "I love Paris."
As we drove past, I looked out the window to see the tall trees swaying to the rhythm of the wind.I sank back into the chair with a moan.
Uncontrollably, I closed my eyes, feeling the wind lift my hair off my face.
Opening my eyes while still looking out the window, I saw those dripping claws once more. "What was that in the bush?" I asked myself. I swear I saw movement in the bushes.
Those two scarlet eyes.
My head turns away, and I face forward...I would rather not look back.I have to clear my mind of that image.
"Ashy, you okay?" Rapheal enquired.
I suppose he noticed my terrified expression.I simply nodded. I attempted to resist falling asleep despite feeling extremely lightheaded. Ashira found it difficult to close her eyes for even a brief moment because it brings back unpleasant memories and unsettling thoughts.
We have been driving for nearly six hours and are currently essentially in the woods. "Where in the United States was this?"I pondered.
Jayden turned to face me and said, "Princess, you should take a nap. You seem stressed."
I quickly snapped out of my thought because, although I was stressed, I do not want to ever meet that creature or being again. Her long canines and the blood still lingered in my memory.
Taking hold of my right hand, Rapheal drew me in and said, "You should sleep on my laps." He then winked at me, making me feel attracted to him. "Come to daddy, Ashy," he said, biting his lower lip and grinning.
"Eew!!! Gross," I teased, hitting his ribcage with my elbow, and we all laughed.
"What do you say to daddy?" he asked, licking his lower lip and half closing his eyes... honestly speaking, if Rapheal had not been her brother, she would have grabbed those magical lips of his and savored the moment, but *sigh* he was my brother.
"Doggy or cowboy," he winked at me, revealing those divinely created teeth.
"Yuck!!! RAPHEALLL!!!! ", I gave him a fierce glare while covering my ears with my hands.
"Rapheal," Jayden said, turning to face us and grinning slightly. "I do not want you telling her that," he said, pretending to be serious with Raphael while grinning gently at me.
Jayden used to think that I was a newbie at this.I was not an adult until next year, but neither was I a toddler. Jay had always thought of me as a cute, naive little girl who did not know anything about those garbage doings.
Closing my eyes, I lay on Raphael's laps.All I had to do was stay awake.
Ashira was an ordinary girl—a holy sinner, if you will.I was heavily exposed to adult themes such as body language, sex styles, and lip kissing.Having a brother like Raph had a significant impact on me, as I read a lot of romance novels.
Speaking of Rapheal's influence on me, there is this dark secret between us that Jayden may or may not be aware of; who knows? Perhaps he just chooses to ignore it because nothing ever seems to escape his dark brown eyes.
The secret, shhhhhh...
We get to spend the weekend alone at home because Jayden rarely returns, and even when he does, it is only for a quick visit to say hello and see how we are doing.
Nah. Nah .Nah, he is not visiting his girlfriend or anything like that. Jayden is a total saint, and I often wonder if he is ever had a kiss. He visits his boyfriends and plays games all day long. Taking advantage of the situation, naughty Rapheal brings home a variety of girls, including short, fat, slim, tall, and so on.
Then he locks up his door for the longest hours while blasting loud music, and the most annoying thing of all is that the girls end up taking one of my gowns with them when they leave for home.The silliest response I have ever heard was from Rapheal when I asked him why they never returned their clothes to their original location.
"Prince charming tore their clothes. Cheers!"
*sighs*
Some of the girls had to take pills before leaving the house, and the majority could not even get out of his bed until the next day..
