Aesira

"This movie is boring," I said laying back on the couch. Athena insisted on having a movie night even though it was just the two of us. We never really watched movies growing up, we stayed in our rooms locked away the whole day. I don't even think I've watched a full movie.

"Then you pick something" she threw the remote on my lap. I smiled at her and grabbed it scrolling throughout channels "there's nothing good on" I said scrunching my face

I heard her sigh loudly

A knock came from the door making us both sit up straight. "Who would be here at this time?" She asked me. I shrugged my shoulders handing her back the remote and walking to the door. "Who is it," I said halfway but no one responded.

I opened the door an inch and looked out. My body released seeing Carter just standing there on his phone. He looked up at me smiling. "Why are you standing like that" he looked me up and down. I opened the door fully and straightened my body.

"Why are you here so late?" I asked, he shrugged his shoulder. "I was bored" he replied.

"Go sleep with someone, isn't that what you usually do?" I raised a brow. He nodded his head admittedly "true but As you know I'm forbidden to sleep with anyone in this place and I'm not in the mood to hide them" he sighed

"Go to the motel we met in" I smiled and tried closing the door but he held his hand up stopping me "it closed down" he groaned. I pressed my lips together looking back at Athena.

Athena bit her thumbnail looking at me with the same emotion. She stood up from the couch walking towards us putting on a kind smile. "Well, Aesira be nice. Wanna watch a movie with us?" She offered.

I silently cursed her and walked away. "I would love to" he placed a hand on his heart and walked in following me to the couch. Athena closed the door locking it in the process and sitting on the other side of him so he was in the middle.

He looked at the TV confused. "You guys don't have Netflix," he said shocked. I've heard of it but I've never had it. "No," Athena said.

"Give me the remote" he raised his hand. Athena dropped the remote in his hand confused. He clicked something which led to multiple apps appearing including Netflix. "Every television here has it downloaded they just have to add their account" he informed us.

"Only problem. We don't have an account" I told him a pre-K of laughter seeping through my words. "Well from your reactions I can tell. I'll just log in with mine and you guys can use it" he started typing in his account.

"You know what they say," he said as if we already knew. I looked at him with a blank stare. He rolled his eyes continuing to type "a man who gives you their Netflix is a man who gives you their heart" I don't think I've ever heard that.

"Who says that," Athena asked him seriously. He looked at her with his mouth open. "You guys are like two newborn babies with the speech and body of a twenty-something-year-old" he shook his head.

"Whatever just pick a movie so we can watch it and I can sleep" I crossed my legs and brought my hair to one side so I could put it in a quick braid. He scoffed at me. The screen turned black for a few seconds then appeared two names under two boxes.

Carter had his own and then Damon's name was under one. "Boss uses this?" Athena asked. "Once in a blue moon. I don't know Ben knows why he gets the need to make another" Carter told her. I bit the inside of my cheek while he clicked his account and started scrolling.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you what did he want yesterday?" Athena brought up suddenly. She could have picked any other time than when his brother was sitting in the middle of us. My eyes remained forward. "You met up with him again yesterday" Carter turned his head to me knowingly. He was convinced something was going on since he saw my shirt laying on the floor the first time.
