Just as I was about run and make my escape, I felt two strong arms wrap tightly around my waist and pull me into a strong embrace. I sighed, giving in and shaking my head slightly, laughing silently as I felt the flour and God knows what else Phoenix had on his body rub onto mine.

"Adri, are you done yet," Pyper knocked on the door of her en suite. We were getting ready in her room and currently, I was in the shower, making sure I washed off all the bloody flour Phoenix had so kindly given to me and my hair.

"Finished," I yelled shrilly a moment later as I shut off the faucet and wrapped myself in my towel. Taking a glance at myself in the mirror, I was pleased to see all the flour washed out and my baby hairs curling slightly from the heat and steam of my shower.

Pyper stepped into the washroom just as I stepped out. My gaze flickered to her white ceramic clock seeing it strike six pm. Our little party was already in full swing, evident with the loud music, my music, - nice to know they stole my bloody phone - the guys had blaring and the guys' loud conversing I could hear through Pyper's opened window.

I dried my skin before moisturising with coconut oil infused lotion. Once I was finished, I put on my bikini, my Alix from Triangl - a midnight blue velvet side-tie bikini. I smiled at myself when my eyes fell on the full length mirror, I was so teasing Phoenix tonight, especially since his birthday was tomorrow.

"Are you trying to royally fuck my brother up tonight," Pyper asked cheekily as she stepped out of the washroom wrapped in a robe and wringing her hair with her towel and I giggled. A second later, my eyes widened when she loosed her hair, seeing it flawlessly clean from any oil or food substance she had in it earlier.

"H-How did you clean your hair that quick," I sputtered out.

"I had Phoenix help me scrub it in his washroom's sink while you were showering of course," she smiled. A small 'aw' left my mouth at their brother-sister relationship and their obvious affection they had for one another.

"But for real babe, that bikini is sexy as bloody fuck, my brother is definitely going to lose his mind tonight," she eyed me from head-to-toe, nodding in approval with a devilish grin.

Pyper pulled out her own bikini, a sweetheart black and nude one piece that pronounced her curves and her cleavage.

"I'm going to 'royally fuck your brother up tonight,'" I stated rhetorically with an arched eyebrow, "Look at you, babe, you're practically begging for your brother to start the Worthington-Piers Revolution," I stifled my laughs.

"Oh my god, shut up," she rushed out in a murmur, her hands flying up to cover her cherry red face.

"I wonder..." I trailed teasingly, "Is Talon going to be the first to throw a hit?"

"Adrianna," the girl shrieked behind her hands, flinging a pillow my way as I broke down into obnoxiously livid laughter.

Fifteen minutes and whole lot of teasing later, we were both dressed in our bikinis with classic Pura Vida bracelets stacked on our hands and waterproof mascara coating our lashes. I threw on a sheer lace cover-up whilst Pyper threw on a black lace crochet tunic cover-up.
