When?

Chapter 14

I made my way downstairs and to the kitchen, passing Arianna watching TV in the process without her acknowledging my presence

I sat around the kitchen island watching as the chef prepared what I asked of  him. After finishing, I made my way over to where Ari was, flopping down beside her

"Good morning," she smiled up at me, I returned the greeting

"Aren't you and my brother suppose to be going out?" she asked without turning away from the show

"Yes, but he's upset with me. I didn't even say anything wrong,"

"Well, what did you say,"

I told her what happened and she shook her head and sigh

"That's a VERY sensitive topic for him. You're lucky he even made you step foot in her room much less borrow her clothes,"

"Why did she leave in the first place?"

"Ace knows more than I do. But please bear with him. I know he can be difficult sometimes, but, he's nice," she smiled at me

"He is MY big brother after all,"

I gave her a quick nod then decided to get some fresh air

I'm still not forgiving him. He had no right to slam the door in my face

As I step outside I'm greeted with two unfamiliar faces

"Where's Alex and Justin?"

"Their shift hasn't started yet,"

"And i'm guessing you're not allowed to converse with me,"

"Correct,"

"Can I at least know your names?"

After a few moments of silence he spoke, "I'm Leo, he's Adam,"

"Leo, like the lion," I smiled but got no response

Tough crowd

I went to go back into the house when the door suddenly swung open, revealing Ace

"Let's go," he walked past me, grabbing my arm in the process, walking in the direction of the garage

"Excuse you," I pulled my hand from his grasp

"We're going shopping, remember?" he raised a brow

"We're not going anywhere because I'm not going anywhere with you,"

"Don't you remember slamming the door in my face or do you just not care," I folded my arms

I know I'm being petty but I couldn't care less

"I don't have time to be dealing with your bullshit. I'm not in the mood and it's almost noon. I just want to get this over with so stop being stubborn and get in the car,"

"I'm not going anywhere with you until you apologize,"

"Apologize?" he scoffed

"For what?"

"You're not seriously asking me why you should apologize,"

"I'm sure that's exactly what I just did,"

"YOU SLAMMED THE DOOR IN MY FACE,"

"You caused that on your damn self,"

"I can't believe this, you're so...ugh,"

"You take everything lightly. You laughed as if I was giving you a freaking joke,"

"I was trying to comfort you,"
