"I was so drunk I didn't even know, I'm so sorry!"

"Stop it, you were already leavin' with Ryder, it's not your fault."

Branna was fuming that Aideen got hurt, but found my interaction with Alec and Kane hilarious.

Branna glanced at me as I wiped under my eyes for the second time in the last few minutes.

"Are you cryin'?" she asked me, worry suddenly laced in her tone.

I nodded in Aideen direction. "Only with laughter, because this one told Kane she was a lesbian so he wouldn't chat her up."

Branna burst into laughter that made me snicker again.

"It was the only thing I could think to say at the time to throw him off."

I raised my brows. "Flat out tellin' him you weren't goin' to have sex with him was too hard to think up, was it?"

Aideen narrowed her eyes at me. "You're a bitch."

I shrugged. "That's true."

Branna snickered at mine and Aideen's banter and then nudged Aideen's shoulder. "I thought you told me in the club last night that you thought Kane was hot?"

Aideen sighed and moved towards the kitchen table with Branna. "He is hot, but I clearly gave him the wrong impression last night. I was obviously a little too forward with him and gave off a vibe that I was down to fuck, but I'm not. Now he thinks I'm a lesbian."

I laughed. "This is goin' to blow up in your face."

Aideen rolled her eyes. "It won't, I would make a brilliant lesbian."

"Do lesbians act a certain way or somethin'?"

Aideen shrugged. "I have no idea, but I'll just pretend I'm into the V and not the D. Kane will get the hint that I don't want his trouser snake eventually."

Branna and I burst out into laughter and it set Aideen off. After we calmed down, the growling from mine and Aideen's stomach could be heard which made Branna shake her head.

"I have to go shoppin' today, there is zero food in this house. I live with horses who inhale anythin' that resembles food, so I don't have much to offer," Branna said as she moved over to the fridge and opened it.

"I have small tins of tuna?"

I perked up. "I'll have a tin."

Aideen curled her lip up in disgust. "You're a knacker."

I grinned and shrugged my shoulders. I looked to Branna when she brought over my tin of tuna and a fork. I thanked her and pulled the pin off the tin and peeled the lid off.

"I love tuna," I mumbled as I filled my mouth with a large forkful.

Aideen heaved which made Branna chuckle.

"What are you eating?" Alec's voice asked.

I turned my head and watched as he and his brothers strolled into the kitchen all topless - none of them own shirts apparently - and looking like the Magic Mike cast, only much hotter.

I swallowed my food and tongue, but quickly cleared my throat and held up my tin of tuna and said, "Tuna."

Alec grinned at me. "I like eating things raw as well."

I dropped my fork and my damn tin of tuna!

"Alec!" I snapped.

Alec laughed, his brothers laughed, Aideen, and Branna laughed.

I was the only person red faced and silent.

I picked up my tin of tuna and my fork and placed them on the table in front of me then glared at Alec. "I'm leavin' now. I'm not waitin' around any longer for you to finish off whatever you're doin'."

Alec smiled. "Relax, kitten. I was packing my bags, they are in the hall so I'm ready to go too."

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Why do you have your bags packed?" I asked.

"This should be good," Ryder murmured.

Branna stood up and moved towards him which caused his eyes to solely focus on her and a smile to stretch across his face as she neared him.

I looked from them to Alec when he scratched his neck. "I'm moving in with you."

I stared at him blankly.

After a few moments I found my voice and said, "Can you repeat that?"

Alec rubbed his nose. "You want your family to believe we're a real couple and you said you wanted to take things slow so you can get used to me so... I'm moving in with you. By the time the wedding rolls round you will be more than used to me."

"She might hate you by the time the wedding rolls round," Nico muttered making Kane snort.

"I already hate him," I growled keeping my eyes trained on Alec who wouldn't make eye contact with me.

He opened his mouth to speak, but I held my hand up in the air keeping him silent as I got to my feet. "You're not movin' in with me Alec, and how fuckin' dare you just assume it would be okay!"

Alec sighed. "I barely have two days to get to know you. If you want us to appear as a real couple then I really have to get to know you."

"But why do you have to move in with me if-"

"Because this is an easier way to spend a lot of time with you. Think about it, I know you don't like me and that you think I'm a prick-"

"She would be right on that front," Kane snickered.

Alec continued talking as if Kane never spoke. "But spending a lot of time with me will get you used to me, thus you would be comfortable around me. I have no underlying motive here, I swear. I'm not looking to get lucky. I told you I'll make you beg me before I fuck you, remember?"

I felt my eye twitch as the brothers, and the girls cracked up laughing.

"You're a cocky bastard, you know that?" I growled to a grinning Alec.

"I'm well aware of it, yes."

It was impossible to insult him!

I folded my arms across my chest and stared Alec down, but his gaze never wavered.

I cracked and stomped my foot on the ground. "Fine, but you will follow me rules or you're out on your arse, you got that?"

"Of course, sweetheart."

Nico laughed and sang, "Alec and Keela sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-"

I held my hand up cutting Nico off and focused on Alec. "Our 'relationship' is fake, you'd do well to remember that."

Alec bowed to me and sarcastically said, "Of course it's fake, my lady."

His teasing ticked me off.

"Kiss me arse!" I snapped as Alec straightened back up.

"Present it and I will," he replied almost instantly.

I gaped at him.

You aren't supposed to reply back with anything other than a 'fuck you' when someone tells you to kiss their arse, no self-respecting person replies back to a dare with another fucking dare!

"I'm itchin' to smack that smug look off your face, playboy."

I looked to Alec's brothers when they laughed. Nico patted a grinning Alec on the back and chuckled as he said, "I'm fuckface, and you're playboy, the Irish are creative and funny with their insults, you've got to give them that."

Alec smirked. "That's for damn sure."

I sighed and lifted my hands to massage my temples, the slight pounding of a headache was starting to bother me again. I groaned loudly when I heard the grim reaper ringtone suddenly blare from my bag. That's all me and my headache needed, a conversation with my mother.

"Here we go," Aideen murmured.

I dug my phone from my bag and answer it as brightly as I could.

"Mornin', ma."

"Don't call me ma, you're not a sheep."

Well, hello to you, too.

"Mornin', mother." I said with a roll of my eyes.

Aideen grunted. "You should call her ma for the simple fact that she hates it."

I motioned for her to shut up, and she closed her mouth but she wasn't happy about it.

"Why haven't you called me about Micah and Jason's wedding? I've given you three whole weeks to mention it and nothing!"

Three whole weeks?

Even if I got the invitation on time that was still very short notice to be invited to a wedding in a different country!

"I only got the invitation today, the post man delivered it to Mr. Doyle's post box by mistake."

My ma dramatically gasped. "That damn Post Office, I knew I should have hand delivered it!"

It doesn't even surprise me that she is so involved with Micah's wedding, she probably planned the whole bloody thing.

I cleared my throat. "You think? A heads up that they were gettin' married in the first place would have been nice as well, mother."

I heard my mother tut and it pissed me off.

"It was very last minute Keela, Jason only proposed to Micah six weeks ago."

I widened my eyes. "He proposed six weeks ago and now they are gettin' married in one? Is Uncle Brandon payin' for this?"

It must be expensive as hell booking everything on such short notice.

Aideen snorted. "Of course he is payin' for everythin'."

"Keela, that is none of your business."

That meant yes.

"I still think it's very soon for them to get married."

"Keela, you have got to get over Jason."

Was that a joke?

"I am over Jason! I don't care that he is gettin' married. I just care that I have to fuckin' be there when it happens!" I snapped.
