Chapter 168

Chapter 0168 “That is all I care about. I have spent 17 years of my life watching out for you and making sure you were as enfe as possible. I love you but you really took up a good chunk of my life.” Colt joked.

“Jeez, how nice of you.” I tried not to smile.

“Knowing you are safe and happy here is allowing me to do what i need to do on my end. Yes, I was upset, frustrated and stressed but as you can see, I am good now. Twelve hours later and I am back to my old self. All problems solved. You just need to worry about you and passing your test on thursday”

“I could have past them when I was ten.” I said slightly annoyed but trying not to smile.

“If you would have done that, you wouldn’t have met Alec.” Colt pointed out.

“I met him here, not at school.” I reminded him.

“But it was school that he heard about you.”

“That’s a stretch but since I’ll get a better grade than you, I’ll give it to you.” I said as I patted him on the arm.

“What a good little sister!” Colt patted the top of my head before he forced me into a full hug.

“Can’t breath!” I faked after a few minutes.

“Do you feel better now?” Colt asked as he pulled me away but kept his hands on my arms.

“I do.”

“You could try to have a little more faith in me.” Colt faked looking hurt. “I get frustrated one time and this is how you respond?”

“Hey! It wasn’t just you but everything. A lot has happened these later two weeks.” I said in my defense as I slapped his arm.

“I’ll give you that but you need to remember it is okay to not be okay. I do need you to be strong in public but it’s okay to not be okay behind closed doors. I would say cry but...” Colt trailed off.

“Alright. I’m done talking about it.” I said as he was starting to hit too many emotions after he fixed my broken ones. “I love you, sis.” Yean, Colt gave me a look. “I thought you were past that?”

“Past what?”

“Not liking saying I love you.”

“I reserve them for true heartfelt moments.” I gave him a ‘I don’t know what to tell you’ look.

“This isn’t a heart felt moment?”

“You were always the cheesy one.” I laughed.

“Alright well, I love you but I got to go.”

“L-love you too.” I said sarcastically.

“Needs some improvements but I’ll take it.” Colt shook his head at me.

“Good, because that is all you are getting.” Colt smirked before turning and shaking Alec’s hand. They even did a little bro hug before Colt walked out of the shop.

I just stood their and looked at Alec awkwardly for a second before he sighed and walked up towards me.

“Feel better now?”

“Maybe.” I said as I looked down and away from him.

A little growl escaped Alec as he bent over and grabbed the back of my thighs. He picked me up a wrapped my legs around him before he carried me to a counter top and set me down. I was comp pinned. His hand cupped my neck before grabbing some hair and forcing me to look at him. A soft mo escaped my l*ps as I looking into his eyes.

“I’ll never understand the power Colt has over you but this b*dy is mine to work.” He said huskily as he lowered his l*ps against mine. My hands sl*pped under his shirt to his bare skin. Too soon, he moved his head back to look into my eyes.

“I’m sorry.” I said without thinking.

“You have nothing to be sorry for.” Alec searched my eyes.

“Feels like I do.”

“Are you happy with me?” Alec asked.

“What kind of question is that?” I was a little taken aback. “After all we have been through, you are
