"Thank you." I smiled at him as he handed me the aspirin and the water. I quickly swallowed two of the aspirin, and then I heard footsteps.

"Ryder now listen to me." Ryder's look shifted from me back to his brother.

"I'm listening."

In the meantime, I took my time admiring him. He looked so good without even trying. The way his jawline was slightly tensed now while talking to his brother, his eyes looking at him so intensely, showing that he was fully listening to him.

Now my eyes moved down to his arms again. They were fully covered with tattoos, and the veins on them made him look even hotter.

"Can you take over today?" I then heard his brother's voice, slowly coming out of the trance I was in while staring at him.

"Sure, nothing new anyway." Ryder just said, his hip now leaning against the kitchen counter as I looked down and bit my lower lip.

I shouldn't have this amount of unholy thoughts right now-

"Cariño, what do you want for breakfast?" I then heard his voice and looked up again. He looked at me, now crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Oh I can also make something, you've done more than enough for m-"

"Firstly, you're my guest, secondly, mi mamá raised me to treat a woman like a queen, so I won't let you cook." I looked down again, blushing softly at his words.

How can a man be so fucking perfect? If I ever meet his mom, I need to thank her for raising such a fine man.

"Make whatever you want, I am not a picky eater." I said, looking up at him again and smiling softly again.

He nodded, before walking over to the fridge, humming while looking through it. I just stared at his broad shoulders, sighing softly.

I'm such a lucky woman for being able to stare at him without having to pay.

"Victoria?" I heard his brother's voice next to me and screamed on the inside.

I wanna stare at your brother jesus!

"Yes?" I turned my face to face him, looking into his eyes while waiting for him to continue talking. He looked at his brother for a moment, making sure he wouldn't hear before leaning a bit closer, whispering: "I don't know how you managed to make my brother help you, but I guess that he likes you, don't fuck it up."

After that he quickly leaned away again before walking up to his brother, talking to him while Ryder made fried eggs and bacon for all of us.

The words from before kept running through my head, and I just stared at both of them.

What did he mean by that?

"Alejandro stop getting on my nerves." Ryder said, and I chuckled quietly.

"Ryder is in love!" Alejandro just continued to 'sing' dancing around the kitchen as I laughed softly. Ryder just shook his head while continuing making the food, before turning off the stove and placing the finished food on three plates.

"Just see." In the next moment he had Alejandro in a head lock, ruffling his hair while he begged Ryder to let go.

"Fuck off man!"

"Shut your stupid mouth before I shut it for you, idiota." He said before letting go off his younger brother, slapping the back of his head and then walking back to the kitchen.

I couldn't stop laughing because of this situation. I never had siblings, so seeing how siblings treat each other was always interesting for me, and now it was just funny.

When I stopped laughing, I saw Ryder looking at me with a soft look in his dark eyes.

"You have a beautiful laugh."

"Oh shut up." I just said, walking over to the table as Alejandro was currently putting everything we needed for breakfast on there.

"You want a coffee?" He asked me.

"Fuck yeah. With sugar and milk please."

"Got you." He said before walking back into the kitchen and I sat down, waiting for the two of them to also come and sit down with me.

I felt bad for not doing anything, instead just letting the two men do everything, but after Ryder said it like that, about being raised to treat women good, I couldn't argue with him.

After a few more moments, Ryder sat down opposite from me, yawning one time before his eyes stopped on me, a small grin forming on his face.

"I could definitely get used to waking up next to you, and eating breakfast with you." I just chuckled softly at that, feeling myself turn a bit red.

"Oh Ryder, stop saying that." I liked his flirty behaviour, I really did, but he made me flustered so easily. And I hated that fact.

"Oh you just wait, one day I will make sure of it that you're not shy around me no more." He just grinned before starting to eat. I bit my lower lip while looking down, grinning widely before I started to eat.

I don't even know that man and my heart still goes crazy because of him.

"Here." Alejandro said while placing the cup of coffee next to me, then a black coffee next to Ryder.

"Thank you." I smiled before taking a small sip.

The breakfast was quite interesting. We just talked and I got to know the two better.

Somewhat their personalities are so alike, and at the same time so different. Alejandro is a pretty cheeky guy, and he loves to get on Ryder's nerves.

I found out that Ryder is 27 while Alejandro is 21, so it's obvious that Ryder is more mature than his younger brother.

"Well I'm 24." I said, leaning back in my chair as I finished with my breakfast, my hand placing on my stomach as I was full.

"You just turned 24 or will you turn 25 this year?" Alejandro asked curious.

"I will turn 25 in august." I said.

"Ah that's pretty soon." He said, finishing his coffee.

Suddenly a phone rang and I then saw how Ryder looked at his phone annoyed.

"That's important." He said while holding his phone up, leaving the room shortly after. I looked after him for a moment before turning to his brother.

"What did you mean before? About Ryder liking me and stuff?" He looked at me confused for a moment before realising what I meant. He thought for a moment before saying: "I shouldn't talk to you about this, and I won't tell you anything. Just... Ryder is not the type of person to help strangers."

I looked at him, his answer confusing me even more.

"Just ask him one day, okay?"

I will.
