I'm sorry..

We made our way down to the kitchen looking like lost puppies trying to figure out what we wanted to eat. "Should I do strawberries or cookies?" Charlie hummed to me "Strawberries definitely" I whipped my head to her giving myself whiplash. Ouch.

I grabbed the milk cartoon and the cookies Charlie was basically drooling over to dip my cookies in the milk. "You do that too?? Gabriel says i'm so childish when I do that!" Charlie practically yelled.

"What do I call childish?" I heard a voice come from behind me. Charlie rolled her eyes at the sight of her brother "That I dip my cookies in milk!" I shook my head and continued to dip my cookies in my milk while Gabriel and Charlie argued over dipping cookies in milk.

I've only been living here a few days but this is my first time seeing Gabriel be happy for once. He has a great smile, I don't know why he doesn't do it more often.

"Do you need something?" Gabriel waved his hand in my face "Oh what?" I snapped out of my trance "You were staring at me" He looked at me with a blunt look again. "Oh sorry I didn't mean- leave her alone" Charlie cut me off giving her brother that one look. He rolled his eyes and walked to the fridge grabbing a water bottle and a coke

He sat down at the kitchen island and got onto his phone doing God knows what. Charlie walked out the kitchen with her freshly washed strawberry's plopping down on the couch. 

I stood at the kitchen island looking at him almost forgetting how to breath, "It's not nice to stare you know" He said not even looking up making me red.

I looked down at my cookies trying to fight the embarrassment but I could feel him staring at me like he was about to burn a hole through my head.

"It's not nice to stare" I mocked him receiving a glare from him. "Charlie's birthday is on Wednesday so tomorrow we are gonna go to Miami so we can celebrate it, start packing." He informed me

"What! Charlie didn't tell me her birthday's on Wednesday!" I obviously said yelling because Gabriel covered my mouth with one hand and holding me against his chest with the other. I suddenly forgot how to breath. I could tell he did too.

I looked up at him waiting for him to release me but he just stayed in that position looking down at me as well.

I saw his eyes glisten and jaw clench, he removed his hand from my mouth and I put my hand on his chest to put some distance in between us but he pulled me back in.

My eyes widen at the fact I felt something harden against my body. "I don't like what you're doing to me." He whispered into my ear making my panty dampen at the sound of his confession.

"I'm sorry.." I look up at him. He moves his head back releasing a small groan before he walks away to leave the room passing up Rowan standing there with a shocked face.

I stared at Rowan as Rowan stares back at me still shocked. He clenches his jaw and fists holding something back in him.

"I..uh.." I tried to spit out but he just turns around and fixes his white button up shirt as he walks away.

Rowan's POV
I walk to my room with a thousand thoughts running through my head as I just saw Iris and Gabriel all on each other.

I don't know why i'm so worked up about this because that technically is Gabriel's wife and I wouldn't have a chance because of my father plus the arranged marriage. Not to mention Gabriel is older and probably the best looking sibling; she'll never like me.

What am I talking about?? I don't like her. I shouldn't. My chest feels like it's about to explode or as if someone just shot me right through my heart. I run my hands through my hair trying to maintain myself and hold myself together.

I don't understand why I feel this way, I've never felt this way towards anyone. Not after how heartbroken I saw Gabriel after his first love, I vouched to never fall in love ever.

To get my mind off of whatever the hell i'm thinking I start packing for Charlie's birthday vacation.
