Battle Of The Badasses

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

*Alex POV*

In the week that I've known 'the crew', I've learned 5 things.

1. Carter and Victoria argue over absolutely everything. They could agree with each other but still argue. Why? That leads me to my next point.

2. Victoria is the youngest. Carter is the youngest of the twins and is reminded of it every day so he decides to boss around Victoria, who doesn't take it so well. Speaking of Victoria.....

3. The other Michaels child (Dominic if you didn't catch my flow) is shockingly quiet. Unless he's questioning me but Victoria would disagree and say "no, it's unless you're around period." Whatever that means.

4. Dominic also loves social media. The entire time we've been sitting on the couch watching Magic Mike with everyone, he's been on MY Picturegram and has the nerve to actually like stuff! I don't know if it's only me but I find my social media very private. Next point.

5. These are my type of people to hang around.

I've never quite had a group of friends, just one or two I could tolerate like Erica, but I actually like them! It's a big step honestly. Looking around, Layla and Callum are cuddled up on the love seat, Tori is laying on a bean bag facing the TV, and Carter is laying on his back beside Tori groaning about food as usual. Dominic is sitting on the opposite end of the couch with my feet in his lap and my phone in his hand, on Picturegram. He'd beat me in an addiction to technology contest.

I kicked his leg closest to me but he just grunted. I tried to kick him again, key word: tried. He caught my foot and just kept scrolling. I huffed in irritation. His face grew smug. "Need something Princess?"

"Yes frog I do, can I have my phone?"

"Can you guys shut up? Channing Tatum is on." Tori said.

"He's been on this entire time."

"Did I ask you if he was? You shut up too Carter."

"I just said one thing!" As always, they continued, getting louder and louder with every statement. Good thing I didn't have neighbors, it's close to 12 and they really wouldn't appreciate the Bickering Bunch at the moment. I turned my attention from them back to Dom and flexed my foot in his hand to get his attention. I only knew I accomplished my goal because his eyebrow rose.

"I'm bored, I need my phone." He went in his pocket and threw me his phone. I caught it before it left a bruise on my forehead and huffed again. "I want mines not yours."

"No, yours is much more interesting."

"Fine. Password?" Typically, he took his phone back and let his phone scan his finger print before putting it back in my hand and going back to like random picture. I opened Picturegram on his phone and went to follow myself before I liked every single one of my pictures acting to be him. He grinned, checking my notifications, and shook his head. "You're about to cause a lot of trouble for that Princess." Oh he had no idea. I ran into the kitchen and took a bomb ass selfie and posted it with the caption "Bae" with a red heart and crown emoji just to humor him. Once satisfied, I sat back in my seat and acted innocent. Tori and Carter we're still arguing but Carter joined in while Layla raised the volume of the TV to hear the characters.

Dom's phone started vibrating like crazing with notifications from Picturegram. I mean, he had over 5k followers, it's not surprising.

Out of curiosity, he took his phone and went to see the damage I'd done. He looked at me, I smiled cheekily back. "You have 5 seconds to run." Did I move? No. Was I crazy? Debatable.

"1." I looked at Layla for help but she was consumed by male strippers. Do they have a professional name?

"2." Tori knows her brother the best, she'd help right?

"3." No, she's too busy fighting Carter. Yes, fighting. Girl could hold her own I'll give her that.

"4." Fuck it. I sprinted as hard my legs could take me.

"5." Dominic somehow managed to get to the stairs in three steps by the time I was at the top. I ran to my room and tried to close the door but nope. Looks like heaven wasn't on my side today. It's not like I'm not faced with the possibility of dying or anything like that. Nope. Not at all.

Dom slammed the door open and walked in like he owned the place. I walked backwards slightly terrified but could I show that? Psht. No. Do you not know me? I am Alexandra Marie Castro, the girl who has been-

Omph.

Shit.

"Why'd you run Princess?" He stood to his full out while I just lay there hopelessly on my bed. He just stared down at me then surprised me; he laughed. A full, heartfelt, throaty laugh. He fell beside me with tears in his eyes, I leaned up on my arms, "What are you laughing at?"

"You looked like you were about to be slaughtered." He gasped out. I've never seen him like this. But then again I did just meet him.

"Well- shut up!" He laughed harder. I lay there exasperated while he finished his laughing fit. He sits up and I follow suit, sitting crisscrossed Applesauce. Yes, I'm 17 and still call it that. Don't kill my vibe.

Dom stares at me. Like really stares. Like 'this guy is a creep' kind of stare. He then takes my face gently............and then smooshes it making fishy lips. I try to fight him off and he laughs again.

"You're too cute." I glare at him, my face still in his hands. He then leans forward with his phone and takes another picture of him smiling and kissing my cheeks. I would blush but oh wait! I can't feel my face! And he posts it! I snatched his phone and stand to see he captioned it "My Princess". I had to admit, it's a cute picture. He came up behind me and whispered "that means you're all mines now Princess-" He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to where I could feel his abs on my back "and no one else's." He bit my ear. I shivered. Shit, no Alex!

I turned and faced him with a smirk, "No no no badboy, you gotta earn that title. I am no one's" whispering the last part in his ear lowly, dragging my hands from his shoulder down to his belt. He gulped. I backed away when he tried to grab me and sashayed out the room.

"Tease!" I laughed lightly returning back to my seat on the couch where the girls and the twins were waiting. Dom followed, grumbling under his breath. Layla looked at me, "so are you guys together or no?" Showing me the Picturegram pictures we just posted. Everyone waited for the answer.

"Dominic wishes." He looked over at me.

"Princess, if I wanted you, I'd get you. With no problem." The twins let out an "oohhh." Puh-lease. Tori jumped in.

"So what's stopping you Dom?" He glared at her and she hid behind Carter a bit who helped her hide. Interesting.

"Hey Tori, remember that time when you were sle-"

"Nope! I do not! Shut up Dominic!" He grinned.

"Wait! I wanna know!" Carter, as always wants to be in the middle of everything. I guessing he's very lonely at home. "No, leave me alone Carter." He begged Tori to tell. When he saw he wasn't getting anywhere, he resulted to bribing. Tori could honestly be a lawyer one day with her skills.

Dom looked over at me once he saw everyone busy and whispered in my ear "I do plan on getting you Princess. And you will be all mine's." Possessive. Me like.
