7. Nice to Meet You

ALEXA

Monday 16th July

As Arianna had rightfully said, Isaac and Shaniah frequently meshed together.

When Nate and I emerged from our room and joined everyone else in the living room; Isaac and Shaniah were already on each other.
Her dark waves completely covered both of their faces as she was leaned into him, straddling him.
"Oi, pda!" Nate hollered, causing them to break apart.
Arianna rolled her eyes at the couple's display of affection and raised the TV volume.
Shaniah slid off Isaac's lap and cleared her throat. Isaac wiped the side of his mouth.
"Jesus, get a room." Nate hissed, plopping onto space next to Arianna.
Shaniah's eyes glazed over me before they widened,
"Holy shit did you guys spike my juice. I swear the princes-"
I let out a giggle, interrupting Shaniah's babbling.
She tossed her sheet of hair behind her neck and stood up immediately.
"I'm Alexa, nice to meet you." I said extending my hand.
Shaniah's jaw dropped slightly but she quickly recovered by flashing me a warm smile.
"Shaniah Xanders, pleased to meet you, princess." She smiled, accepting my hand.
A guy around our age walked into the room at that moment and regarded Shaniah and I's exchange with raised brows.
"This is Chase." Shaniah introduced, gesturing to the guy.
It was obvious that he had recognized who I was, as his eyes widened slightly as they made contact with mine. He quickly looked away while muttering, "Pleased to meet you, princess."

"Cat got your tongue?" Nate grumbled, possibly annoyed by Chase's cold greeting.
"It's fine." I assured him, before returning my eyes to Chase's expectant face.
"Please to meet you as well."
Shaniah touched my hand hesitantly and I smiled to assure her that it was fine." I've always thought that you and your sister have the prettiest eyes." She gushed.
Isaac chuckled, "Hey, I'm sitting right here, don't go lesbo on me now."
Shaniah and I both raised our eyebrows at Isaac in question,
"So I'm a lesbian for complimenting a fellow beautiful woman? Oh. Right, I forgot. You men have such fragile masculinity that a simple compliment to another guy, instantly causes you to say, 'No homo bro'."
"Couldn't have said it better myself." I agreed, slinging an arm around Shaniah's shoulders.

"You kind of dug yourself into your own hole bro." Nate laughed.

Isaac scoffed and grasped Shaniah's arm, pulling her back into his lap.
He kissed her passionately and then playfully glared at me, "Mine." He growled, wrapping his arms around her.

"You guys are on a different level of affectionate tonight." Arianna grumbled, she rose from her seat and shuffled down the hallway, towards her room. Cindy was no-where to be seen, so I assumed she was in her room.

I took Arianna's spot and sat next to Nate. Up close I could see that his bruise was turning a nasty shade of purple.
"Stop looking at it." He groaned, shifting so that it was out of view.

Chase cleared his throat and Shaniah and Isaac jumped apart, I hadn't even realized when they had continued to make out.

"You guys chased your little sister into her room and your reaction is to continue anyway?"
Isaac grinned at Chase who had asked the question and smirked.

"What can I say? I can't resist." He stroked Shaniah's tan face and smiled at her.

"Well resist for the sake of the rest of us or find a room." Nate snapped, glaring at his brother.

"Jeez, okay okay."

Shaniah slipped off his lap and sat cross-legged on the floor, in front him.
"Let's play a game!" she exclaimed, grinning excitedly.

Chase rose his bushy eyebrows at her, "What kind of game?"

Her eyes lit up and she shifted so that she can glance upwards at Isaac.
"Babe, do you guys have an alcohol?"
