KING & QUEEN

Chapter 23

Adonis

James already warned me that Marco was making his way over here so his arrival wasn't a surprise, but it didn't decrease how annoyed I was about it.

This was supposed to be just Vixen and I and I finally thought that I could get some alone time with her but now I have to fight with my own brother over her.

We were currently in Vixen's room watching a comedy movie and she didn't even pay attention to either Marco and I because she was so entranced by the movie.

It was obvious that she didn't get much free time because she acts like this is the first time she's watched a movie in years.

Meanwhile, Marco and I barely looked at the movie and were more fixated on the way her eye closes when she's laughing and all of her features.

It was so refreshing to watch her all loosened up and not be so calm and collected all the time. It did bother me though that she was sitting closer to Marco because when she was too busy laughing, Marco would scoot closer to her.

In the middle of our second movie, I noticed her eyes drooping a little and because Marco was right next to her she started to slowly lean on his shoulder more and more.

I wanted nothing more than to rip them apart but I didn't want to wake Vixen up from what looks like a much-needed nap.

Marco, on the other hand, was having the best time ever with his arm wrapped around her nice and snug. He grabbed the remote off of her hands gently and turned off the t.v.

"You might wanna leave," Marco whispered to me and I didn't miss the hint of mockery in his voice as if he thinks he's won.

Even though I didn't want to leave I knew that if I did I would just end up fighting Marco again, so I hesitantly got up and went to my own room.

I know that Marco basically thinks that he's won and that I have no chance anymore but I got something that he doesn't and that's James. I have a feeling that James is rooting for me more than he is Marco and I bet he'll help me win his sister over.

Which is weird considering I beat him up. It's just the way he looks at me is kinda weird but I don't really think much of it.

I decided to give him a call to get more insight on his sister.

"I'm assuming Marco has made it to the cruise?" Was the first thing he said as he picked up the phone.

"Yes and he's already gaining on me, he has your sister all cuddled up beside him, so I need something to one-up him."

"Oh my god really, they're all cuddled up? Do you mind taking a picture for me." He almost squealed into my ear.

I huffed annoyed, it looks like I was wrong about thinking he was rooting for me.

"Oh sorry how insensitive of me asking for pictures."

"You think," I grunt, annoyed.

"Well if you really wanna win her over it's not gonna be easy. It's a slow process and I mean a very slow process to get her to even open up to you. So you really need to do something about it because it looks like Marco already has a head start."
