In Love With Them Both.

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Adrian's POV

The whole ride to Elle's friend's house was silent. After Paul's admission no one spoke another word and Paul had a hurt look on his face. I knew he only wanted the best for me and to him that meant me having the both of them.

It just hurt to think that my sister may have been on her own this whole time rethinking the separation and at any moment she could just announce that she wanted Alex back and that would be it. I couldn't see my sister get hurt no matter how much I liked him.

"Ok. We're here."

At those words I swear my heart stopped. I couldn't do it. How was I supposed to face my sister knowing that her boyfriend was in a relationship with me? Okay well I guess he wasn't her boyfriend anymore but I'm pretty sure there are rules about things like this!

I must have been stalling because when I looked up everyone else was already out of the car staring back in at me. Paul walked over to my side of the car and pulled the door open. Reaching his hand out to help me out I ignored it and climbed out the car on my own.

Slowly his arm lowered down to his side as I walked past him and towards the house. Raising my hand I held it for a second before knocking on the door in front of me. I waited for a bit listening for the sound of someone opening the door.

"Just a minute!"

Someone called out from the inside of the house. By that time Alex and Paul were now standing on either side of me. Sounds of the door being unlocked followed by it being swung open stunned me a bit. On the other side was a gorgeous man about six-foot three with blonde hair that almost reached his shoulders and covered his eyes. Every so often he'd flip it out of his face.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah..." I began but I was still a bit taken back by the man and I guess Alex realized that because he stepped in for me.

"We're here to see Elle."

The man's eyes widened and a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand towards us and without hesitation I grab it and he pulls me into him. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I tried to escape but he wrapped his arms around me tightly almost squeezing the life out of me.

"Can't....breathe..."

"Oh sorry." He let me go into the house.

Dropping to the floor I held myself up with one hand as I grabbed my chest with the other. That man is strong!

"I should have known that you were her brother. She talks about you and Paul all the time."

He turned back to the two men at the door and leaving me on the floor began talking to them.

"Which one of you is Paul?"

"That would be me." He reached out and shook Paul's outstretched hand before turning to Alex. His cheerful demeanor dropped a little as he took in the relaxed man standing in front of him with a blank expression on his face.

"Which means you must be Alex."

"Yeah, that's me." I could tell that the mysterious man was trying to figure out Alex all in one glance but Alex wasn't making it easy at all.

"Well I’ve heard a lot about you too..." he said with a small smile on his face trying his best to be polite to Alex.

"That's great. Where's Elle?"

To be honest I was quite shocked at him. I didn't expect him to be that rude to the man. Alex pushed past the man and came to stand on the other side of me. Paul was staring at him as much as I was but when he finally looked back at us he looked surprised to find us staring at him wide eyed.
