A Greek God's Treasure

Chapter 4

I smoothly sipped the coffee Hennessy made me in her parents kitchen. I sighed and relished in the warm scent of relaxation. I always love the first cup of coffee of the day it was just that charge and drive for me. 

My peace was short lived as Mr. Tall, Tan and Handsome made his way in the kitchen shirtless. I choked on the coffee in my mouth. His neatly sculptured abs were dipping wet and painfully visible. I tried diverting my eyes from his muscularity but met his emerald green eyes. "Like what you see?" he wiggled his brows at me

"Seen better," I smirked and turned my head up. I haven't but, he doesn't have to know that. He leaned a bit closer and whispered "Sure you have," and winked at me. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Hennessy walked in as if on cue and smiled "Go get a shirt you warthog,"

Well that goes my morning, I thought as I walked over to the bungalow which have I mentioned is named Liquor Core.  I smiled. I pushed the door and walked to the guest bedroom. I rolled my eyes when I was Mr. Figuero in my bed staring at me. "Get dressed and meet me down stairs in 10 minutes" He order and walked out of the room looking down on his phone. Yeah like sure I am.

I groaned and threw on a skater skirt and a simple white tank top with matching flip flops. I walked down stairs ready to head out to grandpa's, I had better things to do than be bossed around by Douche Bag 101. I walked pass him and made my way to the door.

"Where are you going?" Alec said suddenly standing behind me. I panicked a bit at the close proximity. I shifted and was now facing him "I'm going to grandpa's for some essentials"

"Nope, you're going out with me," he replied annoyances written all over his handsome face. 

"Um........ No am not, see ya" I turned to go about my business and the thick and unbelievably sexy bastard threw me over his shoulder. I smashed my fist against his back in protest. The struggles of a woman, I thought and sighed. I hear a chuckle and felt a small vibration throughout his lean body structure.

He threw me down on a car seat, grinning at me. "Cheer up, Treasure" He said looking at me. I gave him a death stare and fixed my position in the car. 

I decided to go with the silent treatment throughout the whole ride. The scenery was beautiful, spring was in play and did wonders to the lavender plants. The drive was tense but I tried my best to ignore him and this dreadful atmosphere. I shifted my gaze to look at the fine but slightly annoying specimen in the driver's seat.

"Would you stop eye-raping me?" He said without taking his eyes off the road.

"Like you have anything I would rape," I said, a bit guilty of the charges. "I have had enough off those looks to know when someone's eye-raping," He said with a little sass, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

" Sure thing Sherlock," I rolled my eyes. 

"It is true,you know. Okay did you meet the Ms. Taylor, the secretary?" He asked. I nodded my head " The barbie doll?". He smiled," she gives me those look everyday since I started to work at the main branch,"

"She would bring me coffee for Coco's Sips and then wear an extremely tight skirt to show off," I laughed, talk about desperate. "And you have to go through that everyday?" 

"Yup, It's part of the job of being the Most Committed Bachelor," 

"Hey you craving some ice cream?" Alec asked. "Yeah I guess I could use some sugar in my life," I replied. We had stop by Grandpa's place and grab some of my stuffs, he also told me he was going to Hawaii to spend the week with grandma there. So I was abundant in the old man's mansion if I was to stay there alone.

Shortly we pulled up in an ice cream parlor, Alec made the orders. He handed me a Strawberry ice cream with sprinkles on the top, my favorite. I raised a brow at him wondering he knew which flavor to get.

"So tell me about your job, Treasure" He asked in attempt to make small talks. "My name's Remedy, you know?" I replied. "I know, Treasure" Alec said making emphasize on the Treasure. I guess he'll tire himself out. 

I sighed.

"I'm a hunter, a treasure hunter. I find thing with value and the company pays me millions,"

"So do you like your job?"

"Yeah I do, it provides me with an escape from reality and I get to be anyone I want for the whole mission. It wasn't my first choice in a career, I wanted to be a psychotherapist."

"Okay am listening Mrs. Mental" He leans forward on the edge of his chair. "Ever since I was little I always loved - let's say thought the rest of the world can't handle. I wanted to know why thy thought this way and what made it so?"

He looked at my brown eyes as if searching. "I know I probably song crazy and weird,"

"No, don't ever say that about yourself. You'll never sound crazy to me ever Treasure" He said with a bit of concerned across his face. I looked at him and my gaze went down to his lips, his edible lips. We were both leaning in to each other, his mesmerizing cherry lips were simply calling out to me.

Then I stopped, I couldn't do this," We should head home it's getting late." I spoke breaking the trance.

He was Hennessy's brother for cry out loud this can't happen. EVER.
