CARTER POV

I was bored. Why are sundays boring? 

I watched as Ben walked towards the door in gym clothes. 

''Can I join you?'' He turned towards me wide eyed and made sure I was talking to him. I rolled my eyes at him. How much of a drama queen can he be?

He's your brother.  I shut my annoying inner voice.

''You sure? Because you thing working out in a park is waste of time, distracts you, ....'' He repeated my words I spoke earlier.

''Shut up if you want your pretty face with you.'' He looked at me in horror.

''PRETTY?!! What the hell, dude?''

I always thought park was always distracting. Hot girls undressing every guy with their eyes. And the men looking around with their perverted eyes.  I mean, there was always too much of sexual tension in the air.  My eyes raked around ....... until it reached, the girl who I was dying to see, the only girl who made me feel this way. She stood there, leaning on the wall.

 She stood there, leaning on the wall

She was smokin hot. Her outfit attracted everyone's eyes. I couldnt take my eyes off her. Ben coughed, trying to gain my attention and walked towards her with me trailing behind. She jumped on him as soon as she saw him. I guess she was back to normal. Ben chuckled.

''Hey Ben. Hello Carter. Fancy seeing you here.'' She smiled. I groaned inwardly. Why does she have to f***ing smile?

Ben beat me to a reply,'' I was pretty shaken up when he wanted to join.''

She smirked,'' I knew he was a couch potato. Only suitable to annoy others.''

''You're calling me fat?'' I raised my eyebrows.

Rolling her eyes, she said,'' Uff. He finally got that in his brain.'' Ben laughed at her.

'' Ben laughed at her

We started jogging. '' So, what did I miss while I was gone?'' 

I shrugged,'' Nothing much. Same office work. Ari almost killed me, i guess you already know Bryan punched, Casey was such a cry baby, Mom tried to chase me around the house.''

She frowned and muttered something to herself about missing everything. She was really something else, I never thought anyone could be.  Bryan rubbed his hands together childishly, ''Who wants a skateboard race?''

(Next day)

CAYDEN POV

I stood in the middle of the room, under the spot light, my hands numb from all the punching. I panicked as I heard shuffling and a slight creak as someone opened the door. It was dark, and without slightest hesitation and a single thought, I threw the pocket knife it the direction. I heard a piercing scream of a woman. What the hell?

I blinked as the lights were switched on. I was shocked to see Ariana as white as a ghost, Bryan and Ben on the kneeling on the floor and Carter just stood with pure horror on his face. The knife I threw was sticking out from the wall beside them.  I would have laughed at their expressions if I were not so afraid. It reminded me of the past.

''Why on the f***ing Earth are you playing with knives?'' Ariana yelled.

I took a deep breath and forced a smile, ''Don't enter like that again, idiots.''

''Never in my life. Who the hell were you trying to kill??'' Bryan asked, still on the floor.

''Our plan totally backfired. She scared the shit out of me.'' Ben muttered.

''Why are you all here? Don't you have your own place to stay?'' I demanded playfully.

Carter walked over and sat on one of the broken punching bags.  ''Nice gym you have here. By the way, you should learn to lock your doors.''

''Yeah. And Mom's inviting you to the dinner tomorrow.'' Ariana added. 

I grinned, ''Okay!'' 

Ben raised his hand,'' I have a question. Why do you have such a big gym?''

I shrugged,'' I like it.'' 

Carter's turn,'' I have a question too. Why did you quit your job?'' Oh my god. This man's always interfering.

''I told you, the reason is silly.'' I said with a straight face.

Ariana and Bryan gave me puppy face while Ben whined. I rolled my eyes as I thought. No harm telling them, right?

''I had this 34 year old boss and I was just 22. He was such an irritating dog. He tried to touch me at every chance he got.''

''So you resigned?'' Ben asked and I gave him a funny look.

''I was pissed at a point and he dislocated his shoulder.''

''He dislocated his own shoulder?'' This time, Bryan.

I nodded,'' I told him not to move. But he did.'' I laughed recalling the incident. ''And..  He screamed like a woman in labour.'' The rest of them laughed along with me. 

'' This is why Casey's soo excited to meet you.'' Bryan rolled his eyes.
