Grey sat on a couch, his eyes fixed on the open window in his room as his veins were visible on his forehead. He held a paper in his hand and squeezed it so tight, an angry look on his face as the whole scenario that transpired between him and Prisca played continuously in his head.
He couldn't believe that she would do something so shocking, he could still feel his cheek hurt by the hard slap and it angered him so deeply, that his eyes did not leave the window.
"I must do something to get back to her, I won't allow her to spit in my face and go scot-free, never!" He swore under his breath, his look sharp enough to cut through a person's soul.
"What do you think we should do?" Prisca asked as she sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the big TV set in front of them.
Rex sat next to her, they both had a bottle of soda in their hands.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" Rex asked, his eyes not leaving her.
Prisca didn't say a word at first, she sat still wondering what they were going to do together as the thought of watching a movie didn't hold up the excitement inside of her.
"I don't feel like watching a movie" she muttered and glared at him.
"What do you feel like doing?" She asked him, her eyes not letting go of him.
"Well…" he said, "Let's play a video game".
Prisca laughed and shook her head, "No way Rex, I don't know how to play one" she replied.
Rex smiled, "It's not bad, not everyone can be a gamer but I promise you that it will be fun, trust me". He assured her, gave her one of the joysticks and they both began to play, their laughter filled the large living room.
"This isn't bad, I have always wanted to play a video game but I have no one to teach me" she paused and glanced at Rex with a smile, "I guess it's not bad having a stepbrother".
Pleased by her words, a warm feeling filled Rex's heart. He is getting used to her daily and just the thought of her alone kept him from sleeping at night.
"It's nice having a step-sister too" he muttered with a nod and they both continued their chatter.
Grey stood at the stair rail watching them, he didn't say a word because he didn't want his presence to be revealed but he couldn't get his eyes off Prisca. He couldn't stop himself from being so mad at her for insulting him in such a way but still, he finds himself staring at her and his brother as he notices how close the two are becoming.
Irritated by it, he walked away and entered his room, locking the door after him.
Prisca Glanced at Rex as they sat together on the couch.
"What about your friends, Rex? I haven't seen you bring anyone home" she asked.
"I hardly keep close friends" he responded calmly with his eyes fixed on the TV set.
"But why?"
Rex smiled, "Most friends don't know the true meaning of friendship and since I haven't found any yet, it's best I stay on the low".
Prisca nodded, "I understand perfectly but I am sure that anyone who will have you as a friend will be so lucky".
Rex smiled, "What about you Prisca? Do you have any friends here in California, or are your friends only in London?".
Prisca chuckled, "I just have high school friends here, although I have lost contact with most of them during these last years I have a close friend back in London, her name is Sandra and we are also roommates, apart from her, I don't have any close friends".
"Oh, I see" Rex paused, "What about a boyfriend?" He implored.
Surprised at his question, Prisca smiled, "I am single" she replied to Rex's surprise.
"Are you serious?" He raised an eyebrow, "Remember, I am your brother so you can open up to me".
Prisca laughed, "I am serious, I am single. It's hard to get a guy who loves you for who you are. These days, the streets are filled with no one but bad boys who just want to get laid with you and nothing else".
"I see your point, not bad" Rex responded.
"What about you? Are you single?" She asked him.
"Yes, I am, I don't have a reason why but I just want to be single for now" he replied calmly and Prisca nodded.
"I can relate to that," she said.
"So, what are you studying in college? I and Grey graduated from college two years ago". Rex turned to her, focusing his attention on her.
"That's nice. I am studying theater art".
"You want to be an actress?"
Prisca Laughed, "If I have the opportunity, yes but my field is modeling, I am a model".
Rex stared at her in surprise, "I had that feeling deep inside of me due to the way you walk and I know that my instincts are never wrong"
They both chuckled.
"That's very nice Prisca, can I see some of your pictures?" He inquired.
"Sure, you can" she brought out her phone from her pocket and began to show him some of her pictures.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Rex and Prisca stared at themselves as they wondered who that might be.
"Are you expecting someone?" She asked him.
"No, I am not".
They both watched a maid walk towards the door, opened it and a tall blonde walked into the house.
Prisca stared at her looking amazed, she was dressed in a flashy pink dress with a pink handbag. She had a pair of sunglasses on and her red lipstick shone brightly from where Prisca sat.
"Oh, she is here again" Rex let out with a frustrated sigh.
"Who is she?" Prisca asked curiously, her eyes unable to leave the lady who smelled like wealth herself.
"One of Grey's girlfriends but I will say she is his ex".
Prisca was surprised that Grey has such a girlfriend and the word girlfriends which came out of Rex's mouth made her know that Grey is really the lady's guy. Well, Prisca Isn't surprised, Grey is a bad boy and most girls love bad boys.
"I am here to see my boyfriend" the lady's tiny voice rang through the room as she had her eyes fixed on the maid.
"He should be in his room" the maid replied huskily and there was a look of fear in the maid's eyes.
Prisca watched closely, not saying a word as she wondered why the maid looked so terrified of this lady who smelled of nothing but trouble.
