Untrue stories and lies

As they stepped inside the spa, Jackson's eyes wondered about, taking in the sight of the luxurious and relaxing decor , he walked over to a service cart that had a bottle of champagne in a silver chiller , pouring himself a glass asking Alex " would you like some too.?"

Alex shrugged his shoulders ,unethically replied "sure, it might be a few minutes before the girls get dressed." Alex stepped forward, taking the glass from his hand, they both leisurely set down in two comfortable arm chairs ,with a small table between them. Shelly came forward greeting them "Your Majesty, your Royal highness Jackson , are you waiting for the ladies or would you like a massage today?" Alex spoke up " we're just waiting on our girls."

With a bright smile on her face, she turned towards Jackson saying "congratulations on your engagement prince Jackson, Miss Boyett is a beautiful young lady."

He just nodded, not really knowing what to say he mumbled " thank You."

After Shelly left , Alex chuckled, twirling his glass in his hand he coolly states " you might as well go pick out a ring."

"I would Alex but I don't want to scare her away."

Suddenly a large peal of laughter was heard from the dressing room. Shortly after ,Alex got a ping on his phone .As he looked at the message, laughter filled the room. Jackson gave him a questionable look asking him "what's so funny?"

He slides his phone over, so he can take a look. Saying " I believe that's your girlfriend's ass."

There it was right on the screen her curvy little bottom on full display for his brother to see . With a pair of red lips tattooed right on her with the words osculum hoc (Latin for kiss this) written underneath them in beautiful script. With a message that said ,Look what Karmen did when she got drunk on spring break.

He grabbed the phone deleting the picture grumbling " who the fuck sends a picture of another woman's ass to their husband?"

Alex chuckled at this little show of possessiveness coming from his brother, which is just common behavior for vampires towards their mate. But he is sure these emotions are reeking havoc on his brothers mind,because he has never experienced them before . He calmly explained

"You have got to remember Lexi's a nudist she doesn't see anything wrong with it."

As Jackson was stewing over someone else seeing his girlfriend's ass . The three women approached them, looking fresh and beautiful, making him forget all about Alex seeing her ass. He takes her hand and with out a word spoken leads her to the west wing garden, pulling out his phone in a low tone saying " Babe , you look beautiful, what do want for lunch."

He had reacted so rapidly , her mind didn't have time to focus on what he just said, immediately she caught back up with him, and mumbled " a grilled chicken salad and lemon water."

He hastily ,placed his hand on her lower back guiding her to the table , typing her lunch order to the kitchen staff .His movements were fast, fluent and flawless, he snapped his head up calmly asking her

" would you like some wine or a tequila sunrise."

She stammered " I would like you to slow down ,your making my head spin, and yes some wine would be nice."

He took her hand in his apologizing

" Babe , I'm sorry, I didn't even realize I was using a little vampire speed. But I really need to talk to you."

"It's ok but just calm down. what do you want to talk about?"

"I found out what the tabloids said about us. Some of it wasn't bad, as a matter of fact I liked what they said. But Babe their was another one that I need to explain to you."

Scrolling through his phone he found the first article, sliding his phone over for her to read. She read the article unbothered by what it said.

" Babe, that's the one, I liked I'm glad people think we're engaged. Does it bother you?"

"No, not really I will just need to call my parents and explain to them we were just on our first date."

He scrolled down to the next one, sliding his phone over so she could look at it.

She read the article and shrugged her shoulders, saying "so , you didn't expect, them to not mention your past did you?"

He slipped his phone in his pocket as he warily ask her "Babe, your not mad , hurt or upset?"

She looked at him earnestly, speaking in a calm composed manner "Why should I be, Jackson, you told me Saturday before I ever agreed to go out with you .That you was a partying whore hound ."

He was amused and a little taken aback by her descriptive words , but he couldn't deny anything she just said. He pulled her close kissing her cheek. Agreeing "That's right babe, I was but not anymore, I don't ever want to do anything like that again. All I want and all I need is you.

In the dining room Alex, Lexi and his mother set around the table chatting about Lexi's appointment today with the dress designer

Mother Sophia ask "where did Jackson and Karmen go "

Alex didn't see any reason to hide anything from her the article was on the internet her friends will be asking questions, he nonchalantly answered with out giving it a second thought. "Mother, Jackson was looking at his phone today and ran across the picture of him and Karmen at Gabby's it wasn't that bad all it said was Jackson and Karmen are engaged."

She puts her hand on her heart, breathing in deeply saying"oh , what a relief. I was afraid it was going to be something just as horrible as they said about you."

"Mother there was a another article also, and it wasn't as nice, as we all know Jackson has always lived life freely. He took Karmen to the garden to talk with her in private."

She tapped her nails on the table, waiting to hear more, finally she couldn't take it anymore and demanded answers.

"Ok , Alexander what exactly did the other article say?"

"Mother, it was really nothing, considering Jackson's reputation."

pausing a few seconds .And taking a few minutes to explain, "ok mother the first article said they are engaged, the second article said Jackson cheated on karmen on Friday afternoon."

With a cautious voice she ask" did he Alexander?" She closed her eyes dreading to hear the answer.

"No Mother, Jackson had never met Karmen until Friday night."

Placing her hand on her chest she let out a heavy sigh , spouting. " just more untrue stories and lies ",
