Chapter 5: Settling in for the Summer

"Good evening, Rozy." He said his voice low.

"Hello Roger." I said getting out of the car as his hand was on the door. The trunk suddenly popped as Issac must have hit his key lock button.

"How was your trip?" He asked. He had blond hair, blue eyes, stood about the same as Issac and was two years older than him. I just smiled hiding my irritation with Issac.

"It was fine."

"Did you get your strawberry ice cream?" He asked as I closed the car door. I nodded as he didn't move away but kept his eyes on me.

"I did. I love soft serve ice cream and adding the flavor is awesome." He chuckled.

"Your grandfather is waiting for you." His voice dropped even huskier as he looked down at me. I smiled going to the back of the car. "I can get these." He spoke.

"I just want my laptop." I opened the trunk, looked over the contents as he stood right next to me. I leaned in and pulled out my purple bag with my laptop things in it. "See nothing to it." I said as he just smiled, stepping a step closer.

"I've missed your cute smile." He said which made me blush. He chuckled, running the back of his pointer finger along my cheek. "And your quick blushing." I was about to say something when Issac came around to the car.

"Rozy, come on!" He yelled. Roger dropped his hand looking over at Issac as the two seemed to look at each other.

"Sorry Issac. I just wanted my laptop." I swung it to my shoulder. "Later Roger. Don't sprain yourself."

"I won't." He said as I walked around the car and up the steps. Issac was next to me as he looked back at the car, then at me.

"You should stay away from him." He said low as we walked towards the den.

"What? Why?" I asked as we reached the closed door.

"Because he's a womanizer." I laughed.

"He's no better than you are then." I said as he looked down at me. "Besides, he taught me how to play chess, spades, Euchre and all kinds of games during the summer. He's harmless. He's two years older than you which makes him ten years older than me." I placed my hand on the doorknob and before I could turn it, his hand was over mine. I looked up at him. His other hand was on the wall next to the door as he was leaning forward, looking down at me.

"I mean it, Rozalina. This summer you need to stay away from him."

"Don't think just because you are here means you can tell me what I can or cannot do." I exclaimed low. He was about to say something else when I turned the handle with his hand on top of mine and opened the door making him unbalanced. I fixed my glasses and walked in.

"There's my girl!" My grandfather exclaimed. I ran over to him, swung my arms around his neck as he laughed hugging me tightly. Issac came in, his hands in his pockets as his eyes were looking down at the red carpet. I kissed grandfather on the cheek before he sat me down. I moved aside as Issac just shook his hand. "And Of course, my grandson."

"It's a pleasure to be here, sir." He said looking straight at his grandfather.

"It's late. We can catch up tomorrow, hm." He spoke.

"If that is what you wish." Issac said, turning he left the room.

"Go on up to bed." Grandfather said. "Roger should have your things almost there soon." I nodded, hugged him again and went up to my room. I left the door open as I hadn't seen Issac anywhere. I placed my laptop on the bed, plugged it in behind the bed and opened it. I put my password in as it automatically recognized the internet. I checked my mail and of course Roy emailed me about going to the movies with him. I had told him, like always, that I wasn't in town and wouldn't be back until fall. I heard my suitcases being set down and turned my head. I was lying on my stomach, my feet up in the air, my glasses had fallen down my nose as I looked over them at the green eyes. I turned back to my laptop, pushing my glasses up my nose.

"Thank you." I said low, moving my mouse to close my Gmail. I heard the slight sound of a door being closed as I paused my finger motions, then the lock. My once swaying in the air legs stopped yet again, I calculated the noises, now accompanied by footsteps getting closer. I closed my laptop, rolled to my side, as at the same time Issac placed his hand on the bed next to me. I watched his other hand hit the bed as I sat up to try to scoot to the end of the bed, but he had grabbed my ankle. I gasped, turned facing him as I moved back my back against the wall, my legs straight out as he had climbed on the single bed, Straddled my legs. I placed my hands on his chest as he got closer to me. The green eyes are dark and unreadable. He sat back bringing his hands up to grip mine, pinning them on the wall next to my head as his fingers entwined with mine as I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. "I-Issac..."

"Stop being so damn s*xy." He said in that husky voice. My eyes shot open as his face got closer to mine. I tried moving from him but couldn't. He must have felt my resistance because he held my hands higher above my head still against the wall. "I want to be the first man to taste your innocent lips against my own."

"M-My first kiss... will be with the man I love."

"Such a romantic thought." He said still only centimeters away from my own face. His lips hovered in front of mine as his green eyes scanned my face lazily. "You say this, but you shut yourself inside. According to you, you don't need it to live so why not let me share your first experience with you." I growled slightly as he dropped my right hand, as I kept it against the wall. His hand gently caressed my hot pink cheek as his fingers cupped my ear. "If that is what you want, then I have no other choice then the make you fall in love with me by the end of the summer."

"It's not happening!" I said as my voice had matched his own husky drawl. He only grinned as if he had already won. "Besides, we... we are supposed to be siblings."

"Only by marriage." His breathing changed as it was labored and warm against my own face. I could smell the strawberry ice cream that he had earlier. "We are not blood related."

"And I'm a gold digger." He laughed then as he pulled away, letting me go and standing from the bed. I dropped my hands, folding them in front of me watching him.

"Next time I get that look, I won't be accountable for my actions."

"UT..hrm...." I made an irritating noise as he smiled. "I didn't do it on purpose!"

"Regardless, watch your glasses." With that he turned, went to the door, opened it and left it behind him. I stayed plastered to the wall, setting my hands next to me on the bed as I looked up at the ceiling, banging my head on the wall. This was not going to be a fun summer.
