Her words came out in an alluring whisper. It was mystifying and sounded so beautiful. My hand reaches out as Crystal's hand withdraws to her hip. She stepped back with sheer fear written on her complex that has gone ghostly white.
I've never seen Crystal express fear. Crystal bolted off as I heard these high-heel boots walk-in closer from behind my back. I partly turned to see Rose stride up with a slight grin on her lip. The trench coat she wore flew up from behind her legs as she walked powerfully. I looked forward again and saw Crystal up ahead disappearing between the crowds.
"The guys are ready to head back if you're done shopping," Rose's cool soothing voice entered my ears.
And I then realized that she was talking to me. Her voice pulled me away from being in a zoned-out state, and I realized I had drifted. She gave me a gentle smile.
"Please don't tell Kai I spoke to her," I implored. "He told me I'll have consequences if I ever did."
Rose smiled, touching my arm, "I saw nothing, now let's head back."
I was baffled by her sweetness. And I could only hope I can trust she won't say anything. My mind still felt like I was zoned out as we got back to the limousine.
Just before getting in Rose looked up to have found Kai watching them with this dead stare from on top of the mall's rooftop. She knew by the look on his face that he already knew what had happened. However, she noticed he was pleased with her for doing her job. Before her very sight, Kai disappeared from her eyes.
"Let's get going," Rose tapped the roof and then got in, shutting the door.
I watched as she poured her juice into her glass and began stirring it with her hand again. Even though Rome drove the speed limit we were back at the mansion in no time it seemed.
"Go grab a swimming suit Victoria. Everyone's at the pool." Mia said after Ace opened the door for us.
"Isn't it too cold to swim?" I was puzzled.
"The outside pool is heated but everyone is using the inside pool," Rose told me as we went inside from the Butler holding the door open for us.
"Ok, I wasn't aware of that," I said.
Ace and Rome veered off in a different direction as Mia said. "Let's head up and get our swimsuits."

After we got our bikinis, we entered the loud indoor pool. The whole space was large and was decorated like it was an outside island pool. Inside the pool has rocks with a waterfall and a couple of kid's slides blended into it. There were real plants, planted inside some of the rocks that were actually pots. The whole left area was surrounded by glass, viewing a lovely outside patio garden with a door to reach it. A huge sunroof stretched across the ceiling.
Then of course outside of the pool were lounge chairs and even a cookout area and some bars. Even above us was a balcony that had a curved staircase, leading up to it.
Crazy to think but if some daredevil wanted to jump off the balcony that person would land directly into the deep end of the pool. Although I wouldn't recommend doing it but I could see Rome jumping off the indoor balcony.
Overall, the whole area was made very richly. The whole area was filled with people enjoying themselves.
I thought but then my eyes found Kai in his black long swimming trunks, on this lounge chair talking with some guys and ladies. His body was beautifully carved and so angelic. Without flexing I could see the muscles in his bicep and triceps were dense and perfect. His abs were professionally chiseled into an eight-pack. Then his pecs were mounted beautifully shaped that weren't too big like those bodybuilders that overkill it. Kai's body tone and muscles were shaped to pristine perfection. Oh, gosh! He was such a beautiful man! I think I'm dribbling, I thought, wiping my mouth in case I was.
As we strive on over, I got baffled to see sitting next to him was this pretty red-head wearing a bikini. She had the perfect body and perfect boobs! It was so unfair since I don't have big boobs and my body's slender and skinny but it lacks tone is what I felt. I practically held my breath as we walked up to them. I tried not to show any signs of being uncomfortable.
"Well, I guess you've kept yourself busy!" Oh gosh, me and my big mouth blurted out way too loud to draw attention my way with Kai's friends. That included Rome, Ivan and Ace were here too.
Kai grinned widely as the red-head was blushing. She couldn't stop her chuckle from hearing me.
"It's nice to finally meet you there cousin," the red-head stood up holding out a hand. "My name is Ava by the way I'm Kai's cousin, his mother is my aunt."
Oh, wow! I really overran my mouth this time. "I'm sorry I-l..." I was baffled about what to say since I should've recognized that red hair. Come to think of it, she looked a lot like Mrs. Collin.
"It's ok," Ava made this easier on me. "Kai is quite the ladies' man along with the fact he's a pain in the butt!"
Kai stood up from his seat as everyone laughed. "Nice to see you both are going to get along."
Kai walked away leaving as his buddies followed leaving us ladies. Most of us still couldn't stop laughing. Ava and I took a seat together on Kai's lounge chair. While we ladies talked and I got acquainted with Ava who seemed sad. Then I found out why when she was informing Rose and Mia that she was betrothed to marry a man named John Hart. I discovered she wasn't given a choice but to marry him. The rich class are certainly forceful about their marriages.
"I understand how you feel Ava," I give her true sympathy.
"It's ok, Victoria. John will make a fine husband for me like how my cousin Kai will be a fine husband for you. It's our place to marry them." Ava said with a soft voice.
But I didn't agree with her speech. "It shouldn't be this way."
I stood up, unable to bear it. Unlike me, Ava was showing her strength. I wasn't strong about the idea of marrying Kai. I was about to head off leaving till I saw Kai talking with Samantha across the pool. Oh... the nerve of me! I couldn't stop myself from rushing over. Just as she placed her hands on his shoulders, to rub his back!
"You want me to never speak with Orlando but you're going to let other women hang on you!" I retorted, folding my arms yet Kai seemed to enjoy my annoyed posture.
"That is because he's nothing but a cheater sweetheart!" Samantha mocked, grinning to my face. "Behind your back, he'll be in my bed too!"
I couldn't believe this!
