Mia's POV
"Don't yell at me, you bastard! You don't get to tell me what to do!"
He scoffed. "I'm doing this for your own good, and you think this is about me trying to control you?"
Why is he being so defensive and sensitive? I'm just here looking at the stores, and I've been doing this since I got here. Nothing has happened to me. I keep telling them that I can protect myself, but they don't believe me. It seems like their so-called protection has gotten worse these days.
"Excuse me, Rolex, I don't need you breaking down for me or anything. Stop yelling at me. I'll be fine."
"Well, you are not here alone, and our job is to protect you. Stop making it difficult for us. You are always acting like this. Don't you get tired?"
That sounded like an insult to me. I saw him walk away, and I couldn't say anything at all. Is he finally getting tired of me? Will he show his true colors? Maybe if I keep acting like this, they will finally tell me what they want and stop following me around like puppies.
The next day was pretty much the same. As I sat down to look at the stars again, one of them came to sit beside me. I didn't even bother to check who it was because I could now tell them apart from their scent. It was Nathan, who was probably on duty tonight.
"I already told you and your brothers to stop wasting your time trying to protect me. I can do this myself, but you won't listen-just acting self-righteous all the time," I insulted him.
I expected him to talk back at me like Rolex yesterday, but he wasn't saying anything. He used to be the one who talked back the most in the past and the one who hated me the most. Now, he's the one who is always silent and calm. Could it be that he has been affected by a life-or-death situation, which is why he suddenly changed his behavior?
"Are you not going to say anything, or are you going to ignore me like I don't exist?" I questioned him.
He shook his head. "I already know you like it being silent, and I didn't want to say anything to upset you. I just came here to look at the stars with you."
He sounded reasonable, so I didn't bother to argue with him at all. We continued looking at the stars. I would occasionally steal glances at him to look at his handsome face. Even if he's handsome, I'm not going to let myself fall for his charms.
"It seems like you want to ask me something with the way you keep staring at me," he caught me.
But I turned the question around on him. "You, on the other hand, also seem like you want to ask me something. What do you want?"
"Tell me, how have you been surviving the past three years that you were away from us?"
Is it obvious that he's trying to be stupid or something? He already knows how I managed to survive the past three years by living in my uncle's place. Why is he asking me this now? Does he want to repeat it? Or is he not satisfied enough that I'm already letting him hang around me?
"I don't know what kind of question you're asking me, but you already know the answer. Why are you so invested in my survival?" I demanded to know.
He moved closer to me. "Because I care about you, and I want to know how you've been doing these past few years."
"When did you start to care about me? If I remember correctly, you hated me the most. So when?"
He suddenly grabbed my face and stopped me from continuing my statement. Our eyes locked, and our faces were inches apart. I couldn't tell what he was thinking at this moment. What does he want to do?
"What are you doing? Let me go," I said in a lower voice that anyone could hardly hear.
I was excited to know what he wanted to do, but at the same time, I was angry that I'm not getting any respect.
"You don't seem to want me to let go. Besides, it's not our first time, is it?"
He rubbed his thumb over my lips, probably trying to drive me crazy with his touch. I know how his brother tried to seduce me the last time, and I should be on my guard.
But I ended up losing it anyway. He kissed me all of a sudden-so rough and hard-and I quickly responded to it. I didn't think of anything else. I just wanted to do it. It felt like I wasn't in control of my brain anymore, and I was doing what my body wanted.
He's such a good kisser, and it took me a moment to realize that I was doing it with him again. I quickly pushed him away and stood up.
"I already told you people not to come close to me, yet you are all trying to seduce me. Don't you think this is wrong?" I snarled at him.
He shrugged with a smug smile on his face, which I badly wanted to wipe away.
"It's not wrong for us to try to seduce you. We are related by bond, you know. It's not easy to get rid of that, right?" he said.
If I stayed here any longer, I might do something I didn't want to do. So, I immediately pushed him away harder, making him fall to the ground. I was even surprised that I had used so much strength to push him. It's not easy for me to push him like that.
"That's why I said you should leave me alone! Now look at what happened to you. Just go away!" I said and quickly ran off. I didn't want to take responsibility for what I did.
Not only am I taking turns kissing the brothers, but now I'm going crazy over just a kiss. I couldn't sleep the entire night as I kept thinking about it. It was so fresh in my mind that I wanted to do it again. Maybe Nathan is the best kisser after all, but everyone has their unique ways of doing things that I find great enough.
Daisy woke up earlier than me. Since I was not able to sleep on time and only managed to sleep close to morning, she didn't bother to wake me up. Thankfully enough, we don't have much to do today. Since everyone has learned one or two things, the camp is going to come to an end soon.
Every time I think about what happened here in the camp, I can't help but think about Nathan and his brothers too. It's kind of crazy and annoying to me, but at the same time, it feels pleasant. I feel like an idiot. Could there be any particular reason I'm like this?
"Maybe you already fell in-"
"I didn't fall in love, so take that out of the question," I cut her off.
