If Looks Could Kill, I'd Be Dead

Sascha

Waking up covered in silk made everything all the better. Knowing that I was here in England, away from anything and everything was just amazing. I was so excited to be here. So excited even that I woke up at 5 in the morning and didn’t care. I was just excited to be here with Theta and Camden’s family.

Of course 5 was way too early to wake up, but I felt like it was 5 hours ahead so my inner clock thought it was already 10. God I hated jet lag. Whenever I went somewhere on vacation it always ruined the first few days of it all.

After waiting another few hours, awake in the warm, comfortable king sized bed, in an amazing room with a view of the whole courtyard and the forest, I got up, showered, threw on a random shirt with a hoodie and some skinny jeans in which I looked great in.

This was going to be amazing. I couldn’t wait to be with everyone and just explore the city. I had never been in England. My parents usually went to more exotic places with me, places with beach and sun where we could just relax. England was never on the list.

“London calling to faraway towns. Now that war is declared and battle come down…” Someone was skipping down the hallways singing that happily.

I looked around the corner and saw Camden seductively wiggling his little but while singing ‘London Calling’ by the Clash, his voice soft and wonderful in my ears. I couldn’t help but keep my eyes glued to those desirable hips of his swaying while he was jumping around.

“Stop pervin’ on my brother.” Loren slapped the back of my head before walking down the hallway. He was also already dressed.

I grumbled curse words under my breath glaring at Loren who had a smug smirk playing on his lips. He only shrugged my glare off as we walked to the breakfast table.

Everyone else was already down here, Camden rushing down just after us, his usual overused large sweater pulled on, his hair messy from running down the stairs, but it only made him look cuter with the bed hair. I just wanted to cuddle him and have him in my lap.

He sat down next to his dad though muttering a quiet good morning and pecking him on the cheek.

Breakfast was fine and afterwards Loren decided we’d go to downtown London and just do some sightseeing. He knew Theta wanted to take some pictures of all the big statues and that so we’d do that the rest of the day, which was fine by me.

I still had to go shopping and buy everyone Christmas presents. I had enough money on my bank card and I didn’t want to lug an entire suit case filled with presents with me here.

“Collin, Jae and Crolyn want to come with us.” Loren added on, “So we’ll meet them downtown.”

We all nodded, got into the small car and then drove off towards downtown. I was all jittery and couldn’t sit still in the backseat. Theta was grinning as well.

It made my heart soar to see her so happy. I really was glad that she got to experience this She was such a good person, always looking out for others and I just wished more people were like her. She deserved a nice vacation in a place she’s always loved.

“This is amazing.” She whispered happily.

I nodded, “I know. You seem so excited. You got your camera?” I asked her.

She nodded and showed me the Nikon.

Loren parked somewhere, paid for an entire day pass as we all got out. Camden was gripping onto his brothers arm tightly while we were walking through downtown. I guess just because he was more open around us and his family didn’t mean he was good outside as well.

I frowned remembering how shy he had been. He’d barely even been able to say one word to us without almost breaking down. And then I had been an asshole to him and pushed him down. How he ever forgave me for that was still a mystery to me.

He whispered something to Loren who frowned and stopped walking. Theta and I looked confused at the two, but Loren gave us a ‘keep walking’ look and we both decided not to butt in on what they were talking about. It seemed serious.

I just looked around at all the old historic buildings mixed in with the new. It really was amazing. We got to the Thames, running right through the heart of the city, just seeing the murky water made me smile brighter. This was the sign that we were here. If we walked along this river we would get to Big Ben, the London Bridge. All these history buildings and statures known all over the world.

I couldn’t help but take in this moment. Theta seemed to be doing the same thing. She was staring down at the water, a grin spread across her face as she realized the same thing. She squealed loudly and wrapped her thin arms around my neck.

“We’re really here Sash.” She whispered happily, “This is the best Christmas ever so far.”

I smiled as well and nodded kissing her cheek, “This really is amazing. I can’t believe we’re here in this city.”

Finally, Loren and Camden joined us again. Camden still looked a bit apprehensive, but seemed to feel better. Loren just smiled at us, showing off those wonderful white teeth of his.

“You guys enjoying the view?” he asked.

Theta and I nodded quickly grinning from ear to ear. This was amazing.

All of a sudden a big ball of blonde ran over. The ball jumped, aimed and flew right into the arms of Loren who stumbled back at the force that the ball was launched at him, a high pitched squeal echoing through the midday sun.

Loren swung the small girl around in a circle happily, laughing excitedly.

“Hey Carolyn, don’t hog him!” A dark haired kid whined.

I couldn’t help but look twice at him. He was around my height, skinny with obvious toned muscle in the right places a tight jacket covering his toned body, skinny jeans low on his hips showing off the Pacman boxers, spacers in his ears. To be honest he was hot!

The girl jumped off Loren and stopped molesting him. She was short with bright blonde hair, perfect white porcelain skin, red lipstick making her luscious lips stick out. She had a bright white jacket on and a skirt with ripped stockings and bright red converse.

“Hey Collin.” Loren smiled, but it seemed a bit forced.

They hugged quickly, one of those ‘bro hugs’ before Loren turned to the third guy, a blonde kid who was shorter than Collin and Loren, but with just the same body type, his blonde hair hidden under a blue beanie.

He smiled and hugged Loren as well.

“Guys, this is Theta.” Loren introduced Theta who waved awkwardly blushing, staring at the girl Carolyn, “And this is Sascha.” I grinned and waved as well.

I couldn’t help but look over at Collin again. He was looking at me as well a smirk playing along his lips. God that smirk of his was hot. It gave me shivers to see his dark brown eyes twinkling and filled with mischief.

I smirked as well and looked away showing no interest… or making him think I’ve got no interest.

How bad could a vacation fling be? He sure as hell looked interested. I think I could do this.

You’re such a whore Sascha.

In that moment I looked over at Camden who was hiding behind Loren, just as he had done in the beginning with us, his hands gripping onto his brothers jacket tightly, his breath coming in short bursts. Hurt flashed across his face when he realized how I’d been staring at Collin…

But not just hurt there was something else…

Fear… as well…?
