Have a nice swim

"what are you doing?"

Maeve was so surprised that this guy was so fast to pin her on a wall. His chest raised and fall which got Maeve wonder this was a way he normally calms himself. In the next second, he released her form his grip.

"just follow me" he muttered

Maeve stood there quietly for a few seconds trying to recollect what just happened. But then she followed him. As time went by, Gray showed her around the house. Since she's just a newbie and their parents just got married last week.

While showing her around, Gray asked her a few questions like her name, age and so on.

When they duo went downstairs, Gray showed Maeve around the vicinity. Until the both reached the pool.

suddenly, Maeve decided to throw him a question.

"can I ask youa question?" she said

"you just did"

"huh?"

"you did it again"

"whatever. I just wantedto ask why you didn't show up to your father's wedding. I neverknew he had a son or a child " she retorted.

"It's none of your business " He snarled and was about to leave.

"oh really... " Maeve trailed off. "... I was trying to be friendly here and trying to make up for what I did last night"

"tch. Friendly? You don't have to be friendly I am your brother so right now, we are siblings " His words were full of sarcasm. Maeve rolled her eyes In annoyance.

seeing that Maeve wasn't saying anything, he said "Now if you'll excuse me. I have some decent place to attend"

"looks like you don't like staying all alone in this beautiful house of yours" she said, folding her arms.

"thank you for noticing "

"You should be ashamed of yourself " Maeve blurted out.

To Gray, hearing those words 'ashamed' is just like piercing a knife through his heart. He was never used to being called all sorts of names especially by someone who he barely knows. wait what? Ashamed?Gray Everret ashamed? These two words doesn't get along with each other and shouldn't be compatible. But even though she was being rude to him and how those words affected him, he seemed unfazed physically.

"For what exactly? "

"for... " Maeve trailed off and started walking around him in circles. " ... throwing a party in your father's house with bunch of teenagers who are supposed to be studying by that time of the night while our parents were gone "

"studying by 7pm? who in the world does that ?"

" What's wrong with that? "

" nothing... just boring " he chuckled

"Hey!"

"Look..." he interrupted "you have reached your limits of talking to me"

"who in the world do you think you are"

"you talk.. a lot" Gray said.

"well I wouldn't if you didn't answer my question. Oh and yes!" said Maeve as she remembered something. "who is that girl you were making out with in my bathroom and why should you do it in my bathroom?"

"see? this is what I mean " he said.

"what?"

"I must not answer your damn question" he replied curtly.

"Another word from you and you'll be - "

"I'll be what? huh?"

"Maeve" he called her with a tone as clam as ever.

"do you think I wouldn't ask after everything you did last night? you think-"

"Maeve" he called her again with the same calm tone but this time, he was getting impatient. The girl never cared what he was going to say but continued blabbing whatever that comes to her mind.

"you think you could come to my room to-"

Maeve couldn't finish what she was saying because in the next second, Gray had already lifted her from the floor, walking towards the pool.

"what are you doing?" she asked

"you can swim right?" he asked but she was quite confused of what he was trying to say.

"Have a nice swim" he smirked and released his hands from her body and then she fell inside the pool.

"yeah. Another word from you and you'll be swimming inside the pool" he retorted with a smirk and left.
