That's My Fiancé
Chapter 25
Alexis peaked from the tree without being seen. She felt her body tense up as she grabbed onto the tree tighter as Jaden and Rosie were laughing in unison.
"Who is that woman with Jaden?" Alexis wondered. The blonde felt herself annoyed as those two talked to each other. Could it be jealousy? Well only Alexis would deny it while spying on Jaden chatting with this beautiful woman.
"So anyways, I wanna introduce ya to my friends." Rosie said, changing the conversation with Jaden. "Hey Ami! Cari! Come meet my cousin!"
Jaden turned his attention to two beautiful women running towards him and Rosie. Both Cari and Ami looked pretty and had similar fashion tastes to Rosie; compared to Alexis who is a natural beauty, the girls were a bit gaudy for his interests. However it was never his place on to tell a girl how to live; as long as they were happy then nothing mattered.
"Hey Rosie, who's that cutie? Is he single?" Ami asked, checking out Jaden not so subtly. Jaden only chuckled, feeling a bit shy at the compliment.
Alexis's eyes widened, not expecting more of those girls to be around. "The hell he's he's not…" Alexis growled as she squeezed the tree trunk.
"He must not be, looking like that!" Cari replied. "I'm Cari and this is Ami." She introduced with a wink.
"Nice to meet you Cari and Ami, I'm Jaden." He introduced before they shook hands.
"He's my cousin." Rosie whispered to the girls. Both Cari and Ami gasped, nearly fangirling made Jaden back away a bit, only to be stopped by Rosie.
"So if...he's your cousin...then….then... he's his-...but I thought it was just a rumor…" Ami started.
"Shhhhh, he likes his private life." Rosie whispered. "And if any of you girls tell anyone, you know I have blackmail material of you both."
Cari and Ami nodded rather quickly, promising to keep their mouths shut. They turned over to Jaden who looked confused at the conversation.
"Anyways, it's really nice to meet you, Jaden." Ami said.
"Yeah totally." Cari added.
Rosie smiled and placed everyone in a big group hug. "Great! Now that we know each other's names...let's have some fun under the sun! So what do you say, Jaden?"
"Sure, I could hang out with you gu-"
"Great, last one in the water is a rotten egg!" Rosie interrupted before the girls started to run towards the water. Jaden shrugged and followed the girls, trying to catch up with them much to Alexis's dismay.
Alexis was still hidden as Jaden and the girls played in the ocean, splashing each other and playing tag while swimming in the water. They all acted like kids at the beach despite all being eighteen or over. Many guys at the beach glared at Jaden; clearly jealous that he got to hang out with such beautiful women without even knowing that he was related to one of them.
Alexis glared, watching carefully at how they played together. One of the girls named Ami was clearly flirting with him, complimenting him every five seconds. Either Jaden didn't care about her or was too oblivious to see the flirting, most likely the latter.
The beautiful blonde decided to call her brother with her cell; trying to hide any sign of anger inside.
"Hello, Atticus speaking." He replied on the other line.
"Atti, are you busy?" Alexis asked.
"Well I was playing my guitar, buuuuut I can spare a moment to help my baby sister whenever she's in need. What's up?" He asked.
Alexis groaned. "It's Jaden, he's at the beach hanging out with these girls." She replied.
Atticus blinked in confusion at her answer, but then chuckled. "Is he now? They old friends of his or what?"
"I have no idea, I just got here." Alexis replied, continuing to watch them. "I'm watching them-"
"Hold on, you're spying on Jaden?" Atticus asked, he wanted to burst out laughing at how out of character she was being but he didn't wanna make her feel embarrassed. He took a deep breath before speaking again. "Since when did you care about who Jaden hangs out with? Not like you guys are really engaged or anything like that."
Alexis blushed deeply, her brother was absolutely right. This was all an act from the start, but why did she feel so...tense seeing Jaden and those girls together.
Atticus shook his head; he knew very well of the jealous female and what they're capable of through experience. No matter how often Alexis defined her feelings, he could see through. Guess it came with being the "Master of Love".
"Well...all I can say is get in there and fight for your man." Atticus suggested.
"H-He's not my man! He's a friend...who happens to be a man." Alexis protested.
"Fine, but you get my drift right?" Atticus asked, Alexis paused but then nodded. Her brother maybe was onto something.
"I gotta go, Atti. I'll see you at home. Alexis said, with a determined look on her face.
"Wait, Alexis! Jaden's friends are cute and over eighteen, could you ask Jaden into settting me u-" Atticus started before Alexis hung up the phone. She started to approach Jaden and the group of girls...knowing exactly what she needed to do.
