"I can't believe, you almost killed me" Brandon said putting the ice pack on his head and hissing.

"I just protected myself, thank god I didn't called cops or something " I said putting the coffee mug on table and adding " Beside it was your fault that you came unannounced and why did you had mask on?"

"There was some construction going on near my home so I had to wear it. Oh god" He hissed again and extended his hand for coffee mug but he stopped and looked at something else making me frown and see what he is looking at.

"You brought this gum?" He almost yelled making me wince and add. " Gosh, can you stop yelling and no, someone gave it to me" " Who the fuck gave this gum to you?" " Why are you yelling like it's poison or something"

" Bitch, this is branded gum. Do you know how much this gum costs?" I shook my head before pulling my mug of coffee near my lips and took a sip.

" Thousands of dollars" I spat all the coffee on his face and coughed before yelling. " What? Stop joking. You almost got me" I laughed aloud awkwardly and took some tissues from the table and started wiping his face while sitting just beside him.

" Babe, I am not even joking. Who gave you this? I want him as my sugar-"

The door of my apartment slammed opened making me flinch and quickly get up. There was two men in black suit and earpiece in their ear with sunglasses infront of their eyes. I put the mug down and quickly stood up before walking to them, Brandon following me.

" Who the fuck are you two? How did you get in the apartment " Brandon shouted at them but they just stood at single position facing straight ahead and then.

" Hello?" I averted my gaze at the familiar voice and my heart started beating faster. It was his friend, Kaiden Martin's friend.

" You? How did ? What? Why? Oh God this is insane" I said rubbing my forehead. Like who the hell he is? How did he know my address? Why is he here?

My series of thoughts was interrupted by a hand on my right forearm and then bran pushed me behind him making me stumble little.

" Look Mr, get the fuck out of here with your fucking minions and do not show your face ever. Get out before I call cops on you"

The man's gaze hardened as he looked at bran making me deep breath and he added.

" Who the fuck you might be?"

This man isn't good news and bran might make it worse so I just get rid of bran's hold on my arm and walked infront of himbefore adding.

" Bran, let me handle this"

" Babe, get inside your room. Let me call cops"

" Bran. Please"

I pleaded at him to which he rolled his eyes but didn't said anything so I just looked at that man who was looking at me with a wide grin on his making my heart flutter and also nervousness spreading around my body.

" Sir, please get out. How did you come here? How did you know my address? And why are you even here?"

I called out, his grin widened before his eyes started roaming over my body and while during this process I couldn't help but look at his formal yet comfortable attire.

" Myself Colton King. My friend called me few minutes ago and said he helped you for groceries and he forgot to get the jam you were looking. So I was near here and I brought it. Here you go"

One of his bodyguard from behind came with shopping bag and put it on the table in living room.

"Since he forgot which flavor you were checking, I brought you every flavor each"

And my jaw dropped. What in the universe is happening?

" What? Are you insane? How- I mean why- oh God. Please take it back. I don't need it"

I immediately took the bag and extended it to him to which he extended his arms but then put his hands in his pocket.

" Miss Aurora. I refuse."

" And I refuse too. Please I can't let a stranger pay for my groceries and his friend come up to give me remaining groceries. This is so wrong and I don't even need it. I don't even know how you know about my address"

" I went to the bakery and your colleague told me"

" Just like that? Who? How can they do that?"

" I will take my leave then. See you soon"

" Hey, the jam"

The group of men left just the way they came, like a thunder.

" What the fuck just happened?! Was he THE COLTON KING?! LIKE THE COLTON KING?! And who payed for your groceries? "

I winced at his loud voice before putting the bag on floor and taking a seat on couch and leaving a sigh.

" Why are you making a fuss. Only his surname/ last name is king not like he belongs to royals and his friend payed for my groceries and gave me that gum. His name was Kaiden Martin."

" Holy fuck! I think I am going to faint"

.

.

.

.

.

" I thought you were joking about fainting" I mumbled out as I pressed the ice pack on his head.

" yeah after you almost killing me with that bat and then all that information about handsome men, you thought I was joking?"

" Sorry bran, what can I do to make it better?" I asked feeling bad for his condition as he layed down on my bed. He immediately fainted and I had to drag him to bed and give him medication and all.

" Tell me every fucking thing like from starting and yeah that Colton King really does belongs to royals but he just has all the royal's companies under him and that's it. In one interview he said he didn't wanted to be a real king"

" You sure know about him too much."

" Well, I know everything about hot people. Even Kaiden Martin"

" Even me?"

" I said hot people not stupid people"

" Meanie!"

" Don't try to change the topic and spill the tea"

.

.

" I think they are in love with you"

Blood rushed towards my cheeks and ears making it go pink just like my hair strands.

" What? Are you crazy? "

"No, Tell me why would he pay for the grocery and all if he wasn't in love with you"

" Maybe he thought I am poor and he should do some charity and bran, the word " Love" is too big to be thrown around."

He rolls his eyes before getting up from bed and adding.

"I thought we could spend quality time together today since you had day off and we wasted it. Look out, it's already sunset time"

When I looked outside through the window in my room, the sun was barely there and everything was dark.

" Should we go out for dinner?"

I hummed before adding.

" Let me change real quick till then decide where we are going"

" Get your ass up then because we are leaving in 10 minutes."

" 30 minutes"

" 15 minutes"

"25 minutes"

We both looked at each, our hands folded infront of our chest and nodded to each other before saying together.

" 20 minutes"

I quickly walked in my closet and started to find an outfit while bran stood up from bed washed his face and settled his hair before walking out of room giving me privacy.

I picked a light pink crop top with white pencil skirt and white sneakers.

"Witch" was the answer when I asked bran about how I look to which I threw a pillow from my bedroom to him who was sitting on my couch, man spreading and scrolling through phone.

" I found a perfect Italian restaurant, should we go there?" Bran asked after dodging my pillow. I walked out of the room and sat beside him with his arm on my back looking into his phone.

"Do you think I would say no to Italian place?"

I looked carefully at the images in his phone screen which had restaurant opened up, it looks luxurious.

"Yk, I haven't gotten my salary yet"

His fingers stopped on his screen and he looked at me, suddenly his eyes were filled with hurt and he let out groan. Taking his hand to his heart he said.

" Your words felt like bullet in my heart. Do you think you need to pay of you are with me?"

" Oh gosh! You scared me. I thought you were having heart attack or something "

I slapped on his chest hard making him groan in real pain and he cursed out " Bitch"

"So Mr Overactor, if you are done with your act then can we leave? I am really hungry."

I said getting up from couch and walking towards the exit.

" Hey! My acting is not over acting. People love my acting and I have a good fan base too"

He flipped his imaginary long hairs dramatically making me give him side eye to which he muttered sorry embarrassingly and walked out of the apartment.

Did I not mention that Brandon is an actor? He started his acting career when he was 16 and we met when he was 15. I met him when me and my mom moved to LA. He became my best friend and his family became my family too. Well, sometimes I would wonder if our friendship won't work but it did.

Also Brandon told me he was gay and keep it secret. Bran and I have been with each other through our worse, so basically we are soulmates.

I followed bran out and shut the door, even though the lock doesn't work.

" I am getting it fixed tomorrow. We can't let strangers enter your house and let's think what if it was really someone else and not me "

Bran said making me shake my head and add.

" I will get it done, don't worry"

" You have been saying that for few monthsnow"

" I mean it this time"

" I won't listen to you"

" Bran, please-"

" I ain't listening to you bitch. Now start walking with your short legs and get in my car"

" Hey! I don't have short legs"

" Says the one with height of 4'11"

" *Gasp* You can't make fun of my height, that's rude"

" Well, you are short."

He pushed his tongue out teasing me and running down the stairs to the parking lot making me follow him.

" I hate you"

I said bucking the seat belt and huffing out.

" I love you too, baby"

.

Let's say the restaurant is really, really luxurious. It screams rich and expensive vibes. The waiter walked us to the table which had five luxurious chairs in circle. Bran stands behind the chair and pulls it towards him before pointing towards me.

" Have a seat, darling."

I smiled at his actions and took a seat while he sat beside me.

" What should we order?"

He asks picking up the menu book from the table and flipping it. I took another menu book from the table and looked at menu, it had names of dishes but no price and only ratings. I keep flipping the pages wanting to try something new when I heard someone speaking just right near me

"Aurora, is that you?"

I didn't had to look at their face to know who it was. Their voice was enough to make my heart flutter and send tickle down my Body. The idea of seeing that person made the blood in my body to rush to the cheeks and neck.

Not wasting anymore second, I looked up to see him smiling. He waves at me making me wave back awkwardly. He stood their in black jeans which were slightly loose with black belt and brown t-shirt and Rolex on his left wrist.

He looks hot, Kaiden Martin looks Devine.

Beside him stood his friend from morning with black pant and white shirt and his coat in his left hand along with Rolex watch. His sleeves rolled up revealing all the ink art in his arm. His muscles popping out with his shirt buttons barely keeping themselves together. Colton King just smiles at me nodding like he is in meeting.

The other man stares right deep into my soul making my heart skip a little before jumping and starting to jump like it's on trampoline. My hands that were resting on table starts slightly shaking when they felt the threat in the air making my breath Hitched.

Instead of smile or a grin, his face was... emotionless? His eyes were Grey with thin eyelashes and thick eyebrows. He had beard. While Colton was shaved, kaiden was with little beard but he had alot of beard which makes him more hotter. His series of tattoos starts just from his jawline to neck to down...

His outfit was all black and formal like he just had meeting. My eyes finds the floor more interesting when that man's eyes roam around my body shamelessly making me feel self conscious and insecure.

Words spills from mouth lowly because of many eyes on me and nervousness.

" Wow, what a coincidence!"
