  Yes! She took the bait! I was determined to seduce her and her make her mine.

  I didn't realize Helen started walPotter and was about 5 feet away from me, when she asked if I was coming and I tried catching up with her.

  We were walPotter, there was a tense silence between us, I was thinPotter of another way to win her and then I thought of it, the perfect thing, so when we entered the garden I decided to say it. "I'm so sorry about yesterday; I didn't mean to ruin your outfit." I decided by properly apologizing, I have a chance at winning her over. "Its fine." she said with an assuring tone. I knew my plan was worPotter.

  "I know you must hate me." I gazed at her intensely.

  "Look, I don't hate you but that does not mean I like you and I said it's fine." she said returning my intense gaze.

  Step one complete. At least now I know she doesn't hate me but just don't like me, that is easy to change,

  She just replied with an We finally reached the house and went to the living room. Her sisters went to bed, saying that they wanted to wake up early tomorrow and my mother and her mother were in the kitchen and my father and her father were in the library. Anthony, Sebastian, Eric and Dylan were at the bar, drinPotter and watching TV. I offered her a drink but she declined and said that she was going to sleep. Before she could say anything else I said I will escort her to her room. And she agreed. We walked up the stairs and went to the hallway on the left; my room was at the end. I told her that this is where mine and my brother's rooms are with mine being opposite hers. She asked where was her sisters' room were and I said the hallway on the right along with her parent's and my parent's rooms.

  She opened the door and walked inside, she was going to say something but I interrupted her. "Um, if you need anything, just ask." I told her

  "Thanks." she said

  "And Helen..."I said trailing off and casting my gaze down to the floor. I could not look her in her eyes with what I was going to say, I did not know why and this really bothered me. "Yes?" she replied.

  "Uh... Goodnight." I said with a shy smile.

  "Goodnight William." she said and closed to door.

  I leaned on the wall near the door, thinPotter why this woman has this type of effect on me,

  When I entered the bar, I was greeted by the sound of my brothers' laughter. I walked in and took the seat next to Anthony and poured myself some whiskey. "So, how's it going Will? See you in a bit of a daze." My little brother Dylan said coming closer to me. "Huh? Oh, uh everything is going fine." I said.

  "No, Will, everything is not fine." Eric said smugly.

  "What are you talPotter about? Everything is perfectly fine!" I said, sounding a little too harsh. "This is about a woman." Anthony said with a smirk.

  "A woman, that's, I don't know, the CEO of Potter Industries!" Sebastian said with a wide grin. "No! No! Never!" I said angrily.

  "Come on Will, no need to deny it, she is gorgeous with her perfect lips and hour-glass shaped body, she is basically a walPotter temptress. She could seduce you with just her eyes!" My brother Sebastian exaggerated.

  "I would so go for her if she wasn't older than me!" Eric exclaimed.

  "Come on Eric, when you worried about age!" Sebastian said.

  "That woman was at least 3 years older than you!" Dylan said trying to hold back his laughter but failed miserably, and with that we all started laughing.

  I am 26 going on to 27, Anthony is 25 going on to 26, Sebastian is 24 going on to 25, Eric and Dylan are both turning 23. "Okay, guys back to the subject at hand Miss Helen Potter." Anthony said bringing our attention to him. "She is a walPotter temptress. I bet I could make her mine in a week tops." Sebastian said with a smirk. "Yeah right Sebastian and I could build a bridge to Neverland!" Anthony said maPotter us all laugh.

  "But she is so cold and ruthless; well that is what I heard from people and a couple of people in her office building." Dylan said with a hint of fear.

  "But I wouldn't blame her. Things can get pretty tough and if you don't put up a front, other businesses will crush you." Eric said in a serious tone. "The elevator incident was the best!" Sebastian said laughing.

  "I literally thought she was going to kill you Will!" he continued.

  "Me too, she was so furious, I thought the steam coming from her ears will cause global warming in under 2 minutes." Anthony said joining in. "She had the look of death on her face, if looks could kill I bet Will would be 6 feet under by now!" Dylan exclaimed.

  "William's face was so pale; it looked like he had seen a ghost!" Eric said with tears in his eyes from laughing so hard.

  "I will never forget that, in a million years but I can assure you that she forgives me." I said maPotter them stop laughing and stare at me dumbfounded. "When?!" They asked in unison.

  "When we were walPotter back to the house, I told her that I was sorry." I answered casually. "Well, at least we know she likes you." Anthony said with a raised eyebrow.

  "Not exactly, she said she doesn't hate me, just don't like me." I replied.

  "I bet I could make her like me." Sebastian stated with a smug look.

  "Is that so?" I smirked. "Care to make a little deal?"

  "Like seeing which one of us could make her fall for us." Anthony said with a hint of amusement. "That's a Deal!" Sebastian yelled.

  "I will just sit this one out; I don't think she will go for someone younger than her." Eric said before yawning and going up to bed.

  "Eric is right; this will just be between the 3 of you." Dylan said before going to his room. When we were left alone, we continued talPotter about the deal. "We will start tomorrow morning." Sebastian said.

  "Let the best man win." I said giving my brothers a victorious smile before going to my room to sleep. Chapter 7: The Beach

  It was about 5:15 am when I woke up. I have always been the early riser but I started getting up even earlier for work. I had a quick shower and put on my bath robe. Then I walked towards my suitcase and pulled out black shorts that reach mid-thigh and a white flowy strappy top to match. I put on my white converse to match and carried a pair of white sandals in my bag, I know what you thinPotter, and how can someone be so crazy to wear sneakers to the beach but the truth is I felt more comfortable in sneakers than anything else. I decided to wear my sneakers till we reach the beach and change into my sandals once we get there.

  After dressing up, I tied my hair into a high ponytail. My hair was just above elbow length. It was 6:15am. When I got out of the room and into the hallway, I walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen. There was no one there except 3 maids.

  "Good Morning Miss, I am Janet and this is Teresa and Margaret." she said with a friendly smile while pointing to women who looks to be around her late forties which is Margaret and Teresa who looks to be in her late thirties.

  "What would you like to have?" Margaret said while gesturing for me to sit down.

  "I will have a cup of coffee with 2 sugars, please." I said with a smile. As Margaret was preparing my coffee, Teresa came up to me and said. "You sure are an early riser." She said with a chuckle. "Excuse me?" I said with confusion. "I am sorry, that was meant to be a compliment I didn't mean to offend you." "No, it's ok." I said giving her an assuring smile. "What she meant was that you are the first to get up this early." Janet said joining the conversation. "Really?" I asked.

  "Yes, everyone here wakes up by 7:30, as for the boys, Eric and Dylan wakes up a bit earlier than the rest normally at 6:50 but William, Anthony and Sebastian wake up about 7:35." she continued. "Eric and Dylan are like their mother, she also likes to get up early but William, Anthony and Sebastian take up after their father, he does not like to get up early." Margaret said putting my coffee down in front of me.

  I just chuckled and blew my coffee before taPotter a sip. We continued chatting; Margaret told me they have been worPotter for the Alexanders for 6 years now and that they make them feel like their part of the family.

  It was 6:45 and Margaret, Janet and Teresa left
to get breakfast ready. I offered to help but they said I am the guest and they are here to see to me. I walked towards the dining room and saw that no one was there, I thought my sisters would be up by now, they said they wanted to wake up early. So I walked upstairs and made my way to my sisters' room, I figured that it was time to get my revenge on them for what they did yesterday. I know it's pretty childish but I love teasing them.

  I walked to the front of the bed, they were sleeping so peacefully with Anabiah's hand on Evelyn's face and Evelyn's leg on Anabiah, I laughed to myself, they have always been restless sleepers and I should know, I used to share a room with Anabiah, when we used to stay in a small 3 bedroom flat Downtown. That was a long time ago when I was about 12 years. I grabbed the end of the comforter and pulled it with all my might, maPotter them fall on the floor with a scream.

  "Shh! You are going to wake up the others!" I said laughing while I threw a pillow at both of them. "Why did you that Chrissy!" They said in unison while pouting like 5 year olds, they looked so cute it made me think to when they were actually 5 years old. "We are going to the beach remember?" I said with a smirk and they quickly got up and ran to the bathroom and washed up. They ran out of the room still in their pajamas and left me laughing on the bed at how they moved as fast as lightning.

  I walked out of the room and went downstairs to see my sisters waiting patiently. When I reached the table, I sat down next to my sisters and waited for everyone to come. Soon my parents came down followed by Uncle Franklin and Aunt Lucinda. They sat down and Aunt Lucinda spoke.

  "Good morning! Hope you all had a good night!" she said with a wide grin.

  "Good Morning Aunty Lucy! We had a lovely sleep!" My sisters said in unison.

  "That's good to hear girls! Helen did you have a nice sleep?" she asked.

  "Yes Aunt Lucinda." I replied politely.

  "Where are the boys?" Uncle Franklin asked looPotter at Aunt Lucinda.

  "Maybe they are still asleep. They went late to sleep last night." she said

  "I'll send someone to wake them up. Julie!" Uncle Franklin yelled and Julie came rushing.

  "You called sir." she said looPotter nervous. She looks like a couple years younger than me. Maybe like 23. "Go and wake up the boys." Uncle Franklin ordered.

  "No need to dad." We heard someone say.

  We all looked up and saw William, Anthony, Sebastian, Eric and Dylan walPotter in a straight line into the dining room. They look so hot right now with their dark sweatpants and white shirts that hug their bodies showing off their muscles; William is a bit more built than the rest. Wait! What am I saying!! Just forget that I said that, it must be the coffee, maybe it was too weak and I am not fully awake. I shook my head getting rid of the thought.

  "Nice to see that you guys finally woke up." Uncle Franklin sighed. "Good morning my babies!" Aunt Lucinda said with a loving look on her face. Which made me chuckle and they blushed a little but turned away. William sat opposite me; we had the same seating arrangements from yesterday.

  "We will be leaving in 2 hours." Uncle Franklin said.

  "So you guys better eat fast and get ready." My father added.

  While we were eating, I caught all five of them staring at me, several times but thank god no one else noticed. After we finished eating, we all went to our rooms and got ready but since I was already dressed, I decided to check my emails. After checPotter my emails, I look in my suitcase for my white billabong hoodie. It was a bit big on me since I lost some weight but I still wore it anyway because it was comfortable.

  After taPotter my bag and leaving the room. I walked downstairs to see everyone except for the boys. When they finally came down about 5 minutes later, we made our way outside and in front of the water fountain were 2 black SUVs parked.

  Aunt Lucinda walked in front of us; she suddenly stopped and turned to face us.

  "Okay, I was kind enough to make some seating arrangements. Each car sits 6 people and since there is 12 of us, we will split up. Franklin, Harry, Linda, Isa and Eli and I will go in one car and Helen, William, Anthony, Sebastian, Eric and Dylan will go in the other."

  "Huh?" I said shocked

  "Don't worry we won't kill you." Sebastian whispered in my ear with a smirk on his face, maPotter me glare at him.

  "Is there something wrong Helen?" Aunt Lucinda asked with a hint of worry in her voice. "Not at all." I said sending her a reassuring smile. She just smiled at me. I seriously wonder if she did it on purpose.

  We made our way to the vehicles and my sisters and parents and Aunt Lucinda and Uncle Franklin were already inside their vehicle. When we got to our vehicle, I turned around and glared at them.

  "Okay, let's get this over with, I won't mind sitting anywhere but not in the middle."

  They just nodded and I got in and sat by the window. Then William sat next to me, then Sebastian, and Anthony, Eric and Dylan sat in the back. There was a very awkward silence and I regretted not telling Aunt Lucinda to switch my seat. They said they will not kill me but they are killing me with this silence. I don't know if God heard my silent prayer but my phone beeped notifying me that there is a message, when I got my phone out, I notice there were 5 pairs of eyes leaning in to see. I cleared my throat and they just backed away with Dylan whistling in the back. I checked my messages and saw that is was from my best friend Selene.

  I chuckled a little before replying.

  I just smiled and looked out the window.

  Then my phone vibrated and they all turned and stared at me. I swiped the screen and heard her voice boom through the phone, maPotter me jump. "Hey Chrissy!" She yelled excitedly

  "What do you want? And please keep your voice down!" I said to her.

  "Sorry just excited about getting to talk to you."

  "You talked to me yesterday and you just sent me a message not even 5 minutes ago." I said irritated. "Do I need a reason to call you? I miss my BFF."

  "Yes, you do need a reason and a good one."

  "Ok fine! Hey, Chase wants to talk to you." Selene said with an exasperated tone.

  "Okay."

  "Hey baby girl!" he said excitedly.

  "Stop calling me that Chase!" I yelled but I was laughing in my mind. These are my crazy friends. They are 4 of us myself, Selene, Chase and Matt. Selene and I have been friends from high school and we met Chase and Matt in University and have been best friends since. They are the only people I trust with my personal issues especially that one important one... they know the whole story even my family doesn't know the whole story.

  "Aw! Come on baby girl!" he whined. I did not notice that some people took an interest in my conversation and I cleared my throat to make it aware that I noticed them, they quickly turned back playing with their phones. I seriously don't know what's their problem and this is not the first time they did that!! It really is annoying me.

  "Chase, I'll hang up if you don't stop!" I scolded

  "Fine, I just want to have some fun but just so you know you are like a sister to me."

  "Aw! So sweet, I am actually tearing up." I said sarcastically. I heard Dylan cough trying to stifle his laughter and William just scoffed; I seriously don't know what is going on with them. "Really?!" he yelled excitedly.

  "No! You idiot!" I laughed and I could just see his pouting face.

  "You just broke my heart!" he exaggerated.

  "Oh shame, I have to hang up now."

  "Ok, see you tomorrow, the usual place?" he said

  "You bet." I said and ended the call. I notice that the atmosphere just got a lot tenser, which made me really uncomfortable. It felt like forever but it was only 1 hour and 30 minutes when we arrived at the beach, well the parPotter area. I couldn't wait to get out of this tense atmosphere, when the driver came by the door and opened it, William and Anthony got out then it was me and the rest of them. It felt so good to stretch my legs; it really was uncomfortable to sit in there for 1 hour 30 minutes. I took my bag and waited for the rest of the family to come.
<
br />   When they finally arrived, they got out and I could see the excitement on my sisters faces. They wore white shorts with matching light blue vests. Our father is very strict when it comes to wearing bikinis and revealing clothes especially me. I prefer not to wear bikinis and stuff ever since, 2 years now?

  After we gathered our stuff and I changed my shoes, we walked down the wooden platform to the beach. As soon as we got on the beach a cool sea breeze hit me, giving me shivers but I enjoyed it anyway. We walked towards, the beach chairs that were set up as well as a volleyball net. I laid down on one of the beach chairs and my sisters were so excited, they jump into the water, my mother and Aunt Lucinda just stood there getting their feet wet.

  They boys took off their shirts, showing off their perfect bodies and went into the water. William and Anthony wore black shorts whereas Sebastian, Eric and Dylan wore white ones, if Selene were here, she would be drooling over them and probably hit on them.

  As I was relaxing and recording my sisters playing in the water, they don't know it but for their party, I am maPotter a slide from when they were born to now. I know my I am a great big sister. William came out of the water and grabbed a towel from the chair next to me. He looked so cute, with his hair still dripping with water.

  "Aren't you going in the water? It is amazing!" he said with a smile.

  "Not now, maybe later?" I said.

  "Oh come on, Helen! Look at how much fun your sisters are having!" He said pointing to my sisters who were playing in the water. "I said later, I will go." I said.

  "If don't go now, I will carry you and put you in the water!" he said with a devious smirk. "You wouldn't!" I threatened him and he just chuckled.

  "You want to bet?" he said with the same smirk.

  "Don't you dare!"

  "One..."

  "No."

  "Two..."

  "William!"

  "Three!" and just like that he lifted me up into his arms and he started running towards the water. "William! Put me down!" I yelled at him but he just laughed.

  When we reached the water, he threw me in and when I finally was able to stand, I saw the boys laughing and my sisters, my mother and Aunt Lucinda with wide eyes. My sister's mouths were actually hanging open.
