ENEMIES IN LOVE by Melody Dupree (android e book reader txt) 📕

said, “Do you know who I am? My daddy is the owner of this restaurant and when I come here my meals are free and any one who is with me in the V.I.P section gets their meals for free also thank you very much,” I told him. “Ma’am, we get a lot of fakes in here so I’m going to need to see some I.d.” I took out my I.d and showed it to him. “Okay you can go,” he said quickly. “Good choice because the next time you hold me up you’re not going to have a job and I mean that. Good bye,” I said and walked off with Jabri and his brother’s right behind me. “Wow Amber,” Jabri said. “Did you see the look on that guys face when you threatened to fire him? You really don’t play around.” “No I don’t,” I replied. “Feisty, I like it,” Jabri said and I could hear the smile in his voice. “Watch it,” I warned him. Twenty minutes later we were in the sky heading home. “Javier, how long will it be before we land? I want to take the boys down to the swimming pool,” I said. “We will be landing in about two hours so you have enough time,” he replied. “Oh there is enough swim trunks in the boys locker room for all of them and your swimsuits and bikinis are all clean so you don’t need to worry,” he told me. “Okay thank you,” I replied. “Come on boys follow me.” “Where are we going,” Jabri asked. “You’ll see,” I answered him. I led them down a spiraling staircase to the locker rooms. I led the boys to their locker room and showed them the swim trunks. They each grabbed one, and then I went to my locker room and put on my silver bikini that showed my tan skin off to perfection. As soon as I walked out to the pool, I went and entered the boys locker room. I told the boys to follow me and I showed them to the pool area. I told them they could go on in and I would be in there in a second and went back into my locker room. The next moment I entered the room and Jabri looked up and I saw his mouth fall open. I walked down the aisle to the diving board. I got on the diving board, took a running dive, raised my arms above my head and dove off the end of the board.

CHAPTER THREE THE TOUR


The moment I hit the water there was barely a splash. As I resurfaced there was the sound of another splash and I turned to see Jabri surface next to me with a smile on his face. “My dives aren’t nearly as good as yours are,” he said. I smiled and said, “You know something, you and your brothers are the only people who have ever been on this plane with me before and in this pool.” “Let me guess we are also the only people who have ever paid any attention to you and asked you to show us around town,” he asked me. “Yeah you are as a matter of fact,” I told him. “Then I guess I am also the only person to ever tell you this: you’re cute,” he said to me. Just then he leaned towards me and our lips met. The moment our lips parted, we turned to leave the pool and saw Jabri’s brothers staring at us. The moment I saw them staring at us a dark blush started creeping up my face. During the kiss I had totally forgot that they were even there and I was pretty sure Jabri had, too. But now that I saw them there I quickly got out of the pool and rushed to the locker room. Five minutes later, I heard a knock on the door and I opened it. “Hey there is no need to be embarrassed. My brothers were just kind of shocked to see me kiss a girl for the very first time,” Jabri told me. “I just went upstairs and Javier told me we would be landing in twenty minutes. So you might want to get dressed and go upstairs,” I told him. “Hey Amber,” Jabri said to me when we were upstairs. “When I was talking to you downstairs your hair was wet, but now it isn’t. How did it get dry so fast?” “I don’t know,” I replied, worried that he would see the fangs that I had discovered coming in that morning. Just that moment the plane landed and rolled to a stop. Javier opened the plane door and we got off. I led the way to my car and started towards town, so I could show them around town. As soon as we got into town I drove down to Main Street and started telling them about the town, its buildings, and its history. By the time we were done with the tour it was time for lunch. I took them to Tatiana’s for lunch and then went shopping. When I was done there was one new bag of clothes for each of them and about five new bags of clothes for me. We got back into my car and drove around to the beach. Just then the gates of my house loomed up in front of my car and I made a quick u-turn to avoid any questions about my house. But it was too late. Jabri being the first one to see it asked me, “Amber whose house is this?” Not wanting to lie I told them it was my house. The first person to speak was Thomas, Jabri’s oldest brother. “Wow Amber you weren’t kidding when you said you were rich,” he said. “I have an idea. How about I show you around my house,” I offered. “Okay,” they agreed. I made another u-turn and went back up the driveway. “Hello Miss Lane,” the guard said opening the gate and letting us through. As soon as I stopped the car one of the servants ran over and opened the doors so we could get out. As soon as all of us were out of the car the front door opened and my dad came outside to greet us. “I thought I heard your car pull up,” he told me. “And who are your friends?” “Daddy these are the new boys in my school that I told you about. Their names are Thomas, Jerry, Codey, Nate, Sebastian, and Jabri,” I told him, surprised that I got each of their names right. “I told them I would show them around the house.” “Oh okay sweetie go ahead,” he told me smiling at me and my friends. I quickly lead them inside and started showing them around. I started with the first floor and ended with the last floor which half of it was my whole entire bedroom. They told me they were glad I had an elevator in my house. Then I offered to show them around outside.

CHAPTER FOUR JABRI’S LIFE


The moment they said yes, I led them to the wall and typed in a code that no one knew but me. Ten seconds later a hole opened up revealing a flight of stone stairs, which I led them down to the open doorway at the bottom. When everyone was out I turned around and typed in another code and the doors at the top and bottom closed. When they asked me how I knew about the secret exit I simply said that I had found them one day while exploring my house. I showed them everything from the bowling alley to the skating rink. I even showed them my hi-tech tree house. Just as we were returning to the house Thomas said that they should be heading home. Jabri told them to go ahead and to tell their mom that he would be home later after dinner. They left and Jabri turned to me and said, “I know you didn’t show us everything. How come you didn’t show us everything?” “I only want to show you everything else,” I told him. “Come on follow me.” I showed him all of my favorite hiding places and my secret entrance that I use when I’m late getting home. Then we sat in my tree house talking until dinner. Just then my dad came with two trays of food one for me and the other one for Jabri.When we were done I said, “You know everything about me now. How about you tell me a little bit about yourself.” “Okay I guess I will,” he replied with a smile on his lips. "My brothers and I lived with our mom and dad until I was nine years old. The day we recieved the news we had just got home from school, so it was a big shock for all of us. We stayed with our mother and we moved around alot. My mom had promised that this would be the last time we moved, but I seriously doubt it will be. We have lived here for a month and we didn't have a school to go to, until my mom ran into your dad at the store and she asked if there were any schools where she could send six teenage boys. I guess he said yes, because when she got home she said she had gotten a job and found a school for all of us to go to. We were happy that we would be going to school this month, because all of us need to finish school, so we can get jobs to help out our mom with the bills," he said with a smile.
