Hello everyone. Hope you are enjoying your Summer. As some of you may know, or not know, I just had surgery last week and trying to feel 100% better. My health hasn't been the best for the past months so I have been trying to take it easy. I will try to update when I can. 

Thanks for Reading, Voting and Commenting. Stay safe everyone!

Tension and awkwardness. That is what you can see and feel if you were sitting in the cabin with the twins and Natalia. Something they have been feeling since they have arrived at the beach house. Or when they were alone.

No words had been spoken since one of the twins told the attendant that it was going to be the three of them riding. Natalia didn't even have a chance to protest since their hands on the small of her back lightly guided her inside right away. Even through her top she can feel the warmth of their hands.

Sitting in the middle, she placed both of her sweaty hands on the side of her, gripping the bottom of her seat. 

Slowly the cabin lifted so it could board other riders. The seconds ticked. No one spoke and Natalia felt like her heart -- which was beating a thousand miles per hour -- could be the only thing heard aloud.

Little by little the Ferris Wheel crept higher. Seeing the night sky, she closed her eyes. The cool breeze sent chills down her body which helped cool down the heat she felt being around the twins. Why did she feel like this?

Without having to open her eyes, she felt them. Their body heat cocooned her making her even more shaky. They didn't even have to touch her for her to feel the way she was feeling. The way she didn't want to feel for them.

Her stomach dipped when two sets of fingertips slowly caressed her arms. The slow dragging raised her arm hairs up, her already closed eyes screwed closed tighter.

Their breath tickled her neck so she had to tilt her head back and forth to try to escape it. It was no use, they decided to get closer. Their cologne attacking her nostrils right away.

"Why do you look so nervous baby girl?" Damien, the first to break the silence.

"Are we making you nervous?" Damon followed as he whispered above her ear, tracing the shell with his nose.

Swallowing the noise she wanted to make, Natalia managed to shake her head no. A lie she and the twins knew she was telling.

"Then why are your eyes closed and your body so tense? You can't even look at us. Or stop shaking." he continued to say.

"Maybe she's cold." Damien says. She felt him getting closer to her. A bit more and he would be on top of her.

"Maybe she is." Damon agreed. "Are you cold baby girl? Do you need to be warmed up?"

Shaking her head no, she managed to shift on the seat to be further back from them. "Keep it together Natalia. You can't let them affect you." internally telling herself.

The Ferris Wheel went around. Placing her hand on her stomach, Natalia tried to settle the butterflies she was feeling again. Until she was on solid ground, it wouldn't happen. 

The spinning stopped. Fluttering her eyelids open, Natalia glanced around the cabin. They were still above the ground, actually all the way on the top -- and the twins were staring at her.

"Afraid of heights?" Damien asked.

"A bit." she tells him. Her eyes glancing down while taking a deep breath in and out. Heights were never her thing. Roller coasters never bothered her when she was in them. It was when the ride stood still hundreds of feet off the ground that bothered her.

Both of her hands were pulled to the side. Held each by the twins, their warmth and the light squeeze they each gave her seemed to calm her down some. 

"We won't let you be afraid baby girl. We got you." Damon tells her with a wink which made her stomach flip all over again.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Tossing and turning. That's all Natalia has been doing for the past hour on her bed. It was after midnight and sleep wasn't setting in.

How could she sleep after what the twins did and said? A small gesture. Holding her hand throughout the rest of the ride because she was nervous or afraid of heights. They kept her calm even though being close to them continued to flip her stomach in different ways. Not wanting to feel that way, not about them.

But why though? They are attracted and popular. It was obvious a lot of the female population in the school thought so. How they were eye candy to them and some. She couldn't fault them for being who they were. 

Players. Reminding herself that's what they were. Or are. Who knew? They had made it evident they want her. But in what way? For sex? To be toyed with? To be passed between them for their pleasure? She had already been in that type of relationship back in Miami with her ex. The way he had made her feel like she was the only girl. How he convinced her that he was the only one in the world that understood her and no one, no one would love or care for her more than he would ever. She listened. She was vulnerable at that time. Her parents going through an ugly divorce and her father...

She had been used by two males already that claimed to love and cherish her. First her father. Using her as a pawn to hurt her mother and then her ex -- using her just to use her -- and use her he did.

But the twins haven't used her. At least not yet. It would be a matter of time until they had her falling for them. Then they would use her in whatever way and then dump her for someone else. Because they are players -- and that's what players do.

Kicking the covers off of her hot body, Natalia got off the bed. She felt hot so she decided to head downstairs to get a bottle of water.

Quietly heading down the hall and down the stairs, she made her way towards the kitchen. Thanking the Hearts for leaving some lights on, she made it without bumping into a wall or anything in the way.

The cold liquid soothed her dry throat and she couldn't help but let out a low moan. Water always quenched her thirst. Now maybe she would be able to head back upstairs and finally fall asleep.

Rounding the corner, she stopped mid-step. Tilting her head to the right, she could hear voices coming from the t.v. room.

Curious, she made her way standing against the wall to hear what seemed to be the twins talking.

"Do you think she will give us a chance?" 

"I don't know. She seemed to be fine with us holding her hand in the Ferris Wheel."

"Yeah, but that was because she was afraid. She avoids us like the plague half the time."

"You mean all of the time."

Natalia knew they were talking about her, who else would they be talking about? Did they always talk about her?

"I wonder why she won't just give us a chance? We haven't done anything to her for her not too. Have we?" knowing it was Damon who asked the question.

Damien responded. "Not that I know of. Except for acting like spoiled little brats trying to get her from Ken. You remember how pissed she was when we were fighting over her."

"Yeah. But, we want to get to know her. Ken was playing with her to piss us off. He made it a game. A game that we didn't want to play."

Hearing what she already suspected, she clenched her fist tight. Why she thought of giving Ken a chance?

Taking a deep breath she decided to do something she didn't think she would do. Going inside the room to make her presence known she waited only a few seconds before the twins noticed her.

"Natalia." surprised by her appearing in the room.

"Are you all right?" Damon was the one to ask. She could see the concern in his eyes.

"I couldn't sleep so I came down to get water." lifting up the water bottle for them to see.

Silence fell between them. They stared at her and she stared back.

"How would it work?" her breaking the silence.

Both sets of eyebrows shot up in question. Looking at one another, they then looked back at Natalia. 

So she answered. "I mean. How would it work if I gave you both a chance? Would I go on a date with each of you and decide who I like best? Or do we just hang out to get to know one another and take it from there?"

They once again looked at each other and back to her. Damien, the one answering her questions. "How ever you want to do it. We will follow your lead." glancing over to Damon for confirmation which Damon did by nodding at them.

Staring at them again, Natalia took a step towards them. "You won't pressure me into doing something I don't want to do?"

They shook their head form side to side. "No." responding in unison.

Another step forward. "You won't use me for your own fun then drop me for someone else?"

Again they shook their heads. "No."

The last step forward stood her in front of them. Looking down where they sat she asks. "You won't play games and hurt me?" whispering the last part. She knew there were never guarantees in relationships. They could easily do all the things they said they wouldn't do to her; lie, cheat and hurt her like her ex did.

Standing up from where they were seating, they each took her hand in theirs. Cupping each side of her face, their thumbs caressing her flushed cheeks, they looked at her softly and determined.

Raspy and low Damien says. "We promise that we will try our hardest not to hurt you. If we do, it won't be on purpose. That's a promise."

"If you give us a chance, we promise you that Natalia." Damon added with a serious expression.

Exhaling out and closing her eyes, she nodded slowly. "Okay." then stepped away from them. Nervously.
