Chapter 4

Scarlett's POV

The next morning I woke to my cousin banging on my door. I quickly for some reason jumped out of bed and opened the door. Not to my surprise she was still a wee bit drunk.

"Oh Cuz! I forgot to tell ya. I'll be staying in today. I swear the whole world is moving against me." she says as she falls backwards onto the floor behind her.

I just shake my head as I grab her and try to pick her up but she thinks I am having a tickle fight with her and she begins to tickle me. Oh for the love of god.

"Stop it!" I yell at her in between laughs.

Then we hear the elevator door open and we both look up to see Munder and Dodge staring at us. Both smiling at us then looking at one another. Oh great how am I going to explain this.

"Hey you! Your the one who helped my cousin last night. Well you argued for her on my side you and you brought her up here." my cousin says as she pulls me to the ground and stands up.

"Yeah we just came to check on her." Dodge says as he looks at my drunken cousin.

"Well there she is." my cousin says pointing to me then walking into my room and shutting the door.

"Hey! That's my room!" I yell back at her. "Go sleep in your room with your beau!"

"No! I don't wanna!" My cousin yells back with a laugh.

Ugh really? This is all that I need right now. I look back up to Dodge and Munder.

"Too bad you can't pick your family huh?" I say as I move to stand up and both of them offer me their hands.

I raise my eyebrow at them but take both of their hands and the feeling comes back full force but not the electric of flame feeling this is more of a lustful feeling. I gulp as I use their help to stand up but then look at both of them and can clearly see they felt what I did. I can't blame that feeling on the carpet either.

"Well, uh thanks for helping me and coming to check on me. I apprecaite it." I tell them as I tuck a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Just glad to see you are alright." Dodge says.

"And that the drink didn't mess up your hair." Munder adds.

"Oh right my hair." I say as I run my fingers through it. "Nope all good. thanks for everything you guys. It's rare to meet someone like you two."

"I don't know about that." Munder says as he looks to Dodge.

"We were just glad that we could help out is all." Dodge then tells me.

Then my door opens and my cousin tackles me back to the ground.

"What is with you and wanting me to make contact with the ground?!" I yell at her.

"There is a costume party tonight. First place wins 100 bucks!" she says in a drunken laugh. "You could totally win."

"I don't know about that and did you brush your teeth lately?" I ask her.

"No I just got the message and decided to tell you." she says then looks back to Dodge and Munder. "So which one of them got you laid?"

I push her off and of me and quickly stand up.

"Neither of them. They helped me out that's all." I tell her.

"Uh huh cuz they are both males they don't just help out without wanting something in return." she tells me with a wink as she walks into her room this time.

"Right and on that note I am going to go get dressed. I want to know what happened after I left though so can you guys wait here?" I ask both of them.

"Yeah, sure." Dodge answers for the both of them.

I smile and run back inside just to change into a pair of shorts and a white tank top and run back out to meet them as I put on my flats and both of them watch me as I do this.

"That was fast." Munder tells me with a smile.

"I'm use to getting dressed and undressed fast." I tell him with a smile.

I walk with them to the elevators as Munder presses the button this time. We wait as the elevator door then opens revealing the woman from last night with a bandage over her nose and ice pack on her head. I can't help but smile as she glares at me. Before I know what to do next I feel a protective arm around me and look to see it's Dodge. Is it odd that I am kind of use to him doing that?

"Keep moving." Munder warns the woman who then walks past us but not without winking at Munder who just shakes his head.

"Maybe I should have made sure that I broke it." I say as we walk into the elevator.

"You did make her bleed at least." Munder tells me.

I get an odd feeling again and look to see that Dodge still hasn't taken his arm off of me. I just smile at him as he presses the button.

"So what happened after he took me away?" I ask Munder.

"Your cousin decided that she would threaten the woman as did I and then her friends and parents got involved and then something to do with sueing and it just went down hill from there." Munder tells me.

"Right, sorry I wasn't trying to cause problems but I just hate to see when people are treated like that. So I come and save them." I tell him.

"Thanks for that. You didn't cause me any problems but helped me out." Munder tells me as the doors open and we walk out to the main floor.

All the sudden we feel the ship start to rock really hard. I feel my feet slip out from under me and brace myself to hit the floor, it hits me hard and I start sliding down the floor but before I reach the end I feel a hand grab onto mine. I grip the hand hard and hold onto it for dear life. I feel the hand start to pull me up I look up and am surprised to see that it's Jack who is pulling me up.

"Don't let go!" He tells me.

"I won't!" I yell back to him.

Jack pulls me up and puts me against the collumn he is holding onto. I look at him still surprised at what he just did for me. Then he looks at me and stares right into my eyes almost as if he was searching for my soul. Without thinking I put my hand on his cheek and he looks down at it. I expect him to push my hand away but he doesn't in stead he puts his hand on top of mine and he looks back into my eyes. I look back down at his hand when I feel him lean forward and put a small kiss on my forehead. This surprises me and I look up at him and smile as the ship then levels out.

"Are you alright?" he asks me as he looks me over.

"Yeah I think, it just happened so fast. I didn't know what to do." I tell him as her puts his hand on my head.

"Lucky I was there. You were headed for a window." he tells me.

I turn around and see that his statement was true. Oh god what would have happened to me then? Then I turn back to him. I don't know what to do or say now really.

"Thank you. I really don't know what else to say." I tell him as he takes my hand and lowers it from his cheek.

"Be careful, I can't be around all the time." he says with a smile then walks away from me.

Oh I know he did that to be pay back for last night I just know it so I smile as he walks away from me. I then turn around and see two very paniced men coming my way. Dodge and Munder.

"Are you alright?" Munder asks.

"We tried to grab onto you." Dodge says as they both look me over.

"Yeah, Jack caught me believe it or not." I tell them as they look at each other shocked as well. "Yeah that was the same look I had."

"The ship doing stuff like that doesn't happen that often. It caught us all off guard." Munder says looking around the lobby.

"Yeah I would prefer that you know that never happens again." I tell him.

"Let's get you something to eat. I bet we may have to look in the dining room now and hope everything didn't break." Dodge says as he and Munder take me to the dining room.

To our surprise it seems that the dinning room is perfectly fine. Everyone is sitting and eating as if nothing had happend at all. I look at both of them and see that they are confused as well.

"Uh did what just happen really happen?" I ask them both as I look at both of them.

"I have no idea, but I know it happened." Munder says looking around the dining room as well.

"So then how come everything in here seems perfectly fine?" I ask.

"Not a clue, I swear this it just too weird." Dodge replies. "Let me go check something out."

All the sudden then Dodge takes off away from Munder and I. We both look at each other and then just shrug. I sit down at one of the table and Munder sits down in one of the chairs as the waitress comes over.

"He can't eat with you. He's staff." the woman tells me and Munder starts to stand up but I stop him.

"No right now he's my friend and he's going to eat with me." I tell her as she just scoffs and Munder sits back down.

"What do you want then?" she asks looking at Munder with lust in her eyes.

"Just Orange juice please and stop staring at him before your eyes fall out." I tell her as she then walks off. "You attract odd women."

"You have no idea." Munder tells me as he takes a sip of ice water that was already at the table.

I start to read the menu trying to figure out what I want to eat.

"Why did your cousin think that Dodge or I slept with you?" Munder asks me.

I put the menu down and look at him. Well here it goes.

"Because she thinks that all men are pigs and will only help a girl out for sex in return." I tell him honestly.

"She has a really low opinion of men." he tells me as he relaxes in his chair.

"Well she didn't use to but her last boyfriend changed all of that." I say with a sigh.

"Some men are like that but not all of us." he tells me looking me in the eyes just like Jack did.

Wait am I really thinking about Jack? Why in the heck would I be thinking about him? After all the guy is just weird but he did save me after all. Oh brother why does this have to happen to me?
