"Where is your dog?" I asked Bronagh.
"In the sittin' room on his bed," Bronagh said then whistled so loud it made me wince.
Things were quiet for a moment then the noise of nails on the floor could be heard, as well as heavy panting. I widened my eyes when a puppy barged into the kitchen.
"Oh my God. Look at the size of him, he so feckin' cute!" I gushed when the little Husky waddled in my direction. He couldn't have been older than eight weeks; he was so chubby and small that I felt myself melt into a puddle.
"His name is Tyson."
"Hey Tyson," I cooed in a baby voice. "You're gorgeous. Yes you are, ah yes you are."
"Where did you get him?" I asked Bronagh as I rubbed Tyson's head.
"Dominic got him for me birthday yesterday." Bronagh beamed then messed with Tyson's ears making the puppy lightly groan in delight at having his head and ears scratched.
"Happy belated birthday," I said making Bronagh laugh.
"Thanks."
I turned my attention back to Tyson, picked him up and sighed. "I love him already. I love Huskies, they are my second favourite breed."
Bronagh asked, "What's the first?"
"German Shepherds." I gave Tyson to Bronagh then got my phone from my pocket and showed her the screen saver.
Bronagh's eyes widened. "Omigod, he is huge! So beautiful!"
I beamed. "His name is Storm and he is two years old."
Bronagh cuddled Tyson to her. "I don't want him to get big."
I laughed. "Trust me, I don't blame you. Storm refuses to sleep anywhere but in me bed. I babied him too much I guess."
Bronagh snorted. "Dominic won't let Tyson sleep with us because last night he bit his fingers and toes when he saw them touchin' me in bed, it was brilliant."
I smiled and looked towards the backdoor, Nico looked like he was having trouble with getting the roof of the doghouse positioned correctly. Bronagh opened the door and Nico's loud mumbling could be heard, she had a ghost of a smile on her face which indicated to me that she was about to do something to piss Nico off.
"You're doin' that wrong!" she called out.
Nico froze and the muscles in his back tensed. "Get back inside the house and close the door. Now," he growled without turning around.
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Bronagh, who didn't move a muscle.
"The doorway needs to be bigger, he is goin' to be a big dog Dominic," Bronagh said with an upbeat chirp to her tone.
"Bronagh Jane Murphy, I will paddle your ass so hard that you won't sit down for a week if you don't get back inside that house. You were just on my case about building the damn thing, so let me build it my way."
I blew out a breath and licked my lips only to receive a flick on the ear that made me jump and snap my head to the right. I tilted my head all the way back so I could look up at the person who flicked my ear.
I narrowed my eyes when they landed on Alec's face.
"What was that for?" I hissed at him.
"You were drooling over my little brother."
Untrue.
I scoffed and turned back to watch the amusing scene that was Bronagh and Nico.
"I thought you said you wouldn't get mad at me over me suggestions anymore?" Bronagh said to Nico.
Nico dropped his hammer, stood up to his full height and turned around. His body was perfection, ripped and tan beyond belief.
I licked my lips. "Okay, now I'm droolin' over your little brother," I whispered to Alec, who moved behind me and growled as he put his arms around me and placed his chin on my head.
"You're lucky you're sitting down."
I smiled. "Why?"
"Because I would smack your ass if you weren't."
I gasped and pinched the arms that were around me.
"What the hell is this?" Bronagh asked Alec and me.
I didn't know what to say so I kept my mouth shut, Alec on the other hand didn't have the same problem.
"Keela is my girlfriend."
Bronagh blinked in confusion then looked over her shoulder to Dominic when he came up behind her.
"Alec said he has a girlfriend. I think he is sick."
Dominic smiled. "Keela is his girlfriend."
Bronagh brows furrowed as she looked back in our direction.
"I don't understand... you were single when I left the house this mornin'."
Dominic laughed as he put his arms around Bronagh's waist. "This just happened thirty minutes ago."
"It was instant love, Bronagh. She took my breath away, I had to make her mine."
I rolled my eyes at Mr. Dramatic behind me and focused on Bronagh as I said, "We're fake datin', Bronagh."
"I'm sorry, you're what?" she asked.
I chuckled. "Sit down and I'll explain."
Bronagh did as asked and for the next ten minutes I explained everything to her about Jason, Micah, and my situation with them and how I needed Alec's help.
"That's messed up," Bronagh said when I finished speaking.
I laughed. "That's one way of puttin' it."
Bronagh looked to Alec who was now sitting next to me. "How the hell are you gonna pull off bein' someone's fella? You're the biggest slut I know."
I looked away from Alec so he wouldn't see me smile.
"Have a little faith, bee. I'll treat Keela like the queen she is."
I rolled my eyes at the same time Bronagh rolled hers and Dominic found it funny.
"Two words, bro - good luck."
Myself and Bronagh smiled as Alec waved Nico off. "I've got this, how hard can being a boyfriend be?"
I looked to him in awe. "You've really never been someone's boyfriend before?"
Alec scratched his neck. "No... work always got in the way of potential relationships."
What did that mean?
"I don't understand-"
"Keela, do you wanna come out back with me? It's roastin' in here."
I looked to Bronagh when she spoke and nodded my head because it was really warm in the kitchen.
Alec leaned away from me when I got up and went out to the back with Bronagh and I laughed when Tyson waddled out behind us. I was about to close the backdoor when I glanced up and froze when I found both Nico and Alec smiling at Bronagh and myself.
