Billionaires Meet Millionaire (A Steamy Romance) by Jason Vasha

locked on his brothers.
     
    "You
have fun with her then, bro." Daniel said neutrally. Even his usual
malice didn't ring through. His eyes didn't seem to convey anything
either. Daniel broke the eye contact as he leant into Sarah to give
her a small peck on her cheek. Niall was relieved for it. He was
unnerved by his brother's reaction and it concerned him that he was
unnerved. It had a while since he had been unable to read his
brother.
     
    "Do
think you could give me hand with my Calculus later on Niall?"
Chris asked.
     
    Niall had forgotten about Chris being there. Chris wasn't too bad
a guy. He was one of the old pack. There had been a time when Niall
considered him a friend and it was out of respect for this
friendship that he occasionally or rather regularly helped him out
with calculus homework. Chris never had been the brightest, due to
some kind of oxygen lack at birth.
     
    "Sure."
Niall said and with that a silence settled over the kitchen table
as they finished their dinners. As promised Niall helped Chris out.
It was shortly after ten when they had finished. Chris apparently
had been saving up for a while.
     
    Niall was lying on bed lazily zapping through television while
actually thinking about Olta. Daniel bounced on his door. Niall
leaped up; thankfully he had long ago learned the advantages of
keeping his room locked.
     
    "Niall,
out now!" Daniel called in his icy cruel voice from the other
side.
     
    "What do
you want?" Niall called back forcing his voice to be lighter than
he actually felt. Niall decided he didn't feel like dancing tonight
and he fell back on his bed.
     
    "I want to
talk to you, now" The volume had gone down but the cold malevolence
was still there.
     
    "How
about, no!" Niall called back. He knew he was going to regret this
but right now he didn't want anything to do with his brother. Then
it occurred to him however that it might have something to with
Olta and he decided to swallow his pride.
     
    Niall opened his door. He knew Daniel would be waiting in the
hallway. They had been through this before. And surely enough
Daniel was there leaning comfortably against the opposite wall.
Niall matched his pose.
     
    "And I
didn't even have to call again. You do know you're a spineless
bastard, don't you?" Daniel smirked without amusement, shaking his
head. Niall was unfazed by his words; it was all part of the
dance.
     
    "I've heard it
before. You had something you wanted to say to me?" He said
nonchalantly.
     
    "Yeah,
I'd really like for you to never ever speak of my judgments on
other women when Sarah or any other future significant others are
present." Daniel didn't move. His eyes said it all. They held same
look as when he had checked Olta out in Geography. But then again
Niall of course was and always had been his brother's 'special
case'.
     
    "Sure,
whatever." Niall shrugged and turned back into his room. He closed
the door quite leisurely but locked it quickly. As he readied
himself for bed his mind was on Olta again and unfortunately his
brother too. His behaviour really did disconcert him. As he pulled
the covers over himself he realized he hadn't even offered Olta a
ride for the next morning. If he showed up at eight he could catch
her by surprise. Smiling at the thought of her surprised face he
slowly drifted to sleep.
     

C hapter Eight
     
    Walking down the stairs Olta could hear her mother and sister
chatting merrily in the kitchen. Olta didn't feel that merrily. She
felt like she had major hang over. When her alarm clock had so
crudely awoken her it slowly dawned on her that she was dressed in
her t-shirt and underwear from the day before. She had figured her
mother had undressed her but she no memory of it.
     
    In the
shower she had had flashbacks of her dreams. It had been some weird
and unsettling jumble of almost everyone she knew and events she
hoped wouldn't relive anymore. She had been back in Tirana and her
father, Niall, her brother, Daniel and some old friends
