The fact of the matter was that, whatever Eli and Heather seemed to have for each other, he knew it wasn't going to last. He knew his brother more than anyone else did. The two of them were, to the surprise of many, twins. It's crazy when you look at the two of them. The fact often escapes Alexandros' short-term memory because he and his brother are so different than each other. Not like he and Ava are. The brother and sister have their distinctive differences, sure, but there's an underlying trait among the two that doesn't make them doubt they are truly each other's sibling. And yet, when Alexandros thinks about Eli, he has a tough time believing that's his brother. From Eli's wild side - which is nothing like Alexandros' wild side. In Alex's case, he participates in sexual and night racing endeavors. In Eli's case, he has anything from sex to drugs in his nightly errands. That's not even including tonight's games he played with Alex and Audrey. It didn't work, of course, but that doesn't completely excuse how Eli found joy in ruffling his brother's feathers. Rubbing his temples, Alex tried to refocus his efforts on something higher up on his priority list. That brought him to Audrey's gaze. He spent a long moment smiling at her. Thinking about her body was more interesting than stressing about his differences with Elijah. Though, his hopes and dreams of keeping his blue stones on Audrey were cut short when he heard the very disappointing words from Ava. [color=mediumturquoise]"Hey, buttmunch! We're leaving. Say your goodbyes and get your ass to the car."[/color] Alexandros squinted at a few things: the possibility of not staying, the name that Ava called him, and just how he [i]really[/i] wanted to tackle the sequel of what he and Audrey were doing before dinner. And then he was hit with an overwhelmingly good idea - well, good for him and bad in every other way. [color=dodgerblue]"Actually, I'm going to stay a bit longer."[/color] [color=mediumturquoise]"I don't think mom will like that--"[/color] [color=9966cc]"Let him stay if he wants."[/color] Adrianna surprised both Alex and Ava by appearing behind them. [color=9966cc]"You've proven yourself to be trustworthy, Alex. Just don't stay out too late. I'm sure you know about the uber app?"[/color] Alexandros nodded. [color=9966cc]"Then enjoy your extended stay." [/color] Alexandros wasn't exactly sure what just happened, but he caught a few things that set him off, causing his legs to slightly shake. As Ava rolled her eyes and left behind their mother, Alexandros' eyes went back to Audrey's. [color=dodgerblue]"I don't frighten easy, but my mother's tone just now is enough to give any man the shivers."[/color] Alexandros admitted openly, [color=dodgerblue]"I hope she doesn't murder them all in their sleep.."[/color] [/indent][/indent][/color]
