Four

The first whole week was our busiest. We ventured out throughout the island, sightseeing, visiting the Oahu Circle Island in Waikiki, the Pearl Harbor memorial, and the Dole plantation, where they have the tastiest Dole ice cream.

Other activities on the list were going to the Kualoa Ranch with a two-hour submarine tour of Atlantis, an ATV ride for a Raptor Tour where Jurassic Park was filmed, and we did parasailing. Then yesterday, we all had dinner at Chief's Luau, where food and a Hula show were presented. I've seen Luaus, but nothing like this. We had a blast the first five days of our vacation, except for the constant argument between Jordan and Ares. No matter where we go, the fighting won't stop.

Today, before we visit Rex and his brother's hometown, we snorkel with dolphins and sea turtles at Oahu Dolphin Watch Snorkeling, including a hula show and water activities. We booked the whole boat just for my family. We had lots of fun, and the boys kept driving while Terry and Effie snorkeled and swam with dolphins and sea turtles. I, Lily, and Claire all lay on the chairs, having a sunbath. Everyone was enjoying themselves except for two people.

"Jordan, give me that phone!" Ares bellowed and chased after Jordan.

God! They are like children, always arguing and ruining the parents' relaxing time.

When am I going to catch a break?

I pull my sunglasses and sigh as Jo sticks her tongue out at Ares. "Why? It's my phone. I can do whatever I want with it. I mean, you should see your face when that dolphin-"

"Shut up!" Ares's face went red until that's when I noticed he had a sword around his waist, looking mad as hell

"Ace, what the hell is it now?" I asked, irritated and exhausted from their fighting.

"Tell that bitch to hand me her phone."

"Hey, language," I scolded him, then shifted my body to look at Jordan. "Jo, what did you do?"

She was chuckling like a menacing child who had pulled a prank. "I have no clue. I took pictures of this beautiful scenery when I saw something interesting."

"Interesting?" Ares scoffed and watched his nostrils flare. "She took a picture of me when that fish pulled my swim pants and swam like hell. I had to borrow Effie's Hawaiian cloth to cover myself, and this bitch took a picture of me."

"A dolphin is not a fish. It's a mammal, you idiot," Jordan continues to laugh, which makes Claire, Lilly, and me sigh. This fight keeps getting worse every second.

"I know it's a dolphin," Ares argues in his defense.

"Sure you do," Jordan rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Anyways, it's cute that you have such artwork on your ass."

"What is it?" Lily asks curiously.

Ares grunts at Lily's curious, piqued question.

Jordan leans and hands her phone to Lily. Upon glancing at the picture, she pulls the phone away and hides her face with a towel.

"Lily, what is it?" Claire wonders. Lily gestured to glance at the picture as Claire took a look. She, too, covers her mouth.

"Thea," Claire snorted. "You've got to see this."

"Thea!" Ares cried out, almost had my heart jump out. "Don't look."

I grab the phone. "Why are you being uptight? It's just a tattoo."

"But you will be looking at my ass," he turns to hide the embarrassment.

"When mom and dad were busy, who else cleaned your ass when you were a baby?"

"Thea!" My brother grits his teeth.

I heard a few giggles from the girls, which made Ares fume. Ignoring his death glare, I glanced down and furrowed my brows to squint my eyes. With two fingers, I enlarged the picture to the point where Lily and Claire hid their faces. They were preventing themselves from laughing. I pinched my lips and held in my laughter.

I almost choked, yet remained calm even though I wanted to laugh hard. "Ares, is this what I think it is?"

"Thea, let me explain," he says, licking his lips and sighing. "I was drunk-"

"Of course, you were drunk. Always blaming alcohol," I say with a smirk.

"And you know Stacy, her birthday was last month, and I joined the guys; they dared me to play beer pong, but the beer was mixed with other shit to make it stronger and harder to throw the ball in the cup. Afterward, they gave me a tattoo on my ass, and I just picked a random design." He scratched his head in frustration and embarrassment as he explained.

"So you picked Hello Kitty to be painted on your ass?"

It was silent for a second when Ares couldn't answer us, but he only showed how annoyed he was. That's until Claire, Lily, and I laughed. We couldn't hold back our laughter. Jordan joined in, making it harder to ease Ares when he was on the verge of throwing a tantrum.

"What's so funny?" Effie and Terry came out of swimming with the dolphins. "Ares, why do you have my sorong?"

"Because he's ashamed of himself," Jordan taunted. The laughter died as I reached and threw a towel at my sister.

"Ashamed? Did you pee in the ocean?" Terry jokes as she wipes herself all over her body. I'm so proud of her for wearing a two-piece bikini after being pressured by the girls and me. Even with four-pack abs visible to the eyes and a light muscular body, Terry looks hot.

"No, but I got something even better," Jordan held up her phone.

"Jo!" Ares quickly grabbed Jordan and hauled her like a sack of potatoes. Jordan struggled to break free from my brother's grasp but wouldn't budge. She wailed and hit his bare back, wondering if that would worsen the situation since he had just come out of the water. He charged off, carrying Jordan, and went to the cabin.

"What was that about?" Effie asked. She dried her face while she and Terry were curious.

Lily, Claire, and I, three witnesses, had shared a look and then again burst out laughing like a pack of hyenas.

Rex and the boys were out of the water as they did. I was staring at Rex and his fine ass body, drenched. I squeezed my legs tightly, watching my fiancé look sexy. My whole body is quivering, wanting to ravish that man's body of mine.

"Oh my god," I wasn't the only one looking at their man like a full-course meal.

I looked at the girls as they were eye fucking their man. I shake my head and laugh a little.

"What's so funny?" Rex approached and planted a kiss on my lips. He grabbed a seat and sat beside me, still drying himself off.

"Oh, nothing," I told them, smiling. I know it would pique his interest as I felt the warmth of his breath against my ear.

"I saw you. You were looking at me," he whispers.

I turn to look at him and reach to touch his face. "Just admiring God's work of art. Besides, is it wrong for your future wife to look at her future husband?"

Rex takes my hand and kisses it. "No, but maybe tonight you can admire my body more in bed," he wiggles his brows, making me blush and my heart race.

I shoved him lightly because I was embarrassed that Rex would say such a thing to everyone here. Looking over my shoulders, the girls were with their men in private. They were probably thinking of the same thing as Rex and me.

"Ares, you are a piece of shit, you know that!"

Jordan's voice boomed from inside the cabin and had everyone's attention.

"I get why Duke Spencer would date a girl like you; you and he share something in common," Ares argues.

"Oh yeah, and what is that?"

"What the hell is going on?" Logan asks everyone.

"There was a bit of an argument between the two," Terry responded, crossing her arms. Seth stands behind her, arms around her waist and chin resting on her shoulder, while being petted like a dog. Seth seems happy to be treated like that. Well, whatever makes him happy. I feel a bit sorry for him.

"Again?" Liam groans. "The arguing is nonstop, and on our second vacation day. Look, Thea, Effie, no offense, but your brother needs to go to anger management."

"I feel you, bro," Seth spoke out. "But not only him but Jo needs in need of help."

"Hey, Jo isn't that crazy," Effie declared in defense. "She just-" I cleared my throat, stopping my sister from speaking more.

"Jo is an independent woman, and she can be with whoever she wants," I remove my sunglasses and stand up. "I don't know why Ares is acting like a child who doesn't like changes, but he should accept that Jordan has found someone she likes."

I rub my head until the noises coming from the cabin sound series.

"Shit, are they fighting in there?" Seth asks.

"Ah," Effie touched my arm, worried. "I know Kuya has a temper, but this fight lasted five days. If Jo says something to piss him off, I think he will hurt her."

Effie had a point. Jordan can handle things like a hit from a boy, but he's not just any boy. He's my brother, and I'm worried Ares will finally snap.

"Get off of me!" Jordan cried. "I said, let go of me!"

"Fuck! Ares, I swear if you hurt Jo. You will be swimming with the dolphins while they laugh at your Hello Kitty tattoo on your ass. Enough is enough, and this was supposed to be my engagement vacation, so you two better stop this right now!" I stomp toward the boat's cabin, vent my anger, yank the open door, and freeze. My mind was blank, and my eyes fluttered at the scene as the words came out from each pause. "Oh. My. God!"
