Which brother should I choose

I looked at Matt's face then back to Anton's face. They were standing there, glaring at each other. It was like a laser eye contest, and they were trying to see who would be turned to ashes first. Little did they know, I was the one who was about to turn to the ashes out of shame.

I kissed Matt yesterday. I kissed Matt yesterday. I kissed... No use. How much I chant this thing in my mind, I still could not believe it was true. It was my first kiss and I was fucking drunk! I wasn't even properly remembering it. God, I really have issues. I should have felt bad about crossing professional lines and kissing one of my bosses, instead I was whining about not remembering my first kiss. I was incurable.

I stood up, went next to Mr. Anton and greeted Matt.

"Welcome, Mr. Alonzo." I said coolly. He smiled at me brightly. And melted my heart. I tried to keep it collected since I knew if I show any hint of emotion towards Matt, Mr. Anton would rip my heart out and feed it to the dogs.

"We were on our way out, Matt. Now if you excuse us..." He turned his back to him, and walked into the elevator that Matt just emptied. I walked after him, and took my place in the elevator next to him. To my surprise, Matt also followed us, squeezed me towards Mr. Anton, and took his place in the elevator, too.

Now I was sandwiched between two muscle-mountains. Matt's arm brushed my arm, so I stepped aside and this time my other arm touched Mr.Anton's arm. Matt took another step towards my side and made sure my arm was touching his. There was no room left between me and Mr.Anton too. And he was not budging over either. So now my two arms were trusted to the two muscular arms belonging to my bosses. I felt minuscule between these bodies and they had no intention to give me some room.

"Where do you think you are going?" Mr. Anton asked Matt.

"I am going with you." answered Matt.

"Why?"

"I am the co-CEO of this company Antonio! I have every right that you have. And besides it's a big agreement with Sanders, I want to make sure everything goes smoothly."

"You didn't make this connection but I did. So it's my duty to make sure everything goes smoothly. There is no need for you. Also, don't call me Antonio."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come now, Alice will start to think you hate me, brother. And two hands are better than one."

He turned his face to me and winked. I tried to keep my face straight but I bet I was turning pink immediately. I turned to Mr. Anton at the exact time to see a muscle on his jaw twitched by Matt's wink.

Finally our torturous elevator ride came to an end and I threw myself out first. Normally I was waiting Mr. Anton to go out first, but not today. Today I needed to get distant from them as soon as possible.

We went to the conference room that had been booked for us. We met our lawyers there. I settled myself to a far seat from lawyers, thinking the Alonzo brothers would sit opposite to the lawyers. I was right, Mr. Anton sat opposite to the lawyers, and looked at me. He patted the seat next to him, I knew what it meant, there was no need for him to say more.

I went to the seat that he pointed to, Matt was still standing up. As soon as I sat up, he came to my other side, and sat next to me. Mr. Anton sent him a stink eye, but he smirked widely in return. I was sandwiched between Alonzos again. I guess it was my new status, Alonzo sandwich. I kept my head low. I had zero intention to look at either of them during the meeting. So I kept my gaze straight and never raised my head from my laptop.

Meeting went normal, lawyers informed them about details that they agreed with Sanders. Some extra comments have been made by Matt, and everytime he suggested something, Mr.Anton disapproved. After a three-hour meeting, I was exhausted, hungry, and my neck was hurting from only looking in one direction. When Mr.Anton declared the end of the meeting, I jumped to my feet and went to the door. I wasn't off the hook though.

"Alice!" Matt called me. I turned to see a handsome smirk and a furious glare from the same direction. Two brothers standing side by side, were looking at me at the same time. Like day and night, they were different. But their features were so similar, I felt the bold and light terms were really perfect fit for them. Matt's messy brown hair was falling on his brows cascading his green eyes warmly while Anton's black hair slicked back was displaying his dark eyes more intimidatingly. "Don't call her Alice, we are working here." Mr. Anton grunted.

"It's lunch break, and I can call my assistant as I like."

"Temporary assistant."

"Who knows, maybe I can steal her from you." Matt teased, as facing his brother with a strange glint in his eyes.

"Try... I dare you." said Mr. Anton. Now his voice was low and husky with a murderous tone in it. He was keeping Matt's gaze, unyielding.

Matt opened his mouth to continue. But I had no intention to stay there and watch their dog fight. So I interrupted.

"If there is no need for me, can I return to my room for lunch break?"

Instantly Matt turned his head from his brother and came to my side in two long strides.

"Don't tell me you are planning to eat in your room? Not in this hotel. It's one of the most amazing hotels in the world, and you are spending your free time in a room? I cannot let that happen." He took my hand and pulled me to a direction gently.

"Come on. There is a wonderful A la carte restaurant making seafood and sushi."

Then I felt another tug from my other hand. There was no need for me to look to know who it was. But I looked anyway. Mr. Anton was pulling me from my other hand.

"Eating in your room would be more suitable because I need your assistance in half an hour. Go to our suite and wait for me there, we can eat together there."

My two hands were in two Alonzos, and they were glaring at each other like they were looking at their enemies. My heart wanted to be with Matt and have a nice lunch at ease and comfort he gives all the time. But my head known better, that Matt was only my temporary boss and when my time is up with him, I will be at the Mr. Anton's mercy. And going to my room could save me from so much glares and furious tantrums. So I chose the latter.

"I am going to our suite then." I said. "Thank you for the offer Mr. Alonzo, maybe next time." I replied to Matt and snatched my hands free from the two of them and turned my back instantly to leave there as soon as possible.

Mr. Anton did not come to have lunch with me. He just informed me with a text that he has some other businesses with partners and I shouldn't wait for him to eat, but he was strongly suggesting that I need to stay in our suite, and follow up the work from there. I knew he had no intention to spend time with me. He just wanted to snatch me from Matt. But I had no objection to staying in my room as well. I ordered room service and had a lovely meal. Then I went to the ocean scenic balcony and spread myself into a hammock style chair with my laptop. And I worked from there for the rest of the day.

As soon as our shift ended, my cell phone dinged. It was a message from Matt.

'The shift is over love. Wear your tiny bikini and come to the pool bar. I am waiting for you there."

Oh, I was in deep shit. I was still embarrassed from yesterday's events but a part of me wanted to go badly. And experience the same thing as sober this time. I knew it was crazy, and I shouldn't. But in ten minutes, I was wearing a damn bikini and was ready to go.

When I left my room to the lounge, my nightmare was sitting there coolly. He was still in his suit and he was still working with his laptop. He raised his head, and his eyes widened slightly. He took in my view from head to toe. "Where are you going?"

"To the pool." I said.

"I thought you won't go back there after yesterday."

"Well, I won't drink alcohol this time. But I still want to swim in my free time." I said.

"Wait for me to change then. I will escort you." He pushed back his chair to stand up. I raised my hand in the air to stop him. He halted and looked at my eyes piercingly. I mustered my whole courage and said,

"No need sir, I won't be alone. Mr.Matt will be there."

His eyes darkened, his brows dropped onto his eyes threateningly.

"Of course he will be," he said as clenching his teeth. I nodded hesitantly and went into the elevator. I pressed the close-doors button like ten times to make it close faster. I wanted to get free from the cage of his gaze as soon as possible. While the elevator doors closed, his penetrating gaze was still fixed on me.

I knew he wasn't happy about it, and I knew it would cost me dearly somehow.
