Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

CELINE’S POV

I awoke the following morning to the sound of a loud knock on the door, and I

was still feeling tired at the time…. so, I grumbled in response. I checked the

time on my phone, with my eyes only half–opened, it said was already eight

o’clock in the morning. I let out another groan as I laid down my phone and

pulled the sheets over my head to shield my face from the sunlight.

The night before, when I knew that remaining in the room would just hasten

my plunge into hell… I spent more than two hours with Jake in the restaurant,

just eating, laughing, and getting to know each other better.

When I finally made it back to the room, it was already three in the morning…

and Sebastian had, of course, already left. Jake continued to wake me up

with his loud knocks despite the fact that I had only gotten a few hours of

fitful sleep.

“Celine, wake up!” I heard him say, followed by a resounding pounding at my

door.

“Ugh!” I muttered as I yanked the quilt off of my face, my limbs thrashing in

protest, and I was beyond fatigued to find the words to describe how I felt. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The persistent pounding of his heavy blows was more than sufficient to

render my head numb in response to the pressure they applied. I was furious

as I yanked the blanket away from my body, stood up, and set my bare feet

down on the carpeted floor. I then marched in the direction of the door and

yanked it open.

“Will you shut up for a minute?” I snapped as soon as I opened the door. “My

god…. do you have any idea what time did I sleep last night?”

My hair was a mess, and I was still drooling as I peered with tired eyes at the

person who’s disturbing my sleep.

“Celine, you are just the cutest thing ever when you wake up like this…” Jake

teased me instead and laughed out loud. I rolled my eyes as I spun on my

heels and plopped down on the bed with my face first, burying in the pillow.

“Hey! You need to prepare yourself ready. Everyone else is gathered in the

beach right now!”

The bed sagged as he sat next to me, his hand reached out to slightly shake

my shoulders. I groaned, pushing his hand away.

“Oh, c’mon!” his hand was there on my head this time, ruffling my already

messy hair. “I’ve prepared a yellow swimsuit for you. It’s your favorite color…

right?”

4 sighed as I rolled over so that I could face Jake but my eyes were still shut.

“Five more minutes…”

“You have to get up now or I’ll carry you to the bathroom?” I jumped out of

bed as soon as I heard the threat, and I ran as fast as I could to the

bathroom. As I slammed the door shut with a resounding bang, I could still

make out Jake’s hearty chuckle.

I had just finished taking care of my business in the bathroom, which

included brushing my teeth and washing my face, and when I emerged, i

was surprised to see Jake lying down on the bed.

“Where are we going?” I inquired as I opened the closet door in search of an

article of clothing to wear. Jake was the one who purchased all of these

items of apparel, and they all comprise of seductive ensembles and summer

dresses.

“We’re going to explore today, Celine.” he responded as he rolled to his side

to watch me, his palm was pressed against his ear. “There’s an isolated

island near here. It’s a little far away so we’re going to use my yacht. And!

heard from other businessmen that the island was very ecological. We are

going to look into it to determine whether or not it is a good opportunity for

investment.”

Of course! When businessmen talk, they always think about investments,

businesses, money, and so on and so forth…

“The people travelling with us are all very interested in that island.” He went

on further. “A number of them are eager to secure a portion of it. You should

take a good look at it later. There are many animals in there, too!”

He continued to ramble on and on without stopping.

“Get out!” I exclaimed and he froze as he stared at me.

“What?” Jake, who had just been enthusiastically discussing his plans to

explore the island, was taken aback by my statements.

“I said, get out! I’m going to change clothes!” I took a look at myself and

asked, “You can’t allow me go out with you wearing a night robe, can you?”

“Oh…” he immediately sat up and scratched his nape. “I’ll wait for you

outside, then…” he smiled and sprinted out of my room.

After another half an hour, we got at the beach, and during that time, the girls

were muttering about how I was a sloth and how I was wasting the precious

time that I didn’t have.

As I walked past the group of girls, with Mia serving as the group’s leader, I

simply shrugged my shoulders and acted that I hadn’t heard what they had

to say.

There were three yachts lined up for us to board, but because two of thern

were already occupied with guests and visitors, I decided to board the yacht

that was the only one still empty.

Jake assisted me in getting in the yacht and as soon as we sat down, I

became aware of a loud voice corning from the direction of the harbor.
