Alex chuckled a bit at Jacob's reaction to his comment, shaking his head a bit. "Oh come on Jacob, you know I'm just kidding. You're every bit as attractive as me. And twice as good at telling a good tale," he said, trying to lift his brother's spirits before turning his attention back to their guests. "Nice to meet you too," he finally replied, but before he continued, his older brother  cut him off with a smack to the head.<br/><br/>Tensing up a bit, he let out an annoyed breath before turning to Mike, stepping to the side so he was out of the path of the two entering. "I'm sorry, but I just got to the door three seconds ago. Remind me to boot you in the arse next time you answer the door and take a moment to greet the person," he said with a sarcastic tone. Mike was a good guy most of the time, but when he saw an attractive girl, he usually tried to give what he considered a good impression. Of course, this usually came at the detriment to Alex's head or ego. All in all, he couldn't complain though. Mike still watched his back when Alex needed the help, and that was something not all older brothers could say.<br/><br/>"So, while Jacob goes to get our parents, anyone want a drink? I'm sure I could find whatever you could want in the fridge," he asked, heading towards the kitchen slowly so everyone could tell him what they wanted if they did want anything.
