Kaden

I look at myself in the mirror one last time.  I am beyond nervous as I grab my wallet and phone.  I haven’t been this nervous since I was in high school.  Ironically it had to do with Kylynn or Tianya at the time.  I had seen a picture of the two of them that one of my friends had on his phone.  How he got it and where he took it, I still don’t know, but I thought they were both beautiful.  This was before the rock star thing and their dyed hair, tattoos, and body piercings.  I had planned on finding them and asking both of them out.

I figured that one of them would at least say yes.  If Alek or Brent knew about this, they would laugh at or hit me; I'm not sure which reaction I would get.  I have no reason to be nervous, yet I am.  I unlock my car and slide into the driver's seat.  I click the button, shut the garage, and drive toward the address Everly sent me earlier today.  I am fully aware that I have my work cut out for me when it comes to her, but I don’t care.  Something about this woman makes me want to build something with her.  I was a little surprised when I pulled up to the house.  I was expecting more.  I climb out of my car and walk up to her door.  I stop breathing when she opens the door.  Everly stands there in a dress that matches her bright baby-blue eyes perfectly.  She finished the look with black thigh-high boots.  She has left her gorgeous red hair down with soft curls in it.  Damn, this woman is beautiful.

“The dress is to much isn’t it?”  She asks cautiously. 

“Litte sprite the dress is perfect.”  I tell her.

I lace our hands together as she locks her door.  I open the car door for her, and she slides into the seat.  After shutting her door, I walk around to my side and climb behind the wheel.  I slip my hand back into hers as I drive to the restaurant.  I am taking her to a new upscale cafe.  It specializes in healthier meals, so no greasy food.  She is still battling her stomach bug, so I figured a place like this would be perfect.  I hear her gasp when we pull up to the restaurant.  I step out of the car and walk to her side.  I open the door and offer her my hand, which she takes as she climbs out.  I hand the keys to the valet and slip my arm around her dainty waist.  She fits perfectly against my side as we walk into the restaurant.  

“Don’t pay attention to them.  They are just jealous that I am here with the most beautiful woman in this place.”  I whisper in her ear.

I was more than aware of the looks the other women in the place were giving her.  None of them compared to Everly, though.  They were just jealous that I had her on my arm.  She is the only one I want on my arm.  We have not told them about our coming to the family barbecue this Sunday.  We figured it would be a surprise.  I am sure they will have much to say to their family and us when we show up.  I know that Mom and Dad are coming.  Brent’s parents and his younger brother are attending, and Alek, his patent, and his younger brothers are also coming.  Lance’s parents are also coming, as is his younger sister.  I already know that Brent’s younger brother Riley, Alek’s fraternal twin brothers Sam and Xavier, and Lance’s younger sister Bethany will shit their pants when Kylynn and Tianya appear.  

“What is so funny?”  Everly asks.

“Just thinking of something that is going to happen this weekend.”  I answer.

“Ok, and this place is amazing.  We have been wanting to come here since we heard it opened.  Tianya and Kylynn are going to be so damn jealous when I tell them where you took me.”  Everly says.

“Speaking of that do you have any idea what is going on with Alek and Tianya or Kylynn and Brent?”  I ask.

I watch as a smirk slides across her face.  Of course, she knows something.  I mean, those three are best friends.  I lean towards her as she takes a drink of her water.  I was surprised that she only wanted water, but then I remembered she was still not feeling a hundred percent.  I swear her skin is glowing under the light in this place.  She looks so radiant. 

“ I know that Alek and Tianya are on their own date tonight.  He took her to Bella Luna since those two love their Mexican food.  I am not sure what is going on with Kylynn and Brent.  I know they have been talking a lot but I am inclined to think something is happening since he showed up today with lunch for the two of them.  I do know that Kylynn had no idea he was coming so I am guessing he did it to surprise her.  I know she is a lot more cautious than Tianya and I am not sure why.  Everyone thinks it has to do with her ex Chase but I think there is something else behind why she is so cautious about getting into a relationship.”  Everly admitted.

I knew that bastard was up to something when he said he needed to take care of something.  Brent has never been good at lying and is terrible at poker.  We had already been told about Kylynn's ex, but it sounds like there is more to it than just that asshole.  I wonder if the guys know anything else.   Alek said nothing about having a date tonight, but I felt he had asked her out.  I start chuckling after she tells me this.  She even starts laughing.  I love her laugh.  The food is good, and our conversation flows excellently throughout the date.  I paid the bill and left the restaurant the way we came in, with my arm wrapped around her waist.  The valet opened the doors to the car for the both of us, and I slipped my hand in hers as I drove off.

“I had a great time tonight.”  Everly said.

“I glad to know that.  I hope that means that you will go on a second with me.”  I comment.

“I would like that a lot Kaden.”  She whispers.

Hearing her whisper my name takes me back to that night.  She squeaks when I grab her luscious hips and pull her to me.  Her hands land on my chest as I look into her stunning eyes.  I dip my head and touch my lips to hers as my arms wrap around her.  I want her as close to me as possible.  Her arms wind around my neck as I deepen the kiss.  I kiss along her jaw and down her neck. 

“Kaden.”  She moans softly.

I kiss the spot at the base of her neck and lightly bite it.  Her arms tighten around me, and that fuels my fire further.  I continue sucking on her neck, knowing I am leaving a mark.  Not that I care since everyone will know that she is mine.  I finally pull myself away from her.  She looks at me with hooded eyes, and I want nothing more than to take her into her house and repeat that night, but I don’t.  I place another kiss on her lips as I take a step back.

“I’ll call you in the morning my little sprite.” I tell her.

“Ok have a good night Kaden.”  She says softly.

Hearing her say my name has me close to turning around and continuing where we just left off, but I force myself to get into my car as she stands there watching.  She waves at me as I drive off.  I let out a breath as I drive back to my house.  As I lay on my bed, I can’t get the feeling of her in my arms again out of my mind. There is something different about her, though.  Her curves seem to have filled out more, and I swear her tits are larger than before.  I don't know what it means, but I swear her body has changed since our last time together. 

“Well how was the date last night?”  Lance asked.

I was going to take Everly to breakfast, but she had something she needed to do with the girls, so I texted the guys and told them to meet me at our favorite cafe.  I knew they wouldn’t pass that up, so here we are.

“It was perfect.  I could ask Alek the samething.”  I answer.

We all look at Alek, and he smirks at us.  I know he isn’t shy about anything, so he doesn’t care about being put on the spot.

“My date with Tianya went great.  We already have our second and third  scheduled next week.”  He announces. 

“Damn brother you work fast.”  Lance states.

“The moment she walked into that room for our meeting I knew that there was no way in hell I was letting any other guy have a chance.  Everything in me told me that she was mine so I went after what I wanted.”  Alek replies. 

I pat him on the back.  Good for him. He has always been the go-getter of our bunch.  None of us backs down from getting something we want, but Alek has always jumped in headfirst and taken what he wants.  Brent asks if we are ready for tomorrow, and we all say yes.  We all want to meet their family to get them on our side.  Something still bothers me about Everly’s family, but I can’t put my finger on it.  Drew texted me, telling me we would be there around 10 in the morning.  He thought getting to know all the fathers, uncles, and brothers would be perfect.

I can tell Alek and Brent are mildly concerned, but I don’t think they have anything to worry about.  After breakfast, Alek and I head to Mom and Dad’s to see what is happening.  I am sure Uncle Greg and Aunt Lisa will be there.  Alek’s dad and mine are brothers, even if no one believes we are cousins.  My mother is African American, and I got her light clear green eyes and skin tone.  I definitely got my height from Dad.  I think I am a good mix of both my parents.  I know they wanted more children, but for reasons unknown, they could never.  I asked why they never adopted, and they said they just never thought about it but did tell me they felt terrible that I was an only child.  I told them I had Alek and the others, so I never felt alone.  I wanted a younger sibling for a while, but I never said anything to either.  It really didn't bother me at all.  As I said, I had Alek, Brent, and Lance, so I wasn't alone.  Then they all had siblings, so there was that.  They always come over on Saturday to visit.  I can’t wait for tomorrow.  I get to meet their family, and I get to see Everly again.
