"Thank you" I mutter as he kept my bags down and looked up at me. "I ordered new sheets for you, I hope you like it," He said walking closer and I put my hands in front of me.
"Thank you so much," I said. He smiled. I gasp as he rests his hand on the wall behind me and leaned in. "Anything you need, just let me know." I nodded looking down at the ground. I felt my legs give out and he walked out, But I jumped as he re-entered.
"Dinner will be ready soon. Come down ya" I nodded and he gave me a cheeky smile before closing the door and leaving me alone.
I took a hot shower wearing my long black dress with half sleeves and drying my hair. There was a knock on my door and I gulp walking towards the door.
"Hey sweetie, it's me" I sigh opening the door immediately.
Emma walked in and looked around and smiled. "I hope you like it" I smiled. "I really like it." She nodded. "Oh, The dinner is ready and Alex is home. Theo will be here soon. Come down ya" I nodded as she walked out.
I was thinking how small her other kids were when the thought of her having two other kids crossed my mind. That's why she had another house just for them. So Kaden and Rex took care of the other two kids?
I walked down the stairs to see someone in the kitchen with his back to me. I thought he was Rex because of his height. I didn't see anyone in the living room so I opened my mouth to question him when he turned around, making me startled at another different face. He stared at me and we stood quietly for about a minute when he finally spoke.
"And who might you be, in our house?" He asked walking near and I stepped back a little.
"Oh, I am staying here?" I questioned myself and he rose his eyebrows.
"So you one of the girlfriends of my brother?" He asked and I frantically shook my head waving my hand back and forth.
"No no, I am-" He widens his eyes leaning on the island and smirking at me.
"Did my brother rent out a room or something? Cause if you don't have a boyfriend-" I gulp as he walked near me. I kept stepping back, "I can certainly take you on a date" Before I knew it I bumped into a hard chest which made him straighten his back and look at someone behind me.
"Rex" I whispered as I turned around to look.
"Oh, it's you-" Rex gave him a foul face and rolled his eyes. "Don't try to hit on her, she is the girl Emma took in. Unfortunately staying with us for a while. I hope not more than a month" I bite my lip as Rex walked away and grabbed a glass of water.
"What! Woah, no one told me you were so cute. Primrose ya? I heard from mom. Nice to meet you babe" I was suddenly pulled in a big tight hug. I moan in pain as he lets go and smiles at me. His big frame looming over me like a cupboard.
I noticed he had really big brown eyes, His was the shade of strawberry blond. But in a natural way.
"I am Alex. You can call me whatever you like-" I smiled at his sweet voice and his nice greeting until he grabbed my chin pulling me to look at him.
"Or you can call me master" I just froze with my stomach twisting in knots as he laughed letting me go.
"Oh gosh, you must be really innocent. I can see your blush so easily" I covered my cheeks with my hands. "Hey, where are mom and Kaden?" Alex turned around and grabbed Rex's attention as he stood there on his phone.
"We are having dinner in the backyard" Rex muttered and Alex grabbed my hand and rushed me out the house to the backyard. It was really simple and pretty. There were fairy lights surrounding the backspace with a small table in the middle. I stared at the pretty setting and Alex leaned beside me.
His lips touched my ear making me move back but he rests his hand on my back.
"I see you like the setting, Me and Kaden did that" I nodded.
"It's very pretty," I said. "Hey Rosie, We are waiting for Theo and then we can eat together"
I honestly thought she would have kids by the age of 10 or 15. Because she was young. Only 32, I wondered how old Alex was. Since Rex and Kaden were my age. Almost my age.
We had set all the plates and food and sat down to talk to wait for Theo. He was running late because of traffic.
"So, I know you guys already have introduced yourselves to her, But Alex works as an editor and designs things, which I don't understand. He is just two years older than you guys." I nodded as Alex smiled.
"Hey, sorry I am late" We heard a rough voice and I look behind to see a very handsome man. He had his blazer in his hand with his tie and three-button of his shirt undone. He ran his hand through his hair dropping his stuff on the couch inside and walked out.
Emma hugged him as he sat down beside her.
"Primrose. This is Theo, my first son. And this is Primrose, I told u guys about." he looked at me and nodded. I gave him a soft smile before looking down.
"Can we just eat and leave now" Emma sighs at Rex and everyone starts eating.
"You got stuck in traffic?" Theo nodded. I figured he was the quiet type. He was very muscular. More than Alex and Rex. A very visible tattoo ran from his neck and disappeared in his shirt but I saw its end at his forearm when he folded his sleeves back. He had jet black hair, I saw his black eyes when he nodded at me.
"I hope you guys don't give her a hard time." she smiled.
We all went to sleep and Emma slept with me in my bed since I didn't want her sleeping on the couch that night.
I smiled as she brushed her hair and looked at me. I bite my lip and hold my tears back. But she saw through me.
"Hey, I will visit when I can. My boys will take care of you. And, I just wanna tell you one thing, if your mother calls you and asks you to meet again, You can go meet her. But just take someone with you okay? A friend or one of them" I nodded as she ran her hands on my hair.
"And always be with one of them when you go out. Don't go alone. They all are comfortable with taking you out whenever you want, we talked about it. And if John comes. I want you to call me" I nodded.
"I love you guys." She said waving and getting in her car as we watched her leave.
"Well, I gotta leave for work, So do you want me to drop you-" Before he finished Kaden stopped him.
"I think I can take her to our uni," Alex smirked. "I don't mind taking her, You will make her late" Kaden scoffs.
"Clearly you don't remember how late you are getting for work yourself" I blink at them as they argue. When Rex walked into the living room and looked at us.
"Alex, I am taking the bike" Alex snapped his head at Rex.
"The fuck? Why don't you go with your friend like always? Its mine" Rex rolled his eyes.
After ten minutes of arguing I was at the back seat of Kaden's car with Rex in shotgun. I didn't speak much to them, but I guess I could warm up to them soon.
Theo had early work hours sometimes and had to leave early today.
It was weird getting out of Kaden's car as all the girls and his friends watched in confusion.
I put the plates on the dinner table and look at the clock. "We should eat up, Theo may be working late," Kaden said and I nodded. The week had gone by very fast, I was starting to get comfortable in my room. Although Kaden insisted he and the others do work around the house, I begged him to let me him, After all, I was staying at their house without anything to give back. He finally gave in, My job was to prepare dinner with him and occasionally mop the house. I did all the work back at Emma's apartment, So this had become my habit. I set the glass filled with water and look at Alex who walked in through the door. I smiled, He was the sweetest out of all four. Kaden was nice and kind. But he was known for his flirty ways of talking. "Hello, Welcome home Alex," I said looking at him as he just stared at me with a neutral face, so void of emotion that I thought I did something wrong. "Um-"I dragged my voice as Kaden walked in the kitchen to grab some things. "Hey-"He called, walk
That morning I woke and realized I snuggled in his body because the cold wind gave me shivers. I do not remember who I hug so tight till he softly placed me back on the bed and covered me with the sheets. I did remember him walking to the door and softly closing it behind him. I did remember seeing black ink on his back. I just didn't think It was real. I was so comfortable. That was the first time I felt warm and cozy while sleeping in the coming monsoon season. I took it and realized I was supposed to buy some things for myself. I usually used what Emma did. But now I only had a bar of soap and a bottle of lotion which was running out of. I sat down on the small chair near my window and brushed my hair while remembering and writing down the things I will need. I was happy to have a job online for which I didn't need to go out and work for specific hours every weekend. Emma never let me pay for stuff I bought, So I had so much money saved up. I look at my hands and rubbed my thum
I grabbed a few things while Alex was in another store get some of those things. He was only gone for a few minutes, so I decided to grab some chocolates and other stuff and walked to the counter to pay when Alex walked in. "Oh, you done?" I nodded looking in my basket as we waited for the lady in front of us to be done. "What did you buy?" I asked as the guy scanned my items. He looked at his bags and lifted them up to show some fruits and vegetables. I was about to take out my wallet when he passed his card to the cashier. I tried to stop him but the guy already accepted it. "Oh no You don't have to, I can pay" Alex just smiled. I frowned not liking that and he grabbed my bag gesturing me to walk. "You didn't have to. Thank you" He nodded softly. I was about to grab my bag when he jerked his hand away. "It's alright baby, I got it," He said opening the car door and putting it in the back seat. "Thank you," I said after we got in. "You don't have to say thank you." I tried very
I was holding my book to my chest covering the very evident stain which was splattered across my top right above my bust. I was annoyed at myself as I hastily opened my locker and searched for that one top I keep for emergencies. The sudden force of a heavy back coiled with my back making me fall ahead with my stomach colliding with the end of the locker. I wince looking back and suddenly the entire hall which was filled with students became quiet. My mouth sucked in a sharp breath as I see Kaden. I felt my heart stop as he hands his friends stared at me. I wanted to just lock myself in the locker as he realized he bumped into me. "Uh-" He was about to talk when I grabbed my shirt slammed shut the locker door and turned towards the end of the hall and bolted, or I can say I tried. Before I could leave that popular group of friends I was grabbed by my hand so hard, I basically flew back into his chest. I let out a slight shriek as I bumped into him my hand catching the book I held
I look at the small house in front of me with my bag in my hand as Emma parked her car in the driveway before taking my other bag and smiling at me as she walked towards me. "Well, here we are," She said. "I hope you like your room. I came here last week to prepare it for you" I stare at her as she opened the door and walked in while I stood there, very nervous. And very scared. I wondered how her kids were for the last five days since she decided to let me live with them, and I was completely fine with it. Because she was the nicest person I met in my life. Someone who took me in my bad times. As soon as I stepped in I saw a familiar-looking back which made me freeze right at the door. My legs almost gave in as he turned around and looked right into my eyes. But he didn't seem surprised. "Oh, there you are. Welcome home, Rosie." Kaden greeted. [A year ago]"What did you do!" I flinch as I stood at the end of the stairs staring at her, her eyes glaring at her husband as I felt t
