Kayden's POV “Full english breakfast for Jay and Dan” “thanks”, the boys say as Nova keeps two plates ladened with a few strips of bacon, two sunny side up eggs for Jay and scrambled eggs for Dan, tomatoes, fried mushrooms, three slices of fried bread and five sausages each. The boys are practically drooling and I don't blame them because it looks absolutely delicious, “swiss muesli for Catherine” Cat mumbles a quick thank you as Nova positions a box of swiss muesli next to a bowl, spoon and a bottle of milk in front of her. “Smiley faced egg, three slices of bread and bacon with orange juice for my besties” the girls giggle as Nova positions their food in front of them before kissing both their cheeks like a mother would do to her children, making me smile. “And last but not least, chocolate chip pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup” she puts it all on the table for me and my face slightly falls thinking that she has forgotten how I eat breakfast “and frosted flakes”, she add pu
Nova's POV I bring out my Glock 17 together with the suppressor from under the vanity and disassemble it before cleaning, I reassemble and reload the gun with a magazine of 19 9mm ammunition before returning it to its hiding place. I go to the mini bookshelf and run my hand through the books, all of them are our favourite classics, tattered and frayed by years of reading. I end up picking one of my all time favourites, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë before making my self comfortable on the armchair. I've barely gone through the first chapter when the door opens and Liz's curious face pops in through the door, “hey” she says, I give her a two finger wave and continue to stare at her. Her head disappears and a few seconds pass before I hear her voice calling out to the rest, “put down that guitar dude, you can't even tune it let alone play it, and you all should get your ass out here, she's in the other room” they must be in the music room, it's two doors down from our room and I'm s
“I could teach you, if you really want to learn” everyone looks at me and I shrink a bit before my subconsciousness gives me a slap and I sit straight back up, she is such a bully. “How good are you, I want only the best” Jay says and I roll my eyes, I thought he would've learnt by now, “I thought you would've learnt from the cocktail incident, not to brag but I'm really good” he turns to Adrain for confirmation “ she is good, we both went to the famous Violin Academy, she took interest in most instruments hence we have all those in that room” Adrain says dramatically still glaring at Liz, “so you mean, that she knows how to play all of them?” “yes all of them, Nova sometimes has a I–want–to–know–it–all problem, she learnt thirteen languages and also practiced their accents not because she needed them but because she read somewhere that bilingual brains are naturally more focused and can handle distractions better than a monolingual one”, “thirteen?!, how did your head manage to stay
I push open the door with my backside, turning around to face my already seated friends while kicking the door close. I dump all the snacks and canned soda on to a wide glass table that I had installed in the middle of the room and said “go crazy guys” I grab a cheese ball pack and an apple juice box that I brought for my self before sitting yoga style on one of the couches in the room. They all took the snacks of their choice and cans of soda before resuming their positions on the different couches, I see Kayden and Catherine acting all lovely dovey and I shudder. They were all talking and joking with each other with the exception of Kayden and Cathrine who look like they are on their own world and Adrain whose on his phone probably texting Bryan one of Adrain and I's friend or some poor girl who he wants in his bed. I buried my body deeper into the couch with my legs still folded and focused on my snack, I finished the pack and juice box so I took another one and settled back in and
“I didn't know godesses had mini godesses in them”. I could see Catherine's face turning red with anger, while the rest of them looked shocked. Adrain looks pretty normal I do too but inside I'm fucking confused and elated and…I don't know, just confused. But I did catch one thing from his expression when he noticed Catherine's red face and everyone's shocked look, he didn't mean to say it out loud, it was supposed to be a thought but it slipped out and I don't know how to respond to this. “Did I say that out loud, damn I'm in trouble” “damn right you are” Catherine yelled, not too loud but loud enough for him to snap out of whatever trance he was in. His face carried a hint of shock, I guess he didn't mean for that one to slip out too, I sigh burying my face back into the pillow. I sat still making sure to breathe quietly not wanting to be the one to break the silence, “babe I'm sorry, but I didn't do anything wrong okay, I just made a comment and fine I get it, that isn't something
I open the door and the chattering stops as they all looks at me, “where'd you go?“ Dee says with concern and I give her a smile, “I'm sorry for rushing out I just had to get this” I say swinging the bottle. Adrain stands up and snatches the bottle and glass and I whine trying to get it back but he raises his hand making me pout because I know that I'll never get it unless he lowers his hand. “Come on Ad, I just need one glass” “no, you're getting addicted to this poison and it's not good” “I need it to be able to cope with “The Witch” and her bitchy comments, please Ad” I whisper and he sighs in defeat, “okay, two glasses and no more than that, promise” “scouts honour” I say putting my hand in my chest like a child and he smiles. I grab the bottle and glass from him and head to the piano before pouring myself a full glass, finish it and pour another full glass before giving Adrain the bottle. Drinking half the glass I wring my hands and crack my knuckles getting ready to immense my
After all these years I kinda like it that some of my friends are still the same.Jay is still the same charming and playful idiot from high school, Dee's still the shy and adorable little bunny that I always have an urge to protect even though she's older, Liz is still the outspoken and protective little diva with a know‐it‐all attitude that I absolutely love(not as protective as me though). Dan's still a semi bashful cutie with random spouts of courage and confidence, still has a very big crush on Dee that he has (not surprisingly) worked on while Kay, well…Kay's still Kay, that's all I have to say.“So you gonna do it?“ I here someone say as I force my self back into reality, “are you even listening” Dan snaps his hand in front of me and I slap his hand out of reflex. “Ouch, what was that for” he says rubbing his hand, he's lucky it was only a slap, I tend to do much worse when I'm startled, “sorry” he nods his head in acceptance. “Sorry for not paying attention, what were you guys
I sigh for what seems like the hundredth time as I find nothing to help, I look at the files now scattered around me like flower petals though a lot more annoying since I haven't even started trying to find the connection between Kayden, Jayden, Dan and the people who hired the hit on them. I also don't know that person so I have a lot on my plate right now and yet i am stuck trying to get out of this stupid contract we where tricked into. I swear on my life when I catch whoever did this I would waste no time shoving my knife deep into their gut before asking questions. My phone rings out and I pick up my phone that's beside me, hope flaring in me as I read the contact name. “Hey Rizz, did you find anything good” I say rushedly but I'm met with silence making me frown and as about to speak again I hear his sarcasm filled voice “Hey to you too and I've been doing fine thanks for asking” I sigh and smile “I'm sorry Rizzo, I just find myself so anxious these days. I don't know when t

Kayden's POV “Why the fuck are you guys so early” Nova says as she walks down the stairs with hooded eyes, wearing a black kitty onesie with the hood off and her hair still wet from the shower. “Morning to you too dear bestie, how was your night” Liz says jolting us from our thoughts, she groans as a response as she heads to the kitchen and wraps her hands around Adrains waist, he immediately hands her a cup of black coffee and she chugs it down quickly regardless of the fact that it was hot, she hands him the cup and he pours more coffee in it, she drinks that one as fast as the first before fully opening her eyes to look at us, her expression is neutral as she stares at us for a while before shrugging and for a moment I'm left thinking that it was probably an illusion I witnessed this morning and this girl right here with a serene look was not the same as the broken one this morning. “We missed you” the girls say as they rush to hug her but she stiffens and her eyes dart from each
