Chapter 11

After thirty minutes of complete silence I broke. I couldn't take it anymore. Turning a bit in my seat I looked over at Knox. He looked so in control sitting there, one hand gripping the steering wheel while the other was casually draped on the arm rest. He didn't seem at all concerned about the snow alongside the road. If I was driving I would have been white-knuckling it the entire time."Tell me some things about you." I suddenly spoke."Like what?" His voice was gruff."Did you grow up in Burlington?" Lets start off simple."I did.""Woah, easy there on the information." I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes."What do you want from me?" Knox snapped, finally turning his head to look at me. I froze at those cold green eyes staring at me. Somehow he managed to glare at me and still keep an eye on the road.I wasn't going to let him get to me though. No I am going to take the high road."I want to get to know you. We are

AubreySending my mom a quick text telling her we were 20 minutes away, I started to ready myself for this week. Seeing my family after 10 months was going to be....odd. I've always come home to visit every few months but this past year I haven't. With work being so busy, and after...everything else I couldn't bring myself to do so. Only sticking to calling my mom every few weeks, and exchanging texts between my brothers.I had horrible daughter down pat."Just a fair warning..." I glanced over at Knox then at Olivia who just woke up. "My mom can be a bit too friendly. So if she asks something you don't want to answer, then you don't have to." No doubt my mom would try and learn every little detail about Knox."And if you guys are at all uncomfortable and don't want to stay, you are free to leave. You don't have to stay if you don't want. I will give you the two grand no matter what." I didn't want Knox or Olivia thinking they had to stay if they w

By time I came out of the bathroom Knox was gone. Olivia's suitcase was gone which meant he already put it in her room. I sat on the edge of my bed, tugging at the sleeves of my sweater. I've only been home a total of 20 minutes and yet it felt weird being here. Almost like years and years have passed when its really only been 10 months.Not wanting to let Knox or Olivia to get stuck with my mom, I made myself get up and head downstairs. Walking down the stairs I found myself smiling softly at the pictures once more. I paused at one of us as a family. It was about two years old and it was taken on Christmas. All 5 of us dressed in matching PJ's, grinning like idiots with wrapping paper scattered all around us.I quickly looked away and walked the rest of the way down the stairs. My stomach growled loudly as I followed the smell of food in the kitchen. The smell of cinnamon bread made my mouth water. I fully planned on pigging out this next week on my mom's food.

Episode 14The moment my older brother Lucas arrived the house was instantly filled with loud voices. One look at my nieces and they were yelling and running towards me."Bre!" The two little girls ran full speed at me. I managed to squat down in time before their little bodies collide with mine."Oh my goodness I missed you." I hugged them tightly before pulling back. "You've grown like two feet since I last saw you two. You don't have boyfriends now do you?" I mockingly narrowed my eyes."Noooo." They both giggled."Good." I swooped them both up in my arms before standing up. My legs protested as I stood. Both of their arms wrapped around my neck slightly chocking me but I didn't complain.Sophie and Charlotte were the cutest little girls. Sophie was the oldest at 4, and with her blue eyes and blonde hair she was definitely going to be a little heartbreaker when she grew up. No one was quite sure how she got blonde hair considering Lucas w

Chapter 15

Dinners ready!" My mom yelled from the kitchen, breaking the conversations in the living room. Knox and my two brothers were busy talking about what, no clue. While Olivia and I were playing barbies with the girls.Every few minutes I found myself glancing at Knox. The grin tugging at the corners of his mouth making me wonder what they were talking about. The three of them were clearly hitting it off.Sophie and Charlotte tugged Olivia into the kitchen, followed by my brothers which left Knox and I alone in the living for a moment."You seem to be getting along with my brothers quite well." I remarked."Yeah, they are nice guys. Well aside from Jackson hitting on me a few times.""Oh god." I brought a hand to my forehead. "I should have warned you he is a chronic flirt.""I didn't know he was bi." Knox sent me a curious look."He came out a few years ago that he was." I kept my eyes on his face, bracing myself to defend my brother. Just

Chapter 17

Adult content, readers are advised.My eyes were immediately drawn to the set of abs that graced Knox's abdomen. The six-pack so defined it looked almost fake. Next my eyes jumped to his arms, or rather the tattoo covered arms.Tattoos that I haven't seen until now, covered the entire length of his arms. From shoulder to wrist. He even had a few scattered along his ribs and chest.Knox has always worn long sleeves or a jacket every time I've seen him so the tattoos were a huge surprise. The worst part...it made him twice as hot.My eyes were glued to Knox's shirtless chest, slowly trailing down the V that disappeared underneath a pair of plaid bottoms that hung low on his waist. I gulped, my mouth suddenly dry."Uhhh." I had no words. None. Nada."Sorry didn't know you were in the room." Knox finally spoke, making me finally pull my eyes away from him. I knew for a fact he saw me ogling him like some crazy person. Surprised I didn't have drool

Chapter 18

His eyes slowly opened until they met mine. We stared at one another, neither moving.Move Aubrey! Move!Before either of us could either say anything or even move, a knock sounded on the door. I don't know how it was possible for my eyes to get wider but they did."Honey?" My mom's voice sounded on the other side of the door. If the situation was different I would have laughed at Knox's expression but when the door knob started to turn it wasn't funny.Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Became a mantra in my head.The door opened as Knox and I stared at one another, not even sure what to do. While we weren't doing anything it was still embarrassing as hell having your own mother walk in on you in bed with a man. A shirtless man to boot."Good morning you two." My mom appeared in the doorway, looking at the two of us with a wide grin. My mom knows no bounds. "Just wanted to tell you two love birds that Olivia and are heading out to the bakery."Al

Chapter 19

 Exactly ten minutes later Knox was cursing next to me. The turkey bacon popped sending little bits of oil out towards his bare chest. I couldn't help but laugh every time he jumped backwards, now too stubborn to put a shirt on."I told you.""So you said ten times already." Knox gritted through his teeth."You'll learn that I am almost always right." With the bacon almost done I finally opened the carton of eggs. "How do you like yours?""I'll have them whatever way you have them." Knox shrugged."You don't have a preference?""You learn to eat whatever others do in the military. Don't really have the luxury of gourmet meals." His words made my chest squeeze. It said it so casually but it had to have sucked. He did three tours. Three!"Not gonna happen." I shook my head. Not on my watch. "How would you like your eggs?""Aubrey-" I ignored the way my name sounded on his lips."I'm the one cooking the eggs so what I sa

Chapter 20

First stop is the Farmers Market." I stated, buckling my seat belt."They have a Farmers Market in the middle of winter and on Christmas?" Knox asked, cranking up the heat in the car. The split second we were outside was enough to make frozen already. Thankfully though it wasn't snowing, but by the look of the clouds it could at any moment."Yep. And this time of year is one of the best times to go."After our little shower run in earlier neither of us have brought it back up. Once I came out of the bathroom from doing my makeup and hair, I ignored the tension between us. We still had a few days together and it was best to brush it off and forget about it. Knox seemed inclined to do the same."What do they sell?" Knox questioned, backing out of the driveway."They'll have a few fruits and vegetables but the main stuff is Christmas themed. All different kinds of Holiday sweets, handmade stuff for presents. That sort of thing." I had so many memories comin
