Can You Teach Me? (Parts 201+)

Part 214 Wheel of Wow

"Fucker."  North grumbled before spinning the wheel.  He landed on Romantic Candlelight dinner.  "Sounds good to me.  I look forward to our healthy dinner, Baby.  And you are the perfect dessert.  Just the right kind of sweet."  He came over and gave me a quick kiss.

"Let's see, a kiss, a bubble bath and a bare hug are left.  All of those sound fun."  Kota spun the wheel and it landed on Big, Wet Kiss.  "You might want to prepare yourself, because I am one of the best negotiators."  He wiggled his eyebrows and I swallowed hard at his suggestion.  He kissed my forehead and then sat down.

Victor smiled at me, "bare hug and bubble bath... I don't see where I can go wrong with either of those choices.  You'll be getting naked for either one."  He leaned forward and spun the wheel.  Oh God!  What did I do?  This gift idea was the stupidest plan I have ever had.

"Bare hug."  Victor came over to me and kissed my cheek before he whispered in my ear, "Is this only you are getting bare or both of us?" 

"We can talk about that later."  I told him through my pink cheeks.

"Pookie, I need to take my turn."  Sean kissed my neck. He picked me up and set me on Owen's lap.  Owen's arms tightened around my waist, pulling me into his body even more.   Sean spun the wheel and got...

"Bubble bath for two.  But the best part..." He pointed at the words in parenthesis, "lather, rinse,..." His voice deepened, "Repeat!  And repeat, and repeat."  He started laughing as I was blushing deeper and deeper red with every "repeat" uttered.

Silas studied the wheel for a moment.  Then he spun the wheel and it landed on Bare Hug.  He took the wedge from the wheel, turned to me and pulled off his shirt in one smooth move, "no time like the present Aggele."

"Oy, fucker!  She said at a later day!"  Gabriel was on his feet, his hands fisted at his sides.

"Relax little man, I was only teasing her."  He looked at me, "I am ready whenever you are.  Merry Christmas, Aggele."

I stay snuggled in Owen's lap while the boys exchanged their gifts with the person they had drawn the name for.  Since Silas was already standing, he picked up his gift for Victor.  It was   a piece of paper that said, "I will pay for your first month's service on the new Google Glass." 

"What is Google Glass?"  I asked.

Kota answered, "it is a pair of glasses that gives you internet access right in the lens of the glasses."

"Thanks Silas!  They will be very helpful on missions.  They will help hide my identity and keep my hands free."  Victor went and picked up his gift for Sean.  It was a new doctor's bag.  It looked more like a messenger's bag but was specifically designed to hold all the medical supplies.

"This is wonderful Victor!  Thank you so much.  Were you embarrassed with my old school bag?  It was Dr. Roberts' that he handed down."

"Not embarrassed, just thought you should have a new bag."

Sean picked up his gift for Gabriel.  "Do you know how hard it is to get you a gift that you didn't just get for your birthday?"  Gabriel opened his gift and found a new hair cutting set.

"Thanks Doc.  More than one of you need me to make use of these ASAP!"  Everyone laughed.

Gabriel picked up his gift for Owen, "Enjoy Mr. B."  Owen opened his gift.  It was a painting of Owen and I in profile view, looking at each other.  You could see the love pouring out of both of us.  It was only about an 8 x 10 inch canvas.  Something he can put in his bedroom.

"I don't know what to say Gabe.  You really are amazing.  Thank you, truly."  Owen gave his present to Nathan and I continued to study how well Gabe had captured every detail of both Owen and I in this painting.

Nathan opened his gift from Owen and found a backpack filled with survival gear.  The outside said 72 Hour Kit.  "This is awesome!  Thanks."

"All you need to add is bottled waters and clothing.  Everything else comes ready, in case of an emergency."  Owen explained.

"What kind of emergency?"  I asked.  I was curious.

"Major disasters like hurricanes, wild fires, tornadoes, and such."  Owen answered.

"Don't forget Zombie Apocolypse."  Nathan corrected.  I smirked at him.  Like a zombie apocolypse was even possible.

Nathan gave his gift to Luke.  It was a pair of black pants.  "Um, thanks?"  Luke said looking a little confused.  Nathan just laughed, "they have hidden pockets to hold all your tools when you go out on missions."  He laughed again.

Luke started hunting around the pants, finding at least eight hidden compartments on the pants.  "Wow!  Why haven't you thought about pants like this for me before Gabe?  I bet I could hide quite a few candy bars in here."

"I don't think candy was what they were designed for Luke."  North sternly chided his brother.

"Well, you will never know.  Will you?"  He teased back.  Before he picked up a present for Silas.  It was an envelope.  He opened it up and smiled really big.

"A sailboat for a day!  You are all invited."  Silas proclaimed.  Luke was smiling really big.  Even North looked pleased, almost excited himself.  "I already gave my gift, North you go ahead."

North gave his gift to Kota.  It was a first edition of "The Hobbit". 

"You are kidding me, right?  This is... Wow.  My Precious!"  He hissed like Gollum as he stroked the hard cover over and over.  That gave me the giggles.

Kota gave North his gift.  It was a gift card to the auto parts store.  "Nice!  I was wanting to add an automatic starter to the Jeep.  Thanks Kota."

"You're welcome."

"Let's either play Christmas Trivia or watch a Christmas movie."  Gabriel suggested.

I was content to just stay curled up in each of the guy's laps for the night.  I didn't care what else we did.  Just seeing how much thought was put into everyone's gifts, whether hand made or bought, I know I will never leave my new family.  EVER! 

Annie wandered around the living room and Sam followed just behind her, always looking around as if keeping an eye and nose out for trouble.  She jumped up on my lap and Sam followed right behind.  Annie curled up on my lap and Sam laid his head over Annie's stomach.

"I can already see these two are going to monopolize your time," Owen scratched them both behind the ears as he spoke, "aren't they My Love?"  He gently kissed my jaw just below my ear.  He nibbled his way down my neck to the crook.  His hand had come up to stroke my hair.

"Mmm hmmm."  I hummed and closed my heavy eyes as the warmth from Sam and Annie radiated through my body and Owen's fingers stroked through my hair in a steady rhythm.
