Chapter 27 - Swimming Thoughts

"Sleep with who?"

"No one, get in the bed, I'm tired and my head is going mental. I need sleep," he climbed in,

"It's almost over. Don't quit now okay. Goodnight"

"Love you Tayte. I honestly couldn't replace you. You really are my best friend"

"I feel the same way Keane. Blood brothers"

"Blood brothers"

Tayte's POV

We, or should I say I, awoke at around 1pm that afternoon. Keane was still flat out, there was no way I was going to wake him, I would let him sleep in as long as I could. I headed into the bathroom and had a long needed shower and then changed into some fresh clean clothes, some of the many that I'd left here over the years, before heading downstairs. I found Mum in the kitchen with Arii,

"Afternoon Mum, Afternoon gorgeous"

"Afternoon sweetie" Mum replied,

"Good Afternoon handsome," I smiled and grabbed her round the waist, she squealed and asked,

"How's Keane?" I hugged her,

"Still sleeping, Noah?"

"Asleep," I sat down at the island,

"Did you want anything to eat? I was just going to cook some omelettes"

"Sounds good Mum. Have you heard any news?"

"Parker and Tammara left for London at around 9.30am. They were meeting with some people and getting things into motion. Tammara's going to come back here around 6ish to have a sit down meeting and explain what's going on"

"Where's Parker going to be?"

"He has a few other things to take care of, he's flying off somewhere to meet with someone, that's all I know"

"Okay, fair enough," Mum set about making the food, whilst Arii and I crashed on the sofas, watching some TV cuddled up together. Noah came down half an hour later,

"I smelt food" He said, his hair messy and his joggers hanging half way down his arse,

"Good morning to you too"

"Yeah, good morning, sorry. Food" He said, walking into the kitchen, we followed, Mum was just plating up the omelettes, "I hope you have made me one Jen" she laughed,

"I thought maybe you'd get up if you smelt it, of course I did. What about Keane, is there any movement?"

"No, I thought he was dead, so I went right close to his face and felt breath, so he's still sleeping," We all laughed. It was good to see everyone in such high spirits, maybe being back home, as in England was good for everyone. I just wondered how Keane was going to be.

"Have you heard from Angelo, did he get there okay? Surely he's going to be knackered" I asked,

"He got to Ryley's at 6.30am, went to sleep for about 4 hours and then left with her to see there Mum. He said he'd ring this evening and tell me how she is" He replied, tucking into his food.

By 4.30pm Noah had showered and freshened up and was actually wearing some clothes properly. Mum had popped home and said she'd be back soon. Arii was talking to Lyric and Noah was led on the sofa texting Angelo. I thought I'd best go check on Keane. He wasn't in the bed when I walked into the bedroom and I didn't hear the shower going,

"Keane?" I called, "I'm coming in, not like I haven't seen it all before" the bathroom was empty, "Keane," I ran down the stairs, "Have you seen Keane?" I asked Noah, he sat up,
