"I would but I'm not the one that going to be trick or treating OR going to a party," I say making it clear.

"Come on Hope, just come around midnight, everyone will be so wasted that they won't even remember who you are the next morning and if they did they'll probably just think that their imagining things or were totally wasted," he gives me puppy dog eyes. "Will, you at least consider it?" He begs while holding both my shoulders.

"Fine, I'll consider to consider, considering it," his face drops.

"That's three considers, that only gives me only a 30% chance you'll come," he pouts.

"Exactly so be happy you got even that much cause it could be negative 30%," I sass.

He sighs. "Fine, but will you still get the costume even if you don't come maybe you can still wear it for me one day?" He gives a suggestive hint. I roll my eyes but take it from him anyway and he smiles. "I'll take that as a yes." Then I grab the kid's attention and we take our costumes to the checkout after Hunter finally found the outfit he wanted and he wouldn't show it to me so he told me if I wanted to know what it is I'll come to the party.

We finished up there so we all went back to my house cause the guys wanted to once again play on my gaming system. But I can't complain it's been actually nice having someone else who knows my secret but still can be trusted. I hope that trust doesn't get tested anytime soon, cause I really want to just enjoy this time right now. This makes me really think about going to that party Hunter invited me to.

We purchased the costumes and the twins and Luke got even more excited and wanted to go home to try them on so we went to my place since it was closest. Once home the kids each ran up the stairs and into their rooms. Hunter and I watched in amusement when the doorbell rang and I looked in confusion. Hunter opened the door before I could and he plastered an almost happy but also fake smile.

"Oh hey man, where you been?" Asked as Daniel walks in the door.

"Um," he looked over at me when he noticed me.

"He knows it's fine," I tell him.

"I've been in Germany on a mission, I'm happy I moved here and left my post cause now I can travel all over and go on exciting missions," Hunter closes the door as Daniel walks over and holds his arms out for a hug.

With a smile, I shake my head at him but hug him none the less. "Was the mission complete?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Yes ma'am don't worry about it, I always finish my missions," I nod in approval then step back. "Where are the kids?"

"We just got their costumes so they're upstairs changing," he looked confused.

"Costumes for what?" He kinda tilts his head.

"Um Halloween," I look at him confused as his face registers what I said.

"Oh yeah sorry just forgot," he takes a second to think. "Were you going to take them trick or treating?"

"I was going to leave that up to you since you always take them and they even asked about you, so if you hadn't come then I would have taken them," I shrug.

"Okay well I'll take them and you can come if you want," I was going to answer but Hunter beat me to it.

"Actually," he puts an arm over my shoulder. "I'm taking her to a Halloween party." Daniel looks confused.

"I wouldn't let Mark see your arm over his girlfriend like that, he might just break it in half," Looks like the time to tell him has come.

"Oh, you mean my girlfriend?" Daniel looks confused again.

"Say what?" His head kinda tilts to the side with his mouth slightly parted.

"Hope please tell me he is lying and that you didn't break up with Mark, even though I don't like him, to be with him, you know the son of Carter Black," Daniel gives an urging look that wants me to say I'm not but I really like Hunter.

"I am dating Hunter, but since you've been gone back and forth so much I couldn't tell you when you were here, which reminds me your not going on any more missions for the remainder of the year," I told my arms across chest.

"What! Why not and REALLY him!??!" I sigh.

"Yes me," Hunter looks annoyed. "I'm going to call the guys while you both finish this up." He kisses my forehead but doesn't look over at Daniel he just turns and goes towards the kitchen. When Mark did that it would be to show off but I feel like Hunter just felt like showing me he trusts my judgment.

"Hope, I'm just going to let you do you when you've finally realized that your relationship with him isn't going to work please call me and we'll go get ice cream together with the kids just because. Anyways I'll take the kids for Halloween, so while you are still young I think you should go to the party, I'll be with the kids upstairs," he puts his hand on my face pushing a strand of hair behind my ear then walks past me up the stairs.

I go into the living to see Hunter playing with Taco. "Daniel must be on his own emotional rollercoaster when it has to do with you," Hunter says walking over to me then holds me in his arms.

"I don't get why, but until I understand myself don't tell me, I'm going to realize everything on my own and I guess I will go to the party with you," I look to the side.

Hunter stands back surprised. "Who are you and what did Daniel do to my Hope?"

"Shut up," I hit his chest harder than I guess I should have cause now he's groaning in pain and falling to his knees "Oops guess I forgot my own strength," I smile while he holds his chest.

"I'll..get..you back....for this," his breathing shakes with every word.

"Oh what was that," I cup my ear. "I'm sorry I didn't catch that want to say that again?" I tease him then he looks up at me as I bend over him.

"You just wait and see," he gives me a sadistic smile then runs after me when I run towards the basement. He caught me as I tried to jump over the sofa then holds me down and tickles me, or he at least tries.

"Are you not ticklish!?" He looks down at me.

"Nope I've been training myself so now I'm resistant," I stick my tongue out at him.

"I guess I need a different punishment," he looks down to my lips and hovers for a second then kisses me slowly than with his free hand traces his hand up and down my side. His kiss trails from my lips to my neck until he found my sweet spot and I let out a small moan.

I could feel his smile against my neck. "Okay punishment over," he jumps off of me while I left confused.

"Wait, what?! Hunter come on you can't do that!" I sit up on the sofa with a pout.

"I surely and gladly did," he smirks then walks away with just a little pep in his step. I'll definitely get him for that later.
