Sloan

Chapter 10 - Wife

Alec has been acting weird. Like he's normally a fucking weirdo but he's been real sus these past few days.

I'm going to question him later but for now I'm sitting on the island while Alden is playing C.O.D. on the PS4 and Wyatt looks like he's sleeping but he's awake, you can tell my the little twitch in his arm every once in a while.

"Aw you fucking dick!" Alden screams at the TV.

"You're a dick." Wyatt mumbles.

"Excuse me!"

He runs over to Wyatt's spot on the couch and jumps on him. Wyatt groans and shuffles a bit to where Alden's half on top of him and half on his side.

They're cuddling.

It looks very comfy.

Very comfy.

I'm about to run in and jump in the cuddle pile but Alec comes in and dramatically gasps before screaming "Cuddles, fuck yes!" and joining the cuddles.

They now look even more comfy but also like they're going to fall.

I chuckle at the dumb asses and look at my phone until dad comes in.

"Hey Papá." I get up and kiss his cheek.

"Ooh dad. Can I talk to you for a second?" Ok what the hell? He never does this.

I watch the two as they talk and Alec looks really serious.

What the fuck? Dude did a fucking 360.

Well time for for me to join the cuddle pile I guess.

"Wake up kids." The lump under me moves. My pillow should not be moving. My. Pillow. Is. Moving.

What the fuck.

I bolt up and look around realizing that papá was the one trying to wake us up and my "pillow" was Alden and Wyatt.

"Come on people who don't live in my house. Up and out go. Go." He ushers their still half asleep figure to the door.

"Come on Elio, why are you kicking us out?" Alden asks.

"It's Mr. Sloan and we're having a family dinner."

"But we are family." Wyatt pouts.

"Blood family." He closes the door on them.

"So what kind of family dinner is this? And where is everyone papá?" I now realize my siblings nonexistent presence.

"Well it's an important dinner and the twins are up stairs and Alec's out, he should be home soon." Where though father?

"You should go upstairs and put some nicer clothes on." Nicer clothes? Someone better be coming over or else I'm throwing hands.

"Ok." I nod and go upstairs.

I open my drawer and start looking for my blue ripped jeans and a cropped black top.

After I put my clothes on I let my hair down from its ponytail and brush it.

Once I make sure my bangs are properly spread across my forehead I go downstairs and turn on the TV.

I smell papá's cooking and my stomach immediately growls.

"Hey Hermosa, go tell the twins to come down and make sure they're dressed properly please!" Dad yells from the kitchen.

"Ok!" I shout back.

I get off the couch and up the stairs to the twins' rooms. I decide to knock on Jonas's door first.

"Hey Jonas, dad wants you two down stairs." I open his door and he's just sitting in his beanbag chair wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. He nods and follows me out to Rowen's door.

"Hey Rowen, dad wants you and Jonas down stairs." She opens her door and is wearing blue jeans and a purple shirt.

The three of us walk down the steps and when we get to the bottom the door opens.

Dad rushes over while Alec walks in with a really pretty blonde girl. She has these really pretty blue eyes.

When she sees all the eyes on her she blushes a little.

Is she Alec's girlfriend? I mean if she is kudos to him but like, she's way out of his league.

"Uh hi guys, this is my girlfriend, Penelope." He smiles down at her.

"Hi guys." She gives a small wave, "I'm guessing you're Tyler, you're Rowen, and you're Jonas." She points to each of us and we nod.

"Well, now that introductions are done, dinner's ready."

I stay back and wait for the others to go by. Alec lightly nudges Penelope and she looks at him and walks to the table. Alec walks toward me and puts his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm serious about her. Ok, I don't want to to think I'm just messing around like with the other ones. Ok?" He looks actually serious.

"Well, I think you did good on this one brother." He nods and we walk towards the table.

Dad serves us and we start one of those awkward get to know you conversations.

"Ok, I'm done this shit is awkward as hell. Penelope what's your middle name, childhood dream, smell that brings you back to christmas?" I express.

"Um, well my middle name is Rigley, my childhood dream was to my an astronomer, and it's this really specific mix of vanilla, flour, and my grandma's couch."

"That's actually really amazing, what's your favorite hobby?"

"I write songs."

"Ok yes this woman is now my wife. I'm gonna call you wife." She's my wife now.

"Um ok, I guess." She sounds uncertain.

"God Ty, you're gonna scare her away." Alec says, exasperated.

"It's a hobby." We all laugh.

And that's how the rest of the night went, laughing and learning about eachother.
