Alina's POV
Damn!!!
The atmosphere at dinner table feels so tense, only for me though. I don't know why the hell I was nervous to tell Andrew about my job. Seth and Felix were momentarily stealing glances and reassuring me. I finally gather up all my courage.
"Andrew." I call him with uncertainty, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Yes Violet." He says softly.
"You know I used to work in Southampton. I managed the finances and management of a club out there. In the last few days someone filled my place but now I want to go back to working. Actually I am. You don't have to worry because I'll be working from here. All the documents and reports will get delivered to me. I'm telling this because I just want you to support me because I really like this job. The club means a lot to me. I promise it won't affect my studies at all. The work isn't much, just takes two or three days a week. Al-" my rant is cut by Andrew.
"Shhhhh." He pressed his index finger on my lips. "You do know that you don't need to work, right?" He asks me calmly.
"Yes but I want to do this." I please with my eyes.
He stares at me for a while minute. We literally had a silent communication though our eyes. I used all the cuteness my eyes held to convince him. I didn't need his permission to work but I really wanted him to support my decision. "Okay. I'm not against it as long as your studies remain the way they are."
I do a victory dance mentally. "Thank you so much big brother." I grin.
Except Seth and Felix look a bit shocked. I know convincing Andrew is not easy but I guess that doesn't apply to me. I teased my brothers by smirking.
After dinner we go to each TV, as usual Andrew is missing. This time Seth is missing as well.
"You know because of you the twins and Mason do their school work on time. They just can't let go the opportunity to spend time with you." Tris says with a grateful smile.
"Well, I'm flattered."
Some time later my phone buzzes. Hans.
H- Jordan will be coming over to your school tomorrow. Front gate of your school when your lunch break starts.
A- Thank you Hans and don't forget to keep an eye on the manager.
H- Yes ma'am I'll keep BOTH my eyes on the manager. *salute*
This old man and his jokes!!!
A- Not so funnyyyyy.
H- Just like youuuuu.
A- Sleep old man. Goodnight.
H- I'm not an old man kiddo. Goodnight though.
Just then Andrew was in with Seth. He was already in his PJs and looked extremely tired. He directly came and sat next to me while ruffling my hair.
After a while I poke his arm to get his attention.
"Yes, Violet?"
"Lie down." I point at my lap. When he looks at me amused and doesn't move I tug his shirt and pull his arm. After studying my face for a while he obliges.
I start massaging his head. He closed his eyes and a small smile played on his lips. The I massage his arms, palm and nails. He dozed off in the middle of the massage. I looked around to see most of my brothers sleeping in
compromising positions which made me laugh.
I run my hand through Andrew's hair and place a kiss on his forehead. "I love you big brother." I gently lift his head and get up. I brought blankets, covers my brothers and headed to my room since there was no place left in the living room.
*Next morning*
Andrew's POV
I woke up the next morning at 6am. Tristan, Mason and Alina were the only missing ones. Maybe gym.
I went to my room for shower and get ready for the day. I came back to the dining room to see a sulking Alina. That's new. The twins sat in front of her.
I take my seat and look at the twins for an explanation.
"She was eating Nutella with bread when Mason came and snatched it from her saying she eats way too much of it and needs to eat only healthy food since she's underweight. Then Tristan came with his infamous drumstick soup. Fortunately set saw this and he distracted them so that we could throw away that shit." Felix explains while giving funny and dramatic expressions.
"I swear that tastes like my non-existent dogs pee who got some damn infection in his cock." Allen says with a cringe.
"Disgusting." Alina cringes at his example.
"Language." I hiss at him while I supress my laugh.
"Andrewwww please help." Alina whines cutely.
"Look at me Violet." I call her softly. "Don't whine. I promise you won't have to drink that nasty soup again and also you'll get your Nutella back." She finally smiles bright.
Well, it just took Nutella to make her smile. The Nutella Effect.
Within a few minutes everyone arrives and breakfast is served. Alina's plate had eggs and vegetables. Even I couldn't hide my distaste.
"Bye I'm going to school." Alina stands up.
"Not before you eat your breakfast." Mason says sternly.
"By any chance if you forgot then I would like to remind you that I do not take orders." She says innocently with her signature smile.
"Alina don't argue. Sit and eat." Tristan warns her.
I have never seen them so serious even about our gang stuff and here they are being so serious about her food.
"I clearly said I don't take orders." She repeats with a fake smile.
"Alina don't argue." Tristan says sternly.
Wow fuck you Tristan. Even I haven't spoken to Alina so rudely.
"Alina." I call her softly yet firmly and motion her to take a seat. She frowns. I immediately send her a 'Trust Me' look.
"Tristan and Mason." I address them. "I know you both are worried about her health but you can't force her to eat what she doesn't wishes to. I don't want her skipping meals because of that and I'm sure you both don't want that as well, right?" Both of them nod their heads. "Let her eat whatever she wants to. Her appetite will increase with time. If I see anyone forcing her to eat they'll be severely punished." I said while glaring at everyone.
Everyone nods. I send Alina a quick wink which she returns with a huge smile.
"But I'm still not giving her any Nutella. She eats way too much chocolate." Mason says while glaring at Alina.
"Okay settle down. Violet you can eat from my plate." She immediately shakes her head.
"No. I'll eat whatever I've been give only for today. Thank you for offering though."
"Your welcome Violet."
3rd Person POV
After breakfast Andrew called Alina to his room. She knocks on his door and leaks in when he says come in.
"I wanted to give you this." He shows her a pendant. "There's a tracker in it for safety reasons. Press it twice and a distress signal will be sent to us." He explains.
Though she didn't need it, she accepted it anyways. He tucks the pendant to her neck happily.
"And now listen. I've put Nutella and spoons in the first drawer on left side. You can come here, lock the door and eat. It's our lil secret. Go check." He tells her. Her eyes immediately light up.
She goes and open the drawer but her expression changed immediately.
"Andrew I didn't know this was Nutella. Thank you for enlightening me." She says with humor and sarcasm laced voice.
Andrew looks at her in confusion and goes to her. His eyes widen when he sees condoms instead of Nutella. Lots of them actually. His cheeks and ears immediately get red in embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry Alina. Check in the second drawer." He says shyly.
Well, which elder brother would want his sister to see this?
When she finds her Nutella she scoops some immediately and eats.
"Isn't that a lot to keep?" She asks him playfully.
"I don't know. Let's not talk about this." He says while looking away.
"Chill I didn't walk on you big brother. Just saw lots of condoms." She offers Andrew a spoonful of Nutella which he gladly accepts.
"I can't even think of you walking on any one of us Alina." He eyes widen in horror just by thinking about such scene.
"But I never saw you'll doing any stuff like this since I came here." She wiggles her eyebrow.
"Don't worry that pretty head of yours. We have outhouse and hotels you know."
"Aaaaahhhh."
She quickly places the jar, the thanks Andrew and leaves his room only to bump into the twins who drag her to their room.
"We will keep a Nutella jar here for you. Come and eat whenever you wish to. It's our secret okay" Allen says.
She couldn't help but stand there in awe. She thanks them and goes to her room to get ready.
When she comes out Seth calls her to his room.
"Princess I'll be keeping Nutella jar over here in my room. Don't tell Mason and Tristan. It's a secret." He whispers.
She thanked him and hugged him. She couldn't help but wonder what she did to get suck loving brothers.
The day in school was smooth. When lunch came she went to the front gate of the school and saw Jordan standing over there waiting for her.
He hands her a bag which had her laptop and documents.
"I guess you'll be having a weekly task if delivering things to me. I feel a bad for you."
"Oh C'MON it's okay. I don't mind doing anything for our lady boss." He teases and bows in respect.
Alina had a playful attitude with her employees. She never bossed around. She has always been friendly.
"Thank you Jordan."
"Your most welcome lady boss."
With this he leaves.
"Who was that?" A familiar voice booms. I almost jump in fright. I turn around to see an irritated Allen.
"That was Jordan. He works for the club, came here to deliver this." She shows the bag.
He nods his head and puts an arm around her shoulder. They go to their car and put the bag inside.
"How much do you earn annually lady boss?" He asks her while mocking me.
"That for me to know and you to never find out." She says while sticking out her tongue. "But yeah I have enough money to treat you and others to ice-cream after school if you'll wish to."
"Oh yeah why not. I'm keen to spend your money since you seem to have a lot." He teases her.
"Heyy I'm not a billionaire." She flicks his forehead making him wince.
