Part 45
Sang's POV
As each of the guys left Mr. Blackbourne's office, I kissed them all on the cheek. I always hate it when we have to be separated, even for just 24 hours. I know I will see everyone Sunday. And possibly I will see a lot of them tomorrow night, as they come over to Victor's when they finish their jobs.
The office door was closed behind Kota, who left last. "Give us just a minute Pookie, then we will be out of here."
"Ok." I shrugged my shoulders and perched on Dr. Green's desk. He grabbed my feet and swung my legs around until my feet were in his lap. He had his eyes on his computer screen while he removed my shoes. Then he started massaging the balls of my feet.
I looked over at Mr. Blackbourne who was busy filling out paperwork. Sean moved from rubbing the balls of my feet to massaging the arch of my feet. I couldn't stop the moan that slipped out of my mouth as my eyes closed and my head fell forward. Wow, that feels really good! I was in Heaven. I don't even care that my feet might stink right now. I just want Sean to continue doing what he is doing.
"Miss Sorenson" I heard whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and looked up. Mr. Blackbourne was standing right next to me with his millimeter smile. I turned to look at Sean, who was no longer rubbing my feet. He was just holding them and smiling the most gorgeous name forgetting smile.
"Hhhmmm?" My eloquent response, not looking away from Sean's smile.
A finger was stroked across my cheek and I pulled my eyes from Sean and landed on the most gorgeous liquid silver eyes. "Are you ready to go shopping now.....Sang?"
I sighed. Sean started laughing and I realized they heard that. My cheeks flamed red and I hid my face in my hands. "No hiding now Pookie." I felt him place a kiss on my toes as my hands were being pulled away from my face. Owen was holding my hands in his.
"We need to drop off my car before we go shopping. Will you ride with me Pookie?"
"Of course. But what about my bag? I left it in Kota's car." Oh no! I had forgotten and now they have left with my clothes for tonight.
"It is already taken care of." Owen responded.
"Oh, I almost forgot....thank you for the pizza for lunch."
"Your welcome Pumpkin."
We walked quietly and quickly out to the cars. Owen was right behind me and opened my door before I could. I slipped in the car and he closed the door before proceeding to his own car. I know that since they are my teachers I cannot be seen leaving school with them. Before I am buckled in, Sean has driven out on the road. We were driving toward his condo. Mr. B would be shortly behind us.
"Do you know what you want to buy or are we taking you out to find a gift for Gabriel?"
"I know what I am getting. There is a place that does personalized gifts with pictures. I will have to look up the address and it might take an hour to get it done. Also, I still need to take your picture and Owen's picture too."
"You can take my picture whenever you want. Owen, on the other hand, might take some convincing to get his picture. And, it doesn't matter how long it takes for us to shop. We have until tomorrow at 10:30am." He reached over and squeezed my knee. Leaving his hand there he traced his thumb in circles on my knee cap. It felt good at first but then it started to tickle. I was laughing and tried to grab his hand to stop his tickling.
"Sean! That tickles!" I was laughing harder now.
"Pookie, do I need to stop those giggles?"
"Yes! If it will get you to stop ticking me!" I was still trying to pry his fingers off my knee and laughing so much tears were rolling down my face.
Sean abruptly pulled into a small business parking lot and threw the car into park. I was confused, looking out the window, not knowing where we are or why we have stopped. I turned to ask Sean where we were.
His lips crashed on mine, his hand going behind my neck. His fingers drifting over my neck with a featherlight touch. I responded to his kiss by running my tongue over his lower lip. He groaned the most delicious sound and his tongue slid into my mouth. My body ignited in tingles all over. His tongue caressed with mine and his citrus and ginger scent woke all my senses up.
To my dismay, he pulled away from me and kissed the end of my nose. I was breathing hard, my chest rising and falling like I had run a marathon. "That seemed to effectively stop your giggling."
"You made me laugh. You were tickling me." I defended myself.
"All is fair in love and war." And he was back to driving toward his house.
"So if I want you to kiss me, I have to start giggling?" I asked with a coy smile.
Sean looked at me and shook his head with a chuckle. "You are a dangerous little vixen aren't you?" I didn't quite understand what he meant by that and it must have shown on my face. "No, pumpkin. If you want me to kiss you, you just have to say. But if you still feel too shy to verbalize your need or desire, you can always use body language or just think about me kissing you and I could probably read it on your face." I blushed at his words and he stroked his fingertips over my blush.
"Well you can't think about wanting me to kiss you again right now. Owen is behind us and we have some shopping to do." He was laughing. "But if you want to hold that thought for tonight....." He left the thought lingering and I turned even redder.
We arrived at his condo and I am surprised that even in mid November the roses were still blooming. Owen had pulled his car in next to us and got out of his car, making it impossible for me to get out of Sean's car. Owen opened my door for me and extended a hand for assistance. I swung both feet out, took his hand and stood. Trying to be ladylike in a skirt.
Owen shut my door, took my school bag, and laced our fingers together as we walked to Sean's front door. Sean was ahead of us opening up his door, my overnight bag in his hand. I noticed the roses at the front have a nice fragrance. Owen reached over and plucked a rose off the bush. "For you Miss Sorenson." I inhaled the delicious scent and smiled.
When I smell roses, I now think of the nine Chrysler imperial roses that Mr. Blackbourne gave me at Victor's concert behind stage. They were for my birthday and it was the first time I thought all nine of these beautiful guys like me. I still don't know how I got so lucky.
Inside Sean's condo I excuse myself to use the bathroom before we leave. Sean has gone upstairs to put my bag in his room and Owen is sitting in the living room. I look at my hair that Meanie quickly pulled, twisted and pinned after gym class. He is amazing. I could never get my hair to do anything other than pull it in my clip or leave it down, hanging limp. I readjust my skirt and smooth my shirt flat. I am happy I chose to dress for Owen and Sean. They both seem pleased with my outfit today. I feel like they are claiming me, in a way, when I wear their favorite color and See they are happy with my choice.
Back in the living room both Sean and Owen are waiting for me. They look happy and relaxed. "So, where to Pookie?"
"Let me look up the address, but first...." I pointed my phone at Sean and snapped a picture of him smiling easily at me.
"Was it good? Let me see."
"I like it!" I walked over to him to show him the phone. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto his lap.
With his arms around me, he looked at the picture. "That is a good picture. What exactly do you need it for again?"
"Gabriel's birthday present." I looked over at Owen and pouted a little.
"May I take your picture too please?"
"There is no need to pout to get what you want Miss Sorenson. I would be honored if you wanted to take my picture."
I smiled and pointed my phone at him. He looked intensely at me but there was a hint of his millimeter smile present. I snapped the picture and slumped back into Sean looking at the picture of Owen.
"May I see the picture?" Mr. B asked me.
"Of course." I stood up and walked to him. He opened up his arms in invitation for me to sit with him. I sat on his lap and snuggled into his chest to look at the picture with him.
"Do you want to see all of the guys pictures?" I asked him. Sean scoot over and sat right up next to Owen, with his arm behind him on the couch, so he could see them too. They laughed at Gabe's smirk, Silas' funny face and Luke's sticking his tongue out. They grunted at North's grumpy face and Nathan's kissing his bicep. I sighed at Victor's fire eyes showing and Kota's sweet smile. They looked at me when I sighed, but they didn't look upset. They looked happy. Owen held me a little tighter and Sean was running his free hand over my thigh.
"Can you find the address to the store we need to go to?" Mr. B asked me.
I took back my phone and opened up my internet browser. I already had the store pulled up from my earlier search. I handed over my phone to Owen. "I need to go get my money out of my bag. I'll be right back." I told them.
I hurried upstairs and took out my money from my overnight bag. It is times like this I wish I had a purse. I stuffed my money into my bra and ran down the stairs. I am excited to go shopping.
"Let's go Pookie!" Sean said excitedly and held out his hand for me. Mr. B gave me back my phone and I slipped it into my bra.
We rode in Mr. Blackbourne's BMW. I was in the front seat and Sean was in the back. "Why exactly are we going to this store Miss Sorenson?"
"They specialize in personalized gifts."
"What is it exactly?" Sean asked me.
"Just don't tell me it is dumb. Because I thought about this for a while. Then I searched the internet for what I was looking for. And this is the only place that will do what I want."
"We would never think your ideas are dumb Miss Sorenson."
"Pookie, do you think that little of me? Of us? We just want to know what magnificent gift idea came out of that beautiful mind of yours. In fact, I think I might be a bit jealous Gabriel is getting the first Sang gift."
I giggled then quickly stopped and looked back at Sean. He had a devilish smile and a twinkle in his eye. "Later Miss Sang!" I blushed.
"And the gift is...?" Owen questioned.
"Personalized guitar picks. I forgot! If you could say Happy Birthday to Gabe in 30 letters or less, what would you say?" I asked them both.
"May your Birthday be memorable!" Owen stated.
"16 years and counting Gabriel!" Sean chuckled.
"I like it!" I told them.
We arrived at the Personalize it! store. Sean jumped out of the back and opened my door for me. He put his arm around my shoulder and Owen went to the door to open it for us.
"Hello. May I help you?" A beautiful blonde with huge boobs that were practically falling out the top of her shirt said. She took a quick glance at me, then Sean, and finally landed her eyes on Owen. She walked toward him, swishing her hips and flipped her hair with her hand.
Owen looked to me, motioning with his hand, and said, "my girlfriend would like to make some personalized guitar pics." Did he just call me his girlfriend? Well, if it keeps this hussy at bay I am good with that.
The lady looked confused. She looked from Owen to Sean, back to Owen then at me. Sean pulled my in close and kissed the top of my head. Then he looked at the lady, "can you help us?" Owen reached over and laced our fingers together. She was watching them with disgust on her face.
"Um, yea, uh, over here." She turned and almost marched to a work table with a computer on it.
Sean reached toward Owen, fist out, and Owen surprised me with fist bumping Sean. I giggled at how they were acting. I pulled my phone out so she didn't need to watch me pull my phone from my bra.
"So we have 10 color choices. How many customized guitar pics are you making?" She sounded annoyed. I guess being shut down was not in her plans today.
"10, each one different. And I also need to make a customized coupon book."
"Our colors are pink, red, white, grey, black, orange, green, light blue, purple and navy blue."
"Did you know they had those colors when you decided to make these?" Owen asked me.
"Yes, I saw it on the internet and was surprised they offered the exact colors I wanted." I told him. Then looking to the sales lady, "I have pictures on my phone that I want on the front, and words on the back."
She pulled up the computer, asked me to put my SIM card in the reader then began working with me to put the picture with the right color and what they said on them. The whole time Owen and Sean stood just behind me, one on each side, with a hand on my shoulder. They wanted her to know they were with me as much as I wanted her to keep her grubby paws off of them.
When I was done with all ten guitar pics, I asked about making the coupon book. She pulled up a different computer program and told me to just enter the information I want and it will print in the back. Then she walked away. If I had to leave a tip, she wouldn't be getting a very big one.
I found that there were background pictures to choose and places to add words. I picked one with a hamburger in the corner and a red and white picnic table cloth as the background behind the wording. I wrote: good for one homemade meal of your choice.
For the second one I found a picture of a little boy in a bathtub with bubbles stacked on his head. And the background was light blue with bubbles all over. I wrote: good for one hair washing.
For the third one I found a couple ballroom dancing, the male in a black tux and the female in a red flowing dress, and the background had music notes all over. I wrote: good for one night out dancing.
For the fourth one I found shopping bags over flowing and dollar bills all over in the background. I wrote: good for one day of shopping without complaint. Owen started chuckling in my ear. I had forgotten that they were both with me.
"These are really good! I can't wait to see what kind of coupons you make for my birthday." Sean piped in. I giggled and before I could stop myself he leaned in and pecked my lips with a kiss. I was stunned and a little nervous that he had just done that in front of Mr. Blackbourne. But as I turned to look at Owen, he was smiling his millimeter smile.
I went back to my task at hand. For the fifth one I found a bottle of finger nail polish with a hot pink nail polish squiggle across the middle as the background. I wrote: good for one nail painting session.
For the sixth and final coupon I found a fairy wand with stars all over the background. I wrote: good for granting one wish.
"Are you sure you want to leave it open like that Sang?" Owen asked.
I looked at him in question. "What he is saying is, are you sure you are willing to grant him a wish of his choice? He might ask for something you are not ready for." I blushed and shrugged my shoulders.
"Then he will have to wait to cash in on that coupon, until I am ready." I said with all the confidence I could muster.
Owen's fingers ran through my hair and I looked into his eyes. "You are amazing, you know that right?"
I swallowed hard as I looked up at him. Very slowly he lowered his face to mine, allowing me the chance to say no. I don't want to say no. He kissed the corner of my mouth, where he had in the closet, and I loved the way it made my stomach flip.
I pushed the send button on the computer to send all the coupons to the printer. The sales lady came out of the back with the first three guitar pics. "How do these look?"
They were exactly what I wanted them to be. I was so happy and smiling like crazy. "I would say that is a yes. They look good." Owen replied for me.
"How long until it is all done?" Sean asked her.
"About 30 more minutes." She said.
"Then we will wait." Owen replied.
We just hung out waiting for his gift to be done. "I think I need something to hold the guitar picks or something to display them in if he doesn't want to use them."
"We will go to another store to find that." Sean told me.
"A music store or a guitar store should have one." Owen told me. He pulled out his phone and began typing away on it. I was just enjoying being with Owen and Sean. I don't get to spend as much time with them as I do the others.
"Here, your order is done." The sales lady said with a sneer on her face. "That will be $37.76".
I counted out four fives and eighteen ones. She laughed evilly, "Are you a stripper? Who else carries that many singles?"
I could feel the tears filling my eyes as both Owen and Sean stepped in front of me to block her view of me. "Your behavior and attitude toward a customer is unacceptable." Owen said in his command voice.
"Some women have all the right stuff without even trying. And others, like you, try too hard and fail." Sean told her. He grabbed the bag with my gifts and they both turned to look at me.
"Come on beautiful!" Sean said as he kissed me on the lips. Letting his hand trail down my arm to grab my hand.
"You are absolutely exquisite." And Owen kissed me on the lips too. That shocked me. I know they are not to make the first move because of some rule they created. But I don't really care right now.
He pulled back and held out his elbow for me to take. Together, the three of us left the store. I will never come back to this store.
We got in the BMW and both of them were trying to sooth me. "I am so sorry you had to deal with that wretch, Miss Sorenson."
"You are being too nice Owen. Bitch is more fitting!"
"It doesn't matter." I told them.
"It does too matter. No one should be judged by the choices they make. It is no one's business but the person making the choice." Owen said sounding angry.
"If I am going to continue going out places with more than one of you at a time, I need to learn to let what they say roll off my back. No one else matters to me but the nine of you."
"You are right, Miss Sorenson. It doesn't matter what someone like that says or thinks. The only ones that matter are our family. And that includes you Sang." Owen told me.
"You are the center of our family, Sang. You are our heart. Without the heart, nothing else works." Spoken like a true doctor.
"I found a guitar store that is not very far away." Owen said as he drove.
"You just need a display for the perfect Gabriel gift." Sean told me.
At the guitar store the sales guy looked to be in his early twenties. He didn't seem to care or even notice that I was out with two hot guys. He showed us the guitar display cases and one had ten slots. It was a rectangular clear case with ten spaces for the pics. Five spaces on top and five on the bottom. Both sides were clear so even when it was displayed, you could see whichever side you want. It had a wooden block attached as the base. I couldn't have designed it better.
In the car I put all the guitar pics in the case with the pictures of everyone facing the front and the colors with words on the back.
"How did you choose to display them?" Sean asked me.
"On the top from left to right I put Owen, Sean, Gabriel, Luke and Nathan. On the bottom row from left to right are Silas, Victor, Me, Kota and North."
"It is perfect." Mr. B said. "What would you like for dinner?"
"How about Thai food?" I asked not sure if they would like it.
"Sounds good to me." Sean said excitedly. "Do you know how to use chop sticks Pookie?"
"No, I've never used them before."
"Then you are in for a treat! Why don't we go to Mango's? They have pretty good Thai food."
"Mmm, they have really good yellow curry there. To Mango's."
At the restaurant we were seated at a back corner table. We each sat on our own side of the small square table. Sean was to my right, Owen on my left. We ordered drinks. I ordered lemonade, Sean got iced tea and Owen ordered a water.
Dinner was good. I tried Owen's yellow curry and Sean's Thai peanut chicken. I got Spicy chicken salad with lime vinaigrette dressing. My meal was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. The spicy mixed well with the sour of the lime. I would have never put those two together. And after Sean taught me how to use chop sticks, it was fun to eat Thai food.
After dinner Owen drove back to Sean's place. It was dark outside now. Once inside, Sean told me to go put on my pajamas to get comfortable. Owen went into the kitchen to make some phone calls.
Once I was changed and had brushed my teeth I went back to the living room. Sean had on a t-shirt and pajama pants. He was lounged on his couch and I went straight to him. "Relax with me Pookie." I half laid on him, half on the couch.
We sat like that without speaking. It was nice to just have him close. We could hear Owen talking on the phone and he was saying goodbye as he walked into the living room.
"Are you going to get comfortable too Mr. Blackbourne?" I asked him.
"As you wish Miss Sorenson." And Sean laughed as Owen went upstairs to change.
"Like I said earlier, dangerous little vixen." Sean said as he pulled me up close to kiss me.
By the way I am sitting, I am leaning over him. To keep from laying on top of him I placed my hand on his chest. His t-shirt is thin and soft and I liked feeling his chest last weekend. I ran my fingers over his nipple and felt it harden under my touch. He deepened the kiss and wound his hand in my hair and his other hand smoothed over my ribs. I traced my fingers down the center of his abs until I got to his belly button. He moved to kiss my neck and my jaw. His hand lowering from my ribs down to my butt. I love how his muscles feel under my fingers and my favorite is the V leading to his waistband. From the way he is kissing my neck I can see his shirt has risen at his waist and that V muscle line is showing. I trace the muscle to his waistband and then back up to his hip. He pulls away from kissing me and traps my hand before I can trace the line again. His pupils have blown out wide.
"Not now Pookie." Then he hugs me tightly to his chest not letting me go until Owen came back down.
"Do I get to hold you too Sang?" Owen asked sounding a little unsure as he sat on the other end of the couch.
"Yes." I sat up and leaned over so I was half laying on Owen's chest the way I had with Sean.
"Do we want to watch a movie or play a game or just lay down and have a Sang Sandwich?" Sean asked us. I laughed at the Sang Sandwich comment.
"I don't know Sean. A Sang Sandwich sounds good, but we did just eat." I laughed harder. It is fun to hear the lighthearted Owen I rarely get to hear.
"Pookie do you want a vote?"
"Whatever you guys want to do."
"Then that is 2 votes for a Sang Sandwich. But the couch is too small." He jumped up, scooped me up in his arms and turned to the stairs. "Grab a chick flick Owen. Sean started with me up the stairs.
By the time we were upstairs, Owen was right behind us. He went to the DVD player and put in the movie. Sean set me in the middle of the bed. Owen came to the other side of the bed from Sean. They looked at each other and on no signal that I could tell they both jumped into the bed. As they landed, I popped up in the air and bounced a few times. I was laughing it was so funny and playful.
They both scoot in laying on their sides and squished their fronts against my sides. Sean called out, "Sang Sandwich!" causing me to giggle. He leaned down and pecked a kiss on my lips. I looked from Owen to Sean and back to Owen.
"I know I didn't ask earlier, but may I kiss you Sang?" Owen asked.
I just nodded my head. He kissed me with a smoldering passion. Lips moving similar to how Silas taught me. I could hear a movie start up but couldn't place which movie it was. My mind was too focused on the kiss I was sharing with Owen!
Before I could remember that Sean was right there, I felt a kiss on my neck again. I gasped at the sensation of two of my guys kissing me and Owen accepted my now open mouth as invitation for entrance. His tongue traced across my lips, across the roof of my mouth, and stroked over my tongue.
My body was on fire with the sensations they were causing in me. I didn't know if I could handle much more before I spontaneously combusted. I gently place a hand on each of their chests and gave a slight push. They both stopped kissing me and just looked at me.
"It's a lot..... I don't know...... I might......" I can't figure out how to express how I feel right now.
"We are being a bit too intense for you. You are not ready for that." Owen stated.
"We understand. When you are ready, we will be waiting. Until then, let's just cuddle and watch this girly movie!" Sean snuggled, laying on his side, with his arm over my waist. Owen mirrored him and also put his arm over my waist. I laid on my back and placed a hand on each of their arms that were over my waist.
The movie they put on was 'Notting Hill'. We watched and laughed at the funny roommate. I fell asleep as Julia Roberts character was saying, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me." As I dozed, I thought that I am just a girl, standing in front of nine boys, asking them to love me.
