Happy reading :)
"Our cousins?" I asked confused.
"Not now, but over break instead of us going to Italy, they might come here," He explained, "Dad says the house is going to take a while so they need a place to stay, they were already going to move to America at some point, it just got sped up a little."
"That's so great, we'll have two little girls in our house, I won't be lonely anymore!" I was so excited to have my two little cousins come to America.
"Oh no, not the girls they're staying with their grandparents," He smirked, "The boys,"
"Oh god," And at that I was dead.
*Lunch*
"Theo, Michael, and George," I groaned, my voice muffled by my hands.
"It can't be that bad," Lexi comforted me.
We were by my locker and I was telling her the news Marcus told me.
"Lexi, imagine three more Felixs. Except these ones are under 18 so they can legally beat the shit out of a minor and not go to jail," I cried in despair.
"Wait so who's who?" She asked again.
"Theo is Marcus' age, Michael is Melvin's, and George is my age," I said slamming my head against my locker.
"And this is bad why?"
"Because Lexi! If you think keeping Damon a secret from six of them you can't imagine nine. There is no possible way I could stay with Damon and hide it from them," I was getting heated trying to make Lexi understand.
"Don't panic," She said trying to calm me down.
"Lexi What if I have to break up with Damon?" It had just occurred to me that I would probably have to break up with him in order to keep this from blowing up in my face.
"Hey don't think that way, we'll figure it out together,"
"Okay," I allowed.
"Now about your cousins," She trailed off.
"What?"
"Are they cute?"
"Shut up!" I laughed.
"Let's go to lunch before your brother notices somethings up,"
"Let's go,"
We walked all the way to the table and sat down, I had no appetite so I quietly sat so as not to call attention to myself. The boys of course were being their noisy selves.
"When are we throwing a rager?" Brian asked, mouth full of god knows what.
"I still need to talk to Rosa, she wants to have a family game night tonight so maybe we can convince her instead of relying on her insane pills," Marcus laughed.
"Lydia why aren't you eating?" Joseph asked from across the table, dammit I had been caught.
"I uh, I," I couldn't think of an excuse before Marcus caught on.
"Lydia why aren't you eating?" Suddenly everyone's eyes were on me.
In that spotlight I had an idea.
"Marcus what were you doing last week?" I smirked.
"What do you-" He suddenly realized what I was hinting at and grew silent.
"Yeah I don't think mom would have any problems hopping on a plane to kill her hookah smoking son," I grinned.
"Who the fuck taught her to be such a snitch?" Marcus growled at Melvin, "You need to grow out of that habit Lydia,"
"It's blackmail, the oldest trick in the book," I laughed.
"No it's snitching and the easiest way to get your ass beat," Marcus said pissed off.
"Yeah Lydia, snitches get stitches," Melvin smirked and rubbed his lip where I had a scar from the time he gave me stitches.
"You piece of shit," I hissed.
"You're a rat," He spit.
"Family bonding time," Joseph muttered and we all couldn't help but laugh.
"Lydia, please," Marcus pleaded and threw a banana at me.
"Fine," I rolled my eyes, "What's with the bananas?"
"Shut up and eat the damn banana,"
*After School*
"Hey guys," I smiled breathlessly at my English group.
I had ran all the way from my locker to get to the library because a certain brother *cough* *Melvin*, thought it was necessary to give me a death threat speech before I went to meet with Damon and the two others.
"You're late," The girl, Cindy, stated plainly.
"Yes, yes I am," I plopped down on a chair next to Damon and he immediately took my hand under the table.
"So let's get started, me and Henry are going to do the majority of the..." I didn't pay attention to the rest of her speech, all I heard was they were all set this next hour and Damon and I were free to go.
"Let's go," Damon didn't even try to be discreet about dragging me out of the school library and the adrenaline rush from doing something I shouldn't was too good to resist.
"Where are we going?" I hissed as we passed empty classrooms.
"We have an hour before your brothers come out of practice and I plan on using every minute," He winked and continued to drag me.
We finally found an empty supply closet and he pulled me in by my waist.
"God you're so beautiful," He tucked a stray hair behind my ear. I couldn't help but stare into his hypnotic caramel eyes.
"I like you," I blurted, and blushed at how stupid that sounded.
"I like you too," He laughed and kissed my cheek. I was glad he didn't make fun of my weirdness.
"I mean it Damon, I care about you," I stuttered, I couldn't help but think of the impending doom of our relationship.
"I care about you too baby, what's wrong?" Instead of answering I pressed my lips to his with a new sense of urgency.
"Mmm, I like you a lot," He smirked and deepened the kiss.
His mouth dominated mine and I was utterly lost in him.
After several minutes of heated kissing we pulled up for breath, grinning.
"Is that what you do with your 'girl'" I smirked.
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Melvin said he doesn't consider you a threat because supposedly you have a girlfriend," I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah well maybe I do," His eyes twinkled and I laughed.
"Uh huh, sure, and who may I ask is this girlfriend?" I asked playfully.
"You, if you'll have me," He said nervously.
"What?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He grinned, more sure of himself this time.
"Yes, yeah, yes," I laughed and he pulled me into his chest tightly, kissing my forehead.
But I froze, remembering what I would have to do, he noticed and pulled back.
"What's wrong? Do you regret it? Because if you want I can go back to being your secret boy toy I'm fine with that," He rambled before I covered his mouth with my hand.
"It's not that," I laughed.
"Then what?" He smiled.
"My cousins are coming to America, during break," I sighed.
"That's great!" He said confused.
"No, they're going to move here, permanently, if you think my brothers are bad imagine them,"
"Then don't keep me a secret," He said softly.
"What?"
"Don't keep me a secret,"
"Damon I don't-"
"Just think about it," He said and hugged me, kissing my cheek, "I-I gotta go,"
He left me alone in a supply closet, stunned in silence. I didn't know how to process that, he wanted me to tell my brothers and I didn't know if I wanted that.
I walked out a little dazed and went towards the soccer field, I sat on the bleachers and watches my brothers play.
They had this fierce determined look on their faces, usually the faces they used to trash talk the other team. I imagined that was the deadly look they would give me if I told them about Damon.
"Hey," Joseph came and sat next to me. I smiled in response and continued to watch.
My stomach twisted uncomfortably at the thought of Damon. We left things awkwardly, he just made us official and I had to ruin it.
"Come on, let's go," Joe hooked his arm in mine and dragged me down the bleachers, practice was over.
"Lydia go wait in the car," a sweaty Marcus threw his keys at me and walked to the locker rooms.
I walked slowly and Joseph followed me.
"What's wrong with you?" Joseph asked.
"Nothing," I said and tried to seem in a happy mood.
"There's obviously something up," He frowned.
"Leave it alone Joe!" I snapped at my sweet brother, feeling guilty I added, "There's just a lot on my mind now and I'm not in a good mood, maybe I'll tell you about it later."
"I understand," He nodded thoughtfully.
"Thanks,"
"We can talk all about it after game night with Rosa," He laughed.
"Oh god," I groaned.
We sat in pleasant silence for a few minutes until we saw the hulking shadows of our brothers.
"Tonellis in the car lets bounce!" Marcus's voice boomed.
We jumped up and got in the car fastening our seat belts.
"Let's go see what Rosa planned," Marcus said grimly.
"Great,"
