A/n:
so I hope you guys like this chapter. I'm trying to at least but an update up for you guys before I go on vacation for Memorial Day weekend. Comments and critiques are welcome. I type all of this on my phone so if there are any typos I appologize and feel welcome to let me know.
Here it is as promised!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sang's POV:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I walk into the kitchen I head to the pantry to grab all the chocolate bars I have hidden away there. I pull out everything I'm going to need and set them in the island counter. Now, I want each of these to be personalized so I'm in for a long night. Since I am going to make them seperately I figure I should make them in the order that I met the boys. That means Kota first. Although now that I think about it I should text him so he doesn't worry and use the cameras to check up on me.
Me: Hey 52, I'm getting started. I'm okay.
His replied immediately as I began chopping up a big bar of milk chocolate.
Kota: 10, good, keep me posted okay? Did you finish your homework?
I hear the bing just as I'm putting the chocolate to melt on the stove. Satisfied that I have the right temperature I go and read his message smirking. My ever diligent Kota.
Me: I did it all at lunch except geometry. It's not much I'll get it done.
Kota: Promise?
Me: I promise. So who is staying with me tonight?
Waiting for a reply I move on to Victor's chocolate. Once done chipping I check on the already melting milk chocolate. It's done and I lower the heat and skip over to where I left the mold. Pouring it all until the mold is filled to the top I sprinkle some greeN sprinkles so they sink in a little and place it in the fridge to set.
Kota: Luke and Gabe. Be ready, Gabe said he needs to pick your clothes for tomorrow........poor you :/
Placing the white chocolate to melt I decide that I might as well add some more since Silas's and Nathan's will be with the white chocolate as well.
Me: Lol Meanie is going to tire me out isnt he?
Kota: Most likely. So......so what ARE you up to?
I nearly spill the white chocolate I am pouring into the separate molds mixing in the different food coloring a I ponder. Does he know? Was he watching?? No! Kota would t would he? I quickly put the filled molds in the fridge and then snatch up my phone to reply. I need to be careful not to sound like I'm accusing him. I wouldn't want to be wrong and hurt his feelings.
Me: Kota? Why are you asking?
I move to put the now chopped up dark chocolate for the bottom of Silas's chocolates and put on another pot for some milk chocolate. I was chopping up some more chocolate when my phone vibrated in my bra.
Kota: I was curious what all the secrecy...oh no! I wasn't watching 10! I wouldn't do that I promised! Please believe me...
Me: I know 52, I was just making sure. I'll tell you everything in time, I roomies. Ok? :)
Feeling reassured, I begin molding the rest of Silas's gift From then on Kota and I talk about Jess and his mom and just anything and everything. He even tells me about a new book he is reading. I can't help but thinking about how comfortable I am with him. Just talking to him without the fear of judgement. Before I met the guys I would have never been able to.
As I was placing the molds in the fridge for Gabriel I decide to put on some music. I haven't heard a sound all night so I'm almost sure that Marie isn't home. I begin dancing around humming as I work. It helped to make it feel like the time was flying by. Just finishing Mr. Blackbourne's and washing the dishes I suddenly hear the loud bang of the front door being thrown open. I know the boys and Marie are the only ones with a key so I'm not worried.
"Oy! Trouble! Where the fuck are you? We've got a hell a lot of work to do!"
"in the kitchen Meanie!" I call, I've learned it's pointless to hide from him.
I turn to see a ruffled Gabriel storm into the kitchen with Luke huffing and puffing in his wake. I wonder what they were doing but I squash my questions, it's probably Academy work.
"Hi," I say just before I am squeezed between them in a tight hug.
"I hope you're ready Forever. " Luke murmurs into my shoulder.
"For?"
"I'm going to make sure you look fan-fucking-fabulous for tomorrow that's why! And then I REALLY need to hit the God damned sac. " Gabriel proclaims by my ear making me flinch slight at the volume.
I am then released only to be swatted on my behind. Looking back I can see that Luke was the culprit. He wears a smug look with an almost far away look in his eyes when Meanie speaks again.
"Go on Trouble! 10 minutes. Take a bath then I'll come in to wash your hair. Not a minute more! I'll come in if your ready or not!"
They both chuckle as I stick out my tongue at them and turn to do as I'm told. Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kota's POV:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After I watch Sang clothes the door behind her I turn the car back on and head to my house. I wish I could spend the evening with my 10, but I need to watch Jess for my mom. Normally I would just have Sang come over to my place but Mr. Blackbourne clearly said that she had business of a private matter to attend to His exact words.
I can't stop my brain now. I know she is up to something, I could see it in her eyes. But for the life of me i can't figure it out. My mind was still on Sang as I walk through my front door, almost walking right into my mom.
"Sorry mom, I must have spaced out. "
"Oh really?" She said as she stared at me with the look I know know as her 'I'm not buying it but I'll let it slide because I'm in a rush' look.
"Good luck at work mom. Be safe."
"Behave and don't set the place on fire!" She giggles walking to her car.
I knew she would never let us live that down. I watch her drive of to be sure that she is safe. Then I turn and head to Jessica's room. Peaking in I see that she is curled on her bed with a book in her pink and lavender flannel pjs. She is so much like me that it's scary. When she glances up at me I tell her that mom left and that if she needs me I'll be in my room. My only reply is a low grunt and she immediate returns to her book. I sigh and shake my head as I close the door, just like me
As I am walking to my room I get my first text from my perfect 10. I am immediately nervous, and not knowing what to say I turn to asking if she has any homework. How lame can I possibly be? I slump into my bed frustrated. just laying there texting her, I got curious again. So I decide to just ask.
H r rey seemed almost as if she was suspicious. Then it dawned on me, she thought I was watching her on the cameras! Oh no! After a brief mom not of panicking and promising her that I wasn't, I decided that I need to distract myself. I can just get an update on the team.
Me: Update. Check it.
Mr. Blackbourne: Safe. On task. Progressing smoothly.
So it's the usual fory older brother and leader.
Victor: All done. George is whining but I'm ok.
Me: Do you need me to send someone over?
North: Practice is over. Heading out now.
Silas: Lol you should have all seen it! Jade was a leech all during practice.
North: Don't want to talk about it. Silas shit up. You drive.
Victor: No. I'm good. He's just in a mood.
Luke: Almost done at the dinner. It's slow. Slight hitch for Gabr but we are okay. Judgemental jocks!
Me: Jade will be handled soon. Victor if you are sure. What happened with Gabe??
gabriel: Fuckers thought I was fucking gay again! Called me a fucking fairy, those shit heads. I was about to beat a chicken shit when U clue stepped in. He handled it.
Dr. Green: Sorry I was finishing my rounds. Sigh Im bored. I hate paperwork but I'm ok.
Mr. Blackbourne: You will live. Don't forget our appointment.
Me: Good. Be glad Uncle stepped in. We don't need the trouble.
Gabriel: Oy! Speaking of Trouble, we are headed to her place in 5 min. I need to get her ready for tomorrow. She better be ready. I've gotta raid her God damned closet.
Dr. Green: I won't forget Owen.
Me: Who is staying with you two agave? Sang wants to k ow.
Gabriel: Luke.
I send her a text to let her know. Her reply has me chuckling. She may whine now, but I know when he gets there she will be more then willing to comply.
Me: Don't take too long. She still has geometry homework.
After an affirmative from Gabe the conversation dies out and I continue to make small talk with my 10. I let her know that the boys will be there on a few minutes.
Gabriel: She's okay, headed to the shower. Rest Kota she's okay.
How does he always know when I'm worrying?
Nathan: Dad's home.
That's all I need and I'm rushing to put my shoes on my reply.
Kota: Be there in 2.
Nathan can't get a damn break! I'll be glad when he is finally free of his dad. I reach the front door just as I hear a loud shattering of glass. Not needing any more prompting I kick the door in. Here we go again.
