Ghost Girl Intentions (Book 2)

Chapter 19

Owen

It's been weeks since Luke and Corey left the house. Seans been keeping so busy I hardly see him, and when I do, all I see is pure hatred in his eyes. I tried to talk to him, but my best friend ignores me completely. He hasn't been giving Kayli attention either. I don't know when that stopped, and I don't think Kayli even notices.

The house seemed quiet more lately, and we aren't all together during dinner. The light the house once had dimmed, and it made me want to fix it. I just didn't know how. Most of the guys have been in single missions. We hardly got called for help anymore, and it's because of Kayli. We tried a couple of times to help others, but Kayli never got along with them. They tend not to look at us for assistance.

I heard that the Kalo team has been taking on a lot of assignments that require my teams skills. I don't know what to do about it, that team is getting favors and cash. That's what we need right now. Were back on track financially, but extra wouldn't hurt. Especially when we're planning to propose to Kayli soon.

The guys and I had a talk after Luke and Corey found a small apartment near the hospital. Brandon said it was time to move forward, to make our bird permanently ours. Everyone agreed, well except for Sean. He didn't say anything and no body notice except me.

We don't know when we're planning to ask, but I needed Sean by my side. We cleaned out Luke and Corey's rooms, gave Kayli one with the bathroom. She deserved a room by herself incase she wanted space. She's been on her phone lately, probably just browsing and buying things. I did see some open packages in the trash. Victor, always wanting to spoil her.

I sat at my desk just staring at the screen waiting for an email to pop up. I haven't gotten my own mission yet and it's killing me. I miss the thrill of being out on the field. I can't even remember when the last time I shot a gun, or intimidated someone trying to out smart me.

When the guys left the house, we had a meeting. Just us men, and we talked about our distant brothers actions. We tried to follow them, spy on them, to see what they were up to. Because now it's damn obvious they're hiding something. Victor found nothing, he comes up with nothing. No phone calls or texts that seem out of the norm. No receipts for restraunts or flowers, or anything that has me believe they have girlfriends.

A knock came to my door and I watched as Kayli peeked in. I smiled at her as she came forth to sit on my lap. "Hey. What are you up to darling?" I asked, she looks tired.

"Nothing. Just bored, what are you doing?"

"Just some work. But I'm done now, would you like to join me for bed tonight. The others are at work or on assignments. I can order us a pizza and we can watch a movie."

"That's sounds nice. I hardly get time with you." I saw her hesitate..she came in here for something. I put my arms around her waist and pulled her back into me.

"That's not why you came in here. Tell me what's on your mind darling and I'll fix it." She sighed and turn her body to the side to face me.

"I miss Luke and Corey. I miss you guys all here as a family. I miss when it was just us and we did things together. It feels like the family is slowing falling apart, and I don't know how to fix it." She looked lost and I hated that we were in this position.

"I know, I feel the same way. I'll try to have everyone here and plan something we can do together. Mr. Taylor Sr and Mr. Henshaw Jr will need to set aside their differences and make time with their family. Spend time with their brothers, get back on terms with their best friends again. It's going to take time, but I think they'll get there." I looked up to see into her eyes, she looked annoyed and fustrated. It was all gone in a blink when she nodded at me.
