Happily never after {FINISHED}

Chapter 41

Steph's P.O.V:

Everyone seemed calm down stairs now. Jai had fallen asleep 45 minutes ago- with his arms lacing around my waist and his face tucked up into my neck. I laid on my back with one arm under his head- supporting it from drooping. Luke came up and sat at the end of the bed- he bough two hot chocolates with him, one for me and the other for Jai. Luke had Jai's instead before it got cold. I've never really sat down and had a meaningful chat with Luke... It was nice.

"It quiet down stairs." Luke sighed, "Things have gotten so complicated, huh?"

"Yeah..." I sighed, "It's good though."

"How?"

"Well... Everyone dreams of this perfect life... A partner, a couple of kids, living in an amazing home and for you all to be happy- If we didnt have this perfect image, then there would be nothing to fight for when these imperfect moments happen." I explained, Luke nodding his head.

"Imma quote that." He smirked, typing it into tumblr... with '-Stephanie Fox' written on the end, "Anyway," he coughed, "I dont see any of us, apart from you and Jai, settling down any time soon... And thats the way I like it.... Knowing I have Beau, Skip, Ronnie, James, Jai, You and Mum there for me... And I want to keep us 8 in a bubble-" Luke went on, and I couldnt agree more.

"Yeah- like Hollie for example, from my point of view, can't get in the way of mine and Beau's friendship... And from your point of view, sleep with your eyes open." I said, causing Luke to laugh through his nose. He stared at his mug of hot chocolate, using his thumb to caress the handle.

"Steph?" He started... here we go.

"Yes, babe?" I replied.

"You really like Jai dont you?" he asked, looking up and looking at the both of us. I smile, look down and run my fingers through Jai's thick hair.

"I do, yeah.." I said, not taking my eyes off of Jai's peaceful face, smiling as I sorted Jai's hair slowly into place.

"He really likes you too," Luke replied.

"I know.." I whispered, looking up at Luke and I sent him a smile.

"I dont think you do... The level in which he likes you on, is beyond the point of anyone really knowing." He said, looking at his little brother, well, little by 2 minutes. I smile and look back down at Jai, breathing out.

Luke is a loving boy, wouldn't hurt a fly. He tries to hide his inner feelings through the swear words and humping the other boys- but I think he's just given up on trying, being on the side of all the problems, so just doesn't care how people see him. To be honest, I loved sitting down and talking to Luke. I really did.

There was a knock at my door- in a hurry, I slipped on my shoes and applied more perfume. I read the time on my alarm clock in my bedroom- 6:05pm- and I smiled to myself as my eyes scanned past the photo of Jai and I in the frame on my dresser. When I was round Jai's earlier, he woke up and kicked Luke out, we spoke about where we wanted to go out for our first date and he sooned kicked me out too- not in the way he did to Luke though. He just told me I needed to go so he could make himself look good. He kissed me goodbye and I saw myself out- I thanked Luke for the chat and re-assured Beau everything will be okay, and if not, the I'll always be here to knock any bitches out.

I opened my front door and saw Jai stood in a casual, yet smart suit. He wore black jeans, a white shirt that was tucked in slightly, his sleeves rolled up and the top 3 buttons unbuttoned. His hair was brushed into a fluffy quiff, perfectly. I watch as he looked me up nad down and smirk.

"Hello gorgeous." He says. I pull down the hem of my black dress, which hugged my curves perfectly. I wore high black heels, making me the same height as Jai. I wore black stockings and curled my hair.
