Vanilla, Cream and Strawberries (Unedited copy)

Chapter 6 - Unedited

The only way Arabella could think to explain hers and the twins sleeping situation would be a puppy-pile, she had the bottom half sprawled across Alex and her head resting on Christian's chest. Their hands were everywhere. She thought it would be uncomfortable both physiologically and physically sharing a bed with both of them but it was warm, comfortable, safe and most of all familiar. She also realised how lonely it would be once she was at home in her own bed.

"Mm, that smells good" Alexander murmured into her hair. It wasn't until he said that Ari realised there was a smell of home cooking wafting throughout the house.

"I wouldn't mind waking up like this more often" Christian added, attempting to roll over but realising he couldn't because one of their legs or arms were holding him in place.

"Erm guys, if we're up there.. Then who's cooking?" Ari asked

"Lou" Both answered together. Ari remembered the guys mentioning a housekeeper and she was curious to meet her.

"We should get up then" Ari said, but not really wanting to move from her puppy-pile. Both twins groaned but made no effort to move. The sound of someone running up the stairs made all three of them look at each other.

"Lou doesn't come upstairs when we're sleeping" Alex said

"But Ash does" Christian said groaning and pulling the duvet up over his head. Ari was looking at Alex for some answers but he just snuggled in closer to her, laying his head on her chest and laying an arm across her belly. It hadn't occurred to her until that moment, that the twins were all but naked expect for their boxers.. she didn't get time to process the thought because the door swung open. A blonde man around 6ft1 stood at the door smirking with the bluest eyes Ari had ever seen.

"Guys what are you doing in here toget.. Well hello there beautiful" Ari rolled her eyes and laid her head back down on the pillow

"Go away Ash. It's too early for you" Christian growled, clearly pissed that his sanctuary was being invaded. No one came upstairs but Lou to clean. That was one rule the twins insisted on. Upstairs was their private space, their bedrooms and their personal home office. It was off-limits to everyone but Ari.

"Breakfast is ready, and I want to meet this lovely lady" Ashton smirked

"Ari meet Ash, Ash meet Ari. Happy? Good. Now go away" Alexander added, speaking for the first time but not bothering to open his eyes. Ari played with his dark hair, attempting to smooth down his bedhead. It didn't work. Alexander and Christian had and would always have permanent sex hair. Ari nudged Alexander's shoulder

"What baby?" Alex was back to his sleep filled husky voice

"I need to pee"

"So ladylike" Christian added. Everyone started to untangle themselves from each other.

"Ermm where's the bathroom?" Alex pointed to the corner of the room and Ari wondered how she missed the door. The bathroom was black marble, it was modern and stylish. Typical of the twins. She had so many questions she wanted to ask them. Like why the fuck they had an orgy room? The bed must have been a custom order because it could fit all three of them comfortably with room for one more. And who was that Ashton guy? She decided the bathroom wasn't going to give her the answers she wanted. Ashton had left the room when she returned and the twins were sitting on the edge waiting for her.

"Breakfast?" They asked together. Sometimes it really scared her when they did that, it was so weird.

"Sure" She smiled, deciding the best way to get her answers was to play along. The twins didn't bother with shirts or shorts. So she decided not to worry too much about her lack of clothes. Once she got to the bottom of the stairs, Ashton and the woman she guessed was Lou stopped talking and out rightly stared at her. The both snapped out of it once Alex cleared his throat.
