~Three Days Later

"How did you like Germany?" Alice asked Nicole as she and Ada walked up. Ada was their little sister and was a year older than Nicki. She was born mute and deaf, which explains why Reece and the rest talked with their hands. Reece saw the way they got along and had Nicole take sign language classes to communicate with her. The good that was she could read lips.

"Hey, Ada. How are you today?" Nicki said, waving, making her smile and wave back as she begins to sign.

"She says good, and you?" Alice answered for her.

"I'm good, just a little jet lag. I guess that is what you call it." Nicole said, making her smile again and nod signing again.

"You and my brother seem a little be closer. What happened between you? Did he get you some dick?" Alice laughed as she told her what Ada was saying. Nicole's face started to burn as she covered it and shook her head no.

"No, we just talked about a lot, but he did ask me to be his girlfriend. I mean, that's something. Right? He took me out to Lucas's restaurant for a candlelight dinner and gave me this before asking me to be his girlfriend." Nicole said, showing them the bracelet that Reece gave her. It was the first time someone gave her anything gift-wise besides the hand-me-down gold bracelet that was her mom's.

"I know his punk ass spend a good penny on that. It looks like a Köhler original."

"Wait, they make jewelry too?"

"I take that you didn't know Xerxes and Elijah are jewelry designers, but yes, and that looks like one of his handcrafts pieces," Alice said, looking over the bracelet with a smile. Nicole just smiled and nodded. She was just happy that he cared enough to do something as thoughtful.

"You know what, I feel like a fool. I remember Reece saying something about that now."

"When are you going to tell her the truth?" Damian asked, pacing the floor of Reece's office. His siblings were driving him crazy about telling Nicole who they were. It was Reece's business to tell, and he would tell her when he was ready.

"As I told you before, when I am fucking ready. This is my damn relationship, and I don't need you or whoever to tell me how I should go about the shit. Why don't all of you stay in your own fucking lane and worry about whomever you are fucking and not me."

"That isn't what he is saying, Reece, and you know it. Nicki needs to start her training before you are married or fuckin impregnate her...."

"We not even fucking, and she has started her training. I started that before we came back to Scotland. Tomorrow morning, I will take her to the shooting range and show her how to shoot a gun," Reece said, talking with his hands too so Ada could understand. She rolled her eyes as the rest and Lance did, who was quiet, sighed loudly like Reece cared.
