Playing Princess

16. Home sweet home

Conner's pov

It took me almost a full day to convince Mateo to come with me back home to see my brothers. He first said yes to me going by myself but then I wanted him to come so that took some extra convincing. 

Now we are about 20 minutes away from my house. 

He picks up my hand from the center console and he interlocks our fingers, bringing my hand up to his lips. 

My heart does little flips. 

I see my house and I get excited. We pull into the driveway and I am quick to jump out of my seat. Mateo takes his sweat old time. 

I run up to the front door and knock loudly, making sure someone heard me. All the cars are in the driveway so someone should be home. 

Mateo finally catches up to me and stands behind me, waiting for the door to open. I can barely contain my excitement. 

What happens if they open the door and don't recognize me. They could have forgotten all about me. 

The door opens and Finn just stands there in shock. 

He quickly hugs me and lifts me off the ground, twirling me around. I have never felt happier.

"About damn time" He squeezes me even tighter. He puts me back down on my feet. 

He finally notices Mateo who just stands there. Finn holds out his hand and Mateo shakes it. "I'm Finn" He introduces himself. "Mateo" He responds. 

Wow, my semi-boyfriend thing shaking hands with my brother. 

We still haven't put a label on it. 

Finn takes his hand back and I hear Dawson pounding down the stairs. 

As soon as he see's me he rushes over and hugs me. 

He pulls away from the hug and I see Jacob coming out of the kitchen. 

"Hide the pickles, Conner's home" He teases. He has been saying that ever since I ate an entire jar of pickles one night when I was sad. They were good pickles. 

He gives me a short hug since he isn't the most social and I love that about him. Longer hugs for other people. 

Dawson and Jacob take their turns introducing themselves to Mateo. He still hasn't said a word other than his name. 

We all walk into the house and my nose is immediately swarmed with mothers cooking. Oh how dearly I have missed it. 

I rush into the kitchen and see her standing at the stove stirring something in a pot and father sitting at the table reading the news paper. 

Mother's face lights up when she see's me and she drops the stick to come hug me. Her small frame hugs me tightly like I just returned home from the war. I hug her back of course. 

She lets go of me and father stands up from the table, walking over to me in shock. 

He doesn't say anything and just hugs me. He's a little taller than me, unlike mother who is a couple of inches shorter than me. She says that's why I am only 5'3 while my brothers range from 5'10 to 6'2. 

I don't mind being the shortest sibling but I hate it when all 3 of them make fun of me for being short. They are a bunch of arseholes. 

He pulls away from the hug and just looks at me "Gosh darn, I have missed my little ladybug" 

My nickname he has called me ever since he found out my mother was having a girl. 

Mateo walks in behind us and I walk to stand beside him. He has his hands in his front pockets making him look so hot. He also has a hoodie on with his hair in its normal way. 

I chose to wear a t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts with my hair in a single braid going down my back. 

All my brothers  come into the room and we all take a seat around the table that still fits us all.

Mateo sits next to me and he scoots my chair a little closer to his, making our legs touch. 

"So Conner, are you and Mateo a thing" Dawson asks. How in the world do I reply to this. I don't even know what we are. 

"Nope, we are just friends" I stutter and in the corner of my eye I see Mateo narrow his eyebrows a little bit. 

Dawson just nods and continue's eating. 

~~~

I flop down on my bed and Mateo lays down beside me.

"Just friends, huh?" He utters as his hand comes up to my hip. "what else was I suppose to say, it's not like we have a label on it yet" I defend myself the best I can. 

"Will you be my girlfriend than" He asks. "I want it to be a surprise" I turn to my side so I am facing him. He lays, also on his side, holding his head up by his arm. 

His hand lifts up my t-shirt and slides his hand under, resting it on my stomach. He draws little shapes on my bare stomach. I notice he does that a lot, draw little things on me with his fingers. 

"Okay" He sighs "But would a friend do this" He smirks before putting his lips on mine softly. He turns his head a bit and deepens the kiss. His tongue slides into my mouth. 

His hand that is on my stomach goes down to my leg and pulls me onto his lap. 

My hands grab the sides of his face while his hand sits right above my booty. 

I pull away to catch my breath and he smirks. 

"Can I show you around the town" I randomly ask him. I want to show him all my favourite places to go here. 

"Sure, I would love that" He nods and kisses my neck. 

His kisses go from my neck back to my mouth, turning into another small make out session. I think some one is horny today. 

What if it was something in the food. Oh no. 

I pull away again and just look at him. I kiss him on the forehead and he kisses mine in return. 

I crawl off his lap which he doesn't seem to happy about since his smirk fades away. 

"Let's go to the coffee shop first" I suggest and pull him off the bed by his hand. 

He stands and pulls me back into him by my hand. I wrap my arms around his torso.

He smells so good. I still really want to know what cologne he uses. I'm adding that to my bucket list. 

Get Mateo's cologne name.
