Them and Her

Chapter 42

The food arrived shortly after, they had already set the plates and utensils and were talking about their trip, mainly Nevaeh asking about their families and what they're like, it was a calm talk, with her sitting on Hades lap as she played with the rings on his fingers, while he massaged the knots in her hands, making them feel like jelly.

The doorbell rang, Eliot went to answer, taking his expensive wallet with him, he opened the door, took the bags and handed the delivery man some crisp dollars, along with a hefty tip.

He came back and sat the bags on the table, they were sitting on the soft carpet, and were too comfortable to get up, hence they decided on staying on the carpet.

They opened the containers and they started filling Nevaeh's plate with the different choices they got, her cheeks heated up, they cared, she loved the attention they constantly gave her.

A smile formed on her face, "Thank you." She kissed their cheeks, her red face reddening even more.

She noticed a pink tint on Eliot's and Jonathan's cheeks, w-were... were they blushing?

No way! They definitely are!

"Aww, are you guys blushing?" She asked with a huge grin on her face, her hand on her heart.

They cleared their throats, while clapping each other's backs, while also toughing up their voices, "What?! No, their was something stuck in my throat, yeah." They hit their chests with their fists to prove their point.

The other three men rolled their eyes, their expressionless faces looking annoyed, Theo bought her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles gently, "We'd blush any day for you darling." He spoke, his cold voice softening slightly, so were his blank eyes.

As they started eating, they conversed, mainly about general stuff and their work, not that work, the legal one, she doesn't need to know about it, yet.

After they finished, they cleaned up, washing the plates and drying them then putting them away, some time has passed since then, and Nevaeh decided on having a shower, it would make her feel better, showers always do.

As she went up to do just that, the guys decided to play poker, they set everything up, grabbing a bottle of scotch, they each poured a cup, along with some cigars. And so they started.

Nevaeh was taking her time in the shower, thats for sure, she was finally done with her period and so that made her feel so much better.

After a long hot shower she got out and lathered her body with vanilla lotion, did a simple skin care that the guys had gotten her as a gift then got dressed in her leggings with one of the guys hoodies, they were comfortable and they smell nice too, so why not?

She brushed her hair, dried it a bit then padded towards the living room, the door was left a crack open, it was dark inside but she could hear shuffling and talking, along with glasses clinking together.

She opened the door and immediately started coughing, smoke invaded her lungs, making them burn as she tried to get some air, it was cloudy, the smoke looking like fog in the dark spacious living room.

The guys heard her coughing, and so they opened up the windows to clear the air of the smoke, after she calmed down, she took in a big gulp of air, he eyes glassy as she walked towards Theo and sat on his lap.

"What are you playing?" She asked as she eyed the round table.

"Poker." Jonathan answered.

She pursed her lips as she heard Theo gulp down his drink in one go, she turned around in his lap, feeling something hard poke her butt.
