Only Them

Part 5

Maverick's POV

We are finally done with dinner. Eve begged me to let her pay for her meal but I told her no every time she asked. We are now in the car and heading to her house so she can grab some extra clothes. I'm hoping that someday she won't have to go somewhere else to get clothes. I'm hopping to make my house her home.

This all was different for me. Yes, me and the boys have had other girlfriends but I couldn't really see myself having a future with any of them. I can see one with Eve. I'm hoping that Jasper and Oli feel it too. This woman is a keeper. The way she can make me smile. The way she makes me laugh. I don't think I've had this much fun with anyone before. Other than Jasper and Oliver that is. But it's different.

We finally pull up to her house and she gets out and walks into the house. Once she is inside, I decide to call the boys. They both answer

"Hey. How is it going?" Jasper asks.

"Well, he are at her house now...."

"Ooh. You two are doing it already?" Jasper jokes.

"Jasper, shut the hell up and let Mav talk." Oliver says.

"Thank you Oli. As I was saying.... We are at her house right now so she can pick up some clothes. Then we will be heading back home. Is everything all ready for tonight?" I ask.

"Yes. I made sure everything will be perfect." Oliver replied.

"Hey, I helped!" Jasper complains.

"Jasper, you changed your clothes and brought YOUR blanket down to the couch." Oliver says.

I chuckle a bit.

"And I helped with the snacks." Jasper said.

"No. You started EATING the snacks." Oliver explained.

"Alright you two. Cool it. She is coming out now so I will see you both at home. Behave. I don't wanna see the house a disaster."

I hang up right before she gets into the car. She must have seen me on the phone because she asked if it was an important phone call.

"It was just Oliver and Jasper. I'm making sure the house is presentable for you. Then they started bickering like a old married couple." I quietly laugh.

"Well, with how I've seen Jasper act, I can believe that." She replied which made me chuckle.

"You ready, hun?" I ask.

She nods her head and I take off. It's only about a 10 minute drive back home and we talked the whole way home. Once we pull up to the house, she is almost in tears due to laughter.

"No he didn't!!" She laughs.

"Yes he did. Jasper peed in the corner of the classroom because he asked, 'can I go to the bathroom?'And the teacher said, 'I don't know. Can you?' So he got up, went to the corner, and peed right there. The teacher was just in pure shock." I laugh.

"So he was a real trouble child." She replies, wiping away the tears of laughter.

"I mean, we all kinda were. I was probably the worst of all but yea." I say.

I hop out of the car and open her door to help her out. I bring her inside and she smiles while looking around.

Jasper's POV

Oliver and I were making sure the guest bedroom would be to her liking. Then, we hear the front door open so we head out of the room and down the stairs. Eve still hadn't changed out of her dress so she looked absolutely stunning. She always does but I wasn't expecting this.

"Hey. So how was tonight?" I ask.

"I'd say it was amazing. I've never been to that steakhouse. I may have to go again."

"Well, with us, you can go as many times as you want." Oliver chimes in. "We go there quite often."

"So I've heard." She looks at Maverick. "Mr. Sterling." She giggles.

He just chuckles and rests his hand on her lower back. He lets her know where the guest room is and where the bathrooms are. He explains which room is which when it came to our bedrooms just in case she ever needed anything.

"Our home is your home. You are welcome here whenever you want." I smile at her.

Oliver looks at her and smiles. "We figured we would get to know you a bit more. Maybe watch a movie? Is that okay with you?"

She nods and smiles. "Is it okay if I change into something a bit more comfy?"

"Of course, love. Maverick told you where everything is. If you need anything just let us know." Oliver replies.

And with that, she went off to the bathroom. I look at Maverick. "You know, you really are a lucky bastard."

"I know. In a way, I wish you both would have been there too. It would have been amazing for us ALL to get to know her and her us." He says.

"But we all get that chance now. That's all that matters. She really is beautiful and seems like an amazing person. From what I saw at the races, she has drive and passion for the same things we do." Oliver says.

"She really does." Mav replies. "Guys, I don't think I've ever felt this way about someone before. I'm actually kinda scared about it."

"You? Scared? That's a new one." I say.

"Look. I've never been good at this love thing. I don't even think I've ever been in love. But this.... What I feel for her... it's something stronger than I've ever felt for anybody. I don't.... I can't lose her..." Maverick says. Oliver and I both could see that this was a fear of his. Maverick sucks at expressing emotions. Most of the time, it frustrates him.

"I'm gunna go change out of this and into something a bit more comfortable." Maverick says before heading up to his room.

"I've never seen him like that." Oliver says.

"Me neither. That actually worries me. We both know how he handle emotions. He doesn't. He gets frustrated with them. I don't want her being hurt because he doesn't know how to express his emotions." I say softly.

Maverick comes down just as Eve walks out of the Beth room. She is wearing some black fluffy pajama pants and.... My sweatshirt. How did she get that?

"I hope none of you mind. This sweatshirt was left in the bathroom and it just looked so comfy and it smelled so good."

I couldn't even say anything. All I could do is smile.

"That's Jasper's. I doubt he will mind." Maverick says as he puts an arm around her.

"Is this okay Jasper?" She asks in a soft voice.

"Of course, sweetheart. Wear whatever you want that's mine. I don't mind." I smile at her. It was so big on her. But it was actually cute.

We all make our way to the couch and begin talking about our lives. What we all do for a living. How we grew up. Our future dreams. We spent probably an hour just getting to know each other. Then we started the movie she picked out.
