"Hmm, I wonder if she knows boss"

"Well, if she did know him, why would she be sitting outside?"

"Well, have you met the guy? He's not exactly the nicest person around."

Slowly my eyes open to the sound of voices arguing around me.

"Look, you dumbasses woke her up"A masculine voice further away says.

I attempt to sit up but a wave of dizziness hits me and I fall back down and groan. I'm overtaken by confusion as I wonder, Where am I, and why am I wrapped in the warmest blanket to ever exist?

"Woah, easy there babe, you might wanna stay lying down" A different voice advises me.
I slowly try to sit up again and a pair of hands grab my arms and gently pull me up.

I look around the room from my position on a couch. It's large and spacious with dark grey walls, and matching decor and as I admire the place.

The person who decorated this room definitely has great taste, I should ask them to do my bedroom, it's in desperate need of a remodelling

When I remember I'm not alone I look over to see two dark haired, muscular men standing to my right who look almost identical except one has piercings and tattoos whereas the other one doesn't.

Another man slightly shorter on my left and an extremely intimidating, large man leaning against the doorway.The man to my left grins at me and I smile back at him.

He's not as tall as the others but is still a lot taller than me with long, blonde curly hair and blue eyes

"Erm, where am I and who are you" I question them.

"Well, we found you passed out, shivering against the door." One of the men to my right says.

The man leaning against the door stalks towards me towering over me, before glaring down at me angrily.
"How do you know Sebastian little girl?" He asks me in a low threatening tone.

He has wavy, dark brown hair, tan skin and looks like he could easily crush me.

But I'm intimidating too, and I'm not even that small ,I bet he's so scared of me, I've never really fought someone but it can't be too hard can it?

I stare up at him tilting my head back to meet his— "Oh my goodness, your eyes are so beautiful, I've never seen any like yours!" I say excitedly, ignoring the fatigue in my body to sit up on my knees to get a closer look.

He has light green eyes that take on an almost sea blue hue at different angles.

He stares back at me looking slightly shocked as I reach my hands forward to grab his face, ooh his skin is so soft I wonder what moisturiser he uses, bonus if it's strawberry scented, I should definitely get some- he swats them away angrily.

"Get the fuck away from me" he says, causing me to frown sadly.The man with blonde hair and the other dark haired man begins laughing, even the tattooed man has a look of amusement on his face, I can't help but laugh along with them too even though I have no idea what they find so funny.

Another wave of dizziness hits me combined with the throbbing of my hand and I slump back down, "I don't feel so good" I groan,

"Yeah, but that's exactly what happens when you sit in the freezing cold and rain for hours on end, isn't it princess?" Says angry man.
Yeah that name definitely suits him.

"Hey angry man I'm kinda in a lot of pain right now so if you could kindly keep quiet that would be awesome"I say while giving him my meanest look.

He opens his mouth to snap back a retort but the nice, blonde one interrupts "I'm Jameson, and the twins are Elliot and Tobias" first gesturing to the tattooed one and then the other.

"Also angry man over there is Gabriel"He's smirking while he says this.

"Well hi Jamie, I can already tell we're gonna be best friends" I say giving up on attempting to sit and just lying down. "And my name is Penelope Evangeline Myers, nice to meet you" I pause "well maybe not all of you" this causes Jamie to laugh again and angry man, or should I say Gabriel, huffs.

"So," Tobias speaks up "How exactly do you know boss?" He's gesturing with his hands whilst saying this.At first I stare at him confusedly, before I trail my eyes over him then and Elliot and realise that the reason why Elliot isn't speaking is because he's deaf, and Tobias is doing sign language to translate for him.

I'm instantly angry at myself for not noticing Elliot's hearing aids when I first saw him and give him an apologetic look internally berating myself for being such an idiot.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realise" I say whilst maintaining eye contact with Elliot and signing at the same time - I'd picked up a few phrases from a class I took once a couple years ago and luckily I still remember them.

His warm hazel eyes soften ever so slightly and he gives me a gruff nod which makes me extremely happy and I smile at him relieved he doesn't hate me.I would Not be able to take that bless my poor heart.

"Oh, me and Sebastian have been best friend for ages" I lie, my face flushing, feeling guilty for lying but hoping they believe me, especially since it would be extremely creepy to not know him.

To be honest I'm a terrible liar.I just always feel like a bad person for not telling the truth and eventually blurt it out randomly not being able to keep it in.

"I can't exactly imagine him being friends with you" Gabriel says, before pausing to look me up and down, causing me to frown "you're,  how should I say this, not exactly . . .  his type".

Wow, he'd judged me already and We'd literally just met, there'd be no brownie points for him anytime soon.

"Well hate to break it to you, Gabriel, but you're wrong" I grin seeing the look of disdain on his face. "Where is he anyway?".

"I'm right here, and right now you should be leaving," a smooth voice answers my question.I gasp in surprise and look up to see the man in question standing in the doorway with a frown on his face.

"Heyy Bastian, you're back" I cheer leaping up from the couch, and grimacing slightly in pain, but manage to remain standing anyway.

"You're hurt" he observes, not moving from the doorway.
"Oh it's fine I've had worse" I smile, "Buuut, I might die from this empty stomach if I don't eat right now" I say as my stomach rumbles loudly causing me to to grin down at it, patting it almost reassuringly.

He remains silent before sighing and gesturing with his hand, "let's go, and you lot get back to work" he orders them.
"A please wouldn't hurt" I grumble.
"What was that" he says with an undercurrent of anger lining his words.

I gulp wondering if I'm going to regret this. But I raise my chin anyway and say "There's no need to be rude, and it wouldn't kill you to use your manners for once".

He scoffs and turns away walking out of the room. I turn around and wave to all the guys "it was nice meeting you all, I'll be sure to come back soon"
Jamie grins "likewise, butterfly"
And Elliot nods and Tobias waves I turn to Gabriel and glare at him giving him the evil eye, "Goodbye, angry man" causing him to grunt.

I hurriedly turn to follow after Sebastian wondering what will come next.
