Catching You (Saving Ryder Book 1)

Catching You - 28

Sutton's POV

The sun shines into the room and I open my eyes to see that I'm not in my bedroom.

I must have fallen asleep in the cinema and Ryder carried me up to his bedroom.

Turning over I see red digits with the time on it. 7:00am.

I need to get ready for the meeting with Ryder's manager.

Ryder has his back turned to me and he's snoring lightly. His brown hair is messy and it's sticking in all directions. A bare back with tattoos are on displayed as the duvet has pulled around his waist.

Climbing out of bed I search the room for my shoes and find it next to the bedroom door. I put them on and walk out of the room.

This place is huge. How am I supposed to find my way to the backyard? I'd rather use the back gate entrance.

As I walk down the stairs I hear someone moving around. I head in the direction and find Ryan in the kitchen. Making himself some breakfast.

Ryan looks up and smiles. "Hey, Sutton. Do you want breakfast?"

"No, thanks." I look down the hall. "Can you show me how to get to the backyard? I have to get ready for the meeting with your manager."

"Sure," let me turn the food off and I'll show you." He turns the stove off and pushes it towards the wall. "When you come over more often you'll find your way around the house. Also, if you ever want to sneak in, in the middle of the night there's a key under the pot plant."

"Thanks, Ryan." I give him a hug. "I'll see you around." I walk over to the gate and open it. Closing it behind me I make my way to my parents house.

As soon as I make it to the sliding door I see a note stuck to it.

Sutton,
           Since you didn't make it home in time. We locked the door. You can find the key under the cushion on the far right chair.

I hope you had a good night and didn't get up to anything I would.

You have to tell me all about it when you get back from your day at work.

Love you.

Mom

The curtain in the kitchen pulls across and Miles stands on the other side. He crosses his arms and looks at me. Pointing at his watch he says. "What time is this?"

"Open up and I'll tell you." I cross my arms and wait for him to open the door.

Miles slowly opens the door and lets me in. "I'm in the middle of making bacon and eggs. Do you want some?"

"Yes, please." Placing my hand on the stomach. "I'm starving."

He looks at the way my hand is placed on my stomach. "Are you pregnant?"

Throwing my head back I laugh. "No, I'm not. Just because I do that doesn't mean I'm pregnant. I'm just hungry."

Miles head turns towards the house next door. "Didn't they want to feed you before you left?"

"Ryan was the only one awake. I snuck out of Ryder's room."

"Oooh, so you slept with Ryder?"

"No," I throw a tomato at him. "I shared a bed with him. Nothing happened between us." My face begins to heat up. "I didn't know I was in his room until I woke up."

"What do you remember before falling asleep?"

"Ryder and I were watching Fast 9. I fell asleep in the middle of it. The chairs they have in the cinema was comfy."

"They have a cinema in their house?"

A smile spreads across my face. "It's exactly like the one you'll find in a movie theatre."

"Damn," he whistles. "I wish I could see it." He starts cooking breakfast for us.

Once breakfast is done Miles places it on the table and gives me a knife and fork. "I hope you like it."

"Can I have some orange juice, please?"

"Are you serious?" He cross his arms and looks at me.

"Yes," pointing to the fridge. "Can you grab the bottle and glass? I will pour it myself. Since you don't feel like doing it."

"Fine," he grabs two glasses from the cupboard and the bottle from the fridge. Placing them in front of me. "I'll have some too."

I pour us a glass each and then we move to the dining table to eat breakfast. While we're laughing and chatting Mom walks into the kitchen. She's wearing shorts and a singlet.

Mom looks over at us and smiles. "Well if it isn't my children. How did you both sleep in your beds." She winks at me.

Miles smiles at her. "It was good to be back in my bed. I had the best sleep ever." His eyes move over to me. "Sutton, how did you sleep?"

"I had the best sleep ever."

"I bet." He mumbles. "Sleeping with the guy next door is one way to get the best sleep ever."

Picking up my fork I put scrambled eggs in it and flick it at my brother. "You're an ass."

"Of course I am." He sticks his tongue out at me.

Mom slides into the seat next to mine. "Kids," she yells. "You two are adults now. Not teenagers. Grow up." She laughs at our antics.

"Do you want us to grow up, Mom? You wouldn't have entertainment if we did." I wink at her.

"Are you going to tell me why you didn't come home last night? I waited until midnight for you to return and when you didn't I locked up."

"I fell asleep while watching a movie, Mom. During my sleep Ryder carried me up to his room. Where I woke up this morning. I snuck out of bed and came home. i have to get ready for the meeting with Saving Ryder's Manager. We're talking about Hayley Blake joining the tour in USA."

"I'll let you finish your breakfast and get ready for the day."

"Thanks, Mom. I won't be home for dinner. Ryder wants me to go home with him."

Mom smiles. "Sounds like Ryder and you will be spending more time together. Now that you're both back at home."

"He also wants to take me on a date. There will be another night that I won't be having dinner with the family."

She hugs me. "My daughter comes back home and it's like I'm losing her all over again because she's spending more time with her first true love." Mom kisses my cheek. 'I'll happily let you move next door. However, I'd like you to come home for dinner from time to time."

"Deal," I finish eating breakfast and then head upstairs to have a shower and get ready for the day.

Once I'm dressed in a skirt and white blouse I walk down the stairs. "Mom?"

"Yes, sweetheart?" She moves towards me. "Can I use the car? I don't have anyway to get to the meeting."

"Actually, I need mine today. I'll see if Miles needs his."

My brother rounds the corner and tosses me the keys. "Full up the car before you come home."

"I will. Thanks," I walk out of the house and climb into his car.
