Moving On *Completed*

Chapter 40-Dinner Time

Emily Pov

I have been awake for a while. I woke up, went to the bathroom, and brushed my teeth, but I just could not get myself to open the door. I have been sitting back here making sure I have everything set up for next week, and finalizing my plans for the after parties this weekend at The Spot.

I am nervous to go outside my room, but the smell of bacon is making my stomach growl. I look down and I am in plush and comfortable Smiley Face PJ.'s. The black rib tank top with a yellow Smiley face is comfortable and the pants are black with yellow and while smiley faces all over them. I decided not to change. If we are going to talk, I want to be comfortable since I have a feeling the conversation will not be. Alec and Phil texted while I was sleep saying they had to go. Alec will be back at 6:15 and Phil said he will be back at 6. I realized with Alec and Phil here, they are like a buffer for the guys. Being surrounded nine hot guys by yourself is unnerving. Add on my problems and what seems like their protective streak and it's just a mess. All that said, I want to get to know them because there is something with this group of guys that just makes me feel at home. Taking a big breath I open the door and head up the hallway. I decide to make myself known so as not to scare anyone.

"Uummm, Bacon. I love bacon. Who is tying to win me over with bacon?" I say coming down the hall.

"Is it working Sugar?" Luke asked as he winked at me coming into the kitchen.

"I don't know Sweetie. I am a hard sister to please. So you may need to cook more than bacon. Wait, why am I smelling bacon? I thought we were ordering pizza?"

"We decided to cook you dinner since you cooked for us. I hope you don't mind us in using your kitchen."

"No, its fine. I don't mind. Where is everyone?"

"It's just Gabe and I here now. The rest will be back shortly. They had some things to take care of." Luke replied.

"Oh, ok. I hope everything is alright." Why the thought of them leaving me saddens me, I don't know.

"Sunshine, bring your pretty self of your over here and let the man cook. I don't want him burning anything because he is flirting with you. Besides, we have a party to plan." Gabe yelled from the couch.

Shaking my head and sighing, I see a piece of bacon draining so I take a piece and run from the kitchen.

"Hey!" shouted Luke. I turn and wink at him and place the bacon in my mouth. He just laughed as I turn around and walk towards Gabe.

"So Sunshine, what kind of fabrics are you thinking about? I might have some that you can use."

"I am looking for some soft fabrics in white, barely blush pinks or soft iridescent sheers. My vendor is using the one she has for another event, and I am not sure what I want until I see it."

"I like what you're thinking and I understand. We definitely will need to go to the fabric store."
