Also congrats to everyone who picked up that Isaac was based of Sherlock! A gold star for you!
Chapter 31
Seto POVMy house is a little place out in the country about an hour drive from the airport we landed at. Our driver was waiting for us with a van that fit the five of us plus him easily.
It was amazing to see Brice and my family again. They knew I worked a lot and that I did an important job to stop bad people. Which I did. Isaac knew the fullest extend of my job as he was in training to be just like me.
Isaac is a genius. An IQ of 196 with a perfect memory. When I met him he was already walking and talking like he was grown up; hell he was only one! Anything he's ever heard or read he can recite back to you word for word.
Evelyn is a drama queen and loves her make up and dresses. She's five and seven months old but the sweetest little girl you'll ever know. Not as smart as her brother but more sweet and able to get people to do what she wants just with a look. It's impressive.
Isabelle on the other hand is the queen of sass. She's like me extremely sarcastic and cunning; sneaky too. One day she'll make an amazing theif and assassin. If she wants to be like me.
It's their choices to be like Brice and I or do whatever they want in the world. Whatever they decide they want to do is their choice.
Now my Brice. My husband, best friend, and lover all wrapped in one. God I loved him. He was perfect in my eyes. That soft blonde hair and amazing blue eyes had me falling head over heels for him.
Brice is an artist and my guilty pleasure is being his model. He does every kind of art work from painting, to sculpting, to computer animation, to drawing. He's really amazing at what he does. People buy his art for millions.
We pulled up at the house and climbed out. I gave a nod to the driver and walked inside. The house was simple and in order the way we all liked it. Since Brice and I are both majorly OCD and the kids adapted onto that as well.
"So love, the kids already had dinner before we came and picked you up" Brice murmured wrapping his arms around my neck. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist pulling him against me. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Not hungry." I exclaimed setting my head on top of his closing my eyes, "Tired. Lots of running around these last few days. Kyle's hard to keep up with, the jackass." Brice laughed and wiggled out of my arms.
"How about you make yourself something to eat even though you say your not hungry; and I'll go upstairs and run you a bath." I smiled and kissed the top of his head.
"Sounds perfect" He pressed a kiss to my cheek and headed upstairs to run a bath. The kids rooms were all in the basement so they had already gone down there to play video games or whatever.
So I found some leftover soup in the fridge and warmed that up. It was just chicken soup but it tasted good and I devoured it easily.
Then headed upstairs towards my room and stripped off my shirt. I could hear Brice in the bathroom connected to our room. He was humming and running a bath for me.
I leaned against the door frame watching him finish filling the large tub with steaming hot water adding in some lavender bubble bath. Instantly I was met with the relaxing smell.
"Hey didn't see you there." Brice said getting up and kissing my cheek, "Go take your bath. You smell like ass." I laughed.
"Gee thanks." He snickered and went into our room. I shut the bathroom door and stripped before slowly lowering myself Into the hot bath water.
Instantly I relaxed and thought to myself. What on earth would I do without Brice? He was my saint and my everything. He's the only person who'd put up with my bullshit and hey if you can do that it's true love.
About an hour later I dragged myself out of my relaxing bath as the water was starting to get cold. I pulled the plug and wrapped a towel around my waist.
I couldn't hear Brice so I assumed he was with the kids. Shrugging I blow dried my hair and brushed it to the side, kinda like how Deadlox has his but not over my eye. My hair was actually pretty long a bit longer than shoulder length. I really needed a hair cut.
Walking into the room I went to the dresser and found my red and black checkered pajama pants and a black tank top. I changed into those and threw my dirty clothes and towel in the hamper before walking out towards our balcony.
I've always loved the balcony on the second floor. Just because of its height and the adreniline I feel sitting on the railing. I could jump and break a few bones; or I could jump and die. Either way it was perfect with a smooth metal rialing.
I ran my fingers across the smooth thin surface of the railing before climbing onto it and swinging my legs over the edge.
Tonight was a beautiful night. The air was cool and crisp with only a slight wind. There were no clouds so I could see all the stars. I just watched them mentally mapping out all the constellations I knew. I could of sat out here for hours if I wanted.
"The longer you sit out there, the more you worry me that you'll jump." Brice called from the doorway. I looked over my shoulder at him and smiled tiredly at him.
"Not today. But I'll think about it." He rolled his eyes. I swung my legs back over the railing and jumped down on the balcony strolling over to him. "The kids asleep?"
"The twins are and Isaac is reading a book, actually I think it's the dictionary. Didn't wanna ask." I chuckled and wrapped an arm around him.
"He's already read that thing a few times, you think he'd get bored." I murmured, "But then again he's a Solace. And Solace's never get bored."
Brice grinned at the truth and leaned closer pressing his lips to mine. I shuddered at the contact and pulled him against me returning the kiss.
I ran my hands up and down his chest. Now Brice may the mother type figure in this house and expected to be weak. But hell no. Brice is ripped. He can bench press twice his weight and lift me easily.
To prove that point he scooped me up in his arms bridal style and held me like I was weightless. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck resting my head on his shoulder.
"You tired baby?" He murmured kissing my temple as he carried me back into our room.
Brice held me with one arm while the other flipped back the covers setting me down. I made a face and rolled into the blankets over to my side of the bed. I liked the side closer to the balcony.
My love crawled up next to me in bed and pulled me against his chest. I snuggled against his chest and closed my eyes listening to his heart beat.
"Good Night Seto" Brice said leaning over and flipping off the lamp then kissing my forehead.
"GoodNight Brice" I mumbled before I fell asleep
