seven souls seven sins

chapter 59: valentine's call

Natasha's pov:

I wake up to the smell of warm, fluffy pancakes. I quickly do my morning routine which usually consists of a shower, skincare, makeup and clothes. I grab my backpack and trample down the stairs. It's been 2 weeks and a bit since the football final and everything has gotten way better.

Life is worth living nowadays.

"Morning Adri." I greet him and he places kisses all over my forehead. "G'morning Sunshine." He smiles at me and prepares my breakfast. The aroma smells heavenly. The rest of my brothers walk in with pink streamers and confetti. "Morning Nat!" They all cheer.

I rush over towards them and we share a group hug.

I am overjoyed with a collection of "I love you's." and "Happy Valentine's day." From all of them. I've been smiling non-stop since the moment I woke up. "You're all so sweet." I compliment them. Adrien serves me my heart-shaped pancakes and I scoff them all down.

"Let's getcha to school kiddo." Vincent carries me off the stool.

"Hey Vince, can I talk to you about something." I ask him, anxious about his response. "Of course Nat. What seems to be the matter Princess?" He escorts me to a quieter place, near the garage. "Nico has asked me out on a date this evening, and I'd really like to go." The truth was that I'd already said yes, and that I was going to go anyways even if Vincent said no.

His eyes deepen and he swallows saliva which seems as if he isn't persuaded.

"Please Vince. If I asked any of the others, they'd immediately shut it down but you're the only one that might actually let me go." I even display my puppy dog eyes. After a moment or two, Vincent reluctantly agrees and I jump for joy. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I squeal and wrap my arms around him.

"I'm only saying yes because Xavier and Xander are both going out with their girlfriends too, so you and Nico going out as friends isn't a problem."

I pause when he says the words friends. Does he really think that Nico was trying to be my friend this whole time? I shrug it off and wait in Xander's car until he and Xavier arrive. Once they hop in and are strapped up we hit the road. "A little birdy told me that you two are having fun tonight." I tease them.

"We're going on a double date." Xavier sounds happy but Xander on the other hand doesn't seem as amused.

"You're going with Chelsea and Vanessa right?" I ask for clarification. Xander rolls his eyes when he hears Vanessa's name being uttered from my mouth. That's strange. "Yea, the girls picked the restaurants. We had no say." Xavier shrugs his shoulders. "All I wanted was to eat my Bacon Cheese Barbecue Burger, but the girls wanted a fancy ass restaurant instead." Xander groans.

"I don't blame them, if had the choice I would do exactly the same." I mention.

"Must be a girl thing then." Xander turns into the school parking lot. We get out and start making our way up the stairs. "Does Goldilocks and Flynn Rider have anything special planned, or are they going on a date with themselves?" Xander rudely inquired. "For your information, It's Seb and Flynn Olsen, and they're going out to a club downtown and praying for a one night stand." I elaborate their plans for this evening.

"To be in their position right now." Xander pretends to manifest and I hit his arm hard.

"Hey, Vanessa is right over there. If you don't like her that's fine, but don't say that when you're in a relationship with her." I critique his stupid behaviour. "Alright, alright." Xander backs down but red coats his vision once he spots who's at my locker. "What is he doing there?" Xavier abruptly asks.
