When i wake up i notice caleb isn't on the couch so i get up and take a shower. Once i'm done i brush my hair and leave it in it's natural wavy way and go to the bag of clothes Calcifer gave me picking a cropped jumper, black skinny jeans and black vans . As soon as i finished changing the door flew open....It was unlocked this whole time!?!?! I think to myself I then see a middle aged woman standing there, I assume she is Calcifer's sister....Oh no. "Who are you?" she asks, what am i supposed to say, clearly calcifer doesn't want her knowing what business he, his sons and lucas do. "Um....." I have no idea what i'm going to day "Merial what are you doing?" I hear calcifers voice say his eyes widen when he sees his sister and i "I was looking for my son since this is his room, but when i open the door i see a girl who is this calcifer?" she asks "this...she.. um this is Caleb's new girlfriend, Avia gonzales." he says rushing. Girlfriend?! "um, hi" I say waving at Merial "oh, i didn't know caleb had a new lady, oh well lovely to meet you, calcifer where are my sons" she says "the living room" he responds look at the floor. "Girlfriend?! what are you going to tell Caleb? now we have to act like a couple until she leaves and I'm free!" I say to calcifer as soon as Merial is gone "I know I know, shit this is a mess, I'm sorry i panicked but i need you to do this for me avia, please" he says almost begging "fine" I say sighing, what has my life turned into.
Calcifer brings me to the living room "Merial i'm very sorry but Avia only got here yesterday and i forgot to get the boys to show her around, you wouldn't mind if we borrowed them?" asks Calcifer as soon as he says my name all of the boys turn their heads and look at me and Calcifer. "of course, no bother" she says and Caleb, Zander and Lucas stand up "um Caleb may i speak with you?" says calcifer, Caleb nods and I leave with Zander and Lucas "So calcifer let you out for a bit cool" says Zander "yeah he says i'm allowed to roam free now that caleb and i have to act lie a couple" i say and they both stand still "what" "its a long story" I say and i explain what happened while the give me a tour of the house "wow sounds a little fucked up" says Zander once I've finished explaining "yeah kinda" I say and we walk past a room from inside i hear shouting "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT!" "Caleb calm down I panicked okay!"
"As you can probably tell that's Calcifers office, and yeah thats all the rooms" says Lucas and we stand there awkwardly "why don't we go back to the living room" says Lucas
We walk back to the living room and Merial smiles when I go and sit on the couch. "So Avia, what a beautiful name" she says "Thanks" "your last name is Gonzales right?" She asks and I nod "Avia Gonzales. Sounds very exotic, where are you from avia" asks Merial, "My mother is from Texas and my father is from Spain" I explain and Merial nods "do you have any siblings?" She asks "mother not to be rude but stop being nosey" says Zander "oh shush zander I am only getting to know my sons girlfriend" she replies and turns back to me "siblings?" She asks again "three a younger brother, and two little sisters who are twins" I say looking down realizing how much I miss my annoying siblings. "Oh well I must meet them, I must meet your parents too" I freeze when she says this and Lucas seems to pick up on the situation "you can't" he says and merial looks shocked "why not?" "you can't because they are away, my parents went on a cruise, my brother is at camp and my sisters are visiting my aunt. That's why I came here to stay with Caleb" I explain quickly. "Oh well speaking of you and Caleb how long have you been together?" I sit there not saying anything, what am I suppose to say "a year" says a voice behind me and I turn to see Caleb standing in the doorway "yeah, a year" I say and Caleb comes and sits next to me on the couch, slipping his arm around me and resting it on my shoulders, it feels weird but warm. "Caleb, how nice of you to show up" says Lucas Turing the Tv on and we end up watching Batman the dark night. Merial leaves almost soon as it starts but Caleb doesn't take his arm away and I don't protest.

About half way through the movie Calcifer comes in "Dinner" he says and we take our attention off the movie, it's then that i realize that i'm cuddled up to Caleb, my head resting on his shoulder his arm draped around me while my arm is snaked around his waist his other arm over mine holding it in place around him, i don't think he realized we were cuddling either because when i move he looks down looking a little shocked he moves his arm away letting me take my arm off of him. "sorry" I say "don't be you were comfy" he says and he gets up and follows Zander and Lucas out the room "you coming?" he asks and I stand up and follow him.
