Family Fanasty Pt One: Found and escape {ON HOLD}

Chapter 4- Surprises... Good or Bad?

I was so happy we had come a few days before the actual tournament, that way we could have some fun before getting down to business. Everyone had chosen me, since I’d been here more often, to show them around the city tomorrow night. We had gone to Days Inn, the hotel in which we would be staying at and relaxed and got settled in for the night. I had gotten my own room since I was the only girl on the team, the rest of the guys, including Coach Kwan, shared two rooms.

I was lying on my bed and getting ready to go to bed when there was a knock at my door, I sighed and got up from my very comfortable spot. I opened the door just enough to poke my head out and saw Justin’s face, I sighed and hung back my head.

I opened the door knowing he would want to come in, he swaggered in my eyes following but once I saw his sagging skinny jeans I squeezed my eyes shut; I closed the door following him. “Ever heard of a belt?” I asked as I walked past him. I made a show of trying to decide on what to wear tomorrow night but I saw him hastily pulling up his skinnies; I smiled then I looked at him. “Did you actually want something?” I asked, he shrugged. I sighed not really believing on what I was about to do but I decided to play nice. “Do you want to go with us tomorrow night? I’m showing the guys a little bit of the city, you’re welcome to come if you want.” I said, he smiled then stuffed his hands in his jeans.

“That sounds cool.” He said, then he looked skeptical. “Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden, two days ago you wanted to rip my throat out.” He said, I sighed and decided the truth was the best way to go.

“Because I might as well as get use to you now, since we’re going to live under the same roof right? And besides, we’re family now. That’s what families do, they get along. It doesn’t matter what the problem is, they just do it. That’s what matters most, they try; for everyone’s sake, even if it hurts.” I said, he nodded then grinned.

He looked like he wanted a hug or something and as if reading my mind “too soon for hugs?” He asked, I nodded fiercely; he laughed at my reaction. “Okay, I’ll see you.” He said, I smiled after him as he turned and started walking toward the door.

“Okay, we’re meeting at seven by the way!” I called.

“Fine!” He called back, I laughed; I actually laughed. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth but walked back out when there was another knock on the door, it was Charlie this time. He was wearing plain black t-shirt, black jeans and was bare footed; He whistled low when he saw me.

“Damn, you look good baby.” He said, I looked down at my silk pajama pants and my tank top stretching over my flat stomach ‘it’s just pajama’s’ I thought but I blushed despite on what he said and stepped back so he could come in.

“Come on in sexy.” I said, Charlie just leaned against the door jam and examined his finger nails; finally he looked up at me surprised.

“You talking to me?” He asked, I laughed and pulled him in by the collar of his t-shirt.

“Yes, I’m talking to you.” I said, I let go of him but he didn’t back away like he usually would have. I had to crane my head a little to look into his eyes, he was looking at me seducingly. I blushed and looked away but he cupped his hand under my chin and made me look at him. His lips were mere inches away, I gasped when he backed me into the wall; he just chuckled. “Charlie…” I breathed, he put a finger to my lips silencing me.

“Shh, no talking.” He said, he skimmed his lips on the sides of my neck. “Do you know how long I’ve been wanting to do this?” He asked, his hands now gripped my sides.

“Do what?” I asked, he looked into my eyes and hitched my legs onto his hips; I gasped and clutched his shoulders.

“This.” He said, he pressed his lips to mine. At first it was a gentle press of the lips, not even a kiss, then he mashed our lips together. He outline my lips with his tongue, I gasped and he took advantage of my open mouth to slide his tongue in. He might’ve went farther if there wasn’t a knock on the door just then. He stopped and set me on my feet, I pointed to the corner of his mouth where some of my lip gloss, that I had applied earlier, was smeared.

He smiled and was wiping it away while I did the same and answered the door. Surprisingly it was Lexy, a smile broke out on my face; Charlie came up beside me and brushed a kiss on my cheek then he brushed past Alexis. She arched an eyebrow and made a tsking sound.

“We need to talk about your bad taste in guys.” She said, she came into the room when I stepped back; when I joined her in the bedroom only then did I notice what things she held.

“Champagne?” I asked, she smiled and held out the bottle to me then handed me a cork screw.

“Open this then pour us two glasses bro, I’ll be back.” She said, I sighed and uncorked the champagne bottle. I searched the room then I finally found two scotch glasses, I had just finished pouring the second one half full when Lexy came back into the room. She was carrying a pink and brown duffle and a box wrapped in sliver, I looked confused by the box then I remembered what the date was.

“I told you, you don’t have to get me anything. And besides my birthday’s not for another month.” I said, she smiled and thrusted the box into my arms.

“And I told you it’s your early birthday, it should be celebrated.” She said, she took a glass and sipped it. “Well, go on open it.” She said, she was excited; really excited, I sighed and tore away the silver wrapping paper. I lifted the box’s top off and glanced inside, it was the full book, diary, and movie set to The Twilight Saga. I smiled and looked at Alexis, but right when I was going to thank her she gestured to the box. “Look at the bottom.” She urged, I furrowed my brows but I took everything out and laid them on the bed. When I looked back in the box I smiled even wider.

“My own laptop?” I asked, she nodded and took another sip of champagne.

“Yeah, I got some money from some family members and I decided to get you a pre-birthday present. I’m going to be sending you another one on your actual birthday.” She said, I just kept smiling like an idiot and took out the laptop. I laid it on the bed then I looked at her.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked, I frowned and saw how her face dropped; her smile faded and she set down her now empty glass.

“You don’t like it?” She asked, she sounded offended; I shook my head.

“No, no I love it. But you’re making it really hard to say…” I trailed off having trouble getting the words out though I had to “you’re making it hard to say goodbye to you” I said, tears welled up in my eyes as well as hers.

“It doesn’t have to be goodbye, Brieanna” she said, I shook my head and looked into her eyes.

“Yes, it does” I said, immediately her mood changed; she had serious mood swings.

“Fine! If that’s how you feel I might as well just leave, have a nice life!” she said maybe a little bit too loudly, with that said she grabbed her duffle and left the room; slamming the door behind her. I flinched then the water works bursted out, I cried myself to sleep and dreamed of Jaden and someone I haven’t dreamt of in a while….. Derek.
