The next morning I was woken by someone knocking on the door and then. "Jai, get your butt down here." Jai looks at me and his face pales. "Shit,"
I sit up. "Who was that?"
"Mom," he looks at the door. "She didn't tell me that she was coming." He climbs out of bed and quickly pulls on a pair of pants and a shirt. He kisses me before he walks to the door. "You should get ready before she comes back up here. Mom will be making her breakfast special. He walks down the stairs.
I pull the blankets back over my head and snuggle deeper into the bed. I fall back to sleep.
I am woken a short time later by my sister. "Chloe, breakfast is ready." Aleysa says. I pull the blanket away from my face and I look at her. "I'll be down soon."
Aleysa shakes her head. "The last time Jai told you to come down stairs you went back to sleep. He told me that I had to stay with you until you came down."
I climb out of bed. "Alright, I'm coming." I make sure to keep a blanket wrapped around me as I walk over to the cupboard.
Aleysa crosses her arms. "Are you naked under that?"
My face starts to heat up and I run to the cupboard and take out a dress and underwear. I run into the bathroom and lock the door. I quickly change and then walk out of the bathroom.
Aleysa and I walk out off the bedroom and we head toward the kitchen.
Veronica smiles when I walk in with Aleysa. She walks over to me and hugs me. "How are you sweety?"
I yawn. "Tired,"
She laughs. "I supposed my son kept you up all night."
Something like that.
"Mom," Jai yells.
She laughs and wraps her arms around her husband. She looks into his eyes. "I remember all the late nights we had. That resulted in us having Jai and the rest of our kids."
Jai hits his head against the table.
I pick up a towel and carry it over to the table and place it on the table.
Jai looks at me and he mouths. "Thank you," he pulls me onto his lap and he kisses me.
Nate clears his throat. "I'm trying to eat here."
There's a knock on the front door.
Carter.
"I got it." I rise and walk to the the front door. I open the door and see Carter standing with Ethan. "Do you two know each other?"
Ethan looks at me. "Can we talk about this outside?" He looks into the house. "I don't want Jai to know that I work for Carter and not him."
I walk out of the house and shut the door. I walk over to the stairs and sit. "I'm waiting for your answer, Ethan."
