Coming Alive

Chapter Five

Brandon's POV

To say I was shocked when Corey came home last night and seemed like he was back to himself again would be putting it lightly. I've been really put off by the amount of pain my twin has been in since the she devil left us for Blake and that isn't even because of our twin connection, because I've been feeling it for each of my brothers. To think that another bird is what is causing this change it's easy to see why I'm skeptical, but here we are driving to her house on a Saturday morning to apparently have breakfast then to make her house safe. Give me a fucking break.

        Corey seems to be bouncing out of his skin going on and on about "his BW" whatever the hell that means. "Brandon are you even listening to me at all!" Corey chirps knocking me out of my daydream "No honestly I'm not Cor sorry...what were you saying?" "I was saying that when were setting up all the cameras you may want to see if Anastasia wants to go get her bike." I looked at him confused seeing a small smirk on his lips that I haven't seen in months. "Her what?" I said blinking dumbly a couple times I had to have heard him wrong, but no he re-affirms that I heard him say bike as we're pulling up her drive way. For the second time in 24 hours I'm blown away by the size of this place, but the garage is what peaks my interest it's a perfect size with room to expand.

         We all get out of the car and head towards the door with Raven chomping at the bit behind Axel who is yelling at him to relax to not overwhelm her. Marc is in front of me as he knocks on the door a minute later the wind is knocked out of me when she opens the door. This is surely what I had not expected to see, she was gorgeous. She squeaks out something then instantly looked embarrassed, but this only causes Marc to chuckle then agree to something then asked if we could come in. I'm instantly hit with the smells of food when we walk into the kitchen I'm shocked at how much she has actually made....she had to have been up for at least 4 hours and it's only 9.

          I take this time when she is talking to Marc to look at her she's so small yet not overly short, but her body is amazing I start picturing her in black leather on the back of my bike gripping my waist tightly causing an internal groan before realizing she's looking at me now. Her features look perplexed then realization hits them and a beautiful smile crosses her lips as she says "You must be Brandon?". I'm instantly bewildered a bit no one ever can tell Corey and I apart especially not someone who has only met one of us once. I blurt out "How did you....nevermind yea sweetheart I'm Brandon". She seems content with herself like she solved a puzzle when she gets back to her work as the rest of the guys file in.

        Once the Blackbourne team members are here we all sat down at her table and eat which her food was amazing. She kept brushing off the compliments blushing a bit as we went along then started talking to Gabe about decorating the house. When everything was cleaned up and finished we headed towards the basement which was the only room she didn't want to change stating that she was happy with the style. When we got down there I can't say I blame her this room is awesome. I could see all of us down here watching movies, sports games, playing pool or just hanging out...where did that fucking come from I just met this girl. It's finally just down to the two of us when I ask her about her bike which make her eyes light up. This only spurs my efforts to make her smile more by offering to be her mechanic if ever needed before we tell the others we're off to retrieve her bike.

        Before we head out she changed into tight black jeans, boots and a leather jacket. Jesus she's trying to kill me...the daydream pops back into my head before I can stop myself causing me to groan internally again before focusing on trying to just simply talk about random things to her. I need to find out more about her there's this overwhelming urge to protect her. We drive to Kota's making conversation I'm finding it really easy to talk to her which is normally really difficult for me especially after Kayli. We pull up to Kota's house he had left her bike out for her in the driveway this morning and I'm shocked when we pull up she's got great taste in machines. I feel my heart stop when she swings her leg over the bike smiling at me before fixing her helmet in place and kick starting the machine to life. I feel myself instantly getting hot as the image from earlier is now morphed into not her riding on the back of my bike but besides me on her own. My jeans are suddenly too tight and a groan leaves my lips as I put the truck in drive to follow her back to her house.
