A/N: hey guys, I'm sorry it took me so long to publish again. Since the holidays are over I have less time to write. But I'll try to write at least once a week and publish in the weekends. Also this chapter is more of a filler, but they gotta get to know each other better. ENJOY READING AND LEAVE COMMENTS <3

Keith's pov

"You're cheating!" I said accusing and threw my cards on the table. He laughed at me with a mischievous look in his eyes. "I'm not! You're just not holding the cards right, I can see them without trying my best!" He said causing Toby and Drake to join him in laughter while Lucy and Sam were helping their mom with baking eggs and bacon.

I had no idea what time we went to bed, but it felt way too early when Rachel had called us downstairs for brunch at half past twelve. I yawned as the cards were put away and Damon's dad, Philip, put down plates, culery and glasses.

Sam put down a plate with a pile of bacon and Lucy had a bowl with scrumbled eggs. As soon as everyone sat down we attacked the food as if we were wild animals who had been starving for days.

"And what is everyone doing today?" Rachel asked looking at each one of us. "Actually yes, I have something mom!" Drake said drawing all the attention to himself. "Today i'll be looking at an apartment with Jake, it's a few miles away from here but close enough to noth our family's." He said obviously proud of himself.
Rachel clasped her hands together. "That's great!" She said. "You better keep yourself to your budget cause you're not getting a single penny from us after that little stunt with your car." His father added stern.

Drake rolled his eyes. "Yeah dad, it's below our budget." He said annoyed and gorged his eggs before jumping up. "I gotta go, we're supposed to meet there. See you later!" He said and left.

"Keith and I are heading out for the park." Damon said and I gave him a suprised look. "We are?" I asked with my fork full of eggs on the way to my mouth. He nodded causing the rest to laugh. "Oh." I said and put the eggs in my mouth.

"I wanna go to the park too!" Sam whined and Rachel sighed. "We'll take you to the park some other time." I reassured him. "We are?" Damon repeated my sentence. "Yes we are, but not today." I decided and that put a wide smile at Sam's face.

"Sam, you and Lucy could come with me to the mall." Tony offered. "Are you going with Nathaniel?" Lucy said with sparkling eyes making Tony chuckle. "Yes, Nate is coming along." Lucy squeaked at excitement. "She has a crush on him." Damon cared to explain and Lucy gave him a nasty look.

"Can you ask if Nate will bring his sister Jenna? She is my best friend forever." Same said and my heart melted at his cute face. Sometimes I wished I had a baby brother, but my mother had several miscarriages after I was born so I never had one.

"Sure, I'll ask." Tony said with a shrug.

"Okay, anyways, Keith and I will be going, bye!" He said and grabbed my arm yanking me along on his way upstairs. "Shouldn't we have helped with cleaning?" I asked with raised brows when we made it to his room. "Nope, they'll manage." He said with a smile. In turn we took showers and got dressed.

When I came out of the bathroom Damon was packing a small backpack with paper, pens, a bag of crisps and a bottle of water and I added a few pencils and he gave me a smile with a bit of suprise in his eyes.

"You draw?" He asked curious and I nodded feeling how my cheeks flushed. I never really talked about my drawing and I never felt the necessarity of telling him. "That's awesome!" He said and his compliment touched me.
"You haven't seen any of my stuff." I said soft and he shrugged. "I'm sure your skills are way better than mine. I'm better with words I guess." He said lifting the bag on his shouldefs and leaving the room.
