Forever and Always

CH.2 A Deer In The Headlights

"No I'll do it!"

"You have done enough it's my turn!"

"Why can't you both do it and stop fighting over who will wake her up."

Hmmm sounds like fighting. Hump... something heavy just landed on me. What the! 

Tyler and James bounced up and down as they lay on top of me. "Wakey, wakey!" Tyler said in a cute voice.

"Come on get up already!" James chimed in. 

O.m.g! I could totally see them do the brotherly love act just like in the host club. Wait why are they? I have a? "O.m.g! get off and get out! My door was locked how did you.....?" 

William chimed in and cut me off. "The maids must have left it unlocked when they left. They are a clumsy forgetful lot." He pushed his glasses up his nose, "You have been asleep for sometime now, and we all thought you might be hungry."

"Yeah come eat with us." James spoke up beside me. 

The twins lay one on each side of me cuddled up to me as if it was the natural thing to do. O.m.g. too much touching, and way to much talking. My brain was almost on shut down mode. 

"Get out and I'll get up, and come eat. Just get off, and get out!" The twins looked sad, but William smiled, well smirked, but it was still done happily. Weird boys, and their so-called smiles and smirks. Ugh! This is gonna be the worst time of my life. Note to self, get every key to my room and hide them. Damn maids and their forgetful nature! Ugh!

After getting changed, and my hair brushed. I head to the kitchen, or dining room, or somewhere I'm not sure where I'm going. I just start walking down hallways looking for the food, that smells amazing. I turn down hall after hall and back track, and you guessed it. I'm lost.

"How in the world do you get lost in a house? You freaking move into a castle of boyish doom is how." I talk to myself sometimes.

A sudden voice at my back made me jump two feet and slam on breaks. Maybe they didn't hear what I said.

"Talking to yourself?"

Crap, he heard me!

"I thought you might have gotten lost. Here," William handed me a map, "this might help you. Although, instead of you wondering about like a lost kid follow me." William pushed his glasses up his nose and turned on a dime toward a large stair case. 

I held the map out in front of me and followed. "Sure master William, I'd be glad to follow you, and not be in this awkward predicament."

"Talking to yourself is a bad habit. You should kick it soon." William said over his shoulder never looking back at me. 

I kept my mouth shut as we walked by the stair case to another hall. I could hear laughter now, and the smell of food grew stronger. My stomach rumbled as we entered the large dinning room. The food laid out on the large table was piled high, and smelled so wonderful. Jordan cut into my drooling thoughts.

"Nice of you to join us Jessica. The twins said you would be coming, although, they failed to realise you might not know your way around the house just yet. I hope you didn't get to lost." He gave the twins a mean look. They in turn, blushed, and put their heads down.

I spoke up, "Oh, it's no trouble. I wasn't to far away when William found me." I held the map to my chest. " I have a map now, so don't worry about me." I found an empty chair opposite the twins, and grabbed a plate. Tommy, who has been missing since I first went to my room, finally appeared. His hair was ruffled, and his pants were torn.

"Tommy you've climbed the trees again haven't you?" Tyler piped up a big smile on his face. 

James leaned over Tyler's shoulder to get a better look at Tommy. "I'd say he did and fell. His knee is bloody, and he's got dirt from head to toe." 

Jordan shook his head. "Well sit down Tommy and get a plate one of us will place your food. It's to late for you to get washed up. I do hope you at least washed your hands." Jordan's eyes sparkled mysteriously, as Tommy scrunched up his nose and sat down beside me. 

"Why do you all pick on me so much. I hate this stuffy old house. I'd do better living outside anyway." Tommy pouted.

I giggled. I couldn't help it Tommy was just so cute, and he fit the little brother roll perfectly. He was like the little boy on old yeller. All Tommy needed was a golden retriever puppy, and a bowl of milk and bread. The dirt smudges on his face made it so much cuter.

His eyes shot to me. "I want some chicken and a roll. I don't want anything green or vegetables. Just meat and bread." He looked around, "Please." He whispered.

"Sure." I fixed Tommy a plate of meat and set a couple of rolls on the side. All the brothers watched as Tommy checked over his plate. 

"You'll do." He started munching, and when the others let out their held breaths, it was like a giant sigh.

I fixed my plate, while they made up their minds to eat or not. I was starving and piled my plate up. I really didn't care what they thought. Food is food.

The food was so good. Cream corn, mashed potatoes, home-baked mac and cheese, green beans, chicken fried and grilled, beef cubed steak and, a large ham with pineapples and cherries, all kinds of fruits and salads lined the table. I was in heaven. Give me a book and set this food in the middle of my bed and lock my room door, and I'd be set for life. 

Tommy sat amazed at how much I enjoyed the veggies, and fruits. Then he tried some his self. He ended up eating potatoes, and cream corn along with a strawberry fruit salad. The twins looked amazed at just that. William sat back and watched the twins fuss over Tommy, and what food he had decided he liked. Jordan just ate like nothing was happening. I could careless what they thought of my eating habits, right now the food was just to good to pick at. I could be happy here if this was dinner every night. I think I'm starting to warm up to this place.
