Original Idea By: Maha
I woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. Groaning, I climbed out of my bed and stretched. I glanced at the wall clock to see it was only 7:10 in the morning! Who the hell could be here this early in the morning? I decided not to wake up Jake in the other room, and grabbed my bat in the closet. Slowly walking down the stairs, I winced as the doorbell continued to ring. I felt as if I was in a horror movie, ready to be attacked by a bloody murderer.
My hand rested on the knob of the front door, and I leaned closer to the small window on the side to see who it was. For summer, it was still pretty dark out. My heart skipped a few beats and I jumped when a deep voice startled me.
"Yo! OPEN THE DOOR, I CAN SEE YOUR SHADOW BRO!" Oh, so this guy was those burglar type criminals, huh? Trying to scare me, nothing scares me.... almost nothing. Still, if he wants to play, I'll give him a game to play.
Without a second thought, I swung open the door, and lifted my bat above me, smacking it right on the side of the man's stomach. The guy crouched over and fell to the floor, clutching his side as he groaned. "Fucking s-shit!" He screamed.
The next thing I knew, footsteps came running down the stairs as I stood in front of the door, wide-eyed.
"What the hell hap" Jake paused his groggy voice once he saw the man on the concrete floor, on the porch. He glanced at me, wide-eyed and shocked, then looked back at the man. "Rose." He started, his voice serious and strict.
"Yes?" I squeaked out, scared he would yell at me for hitting a random stranger.
His eyes traveled to my bat, "Did you, in any way, smack my brother with that bat?" He looked me dead in the eyes.
My jaw hung low, as I accidentally dropped the bat on his foot. Ignoring Jake's groans of agony, I blinked in shock.B-brother?!I started to hyperventilate, taking deep, shaky breaths every then and now. I stared at Jake's so-called brotherin pity.
"I am sooo sorry!" I trailed off, helping him off the porch. "I thought you were a thief, or robber, or murderer or something! I d-didn't know you were J-Jake's b-brother!" I felt Jake stand up behind me, and stare at his brother.
"I-It's cool." His brother stammered. "You have a pretty tough fiancee there, Jake bro." He chuckled weakly towards Jake, Jake snickering in return. "I'm Blake, by the way." He held his hand out for me to take. I shook it and nodded slowly, ashamed of my earlier actions.
"R-Rose." I sputtered. "You may come in." I numbly stepped aside to give Blake room to come inside the mansion.
Jake turned to his brother, "What are you doing here?Thisearly in the morning?! Do you see how dark it is outside still?!!" He yelled, his eyes droopy.
Blake shrugged, "I just thought I'd stop by and see how my little bro is doing, as well as my soon to be younger sister-in-law." He winked in my direction, causing me to smile apologetically. Blake smiled back, "No worries. I'm fine. But, you're fiancee's got a lot of... imagination there." He smirked.
I yawned, picking up my bat and walking back upstairs, after telling them I'd be changing. I took a quick five-minute hot shower, shampooing my hair and washing my body with Vanilla scented body-wash. When I stepped out in my towel, I took my time on putting on a new batchof clothes for the day. After drying my hair, and doing the rest of my morning routine, I walked downstairs into the kitchen.
Seeing that Jake and Blake were chatting away, I began to cook our morning meals. A few moments passed by until two strong arms wrapped around my waist, their lips connecting with my cheek. "Morning babe."
I smiled, "Good morning Jake." The feeling of his hands began to travel towards my bare stomach, but I slapped his hands away before he reached there. "Stop. We're in public."
"Sorry." He mumbled, pecking my neck.
Breakfast went by pretty fast. Blake and I had a few conversations here and there. After a while, I got a text from Kriti asking if she could come over. I replied to her with our address, waiting for her to come as the three of us started to talk about stupid things again. Then, Jake and Blake started to dirty-talk in front of me. How? Well, let's just say Blake started congratulating Jake on getting a girl with avery nice body.I'd rather not go into details.
It wasn't a few minutes after breakfast, that our doorbell rang...again.Sighing, I went up to the front of the house and opened the door, letting Kriti come in.
"Wow. Nice house, it's pretty big too." She stared at the walls in the house.
"Thanks." I led her into the living room, where everyone else was. I coughed, grabbing Jake and his brother's attention.
"You guys, this is Kriti, one of my good friends. Kriti, this is my fiancee Jake, and his older brother, Blake."
I stared at Kriti and Blake, who were giving each other goofy smiles. Ohhh, crushing already? Huh, looks like today will be a busy day for me.
And by busy, I mean beingWing-Man. Or in my case, "WingWoman"
