House Valentine (GxG)

Chapter 1

   The sound of tiny feet sneaking across the bedroom floor pulled me from my sleep.

I opened one eye, spotting Max and Anna trying to sneak up on me, again.

As much as they tried, they could never succeed.

I closed my eye quickly and waited as they walked up next to me.

As soon as they were in front of me, I opened my eyes and yelled, "Boo!"

   They screamed and laughed as they ran out of the room.

"Better luck next time!" I called out.

   I chuckled to myself as I sat up on the bed, stretching, before picking up my phone. Checking the time, I realized I was late for work.

   I jumped up and ran to the bathroom, quickly getting ready for the day, walking out into the kitchen afterwards.

Rebecca was setting out plates of pancakes for the kids and herself.

   "Sorry to miss breakfast, guys. But, I gotta run." I said as I put my shoes on.

   Rebecca and the kids walked over to me.

She planted a kiss on my lips as the kids each hugged one leg. "Bye, mommy." They said in unison.

   I chuckled as I knelt down and hugged each one. "I love you guys, see you later."

   "We love you to." They said.

   I smiled and gave Rebecca another quick kiss. "Love you, babe." Then, I was out the door.

   "Love you more!" Rebecca shouted as I closed the door Behind me.

   I laughed to myself as I walked out into the parking lot of our apartment, pulling my keys out before getting in my car.

I didn't have the Corvette anymore, which sucked. But, we needed a car with real back seats and airbags. So, I sold it and bought a brand new Dodge Charger R/T, which was coated in a shiny, bright red paint job. Just how I liked it.

Obviously there was no way in hell I was driving a mini van, even if I did love my kids more than life itself.

   I pulled out of the parking lot and sped off towards Twist...

   Just as I was pulling into Twists parking lot, a familiar black Corvette sped past me and stole my spot.

I pulled into the one next to it as Wendy got out.

   "To slow." She said with a snicker as I got out.

   I flipped her off and she laughed before pulling me into a hug. "How was your weekend?" She asked as we walked through the front doors.

   I told her about my lazy weekend as I put my apron on and walked behind the counter, where Blake greeted me.

   "You're late." She said, arms crossed.

   I threw on my best puppy dog eyes. "I'm so sorry, it'll never happen again."

   She laughed. "If only I could believe that. Now, get to work."

   I gave her a salute. "Aye, aye, captain."

   She shook her head and waved me off as she walked to the back.

I chuckled as I took orders...

   After a couple hours, Jen and Kat came strolling in.

   "Hey guys. What'll it be?" I greeted.
