Winning Her Back

Chapter 11

                                  Iris's POV
IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!
My kids awoke me this morning by jumping on top of me. Even Katie and Michael did it, and they are to big for that shit. Everyone was already up when I came down with my kids. Us adults watched and accepted the Thank you we got from our kids when they saw what we got them.
As the kids finish opening their gifts the door bell rings. I get up and go and open the door to find Austin standing there with presents. Also a suitcase next to him, and I was confused at first. Then I remembered our deal. FUCK!
"Hey" Austin said smiling then kissing my cheek as I let him in "hey" I said back a little shocked. But I ended up smiling remembering High School. At this moment Jacob decided to walk over to hang out. He swung his arm around my shoulders "hey Austin" said Jacob.
        "Hey Jacob. How are you man?" Austin asked "good" answered Jacob as they bro hug. Watching this made me think of when Austin discovered we were siblings.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and pull me away from Jacob. Not again I thought. I am pulled into muscular arms , and look to see Austin. "Mine," Austin warned Jacob "Austin it's not like that," said Jacob sighing.
         "Yeah," said Selena stepping out from behind Jacob "he's our brother," Selena told Austin.
          Austin looked to me for answers, and I nodded my head.

I laughed at the memory making them both look at me like I am crazy. "Do you two remember when Austin found out we're siblings Jacob" I said still slightly laughing at them. Jacob joined in on my laughter while Austin chuckled while rolling his eyes. "I still can't believe you thought that" said Jacob shaking his head with a chuckle.
"Neither can I" said Austin as we all make our way to the living room to join the others. "Kids, Austin brought you some stuff" I tell my kids, who are still here. Guess everyone sent their kids to go play.
My older two Katie and Michael glare at Austin, while the others just ran over to Austin. They all gave him a hug thanking him for helping me yesterday. The younger ones don't truly know what happen. All they know is their Mommy was in trouble, and Austin saved her.
"It's no problem I love your Mommy lots" he told them making the younger ones grin. But I heard Michael mutter "yeah that's why you left too" I gave Michael a disapproving look. He gave me an apologetic look in return and I nodded my head to Austin. He and Katie reluctantly got up and gave Austin a hug. Austin handed my kids their gifts he got them, and my kids of course were fucking happy.
I was smiling big at how happy they all were especially Katie and Michael. They will warm up to Austin I thought to myself as they thanked him again for the gifts this time.
"You kids can go play now" I told them and they all scattered getting their stuff. I stood up looking at Austin "calm on let's get you settled" I told him. Austin nodded smiling at me, he is in a good mood I thought to myself.
We went upstairs and I told him which room belonged to who. I also told him I'd give him a map of the house to make it a bit easier on him. He thanked me and I told him what the plans for today were. He had asked if Zero and Gabe and their kids could come. I said of course because why not the more the merrier.
"This is your room across from mine. Incase you need anything" I tell Austin opening the door for him to enter. His bedroom had a wooden accent wall with a king size bed. With a bench at the end of the bed and night stands on either side. His bathroom was a nice medium sized bathroom. And his face was priceless when he saw all this.
"You did a damn good job on decorating and customizing this place Iris" said Austin making me blush. "Thanks" I said we then stared at each other in a comfortable silence.
"Well I'm just gonna let you get settled. Also get those other rooms prepared" I say turning to leave, but Austin wrapped his arms around me. "Thank you for giving me another chance Iris Annabelle Hill" said Austin his face against my neck sending shivers of pleasure through my body. But I smiled and relaxed "night as well. You stole my heart long ago Austin" I say.
"And I am going to keep it and you with me for the rest of our lives" said Austin making me smile and want to marry him. Austin then left me go and I kissed his cheek "see ya soon Austin" I say leaving, but again before I could leave he grabbed me kissing me on the lips. I kissed back and it felt like High School all over again.
"I love you Iris" said Austin and I smiled as he placed his forehead against mine.
"I love you too Austin" I say.
