Metal keys clang against the counter and I glance up from the fridge. Jax stands grinning by the counter.

"I brought company!" he calls. I raise an eyebrow.

"And by company he means my stellar presence and food." I let the fridge door fall closed.

"Kayla?"

"The one and only, Pretty Boy." I feel a grin split my face as she steps out from behind Jax.

"Hey Good Girl," I answer. Kayla wrinkles her nose at me.

"You are so lucky I like you." I reach out and ruffle her hair as she rolls her eyes and holds up a white take out bag.

"What did you get?" I ask nodding to the bag.

"I got you a burger. I lost a bet and owed Jax one. And there's fries for both of you too."

"Now this is why I love you," Jax says as Kayla hands him his burger.

"Yeah you do."

"Where's my burger, Princess?" I turn around to catch Dominic walking into the room.

"You don't get one." I smirk at him.

"What? But why? Kyle gets one!"

"'Cause I actually like him." Kayla holds out my burger. I snatch it, flashing Dominic another smirk.

"Did you at least get me one, Kay?" Ryder calls from the couch.

"Nope." Kayla grins.

"What about me?" Bash asks, tilting his head over the back of the couch.

"Second no," Kayla sings. Jax and I each take our fries. And Kayla pulls out three burgers and another order of fries. I stop unwrapping my burger to look at her.

"Kayla, did you get three burgers for yourself?" She hops up onto our counter.

"Yep." Jax looks over at her, rapidly swallowing his burger.

"Can you eat three burgers?"

"Obviously."

"What are you doing?" I question. She bites her lip and my eyes fall to the action as my hands refuse to continue bringing the burger to my mouth.

"I've got five guys, burgers, and fries." I lower my burger and give her a blank stare.

"Proud of yourself now are you?"

"Uh huh." She grins and pops a fry into her mouth. I take a bite of the burger.

"And how long have you wanted to use that?" Kayla shrugs.

"About six months."

"Well congrats," Jax comments before taking another bite of his burger. Kayla unwraps hers and bites into it.

"Okay Ry-Ry, Pheonix, go ahead." The two of them jump off the couch and sprint over to the counter, each snatching up their burger in record time.

"Mine in the bag?" Dominic asks. Kayla swallows and shakes her head.

"I really didn't get you one. I genuinely ran out of money." Dominic's mouth falls open. I grin wildly.

"Where did you get the money anyways?" I ask.

"I stole it."

"From who?" Ryder asks.

"My foster father." And she spits on the word father. I scowl, glaring at her shoulder, which is visible with the black tank top she has on.
