The Traphouse // c.b & b.t

Mouse Traps

"I wish I could go." Franny pouts as she sits on a bar stool in the kitchen. She had already promised Nezza she would hang out with her today, which leaves just me to walk into the gates of hell called Kian and Jc's youtube channel.

"No you don't." I chuckle. "Kian and Jc are fucking crazy."

"Yeah but we always have fun with them."

"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this collab." I whine. "Now, I'm running late so, I have to get ready."

I skip to my room and take a quick shower. When I get out I check my phone and see I have 3 missed calls from Kian and 10 texts from the group message involving Kian, Jc, and I.

I'll text you when I'm on my way, just running a little bit late.

I put my phone back down on my bed, and pick out my outfit for the day.

"Bye!" I yell and wave at Franny before running out to my car and heading on my way

"You'll be fine," Kian engulfs me in a side hug.

"Kian, we're talking about fucking mouse traps." I eye the ones sitting on the table in their backyard.

"You promised you would do this with us." Jc says.

"Mouse traps!" I throw my hands in the air.

"You'll be fine!!" Kian says again. The doorbell rings, interrupting our argument/conversation.

"Who's that?" I ask.

"Oh yeah, the three of us are collabing with Sam and Colby." He walks inside to get the door and my stomach instantly obtains butterflies.

"Oh." Is all I can say.

"Is that a problem?" Jc looks at me with a concerned face. He probably noticed all the blood drained from it.

"No way, this is your video, I'm just along for the ride." I smile weakly.

"I think Crawford may join us so it's even teams."
Jc says.

Kian walks back out to the backyard followed by Sam and Colby.

"Candy! Hey!" Sam walks over and gives me a hug.

"Hey Sam." I smile at him widely.

I look behind him and see Colby, chatting with Jc now.

His hair is a little messy, his eye bags are a little darker and sexier than usual, and I can hear the rings on his fingers hit together when his hands collide.

"Kian and Jc dragged you into the video too didn't they?" Sam asks, snapping me out of my, slightly hormonal thoughts.

"Oh yeah," I laugh. "I promised I would do a video with them and they chose this mess for me."

"I'm not excited by what I see here." He points at the mouse traps on the table.

"Are you guys ready?" Kian claps his hands together and walks over to Sam and I.

"We have to wait for Crawford!" Jc says. "He's running fashionably late."

"Probably slept in till noon again." Kian shakes his head.

I smile but also find myself kind of staring into space.

"You good?" I hear a deep voice say next to me. I look to my right and see Colby towering next to me. His blue eyes shine as he looks at me.

"I'm really good." I smile.

"Really good?" He crosses his arms.

"Yeah, is it a crime? Are you going to arrest
me?" I ask sarcastically and raise an eyebrow.

He takes a couple steps towards me and leans in. "Would you like for me to arrest you babygirl?"

The deep ness of his voice sends trillions of shivers all over my entire body.

My eyes lock with his and I watch his pupils get big.

"Hey!" Kian yells, which causes my heart to leap out of my chest. I look over at him and notice he's not talking to Colby or I, rather to Crawford who walked into the backyard.

I look back at Colby who had taken a couple steps back.

"Finally we can start filming." Jc whines.

"Shut up croak ass dad." Kian slaps Jcs arm making me laugh. I love it when they call each other crack dads and shit.

"Are we filming out here first or inside?" Sam asks.

"Inside!" Kian yells at the top of his lungs.

We all run inside, to get away from Kian of course, who had gotten ahold of a stray mouse trap and was chasing us with it.

I run into a corner of the room and feel my heart pounding when Kian comes close to me with the mouse trap.

My eyes dart over to Jc, behind Kian, who's filming us.

"Kian no!" I scream for dear life. His huge grin makes me laugh but I'm terrified at the same time.

"Alright that's good." Jc says and turns the camera off. Kian backs up and just throws the mouse trap behind his shoulder.

"What?" I ask, confused as ever.

"We just wanted an interesting intro." Kian says. Him and Jc walk away towards the other boys, leaving me speechless.

I stand up straight and gain my composure before returning to the others, acting like nothing happened.

"Okay, teams are, Crawford, Sam, and Colby. Then me, Kian, and Candy." Jc says. He and Kian sit at the dining room table. "You guys stand off to the side while we start the video and then you guys come in when we introduce you."

I stand off to the side by myself with the three other boys on the other side of the table.

Kian and Jc begin the video and I can't help but laugh at their crack ass selves.

My eyes wander from Kian and Jc to the others.

I feel my heart skip a beat when I see those icy eyes, looking right at me.

Great. Mouse traps plus Colby equals..... who the fuck knows.
