Secret Moments

I run down the stairs, looking over my shoulder as I reach the bottom.  I duck around the corner and try to outrun the man behind me.  I feel strong arms wrap around my waist, I let out a squeal as the arms pull me close.  I turn in the grasp, looking up into the handsome face.  "Told you I'd catch you."  

I try to scowl, "You're a jerk, Kayden."  I look up my green eyes, meeting his blue ones.  "A handsome jerk, but a jerk none the less."  He raises an eyebrow at me before bending down and pressing his mouth against mine.  I kiss him back for a moment before, pulling away.  "Hanson, will be home soon."  I say quietly, as I run my fingers through his chestnut colored hair.  

He brushes his lips across my cheek, "And?"  I step back from him and stare.

"And he's my brother.  He'd kick your ass, if he saw you kissing me."  

"Reese, you have six brothers; it wouldn't just be Hanson that would kick my ass.  Anyone of them would.  I just meant,"  He steps closer to me and brushes the loose strands of my red hair out of my face.  "We could talk to them, about us.  They'll eventually find out anyway."  

I rest my head against his chest and close my eyes.  "I know Kade, I just-"  I shake my head, "I just don't want them to hate you.  They hate all the guys they ever thought wanted to be my friend, and you're different, I don't want them to scare you away."

Kayden wraps his arms around me holding me against him, "Don't worry about them, honey.  They're your brothers, they worry about you.  Just talk to them, and if they don't except it they can suck it up for all I care." 

"I care."  I mumble against him,  "I want them to like you."

"I want them to like me too hon, but they can't decide that if they don't know about us."  He tells me in a soft voice, "I love our secrets moments Reese, but why do they all have to be a secret?"

"You're right, I know you are."  I stretch up kissing him, "I'll text them all to come home for dinner, and you can come back right?"

He smiles at me, "I can stay and help out.  Or we can order pizza."

"You want to order pizza for eight people, six of whom are my older brothers?" 

 Kayden shrugs, "Why not?  Then you don't have to worry about making anything and people can eat what they want."

Twenty minutes later, Kayden and I are sitting on the couch; me leaning against his chest, when the front door opens.  I try to push myself up, but Kayden's arm tightens around my waist. 

 "Let me up Kade,"  I whisper as I hear footsteps coming closer.  

"Reese, why are we all home for dinner.  Who died?"  I hear my brothers voice, "Are you-"  His voice trails off as he steps into the room.  "Umm Reese?"  Hanson looks at the couch where Kayden and I sit, his arms crossed over his chest.

Kayden moves his arm from my waist, allowing me to sit up, before he stands.  "I'm Kayden."

"Hanson."  My brother says, not moving to shake Kayden's hand.  "Why exactly are you in my house with my sister?"

I scowl at my oldest brother, "Hanson stop.  Nobody died, this is why I wanted you all home.  I need to talk to you guys, and it'd be easier to do it at one time."

My brother raises his eyebrows at me, "And why is he here?"

"Hanson, I said when everyone is here.  Far as I can tell your one brother, one annoying brother."  I reach for Kaydens hand and pull him after me as I move towards the stairs.  "We ordered pizza for five thirty.  And Hanson, you say one word I will throw out your freaking pringles."  I throw one more look at him and move back up the stairs to my room.  

At five fifteen Kayden and I walk back down the stairs, and I stop at the bottom hearing the collection of voices in the living room.  I take a deep breath and walk into the room Kayden following after me.  I see all six of my brothers as well as the two brothers wives.  

Logan walks over, "Hey kid."  He kisses the side of my head, and gives me a side hug.  My other brothers watch me from across the room.

"You can stop staring guys,"  I mutter looking at Kayden.  I let out a long breath,  "Right, you guys this is Kayden."   He squeezes my hand, "He's my boyfriend."
