The door bell rang. "I'll get it," Hunter said, standing from the table and walking into the living room. Ash was behind the door in boots, jeans, and a peacoat, a red scarf around her cheeks with a plastic container in her hands.
"Hey," Ash pulled the scarf down and smiled, holding her arms out. Hunter brought her against himself and closed the door. Plastic hit his back, but he hugged her tighter. "Two days, Hunter!" She said, tapping his back weakly. "You're crushing me."
"Shit, sorry," Hunter pulled away and offered to take the plastic tub. Ash smiled and held it out to him and walked past him.
"Eli!" Her shriek made Hunter jump, his hand clutching the plastic container tightly against him. Ash had ran into Eli, her arms around him easily. "Haven't seen you since we got out!"
Hunter shook his head and walked over to the table, setting the plastic tub down in front of Emily. She smiled and opened it, smelling it. Her face fell into a pleasurable sigh.
"Wow," Emily said as she picked one of the sweet rolls up. "Ashly made this?"
"Her name's just Ash," Hunter sat down next to Emily. She made a worried face.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry," She said, her hazel eyes growing wide. "I didn't know!"
"It's fine," Ash sat next to Hunter and Eli plopped down on the other side of Emily. Eli's fingers twined into Emily's hands, his fingers teasing up the back side of her hand. "I'm used to it by now," Ash held her hand out to Emily, her elbow against Hunter's chest. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh! You too!" Emily took Ash's hand steadily and shook it, a smile. Wide on her face. "These smell delicious, by the way," Emily pulled her hand back to point at the plastic tub.
"Oh, thank you..." Ash smiled warmly and turned to Eli. "So you two are dating I take it?" Eli nodded and glanced at Emily, her brown hair tucked into a pony-tail.
Hunter watched Emily converse with Ash, his eyes focused on her dark hazel eyes. Her eye shadow a light lavender. She was talking to Ash, smiling and glancing back to Eli.
"Hunter?"
"Mm?"
"Are you paying attention?" Ash laughed. She had moved her hand to Hunter's left thigh.
"Oh, yeah," Hunter smiled. He turned to look at the stairs. Shelly had been sitting on the stairs with her legs dangling down the wall. "Shell!" Hunter called her name and pulled her out of her trance. She smiled and waved to Hunter.
"Hey Hunt," She trilled. Shelly began to stand and walk down the stairs when Emily spotted her.
"Eli didn't tell me that you had a sister, Hunter."
"He also didn't tell you she is head over heels into him, right?" Hunter grinned and turned back to Shelly who had turned completely red.
"At least I haven't told mum what you've done with Ash," Shelly said, her blond hair paler than usual.
Hunter glanced at Ash and she shrugged. Turning back to Shell, hunter smirked. "What did I do with Ash?"
"I..." Shelly turned red again and sat next to Ash. Ash scooted her chair closer to Shelly and gently brushed her hand against her arm.
"What's up?" Ash asked, her hand running through Shelly's blond hair.
"I was just... Curious..."
"...Of?"
Shelly cleared her throat and looked down at the table, her voice muffled by the huge hoodie she wore.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"What does it feel like?!" Shelly blurted then quickly covered her mouth. Ash gave a flustered look and Hunter laughed.
"I-I-I...." Ash looked at Hunter in panic.
"Shelly, I didn't fuck my best friend, thank you though."
