Nikolai POV

It's been a week since that talk with Spencer. Travis has been at work a lot which I'm starting to feel a little worried about. He said it's early and lat meetings but he never used to have that. I'm not sure why his boss would started changing the meeting times and have two a day.

When I woke up this morning, Travis was gone, not even a note on his pillow like he usually do when he leaves for work early. With a sigh, I got up and showered then changed and went to my family. All sat in the living room other than Hannah. Hayley and Spencer even here with little Ophelia.

"Hey bubba." I smiled and picked her up kissing her cheek. She giggled and grabbed my cheeks pressing a kiss to my cheek making me laugh.

"Did you miss me?" I smiled at the small girl.

"Yeah." Lia smiled back cutely. Once again I kissed her cheek then sat her on the floor to play with her toys.

"What's up baby boy?" My dad frowned at me.

"Nothing." I sighed and slumped down next to him and Carl.

"What's going on? Tell us, do I have to beat someone?" Carl got my attention.

"Travis has been leaving early for work and getting back late in the evenings. He said he had two meetings a day which is really odd to me. I guess I'm having doubts about stuff." I explained to everyone.

"I fucking told you." Carl and Julia called out together and pointed at my dad and Darren.

"We fucking told you two and you didn't believe us. This is proof enough. Now we just need to follow him and catch him in the act." Julia smiled widely, the same with Carl.

"What's going on?" I frowned.

"Nothing honey. Me and Carl just told your dad and Darren something and we just found out it's true." She replied.

"What's that?" I asked genuinely curious.

"I have managed to get a job. They didn't believe me and I've just got the text. Nothing to much to worry about." Carl told me and sat down again with Julia.

"Oh, ok. Well congratulations." I smiled a little at him. He gave me one back and pulled me so I was against his side.

"How long has Travis been going this?" My dad asked me. Curiosity evident in his eyes.

"Two months, maybe a bit longer." I told him.

"Alright. Well I have to go shopping to get you food. See you later." My dad kissed the top of my head before leaving with Darren.

"What's up with him?" Hayley laughed.

"I have no clue." I laughed a little to.
~~~~~~

It was 7:00pm and no one was home. Hayley and Spencer had left not too long ago, Darren and my dad weren't back from shopping yet, Carl and Julia went on date night and Hannah went to see a family friend. So I was here alone.

Usually Travis would be here with me but like every day, he texts saying he'll be home late. That was until I heard the front door open so I went to see who it was. Coming in was Travis who slipped off his work shoes and put his jacket on the coat rack. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his top button of his shirt.

"Hey babe. How was your day?" Travis pulled me to his chest by my hips. Before I could answer he placed his lips over mine which I could taste wine on.

"Have you had dinner?" I frowned a little.

"No, I'm starving. I had a glass of wine at work with a colleague. His Mrs is knocked up so we all sat and had a glass of wine after the meeting." He told me.

A small sigh passed my lips but I nodded anyway. "What do you want for dinner?"

My dad buys food not only for me but Travis, Hayley and Spencer as well. We have some foods for Lia in our fridge and cupboards so if she gets hungry it's here. It's to make Travis think we're a normal human family since he doesn't know about demons and all of that. If I'm honest I don't want him to know but I know it will be inevitable because I'm not ageing at all.

Even though I stopped ageing at sixteen, each year I get more mature which kind of makes me seem older than I am. It's just the case of having to tell Travis about us which I don't want to do. But I know I have to because he'll just be confused. And it's not like I'm a vampire so I can't compel him when I want to break up with him so he can forget me. Demons don't have that ability only a certain few with their gifts.

"What's going?" Travis started kissing my neck.

"I don't know. My dad went out shopping to get some stuff." I told him.

"Ok. Why don't we wait-," my boyfriend started but was cut off by the door opening.

"Hey dad." I smiled at him.

"Hey baby boy. I saw an old friend while shopping." He smiled back while him and Darren walked in with Hannah behind them bringing in the shopping. Of course my dad and Darren took most of the bags being the gentlemen they are. Most likely telling Hannah to come inside and put her feet up and relax.

"Really?" I furrowed my eyebrows as me and Travis followed them all into the kitchen. "Who is it?"

All three of them put the bags of food on the kitchen table and turned to me. Darren and my dad had smiles on their faces like they won the lottery and Hannah looked a little pissed off.

"You'll see tomorrow when they come for dinner. Travis you be here as well. I don't care about meetings and shit, you come to this dinner." Darren told him sternly.

"Ok. Well I have a day off tomorrow so I could spend it with Nikolai, so I'll be here." Travis told them.

After that, we all ate a quick meal then went up to bed. Ironic isn't it, I've only let one of my partners call me Nicky. Lyla, you know what she did, and Travis is acting weird, and before that I still found it hard to trust so I don't let anyone call me Nicky other than my dad, Darren, Lexi, Brandon, Spencer, Hayley,  Hannah, Carl and Julia.

Speaking of, where is Lexi and Brandon? Just as that thought came into my head, my bedroom door burst open and in came the drunk couple. They didn't let me and Travis sleep until one in the morning which I was slowly falling asleep.

When they realised, they both kissed the top of my head and walked out. After my bedroom door shut, I laid down and closed my eyes. Arms circled around me with a kiss on my cheek then Travis lay down to. It didn't take me long to fall asleep from being so tired.

But I want to know who's coming to dinner.
