already scarred me!” I heard a voice say. I turned around to notice Thomas who was awake watching us with a disgusted look on his face.
I looked at Thomas in pure shock, “You were awake this whole time?” He nodded his head slowly. “Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked, flabbergasted.
“What am I supposed to say? Hey guys can you quit flirting, it’s making me want to gauge my eyes out.”
My eyes widened. “Yeah, something along those lines.”
Thomas rolled his eyes, “I am gone.” He said, unbuckling himself and opening the door.
I watched as he walked around the car and proceeded to walk home. I noticed that he swayed when he walked as if he was drunk. I knew I had to catch up with him or he would end up being hit by a car, considering the chicken had to cross the road in order to get home.
“I have to go.” I said, opening the door and getting out.
“So, no goodbye kiss?”
I shook my head, “No goodbye kiss.” I repeated.
“But, can I at least do this?” Gavin said, leaning over to me. I stood still as his lips came in contact with my skin. I felt tingles from the spot that he just kissed. “Just wanted to return the favour, from earlier.” He said, whispering. “Night.”
A goofy grin made its way onto my face, as I finally got out of his truck. “Night.” I replied, softly.
Once Gavin’s truck pulled out of the curb I ran towards my brother who didn’t make it so far, since he was still in sight. I jogged over to him as he looked to have a hard time standing still or even standing for that matter.
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked, grabbing a hold of him.
I felt Thomas tense as I came in contact with him. “Nothing. What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” I murmured, as we both crossed the almost deserted street. It was almost around midnight and things even in a busy city like DC were starting to settle down.
It was a silent walk back to the house. Once we made it to the gates the guards let us in without asking any questions. I am pretty sure my mom told them we would be back this late, since I texted her during the fair to let her know.
As we made our way down the drive way, I turned to Thomas. “Did you have fun?”
He nodded his head, his eyes droopy. “Yeah. I actually did.”
“I’m glad.” I said, softly. “What do you think of him?”
“Honestly… I think he is the perfect person for you. And I would be kind of bummed if something were to go wrong between the two of you.”
“That would make two of us.”
Thomas didn’t reply as we made our way inside the house. We didn’t say anything more as I watched Thomas head for the stairs.
“Thomas!” I called out, stopping him from making another step. He turned to look at me, a questioning look on his face. “Do you mind if you can give me the file now?”
He didn’t say anything as he removed his hand from the railing and jumping down from the stair that he was on. He then walked over to a bench, I watched as he opened it pulling out the file I was chasing after him this morning for.
“That’s where you put it?”
“How did you even know about that?”
“I have a lot of free time.” He replied, “Night.” And with that, he disappeared up the stairs.
I opened the file, slowly. Curious to why Thomas was so wary on giving it to me. But, as soon as I read the first couple of sentences I knew the reason why. And honestly, I couldn’t help but feel shocked because now I think I finally knew the reason to why you don’t judge a book but its cover. Because Ashley was living proof to that question.

Hello Lovelies,
So this chapter is nine pages on word and over 5000 words… Sooo no one better not complain about the shortness cause as Thomas or Tommy if you prefer I will gauge your eyes out. What did you think of this? And Thomas and Garrett and the whole meeting of the two? I want to read your comments so write them below, because it is almost midnight and I stayed up writing this for you all!

“Do what?” I asked, a little unsure to hear an answer.
“You know tell you about certain things that can happen between you and me.” Gavin replied, smirking.
“Could you stop that?” I said, hissing. “We have one innocent child in the car and a demon. And I am not talking about Tommy.” I said, slowly.
Gavin turned to me a small smile on his face. “It’s so easy getting you riled up. It fills the empty hole in my heart.”
I raised my eyebrows, “You have an empty hole in your heart?”
Gavin nodded his head, “Yeah. Don’t you?”
“No…” I answered, slowly.
“I am pretty sure you do. You just don’t know it yet.”
“You aren’t making any sense. Why would I have a hole in my heart?” I asked, not before realizing something. “Wait you don’t me literally, right?”
“Of course I don’t mean literally. Are you stupid? I am pretty sure if you had an actual hole you would be dead… but don’t quote me on it, I am no doctor.”
I ran my hands through my hair, tangling my fingers in them. “I honestly, cannot believe I am having this conversation.” I said, aloud.
Gavin rolled his eyes at me, “I meant to say that everybody has a hole in there heart that is supposed to be filled by the person that they love and who truly loves them.”
I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly, not knowing what to say. “A-are you okay?”
“Yeah, I am fine. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Because you were just a cocky, annoying jerk and now you are this sweet, sentimental jerk.”
He glanced at me from the corner of his eyes, slowly stopping the car and turning off the engine. “Glad to know that I will always be a jerk in your eyes.”
I smiled, sweetly at him. I took my eyes off Gavin for a second to notice that he had stopped the car at our usual spot where he would drop me off.
I unbuckled my seatbelt, grabbing the door handle. “Thanks for the ride.” I said, before getting out. “I had a lot of fun on our date.” I said, smiling.
“Me too.” He replied, with a small smile on his face.
“See you tomorrow.” I said, about to open the door.
“Wait!” Gavin called out, “You are forgetting something.”
I knitted my eyebrows in confusion as I felt my pocket for my phone. “I think I have everything. The only thing I brought was my phone and some money. Which you refused me to use.”
“I wasn’t going to let you pay. Boys always pay for their dates.”
“That’s sexist.”
“That’s reality.” He replied.
I rolled my eyes, “What am I forgetting?” I asked, giving up on whatever game he was playing.
“A goodnight kiss, it’s usually the best thing to end a wonderful day. So pucker up, buttercup.” He said, puckering his lips.
I raised my eyebrows at him. Yes, I will admit I wouldn’t mind kissing him at this moment. But, even though it wouldn’t be my first kiss. I wanted it to be something special, especially since I actually liked the idiot.
“Not happening.”
“Why not?” Gavin asked, doing this pouty thing with his lips.
“Because I’d rather not kiss you in front of our younger brothers.”

“My stomach… It hurts…” Thomas complained, as I tightened my grip under his armpits to help steady him as we walked towards the parking lot.
“That is what you get after you eat three hotdogs, drink two slushies’ and devour a boat load of candy.” I muttered, as my brother just groaned in response.
“It’s not my fault, Gavin said that I was going to be fine.” Thomas complained, his voice sounding hoarse.
“And you really believe him? This is coming from a guy who ate five hotdogs himself.” I retorted, rubbing my forehead on my arm. “Mom and dad are going to kill me when they see you like this.” I muttered, to myself quietly. But, not quiet enough that Thomas heard me.
“Well this is your fault now,” Thomas said, as we approached Gavin’s rusty red truck.
I sighed, waiting for Gavin to unlock the car. When he did I opened up the door for the back seat, helping Thomas climb inside. Once he did, I quickly helped him with his seatbelt as I noticed Gavin doing the same strapping a sleeping Garrett into his car seat.
Thomas closed his eyes as he rested his head on his shoulder. I shut the door, opening the front seat and climbing in. I had no idea how I was going to explain Thomas’ food sickness to them.
I strapped myself into the car as I waited for Gavin to do the same and start the engine. “He’s going to be fine. You are worrying too much.” Gavin said softly, his eyes glued to the road in front of him.
“I am not worried about Thom-" I said, before correcting myself. “Tommy, I am worried about me! What am I supposed to tell my parents?”
Gavin let out an unattractive snort, “You are an amazing, sister.” He said, sarcastically.
“And he-" I said, referring to Thomas. “Is an amazing brother. Did you know he had to blackmail me in order to allow him to meet you?”
“I hope when Garrett gets older he isn’t going to blackmail me like that…” He muttered, looking at the review mirror, checking on his brother.
“They are always so cute and innocent when they are young. Then they grow up to hack into the security system, just to spy on people.”
“What?” Gavin asked, confused.
“What?” I repeated.
He turned his head to look at me for a brief second, before his eyes turned back to the road. “You are honestly something else Miss Clair.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” I said, smirking.
He rolled his gorgeous dark brown eyes, as a chuckle escaped his soft pink lips. My eyes widened in shock as I just realized the thoughts I had for Gavin swarming in my head. Did I honestly just think that?
I looked over at Gavin and saw his lips move, but didn’t hear anything come out. I blinked a couple of times, bringing myself back to reality. “Pardon? Did you say something?”
He gave me a confused look, “Are you okay? I was called you three times…”
I nodded my head, “Sorry. I was just thinking.”
“What were you thinking about?”
“You.” I blurted, before I had a chance to think before I spoke.
A smirk made its way onto Gavin’s face, as I felt my cheeks become hot. “You were thinking about me? Are you having sexual fantasies about me, Miss Clair?”
My eyes narrowed into slits, “No. I wasn’t having that about you.” I said, not wanting to repeat such a word.
“Then what were you thinking about? And you better tell me because I can do
I looked at Thomas in pure shock, “You were awake this whole time?” He nodded his head slowly. “Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked, flabbergasted.
