She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

When I wake up the other side of bed was cold and empty, his strong scent lingering in the room. A smile made it way to my lips as I remembered the beautiful events of last night but before it completely bloom on my face my mind rushed and stuck at the one thought 

What horrors the next day is going to hold with it.

I took a quick shower trying to drain and ease my head a little or it seems like my head will burst by all the thinking I was doing.

I put my cloths on, tied my hairs in a long braid instead of leaving them open and made my way down for breakfast. It's better Nicolas left early otherwise I don't think I'll be able to face him and talk after yesterday. My mind again will run towards the thoughts of what I am going to do when no one is on his side and when look at his face it'll made me more guilty but my priorities are clear this time.

I am not going to take my steps back.

I was climbing down the stairs when my thoughts were intrupted by shouts and loud laughter coming from living room.

I walked down to the stairs and saw Peter running back to Michael, both has guns in their hands pointing towards each other.

'Run for the hill, run fast boyo' Peter screamed laughing at running Michael who jumped above the couches.

'Its digbeth kid, I won't go, Keep running you pig head officer' Michael exclaimed ducking down when Peter pointed his gun at him.

'You better get out of town kid or I'll shoot your fucking head off' Peter screamed again but before that Michael point his gun at him.

'Times up' ~'pewww'~ Michael shouted making the sound of shooting gun.

'Go down, you are dead Peter' 'go down'.~

Peter made a small noise and jerking his body fall on the couch like got shot in real.

Sophia said something and everybody else released a loud chuckle.

Edward was first to saw me who was sitting right in front of Sophia and his lips curled up giving me his usual wicked smirk with nauseating look in his eyes.

'Guess who decided to show up'

'The sleeping beauty is finally awake'. He mocked.

Peter sat up on his position and all their heads turn to me.

'Hii everyone' I said awkwardly waving my hand finding everyone here and they all gave me their warm smiles. My eyes meet with Nicolas who was standing near Edward, he gave me a soft smile which I returned hesitately. 

In the meantime Leonardo made his appearance from the the kitchen with a plate of cookies and tray of coffee.

'You are looking beautiful Elena' Sophia said.

'Huu, I see, Guess someone finally learn to become a keeper here' she teased looking at Nicolas with a side smirk and one cocked brow.

'I never thought anybody would be able to tame this beast but now we have somebody on our sides' Leo commented with a cheeky smile looking at Nicolas placing the tray on the table for everyone to take.

'That's exciting' Peter jumped in.  'If that's the case then why don't he try to ask Elena out decently on date with permission of her father like gentleman, lets see what he says' he added and everybody on the table chuckled instead of me.

Even though Peter said it in funny way without any intentions I can't help but clench my fist when heard them talking about my father.

'These won't taste half of how good Elena bake, not even edible' Michael muttered stuffing his mouth with cookies munching on them gaining everbodies attention.

'I prepared these from the leftover of Elena's batter' Leo said and turned to me making everybody chuckle instead of Michael.

'Then I say her hands have magic and your won't' Michael added.

'Why not? Afterall her family run a bakery' Edward said and I greeted my teeth in anger.

Thanks to all of these bunch of criminals which is on shut now.

'Not, edible' Peter said snatching the cookies from Michael hand and placed them in his own mouth.

'You won't eat when it's not edible but here you are, munching share of everyone' peter retorted.

'Sorry Elena I used your leftover cookie batter' Leo apologized and my attention from those two turn back to him.

'Oh, Its OK' I replied brushing it with my hand.

'You take my coffee I'll prepare myself another' he added and turn to left in kitchen but I intrupted him.

'Its fine Leo, you continue. I have to make breakfast anyway' 

'Anyone else up here for breakfast' I asked.

'Me!' Sophia said raising her hand.

'Thanks El you asked otherwise I thought I'll die by starvation, pancacks for me' Michael said who was fighting over cookies like cat and dog with Peter and slumped limb there as soon as he said that.

'You asked wrong person Elena, this man has a whole ocean in name of stomach nd took an appetite of bull' Peter said making everybody chuckle loudly in the room and Michael threw a pillow at him which he catches in air showing him middle finger.

'What about you?' I asked turning to Peter.

'Sandwich will work for me' he replied throwing pillow back at Michael.

I turned to Leo to ask but before that he replied 'anything' instantly making me smile.

Leaving all of them their I walked in the kitchen and the smile from my face dropped replacing with fear.

How am I supposed to leave tomorrow when his whole fucking crew of gangsters is here. 

The cops won't be able to make it if all these will remain here, these all are best in bests. What if these will outnumber them.

I was making the dough for pancakes when saw Nicolas entering inside. His both arms are crossed together in front of his chest and his body leaned against the wall.

'You want something?' I asked putting a glance on him and again went back in fluffing flour with visk.

'What are you doing?' he asked.

'Right now, pancakes of Michael' I replied without looking at him.

'Let me help you' he said nd rolling his shirt sleeves walk towards freeze and took out the lardons.
