"To tell you the truth I like England better then the states." Alicia said with a smile. "Ya he is, but he is taking on to much." She said with a sigh. "Actually I moved here with him and his boyfriend." She said rubbing her head. "Shoot I should head back, I need to make sure he wakes his sister up she has school in a few hours. Let me give you my number maybe we can get a coffee sometime." She said as she grabbed a piece of paper and pen. She scribbled her number down, and handed it to Alexander. "Give me a call." She said with a smile. "It was nice to meet you, again I'm sorry for breaking your glasses." Alicia said as she ran to the Lamborghini.
|
Alexander's mouth hung slightly agape as he watched Alicia get in the car, "O-oh my..gosh.." Just who was this woman? He smiled slightly, looking at her number on the paper. Perhaps later this after class. With that, he continued on, having memorized the route years ago.
|
"It looks like somebody is happy." Holden said as he laid on the couch.
"Hush up Holden." Alicia said with a smile. "Oh come on, it's been awhile since we talked about boys." He said with a smile. "True, but the last time we did the guy turned out to be gay." She said as she turned onto the street. "Hey now that wasn't my fault." He said as he looked at Amanda and Jason. "Ok, now just to get up without waking them up." He thought to himself. Holden teleported to his room and quietly grabbed a few clothes and headed for the shower. Alicia was thinking of the run in with Alexander. He was very sweet. She bit her lip, "I hope he calls." She said as she pulled into the driveway. |
Solomon opened his eyes as he heard Holden, "You're not even going to invite me? Oh that hurts." He laughed softly, carefully sitting up so he wouldn't bother Hayden. He let out a grunt, wincing as he bent forward, "Ha..yden.."
Hayden narrowed her eyes after punching Solomon in the stomach, "Don't you think about it." She put a pout on her face as she crossed her arms, "I don't want to see that again." Solomon took a moment to recompose before grabbing Hayden by the shoulders, "Hey, he's sexy...you can't blame me." He smiled, playfully shoving her down to the bed before standing up. |
"I need to get Amanda ready for school. So I don't have time for a forty-five minute shower." Holden said with a smile. He shut the door and started to get undressed.
Alicia pulled the car into the garage, she sighed. She got of the car and headed into the house. "I need to take a shower too." She said as she teleported to the basement. |
Solomon frowned, "Very well...there's always later~" He winced again as Hayden swatted him, "Hayden! Stop!"
She stuck out her tongue then ran out of the room, "You first!" She hurried down to Amanda and gently poked her, "Aaammaannddaa~ Waakkee uuuppp~" |
"Hm?" Amanda said as she opened her eyes. "Hayden your still here!" She said as she gave Hayden a hug. "Oh no, I start school today." She said with a pout. "We aren't gonna be able to play today." Amanda said still with a pout.
"I was thinking of getting Hayden a bed so she can spend the night sometimes." Holden said. |
Hayden frowned, "Then I'll just have to go too! Then we can spend aaalll day together~" She gave Amanda a hug, pulling her from the bed and dragging her upstairs, "Come on, you need to get ready." She flipped on the light in Amanda's room as they came inside, "Come on!" She turned to face Amanda, not realizing that her face and clothes were coated in dried blood.
|
Amanda's eyes got wide when she saw Hayden covered in blood.
"Damn it!" Holden yelled as he felt Amanda get scared as she saw Hayden covered in blood. He quickly got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist and teleported to Amanda's room. He quickly knocked Amanda out, "Hayden, can you go and get cleaned up please." He said as he quickly caught Amanda. |
Hayden looked down at herself as Holden spoke, "Oh! I-I s-sorry! I-I didn't..realize.." She quickly disappeared, and about 10 minutes later she had reappeared in a fresh pink Kimono and showered. She smiled, her hair pulled back with her bangs and a bit of her hair framing her face, "I-is that b..better Holden?"
|
"Beautiful." Holden said with a smile. "Can you fix her memory so she didn't see you covered in blood? I need Solomon to teach me how to do that." He said as he woke up Amanda. He winked and disappeared before Amanda saw him. He landed in his room, "Well that was fast." He said as he quickly flashed Solomon. "Oops, damn towel." He said with a wink as he went back into the bathroom.
"What happened?" Amanda asked as she looked at Hayden. |
Hayden nodded, inserting the memory of them just coming up stairs, "You're so spacey! You have to focus!" She put her finger to Amanda's forehead with a serious expression, "Silly. Now come on, you have to look pretty and you cant be late!" She went around Amanda's room, searching for something for her to wear.
|
"I need to take a bath." Amanda said as she went to her bathroom.
Holden finished his shower and got dressed. "I did miss you in the shower." He said as he walked out of the bathroom. "Do you want some breakfast? I know we don't need it but since I'm making some for Jason and Amanda." He said as he leaned against the bed. He stared at Solomon for a second, and then he teleported to the kitchen. "What a waste of hamburger." He said as he dumped the hamburger into the trash can. Holden got started on making breakfast. "Daddy?" Jason asked as he opened his eyes. He heard commotion in the kitchen. He quickly ran to the kitchen, "Morning daddy." He said with a smile. "Morning Jason." Holden said with a smile. "That was refreshing." Alicia said as she finished getting dressed. She teleported to the living room. "I guess I need to clean this up." Alicia said as she crossed her arms. |
"Well hurry uuupp~ You're gunna be late!" She rushed Amanda to the bathroom pushing her in and shutting the door.
Solomon smiled slightly, "There's always later, as I said. When the kids are at school" He winked, standing up and brushing himself off, "I'm going to change before Amanda sees me like this...I'll be back sometime this afternoon..the horses need some attention as well." He disappeared at the same time Holden had, appearing at his house and getting in the shower with a fresh set of clothes waiting on the counter. |
"Amanda hurry up you need to eat before you go to school!" Holden said yelling up the stairs. "How is the food?" He asked Jason as he made a plate for Amanda. He went back to the stairs, "Amanda Marie Evans let's go." He said as he went back to the kitchen. "I plan on getting the papers to get you in school too." He said with a smile.
"It's really good daddy." Jason said with a smile as Holden left the kitchen. He ate the rest of his food, "But I wanna stay here with you." He said with a whine. Amanda ran out of the bathroom, "I'm coming Holden!" She said as she put on her clothes. She shivered when she heard her middle name, "I don't like it when he says my middle name." She said as she put her shoes on. "Let's go." Amanda said as she grabbed Hayden and pulled her downstairs. "You will but you need an education. After we drop off Amanda we are gonna go clothes shopping for you." He said as he started to get impatient. "Finally, now eat, both of you." He said as he saw Amanda and Hayden come down the stairs. |
Hayden frowned as she was told to eat, "B-but..Holden..." She sighed, knowing Solomon would want her to eat to keep up appearances. She took a small bite of her toast, chewing it slowly, "I want blood.."
|
"That you have to take up with Solomon." Holden said watching Hayden eat. "Hayden, I was thinking of getting you a bed, so the next time you sleep over you don't take mine." He said with a smile. "Jason if you have to go to the bathroom go now." He said as he put the pan in the sink.
Amanda ate slowly, because she didn't wanna go to school. "Holden I don't wanna go to school." She said with a slight pout. "Ok daddy." Jason said as he walked to the bathroom. "You have to go Amanda." Holden said as he nodded at Jason. Amanda scowled when Jason called Holden daddy. "Amanda Marie, don't do that." He said snippy. Amanda went back to eating. |
Hayden pouted, sticking her tongue out at him. She then looked to Amanda, "Don't worry, I'm coming too! Solomon said he'd talk with Mrs...what's her face about getting me....enrolled. Yeah." She smiled, "We'll be classmates!"
|
Holden laughed, he looked at his watch. "We need to go. Let's go Jason." He said as he walked into the living room. He grabbed Amanda's backpack and went to the door.
"Coming!" Jason said as he ran to Holden. "Yay!" Amanda said. She got up and went to Holden. "See you in a bit Alicia. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." He said with a smile as he unlocked the BMW. "Ten hut, ten hut." He said as he rushed the kids to the car. He got in and started the car. He drove off when everyone was in. "That basically leaves the door wide open." Alicia said with a smile. "What time does the satellite person come?" She asked. "Um 10:30, I think." He said as he pulled out of his driveway. |
Hayden hurried into the car, sitting next to Amanda, thankful she wasn't between the two. She kept her eyes out the window, not looking forward to going to school...again. She had been to school..so many times...it was insulting.
|
"You didn't have to say you would go to school Hayden." Holden said as he got close to the school. "Ah Amanda, there is a ten dollar bill in the counsel take that to get you and Hayden lunch." He said as he pulled up to the school. He turned off the car and grabbed Jason and went inside to find Marsha. He finally found her, "Ah Marsha, it's nice to see you again. This is my sister Amanda, this is Solomon's sister. And this is Jason, I would like to talk in private about Jason." He said. He handed Amanda her backpack, "Now have a good day. You two Hayden." He said with a smile.
Amanda opened the counsel and grabbed the ten dollar bill. She got out of the car and grabbed onto Holden's hand and followed him inside. "Ok Holden, I love you." She said as she ran off to find her first class. Jason was clinging to Holden as he walked through the school. He was really scared of all of the children. "I love you to Amanda." Holden said with a smile as he stood back up. |
Hayden smiled a bit as she got out of the car with Amanda, "Come on, we have all the same classes, Solo made sure." She dragged Amanda through the halls before coming upon the classroom. She paused frowning, "I hate first day..." "It's okay Holden...it'll help Amanda feel better"
Marsha nodded, leading Holden and Jason to her office, "What can I do for you Holden?" |
"So do I." Amanda said with a frown.
Holden picked up Jason and followed Marsha. "Thank you Hayden." He said. "Well I don't know if Solomon told you but I am fostering Jason, while I wait for the adoption papers to come. I would like to enroll him here if that is ok." He said as he took a seat. "I have to take him to the doctor yet, but I have an appointment set up for later this week." He said as he tried to loosen Jason's grip on his neck. He didn't need to breath but it would look odd if he didn't adjust Jason's hold. Jason instantly hid his face in Holden's neck, and had his arms around Holden's neck hard. |
Marsha nodded a bit as he spoke, "I can't allow you to enroll him until you are in full custody of him. Technically speaking, the Orphanage is still his 'legal guardian'." She frowned slightly, seeing Jason's clinginess, "I don't think...he's socially suited. Don't get mad, I'm not trying to insult him or yourself, but his treatment at the Orphanage was bad, I'm assuming, and he just can't tolerate being around people. He needs to be properly socialized before he can benefit from a school environment."
|
"I see." Holden said as Marsha talked. "It was quite bad, and I understand." He said looking to Jason with sad eyes. "Do you know of any home school programs that he would be able to take?" He asked looking back at Marsha.
"I'm sorry daddy." Jason said muffled. "Shh it's ok Jason." Holden said rubbing his back. |
"I can gather up a few brochures and have them to you when you pick up Amanda and Hayden. Perhaps someday Jason could join us, I'm sure he'd really like it here." She smiled a bit, "I wish I could be of more help to you, but there's not much else I can do for you. Oh! I might know a guy who can talk with Jason...but I don't know how comfortable he'd be with that. He seems very shy and...attached."
|
"Thank you, and I'm, sure he would." Holden said with a smile. "It is ok, I will talk to him more when he isn't choking me." He said with a slight smile. "Ya he attached to me fast." He said as he rubbed Jason's head. "Thank you for all of your help, I should go. I have a lot of work to do while Amanda is out." He said as he stood up. He quickly extended his hand. "Have a nice day, and I will see you this afternoon." He said as he left Marsha's office.
|
She shook his hand with a smile, "Of course, see you soon Holden." She leaned back in her chair with a slight sigh. Why did she have the feeling she was going to be seeing him or Solomon down in her h office a lot? Oh, that's right..cause Hayden's a trouble maker. Solomon warned her about that.
|
"It's ok Jason. No one was gonna hurt you." Holden said as he got to his car.
"There was a lot of people there." Jason said looking into Holden's eyes. Holden sighed, "Its ok, now let's go get you some clothes." He said as he put Jason in the car. "Solomon how come I have a feeling I'm gonna have to come back here, other then to pick up Amanda and Hayden?" He asked as he got into the car. "Call me Alexander." Alicia said in a singsong way. The doorbell rang, "If that is the satellite guy, he is early." She said as she went to the door. |
"I just have a feeling that Hayden is going to get herself and Amanda into loads of trouble..maybe it's rubbing off on you."
Alexander sighed as he rummaged through his tiny apartment, "Now where'd I put those darn glasses? I am not getting the 'spare' spare pair." He shuddered slightly at the thought, "I should just get contacts.." He placed his hands on his hips, frustrated as he thought. Suddenly, he hurried into the spare room, pulling open the drawer of the nightstands, "Ah ha! I knew it!' He pulled the black case from the drawer, lifting the glasses from it. They were almost exactly like his other pair, except the frames were a dark brown rather than black. He slipped them on his face then set out to find his phone. He was anxious to call Alicia. Coffee sounded really good right now, and why should he enjoy it alone when there was a pretty girl waiting for him to call. Right? |
"It's not Hayden I'm worried about, it's Amanda. She is good, unless someone insults me." Holden said as he pulled out of the school driveway.
Alicia opened the door, "Hello." She said a little surprised. "Hello ma'am, I'm Gail and I am here to set up the dish." A young black haired woman said. "Ah yes, come on in. There is only three TV's. The one down here, one in my room, and one in the master bedroom." Alicia said as she led the woman in. "Ok, it shouldn't take me more then forty-five minutes to do." Gail said with a smile as she looked at the TV. "I must say you have great tastes in TV's, Sanyo is a great brand. What is this a 48 inch?" She asked as she looked at the TV. "Actually it is a 52 inch. And my friend picked it out, I must say though gay men do have great tastes in things. I didn't mean that as a bad thing." Alicia said trying to make it sound better. "It's ok, I know what you mean. My brother is gay, so I know about it all." Gail said with a smile, as she went back to work. |
He found his phone after rummaging through his messenger bag. He flipped it open and dug the piece of paper from his pocket while he did so. He quickly dialed the number, suddenly getting a bit nervous as it rang.
|
Alicia smiled, thinking of what it will be like to watch TV again. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. "Excuse me for a minute." She said as she went to the kitchen. "Hello?" Amanda asked as she grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge.
|
Alexander was very tense by the third ring, and when she picked up, he nearly jumped, "A-ah! Alicia! Hi..it's..um..it's Alex, from earlier? I..was wondering, would now be an okay time to meet up for coffee? I know a spectacular place." The entire time he was pacing back and forth, his voice tense; showing his nervousness.
|
"Hi Alex, I would love to but right now the satellite gal is here. Unless you wanna meet at my house and I will drive." Alicia said as she opened her water. "Holden are you gonna be home soon?" She asked while she waited for Alex's response.
"In about and half hour. You should know how fun it is to shop when you are a girl." Holden said with a smile. "I thought you weren't a girl?" She asked joking. "I'm beginning to wonder myself." He said with a laugh in her head. "Nice Holden, very nice." She said with a smile. |
He nodded, not that she could see it, "I-I could do that. What's your address? I could be there in about 20 minutes if it's not too far." He began to quickly pack up his bag, making sure he had his wallet, some cash, and his camera. He always took that thing everywhere; it made his parents worry sometimes, but that's okay. They were supposed to worry.
|
"Parkside, Mill Hill, NW7 is my address. I will see you in a little bit Alex." Alicia said with a smile as she hung up. "Yes." She said kind of loud. She cleared her throat and went back into the living room. She sighed as she sat down on the couch.
|
He nodded, memorizing it quickly, "See you soon." He flipped the phone shut and hurriedly put his bag over his shoulder, rushing out the door. She didn't live too far from his apartment, maybe a few miles. It wouldn't take him too long, he knew a lot of shortcuts.
Sure enough, about 55 minutes later, he had arrived at the place. He stared a moment from the sidewalk, OH my gosh..that's huge! Now he was a bit intimidated. With a deep breath, he hurried up to the door and knocked rather quietly. He debated for a moment if he really wanted to do this... |
Holden pulled into the driveway and saw a man standing at his door. He got out of the car when he stopped. "You must be Alicia's date." He said as he grabbed all of the bags from the back seat. He picked up Jason, and walked closer to the man, "I'm Holden, Alicia's friend, slash non blood brother." He said with a smile. "Can you get the door for me Jason?" He asked as he put Jason down.
"Ok daddy." Jason said as he raced to the door and opened it. He ran inside and sat down on the couch. "Thank you Jason. Go ahead inside, we don't bite." He said as he nodded the man in. "Or at least we don't bite hard." He thought to himself with a slight chuckle. "Alicia I'm home, and your date is here." He said as he placed the bags down. "Oh no Holden." Alicia said as she ran upstairs. "You didn't say anything embarrassing, did you?" She asked as she entered the living room. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. What car do you want to take?" He asked with a chuckle. "Well I can't take the BMW, because you are a stay at home mom. So I guess I will take the Ferrari." She said with a sadistic smile. "That hurts, right here Alica." He said placing his hand over his heart. "By the way I am not always the woman." He said with a wink. "If you dare leave one scratch on my Ferrari I will kick your ass." Holden said as he tossed the key to Alicia. Alicia caught the key, "Ok, you officially are a sicko." She said with a glare. "And good luck with that sister." She said as she stuck her tongue. "Ready to go Alex?" Alicia asked as she grabbed his arm and walked outside. |
Alexander just stood there, watching silently as things unfolded. What had he gotten himself into? He was half tempted to just run off and never speak to any of them again. He snapped out of it hearing his name, "A-ah..umm..please call me Alexander..I don't like being called Alex.." He was surprised to see her already holding onto his arm. He didn't mind so much, after all, she was much prettier with his glasses on. He followed her as she sort of pulled him along, "You know the place..down by the mall?"
