siren sounds repeating over 12 hours, continuously.
“you’re here!” Adam exclaimed and jumped in excitement. He ran back into the house yelling for Chase to come and play.
“hi, love!” I greeted Chase with a kiss on the cheek and he took the things from my hand
“hi back, killer.”
“come we have to show you something.” Adam said and he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the kitchen.
“what is this.” I asked when he pointed at a bowl of brown goop
“it’s chocolate pudding.” He replied in a matter of fact tone
“is it now?” I asked and looked at Chase, raising one eyebrow
“it’s cake batter, we were waiting for the flour.” Chase explained picking Adam up and putting him on the kitchen isle.
“it tastes like chocolate pudding.” Adam pouted
“that’s because its melted chocolate and butter with 2 raw eggs” Chase rolled his eyes
“Val, can you try?” Adam asked and I nodded. Chase handed me a spoon full of the goop and I gave a big smile to Adam after taking a spoonful.
“c’mon buddy let us bake the cake now that the flour is here.” Chase said and both of them got to work. Chase made Adam measure everything and didn’t criticize when he spilled or asked questions.
I sat across them watching Chase teach Adam how to set the oven. I set up the table for the study session. Chase came up behind me and Adam made balls from the now cookie batter.
“what are we doing today?” he said hugging me from behind
“we’re studying war poems.” I replied facing him. Our faces were too close that instantly sent a wave of heat down my spine.
“I’d rather be studying you.” He said and gave me a long kiss
“eww” Adam groaned from across.
“shut up Adam.” Chase said and continued to kiss me as I giggled
“We cannot do this with eyes on us!” I said
“maybe the eyes will learn something from future reference.” He replied and I hit him on the shoulder and rolled my eyes
“can you put this in the oven Val?” Adam asked pointing at the tray of cookie batter
“sure thing baby-boy” I smiled. I put on the oven mitt and shoved the tray in.
“Val, I have a secret but you cannot tell uncle.” Adam whispered to me. We looked back at Chase and he pretended to look away. Adam’s whispering was not exactly discrete.
“okay, I promise. What is it.” I whispered back
“when we were at you house and in the war room. I noticed some things.” He said
“okay and what is that.”
“that blonde girl and the brown haired guy like each other.” He said
“yes, Payton and Vince are dating Adam.” I said and he made an oh face
“okay, and what about uncle Anderson and that dude from your team?” he asked
“what about them.”
“they were staring at each other like you and uncle stare at each other.” He said factually
“well we shall ask uncle Anderson when we see him next. But only ask them when we are around okay?”
“okay Val.” He nodded and I gave Chase an impressed look. He gave me a cocky- he’s my bother of course, look.
“I have a question for you baby boy.” I asked him and put him on the counter
“yes Val?” he smiled back
“why do you call me Val?” I asked him
“because that’s what everyone calls you, except uncle Chase and he told me only he gets to call you killer or else he would put me in the dark room without candy.” He replied and I glared at Chase, he just shrugged.
“he wouldn’t do that. And if he does you can always call me. I can kick his butt” I said and whispered the last part.
“I heard that” Chase said looking up from my notes.
“I know” I replied and smiled.
“ Adam go play till the alarm rings for the cookies, we’re going to study right here.” Chase commanded and Adam hopped off the counter and ran towards the tv room across the foyer.
“so,” Chase said turning towards me as I stopped in front of him, “you can kick my ass?” he asked
“right here, right now” I replied, sliding my hands down his torso, “I’d roll around with you anytime.” I winked still feeling him up. He got off the chair and put me on the counter. Our lips crashed like we were hungry for each other. Our tongues fought for control and dominance. He moved down to my neck and sucked the sweet spot between the crook of my neck and my collarbone till I was practically panting and moaning in his ear,
“Chase” I groaned and pulled on this t-shirt, “more”.
