I had just arrived home from work, and I was exhausted because of what happened last night with Kellan, but I don’t regret going to him because even if he never said it in so many words, I knew he needed me. All I wanted to do was soak in a bubble bath and curl up in bed with a book.
“Hey, roomie, rough day?” Cassie asked, “You could say that.” I sighed, set my things down and joined her on the sofa.

“I am sorry, but there is something in your bedroom that I am sure will cheer you up,” she winks, “In my bedroom?” She laughs and nods.
I look at her strangely, “Go see,” she encourages. I have no idea what it could be. There is one way to find out, isn’t there? I pull my ass up from the sofa and head through.
I open my door, and the first thing that catches my eye is a massive bunch of roses in all different colours, from red to white to pink, lying on my bed. They were beautiful, but who would send me such beautiful flowers? There doesn’t seem to be a note attached. Who sends flowers without a message?
I made my way over to admire them closer and ensure there wasn’t one hidden amongst them, but there was nothing.
“Do you like them?” a voice coming from behind me causes me to squeal and jump. I fling myself around, and Kellan is sitting on my desk chair, now laughing at me.
“What the fuck, dude!” I snap, glaring at him. My heart is still pounding in my chest. He stood, coming towards me, “I am sorry, beautiful. I didn’t mean to scare you.” He pouts, kissing me softly. The moment his lips touch mine, all is forgiven.

“The flowers are beautiful, thank you,” I smile as we part, “It is my way of saying thank you for last night.” He replies.
He can’t seem to get his head around on why someone would do what I did for him last night. I don’t think he is used to it.
“Do you have plans for tonight?” he asks, pushing the hair away from my eyes, “I planned to soak in a bubble bath and read my book in bed. Do you have a better offer for me?” I giggle.
“You can still do that, but with company?” he questions. I wiggle my brows at him, “With company?”

“Yes, and then we can order food for the three of us?” he suggests, “I am down for that. I can’t be bothered cooking tonight, and Cassie hates it.” I laugh. I do most of the cooking, but I don’t mind because she pitches in all other ways.
He smiles and kisses me, “Let me get these flowers in some water and then I can start a bath. I will check with Cassie if she is staying on or going out with your brother tonight.” I wasn’t sure of her plans.
I pick the beautiful flowers up, and we head through, “Cassie, we are going to order in. Will you be joining us, or do you have plans?” I ask as I look for a vase.
“Barry is coming over, so we could all have dinner together and maybe watch a movie?” she glances at Kellan when she speaks, wondering if he would be okay with hanging out with his brother.
“I am fine with that. Kellan?” I wait for him to answer, “Sure, why not. We can get some wine too, make a night of it.” he replies.
I put my flowers into a large vase, sitting them by the window so they can have sun and light.
“I am going to take a bath, and then we can decide what we want to order, or we can order from a couple of places, giving us more options.” Why only order from one place when we can do it from more, “Oh, yes, pizza, Chinese and burgers.” Cassie beams.
“We will be back soon.” I grab Kellan’s hand, leading us through to my bedroom. He waits for me in there while I run a bath because it takes forever.
I rejoin him, climbing onto the bed and lying down. Kellan coming to lay next to me. He pats his chest, and I scoot over, resting my head on it, and he slips his arm around me.
“Tonight, will be a first, having a double date with my brother,” he chuckles, “I am sure it will be fine.” I snicker, kissing his neck.
He groans the moment my warm lips touch his skin. I smirk, biting down on it, and he groans again, only louder this time.
“Mmm, easy, sweetness, we need to keep an eye on the bath,” he breaths out, “We have a little time. It takes forever.” I move to straddle him and lean down, pressing my lips to his.
He didn’t fight me on it and kisses me back, running his hands down my back and over my ass, squeezing it. I moan into his lips, rolling my hips into his, and I can feel his excitement growing already.
I sit up on his stomach, removing my top, and he flips us over and pins me below him, taking his own top off. The skin-to-skin contact is enough to arouse me when he lays back on top of me.
Our lips meet in a heated kiss, and it doesn’t take long for our hands to be all over each other. Just as we were getting right into it, there was a loud knock at my bedroom door.
“You better be decent big brother,” Barry says from outside, “Barry, I swear to god you better not come in here right now,” Kellan calls back in frustration.
We hear some movement, and I am half expecting my bedroom door to swing open, but thankfully it doesn’t.
“I should check the bath,” I sigh. Kellan isn’t the only one frustrated, “Sorry, angel.” He says, falling next to me. I peck his lips, finding my tee to put back on and check the bath.
I should get a lock on my bedroom door, and we don’t need to worry about anyone coming in. The bath was ready for us. I turn off the warm water, running some cold into it as I inform Kellan.
“Hey, babe, it is ready if you still want to join?” I smile. He nods, climbs off the bed and follows me to the bathroom.
I lock the bathroom door, turn the cold water off, and we strip down. Kellan slips into the bath first, and I join, resting my back to his front. I sigh in relief as I feel the warm water surround me, my body relaxing.
“Can I spend the night?” he asks, kissing over my shoulders, “Yes, you are more than welcome, baby,” I reply.
I believe there are two reasons behind it. The first is he wants to stay with me, the second because he doesn’t want to stay alone after last night. I wish I knew what happened to him, what caused his nightmares, because maybe I couldn’t understand better, try to help him.
“Thank you.” He whispers, nuzzling my neck.
I am sure he will open up to me when he is ready. I can already see a difference in him within the short time I have known him towards me.
