Wow the parts are getting really long!! I love this one <3 don't be fooled by the title though ;)
•Chapter 28 - I'm Moving In• •Kai• The infernal sound of the doorbell constantly ringing was the one thing that brought me out of the sweetest sleep I had probably ever had. Dreams that swirled through my mind in twists and turns suddenly disintegrated into a world of black, and then my eyes opened. Ammi lay on her stomach the other side of the bed, violet hair splayed out above her on the mattress, her head having slipped off the pillow in her slumber. She had clearly discarded her clothing during the night, as her t-shirt, shorts and underwear were strewn across the end of the king size bed. I sighed. There was nothing I wanted to do more in that moment than crawl over to her and tuck her into my chest, keeping her small frame warm and snuggled. However, the pest that clearly enjoyed the sound of the front doorbell had not given up, and wast going to any time soon. I sighed, and climbed out of bed, pulling on my grey sweat pants but not bothering with a t-shirt. I moped out of the room and down the hall, staring at the silhouette through the glass of the door with tired, blurry eyes. I weakly turned the key in the lock and opened the heavy wooden door. I was immediately greeted with the irritating sound of a loud, ear-piercing welcome. "Ayyyy!!! Little Brother, how you been boi??" My visitor pretty much shouted. Ugh, Aidan. All hope of getting rid of the visitor was gone, now that I knew it was Aidan. He wouldn't leave until I physically kicked him out of the door, and I really didn't have the energy for a fight right now. I was forced into a violently tight bro hug and handshake, Aidan grinning and laughing in glee of our reunion. "How in the shit do you know where I live?" I groaned as he invited himself inside. I shut the door behind him, pissed that he was now in, and wouldn't go out for all the money in the world. Aidan was my best friend as a child. We were always together; inseparable. The type of trouble we got up to was just a centimetre away from being illegal. As we aged, we got into the idea of being assassins, and then... Well... We were in. Aidan ran from it when he was fifteen, and went back to his family. He offered to let me move in, but I was way too in love with being an assassin to let it go that easily. I hadn't seen him in... Five years? I did the math in my head, working out that if Aidan was three years older than me, he must be around 20, 21 now... "Dude, they televised your court trial, after that, finding you was a doddle" Aidan chuckled loudly, sauntering into the kitchen and dropping his jacket down on the breakfast bar. "Fucking hell Tucker, you must be minted, this is the biggest fridge I've ever seen" he continued to be loud and rowdy. I feared Ammi would wake up, and the last thing she needed in her life was a ball of annoying energy like Aidan Samuels. "Could you keep the volume down a bit" I sighed, taking his jacket and hanging it up before dusting off the counter top. "Why, you got company?" He grinned widely, eyes glowing with the possibility. "No" my voice was dripping with denial, and knowing me as well as he did, Aidan detected it within the single syllable leaving my lips. He had shot out of the kitchen in a heartbeat, and was sprinting down the hall before I could react. It was my mistake for leaving the bedroom door open, and also another mistake for moving my room into the living room when I redecorated (it's the closest to the kitchen). Aidan saw the bedroom-like furniture through the open door and shot into the room, me a footstep behind him. I would have dragged him out be before he could see/wake Ammi, but there was no point. He had spied her frame amongst the duvet, head already peeking up over the warmth of the comforter. Shit. "Hi, I'm Aidan Samuels" Aidan grinned his signature sexy smile, and approached Ammi with his hand out for her to shake. "I'm Ammi! I love meeting new people!" She giggled, reaching out for Aidan's hand. I leapt forward as with Ammi's movement the duvet moved and almost exposed her. "No, no, Ammi, don't do that" I told her quickly, stepping in front of her and pulling the covers back up over her. "why not?" She pouted, letting her hand fall to the bed in disappointment. "You're naked babe" I whispered, but clearly not quietly enough. Aidan shoved me out of the way and sat on the edge of the bed beside Ammi. "Do you always look this gorgeous waking up?" He flirted, pushing a strand of hair gently behind her ear. Ammi giggled and blushed like a little girl, her face breaking out into the cutest little smile. "Alright that's it" I sighed, becoming impatient. "Aidan, in the hall, Ammi get some clothes on baby" I gave Aidan's instructions harshly, but Ammi's softly and lovingly. She smiled at me and giggled an "ok!!". "Aidan, hall" I told my best friend again, pointing towards the bedroom door. He slouched out of the room and I followed, shutting the door behind us to leave Ammi get changed. I immediately interrogated him. "What the hell are you doing?!" I exclaimed in a quiet voice, not wanting Ammi to hear us talking about her. "What? You didn't sleep with her, I know that much" he chuckled with a knowing smile and a wink. Even after all these years, Aidan could still read me like an open book when no one else could. Even if I had considered sex last night, I wouldn't have gone through with it. She's too young, and it scares me to hurt her again. "You don't know that" I lied to his face, wanting to prove the fact that she was mine and he couldn't have her. "Uh, yeah I do" he told me pointedly. "Still, you don't understand Aidan-" I began, trying to explain the fact that she was mentally ill. Aidan didn't bother waiting for me to finish speaking, he just cut in. "I understand she's smoking hot" he grinned, looking at the bedroom door as if desiring to enter. He didn't because we both knew that there was no way in hell I would let him come out alive. "Aidan!" I yelled to catch his attention. "Ammi lives in a mental hospital" I told him slowly so it could sink through the thick layers of wood most likely embedded in his head. "She's seriously ill. She lost her mind when I was put away. I'm only allowed her over one night a week. This is the first she's stayed, and I swear to god that if you screw this up for me I will personally cut off your testicles and make you swallow them" I growled at him from deep in my throat, eyes burning with raw hell to prove just how serious I was. "She's crazy? No joke?" Aidan fathomed. "She's not crazy" I spat at him, the word lighting a violent flame inside me that hadn't been ignited in over a year. "Ok, ok. I won't screw it up, I promise" he held his hands up in an innocent surrender. "Good. Oh, and don't say anything to her about the mental thing, you're bound to put your foot in your mouth dude" I chuckled. However, I didn't expect what was coming, and if I had, I wouldn't have been laughing at all. "Sure thing, but on one condition" Aidan's face fell deathly serious. "I'm moving in". Shit.
