Leah:

I woke up from a deep sleep but I’m having trouble to open my eyes, they’re so heavy-with a great force I managed to open it slowly. Ouch! That bright lights hurting my eyes. I wait for a few seconds before I opened my eyes fully, I was greeted with unfamiliar sight but instantly I knew I was in a hospital. I curse myself for being so weak, I sigh inwardly but at least I could get a good sleep, I haven’t felt so refresh like this before. I look around to see Teddy was sleeping soundly on a chair beside me while my boys were sleeping on the couch. I can’t stop my hand from stroking Teddy’s hair gently, they must be overrated because I’m sure I was tired that’s why I fainted. Such a cutie, I thought to myself. I was still stroking his hair when Teddy’s eyes suddenly went wide open, his gaze was fixed on me. I smiled. In return, instantly he looks surprised then he sat up straight.
“Are you okay?” he asked me while looking all over my body cautiously. His voice must have been loud because in a moment the boys were also awake and gathered around my bed. I gave them my sweetest smile, “Good morning”, I greeted them even if it’s barely a whisper. I stroked my neck gently to show them that I’m thirsty, luckily they all understand except my cute Josh, he could be dumb sometimes. If he’s the only one here, I would die in thirst. After I chugged down the water handed by David, I feel better and I got my voice back, not like the hoarse one just now.

“I’m hungry”, I said to them, but what I got only stares, upset stares especially from Liam, different from Teddy because I saw a hint of guilty in his eyes deep brown eyes. I wait for someone to response.

“I’ll go get it”, Teddy said it suddenly, I honestly didn’t expect that from him. He went out from the room immediately after saying that, not even give me a chance to say something. Did I do something wrong?

“Seriously Alexandra?” Liam’s question caught me off guard. I shot him a confused look. When he used my middle name that can’t be good, it’s our thing since we’re kids.

“OD? Pills?” he exclaimed, he really looks furious right now.

“Yeah, I thought for someone who has a background of medical you should know the correct use of pills”, this time Josh butt in, expressing his upset. Ouch.
“Why wouldn’t you tell us if you felt sick before?” David now shot me the same look too. I think it’s better if I continue my peaceful sleep now.

I sighed. “I’m sorry, I just don’t want all of you to worry about me. I don’t want to be a burden, you guys have enough problem in happened in your company, I don’t want to add it more”, I said, feeling sorry for making them all worried. Liam sighed.

“You really got us scared this time Leah”, Josh just shaking his head.

“Relax boys, I’s not like I’m going to die, I just need a sleep and look at me now, I’m all good and dandy”, I wiggled my body and limb to show them that I’m okay instead, the moment I said about dying just now their face were dark and tensed.
“You’ve been out for two days now Leah”. David said that as a matter a fact.

Two days?!!!!

“Papa. Did papa know about this?”
“So you can kill me when you wake up? No. I just told him you were busy.” I breathe out relief sigh. I saw their face filled with exhaustion and that makes me feel guilty.

“I’m really sorry for troubling all of you, can you forgive your big sister?” I gave them my famous puppy eyes so they could forgive me right away.

“Next time tell us if something is wrong, you got that Leah Quinn? Or I tell dad about this.” Liam gave me serious look but I know he forgave me already, told you my tactic always worked.

“Group hug!” I enthusiastically yelled.

Josh’s face light up and quickly hugged me excitedly followed by reluctant David, Liam sighed before joining them. After we broke the hug, I saw their eyes welled with tears and my heart just dropped at the sight.

“Please don’t die sis, if you die I wouldn’t have any sister to take care of again”, Josh’s words just broke my heart. He’s the cheerful person among three of them, seeing him cry makes me sad too.

“I love you two the same as I love Liam, so I wouldn’t leave my brothers. I promise.” Josh then hugged me again, then David, then Liam. Another touching group hugs.
“Awwwwww, don’t cry you three crybaby. It’s ugly.” I teased them then laughed because soon after I said that, they were wiping off their tears quickly pretending to be tough again.

The boys went home to rest after Ian came back with food leaving me and Ian only in the room. I decided not to call him Teddy because I wanted to get use to Ian. Now I’m on my bed eating the food in silence, awkward silence because Teddy- I mean Ian was staring at me the whole time while sitting on a chair beside the bed. I didn’t dare to look at him so I just stare the plate, I don’t even know what am I eating right now because Ian’s stare really bugging me. After I finished my food, I went to clean myself up with the help from him then he tuck me back into the bed before went to sit on the couch busy doing some of his paperwork. He still doesn’t say any words beside ‘are you okay’, his silence killing me out! He must be really mad at me right now. I don’t really in the mood to sleep because I need to say sorry to him.

“Um-”, the moment I said that, his head snapped into my direction giving me serious look. His gaze made me speechless and hurt. He hated me. I quickly hide myself inside the blanket because I can’t bear the look he gave me just now. I never saw that kind of look from him before, I didn’t realize I was crying. I called my brothers crybaby, now I’m the one who being a crybaby. I turn myself away from him and silently sobbing because I would feel embarrass if he caught me crying. I remembered what Liam said earlier.

“He’s the one who lost his mind when you were unconscious; just try to understand his feelings for now sis.” Maybe he really is mad at me because of my stupid action. That just makes me even sadder.

Suddenly I feel that my blanket was thrown off forcefully from me and I saw him looking down at me with unreadable expression, our eyes met each other intently.  My eyes were red from all the crying. I don’t want him to see me like this so I quickly hid my face on the pillow. He touched my head gently then I felt a kiss on my hair. Simple act from him that makes my heart explode into thousands of flowers, stomach churn and I completely forgot why was I crying just now. His kiss lingers a bit longer before his lips leaves my hair replaced by his large hand that gently stroking my hair now. I relaxed and succumb myself into his intoxicating touch. His hand stroking my head until it reached my shoulder then it stop for a while before I felt myself was being turned around forcefully by him so that I was facing him. His lips suddenly slammed into mine and he kissed me roughly, long gone the passionate kiss like the first time. He ravished my lips like there’s no tomorrow, like his life clutching on it and I found myself slowly giving in to him, I kissed him back.

We break our kiss for a moment to breathe some air before he slammed his lips again but this time it’s a passionate kiss. He savor my lips by gently nibbling it, his tongue were long gone invaded my mouth and I allowed him to do that. I also enjoy this moment because I know the tension around us already gone. When we broke our kiss again, he rest his forehead on my forehead, eyes closed while taking a deep breath. He opened it and stares at my face like he’s memorizing it and then he wipes off my tears gently. After that, he climbed up onto my bed, took the blanket that he threw away just now before covering our body and then he hug me from behind. In spooning position, he strokes my side again while inhaling my hair scent then he hugs me tighter. I didn’t feel this is uncomfortable, somehow I feel safe and warm. I’m extremely feel guilty for my bad action that caused all of them worried sick, the night went by as I let Ian’s warmness engulf me letting me slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up again with nice warm feeling surrounding my body and of course Ian’s arm that tightly holding my waist, it makes me nervous but I need to keep it cool because I don’t want to show that his touch affects me. The moment I opened my eyes, I was greeted by his beautiful brown eyes that staring right back at me but this time it’s filled with happiness and relief. He then smiled at me, his smile just swooned me. How I miss his smile, I am definitely sure I’m blushing crimson red right now so I quickly hide my face in the crook of his neck, my act just earned a deep chuckle from him, I smiled happily, at least he’s happy. I realized that I really miss his bright smile that I used to see and involuntarily I snuggled more into his body trying to take his warmness even more. He seems to like it because he hugs me so close while holding the back of my head like he doesn’t want to let me go and honestly I don’t want him to. No words exchanged yet we feel content by each other, I could go all day hug-

“I got-” Josh suddenly barge inside causing us to startle at his sudden appearance and I quickly shoved Ian away from me making him fell off from the bed resulting a loud thud and a groan. In no time I’m in sitting position on my bed ignoring Ian who still hurting on the floor.

“…food.” Josh managed to finish his words while he’s standing at the door with left hand holding the door knob and his right holding a box of pizza. He looks at us confusedly before his face drastically changed into a wide grin. This can’t be good.

“Well well well, wha-”

“What are you doing still standing here?” Josh’s words were cut off in the middle by David and Liam who just got here looking at him weirdly.

“You guys wouldn’t believe what I just saw, they-”

“Josh,” this time his words were cut off by Ian who now already standing beside my bed giving him the most deadly glare, I can’t even respond or move my body because of this embarrassing moment. I think anyone who saw Ian’s eyes would immediately shut their mouth, it’s scary! Josh looks at Teddy blankly for a second before turning his gaze back to his buddies.

“They slept together!” he exclaimed excitedly. I should know that Josh never scared of anyone even if it is his cousin. Yup. That’s Josh there.
“As in sex?!” Now Liam was the one who don’t make any sense.

I saw Ian pinched his nose bridge while sighing heavily at their antics. I found this is so funny so I laughed, I laughed at their nonsense idea. Ian‘s face lit up seeing me laughing before smiling fondly at me.
“No silly” I said before laughing more.
“Good, lets eat, I’m starving”, David said while gesturing others into the room before closing the door. I heard Ian sighing again so I turned my eyes towards him whose now shaking his head frustrated.

“Pizza? Really? How’s Leah gonna eat that? She’s sick you dimwit,” Ian said to Josh seriously.

“What? I’m craving for pepperoni pizza.”

“What does your craving had to do with Leah? Why you even have cravings?” this time Ian gets even mad at his cousin who casually eating the pizza.

“Never mind Ian, I’m fine with pizza.” I tried to persuade him but truly I’m really fine with it as long they are happy. Ian shot me the look that makes me shut my mouth, he’s serious about my food so there’s no room for me to argue. Luckily Liam save the day by ordering edible food for me that is after he hit Josh’s arm, causing poor Josh to scowl at him. For the first time I have breakfast with all of them and truly it makes my heart swell with happiness witnessing Liam and Josh pick fight with each other while David and Ian engaged in serious discussion maybe about their company. Talk about company, how’s my clinic?

“Um, how’s clinic?” immediately four of them stop to focus at me, this is awkward. By judging their hard gaze it must be not good.

“Jellyface, you can’t work there anymore.” I look at Ian demanding for explanation.
“At least not for now Leah.” He continued.

“Do you realize what are you saying right now? You know it’s my job right? You can’t simply say it like that, I need job to survive, to live.”

“I’ll take care everything that you need.”
“Why? Can any of you tell me why do I have to quit my job?” I asked rather desperate because I don’t feel happy with their arrangement. An arrangement without my consent!

“My enemy in business right now threatening me using you, I can’t risk your safety Jellyface.” Ian looks at me pleadingly.

“Trust us Leah, all we want to do is to protect you.” This time David supports Ian.
“I don’t understand,” Their statement doesn’t match with anything, I’m confused.

“We found out that my enemy tried to harm you but before they even get to do that, you got sick so I don’t want another attempt when you came out of hospital. At least for now Leah, until I catch them. I could give you job at my company, this way I could keep you safe and sound near me.” I still contemplated at what Ian said, enemy? His company? Am I in great danger?

“I don’t want history repeats itself sis.” Now Liam said something after being silent for a while. I know what exactly he refers to, our mom. My dad lost her because of business enemy and now the same thing happened to me. “I don’t know anything about office work, I’m a vet!” I agree with their plan because I know they know the best for me but I have no idea on how to be a staff. Ian’s eyes just lit up when I agreed just now and the boys look downright eager.

“We can guide you Leah,” David said it with a satisfied smile. Josh who kept quiet just now suddenly grinning mischievously, I don’t think I would like what he’ll say later on.

“I forgot to remind you, we move out from our house.” He said it casually.

“What?!!” I said it incredulously.
“I told you to take it slow asshole!” Liam then hit Josh’s arm again.
“Ow that hurts you dick! I just can’t keep it longer!” Now Josh scowling back at him.
“Where do we live now?”
“Of course with your beloved Teddy!” Josh happily announced. I gape widely at them, they can’t be serious. Ian just glared at Josh.
“Yeah, you live with Ian while three of us live at the penthouse below your floor. Nice one right sis?” Liam said it happily.
“Any further questions ask Ian,” David cut me off when I tried to ask more.

“If you don’t agree, I would tell your dad about that OD.” Did Josh just threaten me?

“You wouldn’t dare,” I glared at him. He fought back, “try me.” That time, I know they just won and I don’t have any right to argue. I huffed in annoyance and all of them smiling victoriously.
