Hey where’d you guys go ? Dustin asked from the armchair, still playing on that addictive iPhone.
I couldn’t help but blush at that question. Oh, just finding some rope. I shrugged.
Dustin nodded and went back to playing his game.
Wasting no time, I started tying knots around Tyler’s wrists first. If any of them happened to wake up earlier, then at least the most dangerous one would be tied up.
After finally tying up each boy’s wrists, I let out a sigh of relief.
So who’s up for some grilled cheese ? I turned my head to see Nathan walk in, all showered and now in a pair of black jeans and a black sweatshirt which looked really comfortable. His hair was wet and sticking up in a sexy way.
I realized he’d caught me checking him out by the way his lips were up in a cocky smirk.
I glared at him but he simply just winked back.
Me ! Dustin exclaimed, putting his game to the side now.
Me too. Chop chop now. I ordered, motioning Nathan to hurry.
He rolled his eyes, before going into the kitchen to make some food.
Can we see if they have any Christmas movies playing ? Dustin asked me, offering me the TV remote.
Okay. I smiled, taking the remote and turning it on. I flipped through the channels and finally found the best Christmas movie of all time playing. Elf.
I love this movie ! Dustin and I exclaimed at the same time, getting all excited.
I grinned down at the kid as he immediately got occupied with the movie. Pulling my knees up to my chest and getting comfortable, I sighed in content.
Definitely not the worst Christmas ever.
I quickly put the cell phone back onto the table as I heard footsteps emerging from the kitchen.
For you, your highness. Nathan said dryly, making me look up innocently to see him holding out a plate of grilled cheese for me.
I rolled my eyes and took it. Thank you, peasant. I saw him scowl at me before turning back to the movie. It was currently at the part where Buddy’s dad was bailing him out of jail.
And for you my good sir. Nathan said now to Dustin who giggled and took his grilled cheese with a thank you.
After Nathan came back with his own plate of grilled cheese, the three of us continued to watch the movie, laughing every five minutes. No matter how many times I’d watched this movie, it still got a good laugh out of me.
After about half an hour, a loud groan from our right caused us to turn and see Max’s head slowly moving.
Nathan. How many times do I have to tell you… You need to stop knocking people out with those damn gadgets of yours. He growled, before blinking a few times and then noticing his tied up hands.
I turned to shoot Nathan an unimpressed look.
He simply shrugged. Well now that you’re finally awake, we should start talking. Nathan said, switching off the TV.
Hey ! Dustin and I protested at the same time.
You guys can watch this later, right now we have some important stuff to discuss. Nathan explained, giving us both a stern look.
Alright which dead man tied me up !? Tyler growled, now wide awake too.
I gulped and looked to Nathan for help.
Your own blood that’s who. Nathan quickly ratted me out.
Oh he was gonna pay for that…
Tyler turned his head towards me slowly with a scary glare.
Oh come on, he’s the one who told me to do it ! Plus, might I remind you that he’s also the one who knocked you all out. I defended, smirking at Nathan after.
Yeah man, what was the point of that ? Landon groaned out, only now coming into consciousness.
Because you were all fighting like a bunch of girls. Dustin explained simply, causing the room to grow silent.
That’s still no reason to knock us out ! Landon protested.
Yeah man, not cool. Jordan agreed with Landon.
Okay whatever, sorry I knocked you out. Happy ? Now can we all shut up and listen to me ? Or am I gonna have to gag you guys too. Nathan gave them each a long stern look.
After a lot of glaring, flaring nostrils and rolling eyes, the four boys sighed and agreed to Nathan.
Good. Now. Tomorrow is a big day for us. So we have to make sure we all know what to expect. Let’s go over this one last time. Nathan said, capturing everyone’s attention. Well, everyone’s except mine and Max’s. I was currently mocking Nathan since I was still sitting on the sofa with his standing back to me, while Max was trying to make the weirdest faces when Nathan’s eyes were not on him. I blame the fact that Nathan sounded too much like my chemistry teacher right now.
So, the first step. We knock out Ryland’s guards. I double checked with Ryland and he’s taking along four of them. Anyways, after we knock three- Nathan was cut off by a loud knock on the door.
