He gave me a small smile. Austin. He simply said, before walking out the door and leaving.
I turned back around to face everyone. Without wasting any more time, I started talking. Well, we didn’t really need Cody anyways. Sorry for wasting your time. I apologized, before walking over to the couch and taking a seat. I could feel a pair of eyes on me and looked up to see Nathan staring at me with concern.
You could continue. I told him, almost pleadingly, before looking down.
You didn’t waste our time princess, it helps. Nathan spoke softly to me, before turning back around and continuing to talk.
My love for him only grew. If it even was love. I was pretty sure it was.
Since Cody knows about the plan now, we won’t really need to knock him out. Plus, this way Ryland won’t get suspicious on the lack of guards he has. Nathan started. So once we get to the airport, we can drag the suitcase in which Skylar’s going to be stuffed in, and find the closest looking air hostess to Skylar and knock her out. Nathan explained. But without actually hurting her. He added sternly.
How do you plan on doing that then ? Max asked curiously.
Don’t worry about it. Nathan simply said with a smirk. So after we swap their outfits, Skylar boards the plane as an air hostess, along with the rest of us. Once we all land there, we’ll have to sneak Skylar into the car somehow. From there, we get to the destination and pull Hana out and escape. Nathan finished with a smile.
Everyone stared at Nathan with approval and agreed that the plan was good.
So, can you untie us now ? Landon asked Nathan.
Skylar can do that, I gotta go set up the dinner table. Nathan said, shooting me a smirk, before walking towards the kitchen.
I sighed, before getting up and walking towards the four tied up boys. Hmm, where to start…
Hey Skylar, you look really pretty today. Max said to me, catching me off guard.
I looked to see his overly-large smile and realized soon that his compliment was only for his own sake. Deciding to play along, I smiled at him brightly. Awe, thanks Max. I gushed, before walking over to Landon and starting to untie his hands.
Max looked at me shocked, before glaring at me.
Haha ! Best-friends always come first. Landon grinned at Max, before sticking his tongue out immaturely, causing me to laugh.
It’s not your face on her shirt now is it ? Max retorted smugly.
Well my face is permanently inked onto her skin forever. Landon smirked, causing me to give him a look.
You tattooed his face on yourself !? Max exclaimed, sounding hurt and shocked.
No, gross. I cringed at Landon, walking over to Max and freeing him of his binds next.
Not yet is what she means. Landon clarified.
I’d tattoo your face on my arm Sky. Max spoke proudly.
Please don’t ever do that. I looked at him with disgust.
Hey Sky. I really appreciate having you as a sister. Tyler said to me from my right, thick sarcasm dripping from his words as he looked down at his tied wrists.
Hey Landon, wanna untie Jordan there for me ? I asked Landon with a smile, pretending I hadn’t heard Tyler.
Sure thing ! He replied cheerily, before walking over to Jordan and starting to untie his wrists.
I shot Tyler a smug look, causing him to glare back at me.
After Landon and I had untied Max and Jordan, we all started to walk off to help Nathan.
Ha-ha. Very funny. Now could someone please untie me ? Tyler called out to us.
I looked at Landon just as he looked at me. DIBS NOT ME ! We both yelled at the same time, before running to the kitchen and away from a yelling Tyler, the others’ footsteps quick to follow.
Max, Landon, Dustin, Jordan, and I all laughed as we entered the kitchen where Nathan was cooking something.
Mmm. Smells good. I said, my nose inhaling the delicious smell of stuffed turkey and mashed potatoes.
My boyfriend had truly impressive skills in all areas. He was definitely a keeper.
When will it be ready ? Max asked his younger brother, looking over his shoulder to see what he was cooking on the stove.
I’m starving’. Jordan pitched in.
It will be ready when you both shut up and walk away. Nathan replied.
I hate it when you say that. Jordan groaned, causing me to laugh.
Can I have a bite ? Max asked now, stepping closer to Nathan as he calmly continued his artistic style of cooking.
Come at me bro. Nathan stopped to give Max a challenging and heated look.
I watched as the two brothers had a stare off, before Max sighed and stepped away from Nathan again. Probably due to the fact that he was holding a large knife in his hand.
Hey, you’re his girlfriend. Maybe you could steal some for us. Jordan said suddenly, turning to me with a hopeful expression.
Before I could respond, Nathan let out a scoff. Won’t make a difference.
I glared at the side of his head, before eyeing a dishcloth on the counter and grinning slowly. You sure about that ? I asked Nathan with a smug look.
He turned to me briefly with a smug look of his own. You have nothing to use against me, so- He started, but couldn’t finish since my signature battle cry cut him off as I ran towards him, grabbing the dish cloth I had seen earlier, and tackling him to the ground.
Wow, you guys are way too impatient and excessive about everything. Dustin said, causing Nathan and I to freeze and look up at the kid. Even Landon, Max and Jordan stopped laughing to look at him.
Shaking his head at our behavior, Dustin turned around and left the kitchen.
The room was left in a weird silence, but that was only for a few seconds, before I yelled in Nathan’s face, trying to gag him while he tried to flip me over onto the ground. The three other boys’ laughter filled the room once again and we continued on, not caring that we were all acting like Dustin’s age when he was acting like ours.
I guess you all know who ended up winning the little wrestling match and banned us all from the kitchen after…
–
Putting the last plate on the drying rack, I wiped my hands dry before turning around to Nathan. Are you sure there’s no more leftovers ? I asked him for the tenth time, pouting.
Yes, I’m positive there’s no more leftovers. He said with a roll of his eyes. I watched as he took the garbage bag out of the can and replaced it with an empty one.
But it was so good ! I whined, missing that lovely dinner we had just finished.
