Freya's POV After spending three nights in the hospital with my son, Torvi came up everyday with Andrew to see us, we finally are being released to head home."Hello Freya, how are we feeling this morning? Are you both ready to go home today?""Definitely, I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again, not that I don't live it here with you guys constantly help takebcare of us."The nurse laughed as she took Stephen's vitals then checked me one last time."Do you want to shower before you leave or wait till you get home?""I'd like a quick one while I'm here, you know, just my body. Then I will take a full one once I'm back home, my hair is still gross from the last one considering he kept forgetting the conditioner."We laughed together while we had some small talk before breakfast was brought in to me."When you are finished eating I'll come back to keep an eye on little man here while you wash up. We are all going to miss you both so much, plus that little Torvi coming in every day.""
Five Years LaterFreya's POV "Mom! Tell Stephen he has to stop drawing on my wall!"Walking into Torvi's bedroom I find Stephen with chalk all over his hands and clothes as he is drawing all over the chalk board wall we made inside Torvi's room, covering some things that she had already done.Grabbing the chalk from Stephen he starts to get upset because he wanted to keep drawing everywhere. "I want to color mommy, please!""Come on silly boy, you know you aren't supposed to go in your sister's room, let alone draw over her things. I'll get you the easel out so you can draw on there."Walking out I grabbed the kids size easel out of the closet in the hall before seeing it up in the sun room so he could paint or color, or even do a chalk drawing if he so chooses."Thanks mommy!"He set to making a mess but was all smiles while doing so. Shaking my head with a smile on my face I walked back to check on Torvi."Sorry bug, maybe I will do a wall in his room now too, he's old enough. Do y
"Dad!""You are going to welcome them with open arms young lady!""This is so unfair! I shouldn't have to want them here just because you decided! I don't want a step mom, I don't need one and now you're having her kid move in too! I haven't even met him.""Stop your whining, you haven't met him, I know, but he's a good kid and he's coming here without knowing anyone plus starting a new school, you will be nice.""Ugh, who told you to run off and marry someone anyway!?"I stormed down the hall before slamming my bedroom door closed.I can't believe my father just up and decides he's in love with this woman after dating for only a few months.They went away for a weekend get away and he comes home to tell me they eloped! Now she is moving into our home, but not just her, her son is coming as well.Completely absurd! Not just sharing my house with these people but my bathroom as well.My bedroom is a Jack and Jill style, connected to the bedrooms, I use the second room for my artistic o
Freya's POV After my shower I wrapped a towel around myself, my long hair dripping, sticking to me so I wrapped it up in another towel before drying off completely to get dressed.I could hear Andrew shuffling around in the room when he knocked on the bathroom door making me jump."Sorry, 2 minutes and you can open your door" I yelled out as I unlocked his door quietly before heading to mine as quickly as possible.Just as I was about to close mine his door swung open, barely making eye contact as I kicked mine closed.I swear he was smirking. Getting dressed I threw my hair up quickly before running downstairs to say goodnight to my dad.When I got down there the front door was closing, "Did he leave?"My dad turned to me "Yes, he will be back tomorrow with his mom and a small moving truck for his furniture, he said you were nice and welcoming. Thank you sweet heart, I'm sorry he caught you off guard, I didn't realize he was coming over. I guess he decided to come and check out the
Freya's POVThis day seems to be taking forever, but why? It's not as if I'm anxious to get home right? Well actually I am. What if he goes in my room? I forgot to close my bathroom door! Sitting at lunch with some of my friends, Addy telling them about how my new, quote on quote, brother, will be starting school here soon. They all proceeded in asking questions about him but I just sat there eating while Addy kept going on and on as if she had already met him when the table got very quiet.Looking up at the girls I noticed they were staring wide eyed behind me as I watched their eyes moving until the landed above my head, then that all familiar voice rang out sending that shiver up my spine again. "Freya...."I slowly turned my head, my heart racing when I looked back before trailing his body up to his face, I could feel my face heating up as I made eye contact.He smiled down at me making my heart jump before it continued to race, I smiled back at him as he sat himself down next
Chapter 4Freya's POV"What? I mean, yes, yes I won, but you... you were there?"That's when it hit me, he was there, he was the hot guy that took second place, the guy I couldn't take my eyes off, oh my God! He's the guy I crushed hard on that whole weekend we were there, no wonder he seemed familiar! "Yes, I was there, you won over me Freya, of course of course deserved the win, you are phenomenal. You are also perfect, in the last year you have truly blossomed, I thought you were pretty then, now you are something entirely different and I get to share a home with you, a bathroom with you."My heart was in my throat when he suddenly let me go, my arms falling to my sides as I tried to breath."Come on Freya, show me our art class now." He walked out of the room leaving me standing there in shock at what just happened.He's known exactly who I was this entire time, he knew when he showed up at the house the other night, knew he was going meet me officially.I can't believe I didn't
Chapter 5Freya's POV continued....Driving in silence, something felt off, before he was so dominate and demanding yet now that we are alone in his truck he is quiet and seems to be stewing about something."Okay, what's wrong? Did I upset you somehow?""What are you talking about, how could you upset me?"His tone was cold, distant, I really did do something to upset him, but what?Oh...."Is it that I told Addy to have her mom come get me in the morning?"Silence filling the truck, it was awkward. Great we are going tobget home and my dad is going to think I was rude and upset him already, before he even spends his first night at his new home."Look, I'm sorry."He glanced at me before looking at the road again so I continued. "I only told her to have her mom get me because, well, it's what we have always done, but also because why would I make you wake up that early when you don't have to just to drive me somewhere you don't even have to be at for another week? I wasn't meaning
Andrew's POVWhen she grabbed my hand to stop me from wiping off her eyelash my heart skipped a beat, I actually felt nervous of her light touch but even more so by the way she maintained eye contact with me as she blew it off my thumb.Feeling tingles by touching her was one thing, feelings I cam control because I know what is going to happen, but her grabbing me, holding onto me, that unexpected touch, that was something different all on its own.Her eyes looking into mine were indescribable, my want to pull her into me, crash my lips to hers was overwhelming but I knew I couldn't do that, it's wrong to even think she would be okay with something like that from me.All I want is to get close to her but I need to back off, but how when she looks at me like that, the breeze gently blowing through her hair making her scent of vanilla with the hint of lavender surround me, she was breathtaking and doesn't even realize it.So when she let my hand go them turned to skip off down the strip
