*Blake's POV* Do I like that one of my friends is 'hooking up' with my sister? Absolutely Not. Do I like the fact that there's nothing I can do to stop it? Again, absolutely not. Am I going to have to buy Myra all new underware? Yes, yes I am. I woke up and 4:15AM to a bang on the door. I got up and answered. "Mitch? Johnny? What the hell?" "Training starts at 4:30 Saturday morning bud." Johnny said as they walked past me with a very pretty girl. "Blake this is my girlfriend Keelie." "It's nice to meet you. I think she's still sleeping." I said walking back in to the living room. I showed Keelie to the living room as Johnny and Mitch went up to get Myra. "SHH." she said walking over to where Drake was sleeping. She counted to three and jumped on him. "What the hell?" He said rolling over with her sitting on him. "How you doin kid?" She whispered and laughed. "Oh god you're back." He rolled over. "Hey you love me and you know it!" she whispered jumping up and down. "Plus, I've got to meet the girl that Mitchell says has you in a tizzy. He said she was pretty!" "Keel I'm serious don't embarass me." "Oh so I shouldn't tell her about the time--" he cut her off. "NO! I'm going back to sleep." She was funny! Just then Mitch and Johnny walked in to the living room. "She wasn't up there." Mitch said. "Try the back yard maybe?" I told them. *Myra's POV* I woke up at 4:00 because Johnny and Mitch said we were starting at 4:30. I got up, got dressed, braided my hair and walked down to the kitchen to make myself something to eat before they got here. I went out, sat at the picnic table, ate my breakfast sandwhich and drank my protein shake as I did some school work the boys brought home for me. It was around 20 after 4 when Mitch, Johnny, and a girl walked through the back door. "How long have you been out here girl?" Johnny asked as they walked over to me. "You guys said 4:30." I said as I took a bite. "I wanted to eat first." Mitch laughed. "My this is my girlfriend Keelie." She held out her hand, I took it to shake it. "Nice to meet you." I smiled at her. "I get it now." She smiled back. "Get what?" I asked. "Why Drake's in such a tizzy about you! You were right Mitchell, she is pretty!" "You too!" I smiled. "That." She said pointing to my sandwhich. "Looks delicious." I handed her one of the other two I had made and handed one to Johnny as well. "Where's mine?" Mitch asked. I pointed to Keelie. "That was yours." "What the hell Myra?" He laughed. "I like her more." I laughed. "Are you gonna be saying that once you win your golden gloves?" he asked. I pretended to think for a minute. "Yeah, probably." "I can't stand you." Mitch smiled and shook his head. "You love me." I smiled. "She's like a little me." Keelie laughed hugging me from behind and over my shoulders. "It was such a mistake introducing the two of you!" Mitch yelled and laughed. "Alright you two, lets go." Johnny said taking the last bite of his sandwhich. Mitch and I started the session off the way we have been all week. In and Out of the ring 20 times as fast as possible. *Drake's POV* I woke up around 8:30 to the boys staring out the window. "What are you guys looking at?" I asked. "Myra's training." Blake said. "We've been waiting for you to wake up before we go out." Cooper said. I got up, threw on a shirt, and walked out to Myra hitting the speed bag incredibly fast. She looked over at me. "Good morning." She said not stopping. Just then I saw someone turn around. "Boo bear!" Keelie screamed running toward me. "Oh no, I thought it was just a dream." I said throwing my head back. "Oh you love me!" She said hugging me. "Maybe Myra really is a little version of you." Mitch shook his head. "Oh no." I said. "That is not happening." "Hey! I'm not that bad!" Keelie yelled at me. "You threw a coconut pie across our living room at me on 4th of July Keel." I laughed. "You looked hungry." She shrugged. "I get it now." She whispered. "She's gorgeous." She smiled. "I know." I whispered back. "Johnny, how does she do that?" Cooper asked about Myra hitting the speed bag so fast. "Motion control. Once you get your hands used to going in a certain motion it's easier to control when you speed it up." He said. "Come here." Myra said stopping the hits. Cooper walked over to her and she showed him the motion as he hit the bag. "Now once you're used to it move a little faster." He started going faster. "Now speed it up as you start getting used to the pace." Cooper was now hitting the bag as fast as Myra had been, "I have no clue how I'm doing this." Cooper laughed. "The same way you do anything Coop. Once you get more used to it they come naturally. Kind of like walking and running. You start off slow. You get more used to it, you move faster the more comfortable you get." Keelie looked at me. "She's pretty incredible." "You just met her ." "Yeah, but if she can get you to settle down with one girl, there must be something there." She smiled. "Her heart." I smiled. "I've never met anyone with so much compassion for others. She defends people. One of our friends had a problem at home the other night and she was there in an instant. She didn't leave his side until his dad picked him up." "Why do you think that is?" Keelie asked. "She wasn't shown much compassion in her last relationship. That, and she was just raised to do the right thing. Bruce and Sheila made sure the three of them always thought about other people." Just then Blake walked over to us. "You're a girl right?" He pointed at Keelie. She laughed. "As far as I know." "Can I ask you something?" He asked. "Sure, whats up honey?" "I want to ask this girl to homecoming. But, I don't know how to do it." "You're going to try to get Lilly, to come all the way to North Carolina, for homecoming?" I asked him. "No, i***t. I told Lilly there's a girl here that I want to ask to homecoming if she was ok with it. I told her the situation, and she told me she loved me and thought it was great." "Uh, who is it?" I asked. "It's Cheyenne. Lilly obviously cant be here, and I really can't think of anyone else I'd rather ask. I want to make her homecoming special. You know?" I just looked at him smiling like an i***t. "Whose Cheyenne?" Keelie asked. "She's an autistic girl at our school that we walk to class every day so she's not bullied anymore. Myra almost dislocated a dude elbow for screwing with her." Jordan said walking over to us. "Hi Keel." "Hi Jord. And that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. My advice, do something nice. Bring her flowers. Her favorite treat. Make it a big thing." Blake smiled. "Thank you." "For what?" Micha said walking over to us. "Mic, this is Mitch's girlfriend Keelie." I introduced them. "Nice to meet you." He smiled. "Alright girl, get your gloves on while I set up the speaker." We heard Mitch say to Myra. "No." She said. "No what?" Johnny asked. "No speakers today. I want to go no music. I need to be able to focus without it." They both smiled at her. "Alright." *Myra's POV* I told Johnny and Mitch I didn't want music playing today for the end of the session. And today, I was more focused than I have been since we started. The boys were gathered around the ring with Mitch's girlfriend. And it felt great. I was sparring with will. And I was smiling. No one was blocked out, but I was still completely zoned in. I'm getting more comfortable with the little family my brothers and I have found here. I had great friends, a boyfriend who cares, a great trainer and coach. It couldn't be better. Mitch called the fight and we got out of the ring. "You did great today." He smiled at me. "You're going to make it to golden gloves for sure." "To make it to golden gloves I have to have matches." I laughed. He looked at Johnny. "You didn't tell her?" He asked "No, I thought you did?" Johnny said. "Tell me what?" "My you have a match 2 weeks from today." Mitch smiled. I hugged him and Johnny. "Wait, homecomings in two weeks." "That friday yes. Match isn't til saturday kid." Johnny laughed. "That's just going to be a long weekend for you." Blake laughed. "We cant wait to see you actually have a match." Cooper smiled. My face got flat. "Yeah." "It'll be fine My." Drake said putting his arm over me. "No matter what." he smiled. "Ok, I'm going to get ready. I've got to pick Lacey and Cheyenne up to go to the Mall." I said to everyone. "OOO can we come!" Keelie said running over to Mitch. "Please honey pleeeeease." I ran over to Mitch right after her. "Yeah, please will, pleeeeease." I said as we both hugged him. "Alright fine!" He yelled. Keelie hugged me before I went inside. "Hey!" Mitch pointed at the two of us just before I got to the door. "Do not double team me!" I shrugged. "You brought her!" and walked in the house. I jumped in the shower and washed up really quick. Put on a pair of jean shorts, a plain black tshirt, and a belt. I was blow drying my hair when I saw someone in the mirror standing behind me. I jumped. "Jesus Drake!" I yelled. "I literally yelled that I was in here My." He laughed. "I just came up to tell you I'd meet you at the Mall. I'm gonna ride home with Mitch and Keelie so he can wash up and I can talk to my mom about tonight since se wont be home." "Ok, so you're staying home tonight then?" I asked him. "My." He said. "Did you really forget?" He asked. "Noooo?" I said confused. "You're staying at my house tonight? Mom and Johnny are taking Riken on another college visit. Taylor's going to. My mom said the only way you were staying is if Mitch was home. I have to go talk to her about ground rules." "Oh yeah!" I said grabbing a bag, "what all do I need to bring?" "Here, I'll do it so you can finish getting ready." He took the bag and went to my closet. I was putting on my last bit of make-up. "My wheres your underw- never mind! I forgot!" "You're not funny!" I yelled at him. He peeked out of the closet. "It's pretty funny." He laughed. I rolled my eyes. "What baithing suit do you want?" He asked me. "You pick." I yelled. "Make sure you grab me a sweatshirt!" "Yeah ok!" He yelled back. He walked out and threw the bag on my bed. "So, are you going to let me pick your boxing outfit for the match too?" He asked. "I actually already have it. Todd sent it home with my dad when we left Minnesota. It's hanging on the closet door." He walked to the door and looked at it. "Are these really comfortable?" "Yes." I said. "They're easy to move in too." He smiled at me. "I'm so excited to see you in the first match. When you win maybe we can recreate this." He said taking the picture of Brady and I off the mirror. "You look so pretty smiling like that." "DRAKE LETS GO." We heard Will yell from downstairs. "That's my cue." He said giving me a kiss. "I'll see you in a few." he smiled and walked out. Ugh he makes my heart race. *Drake's POV* We were almost home when Mitch asked. "Be honest with me. Are you two having s*x?" "No. Mitch. We're not." "Are you guys planning to have s*x tonight?" he asked. "Oh my god, no!" I shook my head. "Your rooms clean. You asked mom to buy you stuff to attempt to cook. Cleaned the hott tub." He turned and looked at me. "Mitchell Adams! That does not mean they're going to have s*x. It just means he's doing something romantic and sweet, unlike like someone else in this car!" Keelie laughed. "I'm romantic!" Mitch yelled. "No, you aren't!" I couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah Mitch! Be a little more romantic!" "I'm proud of boo bear, taking his girlfriends past experiences and trying to show her not everyone will hurt her." Keelie smiled. "Yeah, what happened to her anyway. And what's the story with her back?" Mitch asked. I explained the whole situaton and everything that happened while we were in Minnesota. "She went through all of that, and has the heart she does?" Mitch asked. "It speaks wonders on her character." Keelie said with an upset look on her face. "And you didn't kill him?" She asked "I'm proud of you." I smiled at her. "It was the hardest thing of my life." We got home and walked in the house. "Drake honey, is that you?" I heard my mom yell from the kitchen. I walked in. "So, you're really doing this?" She asked unpacking the stuff I asked her to get, "You're really going to try to cook?" "I can read a cook book mom." I laughed. "Rules." She said pointing a spatula at me. "Stay out of my room. No drugs. CONDOMS -" I cut her off. "Mom we're not having sex." "Uh huh, CONDOMS, and do not get carried away with the drinking. I got you that bottle of wine Keelie reccommended." "Thanks mom. But we're really not having s*x. I just want to do something nice for her." "Youre so sweet honey." She said pinching my cheek. "I said the same thing." Keelie came in also pinching my cheek. I brushed her away. "Mitchell's almost done and then we can go." "Oh good! You can help Drake coordinate colors with Myra!" My mom smiled. "Absolutely!" She smiled. I gave my mom and Tay a kiss on the cheek before they left with Johnny and Riken. Mitch came down, we got in the car, and left for the mall. *Myra's POV* We were in Victoria's Secret so Blake could buy me new underware when Lacey held up this really beautiful lace sleep piece. "This is adorable." She said. "I actually already have it in a deep purple." I said scratching the back of my neck. "You're lucky Blake didn't find that." She laughed. "Where even are they?" I asked her and Cheyenne. "They said they were going to look around for a bit." Cheyenne said. "Blake said he didn't want to be here when you drain his bank account." Lacey laughed. Blake gave me his debit card before we walked in to the store. Serves him right for burning all my stuff! We spent a total of $243 dollars on my matching sets and walked out to see Micha walking up to us. He handed Cheyenne a huge pack of Oreo's. "Awe, thank you! These are my favorite!" Cheyenne laughed. Jordan came up to her with a huge 4ft teddy bear. "What the hell is going on?" Lacey laughed. "I have no clue." I stood there folding my arms. Cooper walked up to Cheyenne with a beautiful bouquet of different colored roses. "These are beautiful. But whats going on?" she asked. The three of them pointed to the escalator. Blake was at the top holding a sign. As he road down the escalator the words were becoming more visable. "Oh my heart!" I yelled. "I can't believe this!" Lacey shreiked with happiness. When he got to the bottom of the escalator he walked over to us. "So?" He smiled at Cheyenne. "Really?" She smiled. "There's no one else I'd rather go with." He smiled. "So will you go to homecoming with me?" "I'll have to ask my mom!" She laughed. "I already did. How did you think I knew your favorite snack." He laughed. He pointed over to the fountain to Cheyennes mom waving at us. We waved back. "Absolutely Blake!" She hugged him. "Great! Lets go find you a dress pretty girl!" Blake smiled taking her hand. "Your brother has the biggest heart!" Lacey said to me. "So does his sister." I heard someone walking behind me. I turned around and saw Drake. "Hi!" I said kissing him on the cheek. "So she said yes?" He asked. "Are Lacey and I the only ones that didn't know?" I asked. "Pretty much." Keelie said walking up to us with Mitch's arm over her. "Elizabeth asked me to help Drake color coordinate! So I'm guessing we're dress shopping today as well as underware?" She said pointing at my bags. "It's a long story." I laughed. She looked in the bag "There's got to be at least $250 worth of stuff in here." Drake looked at me with a kink in his eye. "Does he know how much you spent?" "Nope!" I said as we walked to one of the dress stores. We looked for about 45 minutes with Keelie throwing dress after dress at us. Then I found something. Lacey, Keelie and Cheyenne looked at me "Go put it on!" They yelled. It was a beautiful short wine red dress with a rhinestone embedded top, corset back, and flowy bottom. I walked out of the dressing room. "DRAKE!" Keelie yelled. "WHAT?" He said sprinting over. "You scared the hell out of me." He looked at me. The boys all ran over as well. "Whoah." Cooper said. Drake back handed his chest. "Don't slap me man, but whoah!" He just kept looking at me, then he smiled. "Please tell me you pick that one." "No, but you just did for me." I smiled and laughed. This was the dress.
