His mate

middle brother

Emma's POV:

Beep Beep Beep

"It's ok, I'm getting up!" I mumble hopping Eric hears it so he doesn't try to "wake me up"

"LA- LA- LA - LA - LA, WA- WA- WA- WAKE UP" Eric sings and then he jumps on top of me, making unable to get up.

"Eric, get off of me!" I say annoyed

"I won't if you speak to me like that, you have to say ' Oh Eric, the most handsome boy there is, please, get off of me, and I will kiss you on the cheek and I definitely won't throw you a pillow, scouts honour" 

"What the-" He puts his disgusting hand on top of my mouth and I lick it but he doesn't budge

"No, my Lil sis doesn't swear! Now, say it! " He says as he takes his filthy hand off my mouth

"No, I won't say it!" I almost yell

"Ok, you asked for it!" And just as he finishes saying those words he starts tickling me

"No, no, I- I'm so so-sorry!" I say between tickles

"Then say it" He answers with his mischievous smirk on his face, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement!

"O-ok, Ok, Oh Eric, the mo-most handsome bo-bo-y there i-is, please, get o-off of me, and I will kiss you on the cheek and I definitely won't throw you a pillow, sco-scouts honour" I say, he stops tickling me and puts his right hand on his chin pretending to be thinking. After a while, he leans in so that I can kiss him on the cheek. I kiss him on the cheek and he gets off of me. He is almost reaching the door when I say

"Oh, and Er?" 

He turns around confused 

"You forgot something, my dear brother." I say as I discreetly grab a pillow behind my back

"I was never a scout!" I say as I throw him the pillow. I start laughing so much

"Yo-your fa-face! Oh my god " I say while laughing and he just stands there with a confused face.

"Unbelievable" I hear him say as I walk past him to go to the bathroom.

I enter the bathroom, do my business, shower, get dressed, brush my hair and do everything. I look in the mirror, I'm wearing black leggings that would show my curves if I wasn't wearing the black hoodie that I'm wearing, you can still see my face since I'm at home and I only put my hoodie up when I'm at school.

 As I stepped out of the bathroom I am engulfed in a hug and I see Eric's eyes looking at me with amusement.

" What do you want?" I question as I try to get free from his iron arms

"What, a big brother can't hug his little sister?" Eric asks

"Well, if I'm correct, you are the middle brother, not the big brother, Eddie is just away for college" I answer with sass

"I'm still older than you so I'm still the older brother, the middle child is the older and younger brother!" He answers me

"Ok, well, what do you want?" I question him again

"Well, you know... Elijah is throwing a birthday party and... iwanttoaskyouifyoucancomeandgetmeattheendoftheparty" He says the last part so quick that I can't understand

"What did you say?" I ask with a confused face

"I want to ask you if you can come and get me at the end of the party since you aren't going." He says

"How do you know I'm not going?" I challenge 

"Well, are you?" He asks with amusement in his eyes

"That doesn't matter! But okay, I'll come and get you, you just need to call me, if you think you are going to get too drunk call me so that we can establish a time ok?" I say

"Yess, my Lil sis, I love you, you know that?"

"You know that you don't need to continue being nice to me" I say

"Oh, yeah, I forgot." He says as he chuckles

We both head to the kitchen and have breakfast. Just as I'm about to get out Eric stands next to me and says

"You want a ride Em?" 

"Uhm... Sure" I answer

Eric usually gives me a ride every once a month but every girl still looks at me with envy. They are so jealous that they don't bother to ask who I am like, I would never date my brother! 

I get out of the car and I can hear the whispers. I head to my class, and everything was normal, but I can still notice the dirty looks that girls give me. Class ends, I head to the next and that was what

I head to the canteen, grab my lunch and head to my usual bench. I'm sitting there when my phone starts ringing, I see the caller ID and pick up

"Hello," I say

"Is that how you answer the call of your best friend in the whole world?" The other person says

"I'm sorry, how is my brother's best friend after leaving us to go to a fancy school that is in another state?" I spat

"Jeez, I wasn't expecting that..." He says, I sigh and say

"Well, I'm sorry Xavi but I'm not having a good day, are you ok?"

"Now that you apologized I'm much better!" He answers

"As much as I'm enjoying this conversation, why are you calling me? Do you want me to pass the phone to Er?" 

"Oh, I'm calling you cause you are the first person I saw" 

"What, are you on drugs?"

"No, turn around" He demands

"Ok..."

I turn around and see Xavier! His brown eyes, his brown hair and his tanned skin.

"You are here" I squeal as I run to hug him. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.

"I see you missed me munchkin!"

"Stop calling me that!" I say as I get off of him

"No can do." He says amused

"I'm going to show you where Er is so you can annoy him and leave me alone!" I say playfully

"Auch, you wound my ego, Miss Walters," He says as he puts his hand on top of his heart

"I'm sorry Mister Andrews. Now let's go" I say as I grab his hand

"I've been away for 4 years and everything is the same." He says as he looks around the hallway

"Xavi, you've never been in this high school, you left at the end of middle school. And you only visited on the holidays" I say giggling

"And, you jumped year when you were freshman so we were never in the same grade. But that's about to change now" He says with a goofy grin

"Are you saying what I think you are saying?" I ask hopeful

"Yep, my dad got a job here!" He says

"OMG!" I squeal as I wrap my arms around his waist. 

"Let's go, I need to see Er" He says as he motions for me to lead the way. I grab his hand and head to the canteen

We enter the canteen and everyone looks at us. We can hear everyone whispering, almost every girl is calling me a s**t or a w***e. I ignore them but Xavi shoots me a 'what are they talking about' look and I mutter 'I'll explain later'

"Oh Er, where is the worst host in the whole world?" Xavi shouts. If I thought we were the centre of attention before I know we are now.

"Xavier" We hear Er scream from the other side of the canteen. He runs towards us and hugs Xavi but since I'm between them I'm sandwiched in the hug.

"Can you believe Em was the host here! She is my future wife, not my best friend!" Xavi says to Er but he is so loud and the whole canteen is so quiet that everyone listens so we hear everyone gasp and start whispering again

"She is not your future wife, she is never going to marry you!" Er says annoyed, overprotective much? And then the three of us start laughing. When Xavi moved he would say that he had a girlfriend so that girls would stop trying to get with him. But after some months everyone started getting suspicious so he called me and asked me to help him out and I said yes as any good friend would. So he still calls me wifey and I call him babe and hubby every now and then cause we got used to it.

"We'll see! Now, I'm going to ask this question why is your hoodie up, like are you being bullied?" Xavi asks

"No, I just don't like being the centre of attention" I lie and shrug

"Oh, ok" He says, not convinced

"Now, why are you here?" Er asks

"If you must know, I moved here." Xavi says in an annoyed tone with a playful glare.

"No way!" Er says excitedly

"Yes way" Xavi answers

"Goodbye," I say as I walk towards my bench at the entrance

"I'm going with her" Xavi says as he runs towards me

"I'm going with you guys!" Eric says trying to catch up with us

After that school was normal, well, as normal as it can be when Xavier is always hot on your trail since 'Fate had the great idea to put him in all of my classes' which means 'I used my dad's money and I bribed them so that we could be on the same classes'. When school ended Xavi gave us a ride home and said that he comes back to get Er for Elijah's party. 

The doorbell rang and Er ran to open the door. There stood Xavi, I used this moment to check him out, his brown hair was gelled back and he wore a black t-shirt and jeans. Er also had his hair gelled back and he wore jeans but he wore a blue shirt that matched his eye colour.

"Okay, we want you to come and get us around 3 ok?" Er asks trying to confirm

"Yes, I will, have fun guys" I say as I push them out the door

"No boys here okay?" Er asks 

"Do you even see me tal-" I say but am cut off

"My baby wouldn't do that to me! Would you babe" Xavi says the last part with puppy dog eyes

"No, I would never cheat on you baby and I hope you don't cheat on me too!" I say playing along

"Now let's go!" Er says as he grabs Xavi's arm and heading out the door

"Bye Em!" I hear Er yell

"Bye baby!" Xavi says looking at me over his shoulder

"Bye Er, Bye my knight in shiny armour, come back to me in one piece!" I say as I send a kiss towards Xavi

"I will munchkin!" He says as he pretends to catch the kiss and put it in his pocket. And before I even argue they entered the car and got out of my sight.

As I wait for the clock to say 3 I start binge-watching Peaky Blinders. I don't know why I like this TV show so much, I can barely catch up to every single name and person who dies... As the episode comes to an end I look at my phone to see what time it is. I realize that I've been watching Peaky Blinders for 3 hours since the clock says it's 2:30 am, I've got half an hour.

"Take a little walk to the edge of town

And go across the tracks

Where the viaduct looms

Like a bird of doom

As it shifts and cracks

Where secrets lie in the border fires

In the humming wires

Hey man, you know

You're never coming back

Past the square, past the bridge

Past the mills, past the stacks

On a gathering storm

Comes a tall handsome man

In a dusty black coat with

A red right hand" 

I sing along as the episode starts. Just as I finish singing, my phone starts ringing, I pick up

"Hey Xavi, it's everything okay? You just interrupted my Peaky Blinders marathon!" I ask a little bit worried

"Hi baby..." He says when he says it I know right away that they did something

"What Xavi?" I ask annoyed and worried

"Yes, uhm- Er kind of got in a fight, I was wondering if you could come and pick us up..." He says quickly

"I'm on my way!" I say angry and end the call
