“HELLOOOOOOOOOO”
I jump up off of Branson, losing my footing and falling off the bed onto my back
“Awchhh”
Branson howls in laughter leaning over the edge and snorting as he takes the sight before him in. On my back with my feet in the air
“How was your trip?”
I flip him the bird as karma laughs hysterically in our head
“Ha ha very funny”
I pout getting off my arse and going to the closest, I freeze on the spot looking around
“What the f**k is this?”
I snap rushing in to find clothes that were not mine.
“What’s wrong?”
Branson asks pausing at the door, his eyes widening
“Wow that’s a lot of clothes”
I groaned trying to find my stuff but it was nowhere to be seen so I grab a pair of sweats and I grab a random T-shirt.
“This is like the most boring shirt I've ever worn!”
I snap as I try to find my clothes
“What’s with all the dresses?”
He asks me, I whimper pouting as he comes to my side and he kisses my head
“They always want to change me, what’s wrong with me that they want to change me”
He frowns growling
“Your perfect and I won’t have them saying any different”
He kisses my head then he quickly pulls on shorts and a shirt, taking my hand and he marches us out of our room and down the stairs
“What are you going to do?”
I ask alarmed
“Damn I hope he doesn’t kill grandad”
Karma muses as she peers out of our eyes as he pulls me to his side.
“Ask for your clothes”
“Ok, but why are you doing that thing?”
“What thing?”
He asks looking back at me
“That thing where you look like you're going to kill someone”
“Depends on his answer”
He snaps back
“Ugh ohh, if he kills him it’s on you. I’m free from the guilt I didn’t even make a smart comment”
Karma says, clicking her tongue at me as we reach the bottom floor where my grandparents, brother and sister, parents and Branson’s parents were pulling food from bags.
“Where are Katy’s clothes?”
Pops looks up frowning
“Hello to you too, they are in the closet, why what’s wrong with them?”
He shakes his head
“But where are her clothes from her parent's house?”
Pops relaxes slightly
“Not all of them are here yet, some of the boys were driving here with a few boxes but I made sure to put away the stuff Scott got her”
I blow out a breath in relief
“Ok but for future reference, I like how she dresses, she looks good in everything so don’t try and change her”
He turns lifting my chin and he pecks my lips
“Your perfect katiana and don’t ever forget it”
I blush at the attention as our family watches on. Arms are suddenly thrown over my shoulders as fay pulls me in for a hug, Aaron wraps his arms around us both
“Welcome to the family cupcake”
I grin at them, hugging them back
“Really? We are still doing the nickname?”
I ask Aaron
“You will always be our cupcake”
He snaps offended, I used to steal cupcakes and lie about it when I was a tiny kid, hence the nickname that he never forgot.
“He’s right, we love you and we are so happy our son stopped being a dirtbag and finally pushed his tail between his legs to track you down and bring you home”
I smile at fay as she kisses my cheek, Branson huffs yanking me away from them
“Get your cooties of my mate”
He snaps wrapping his arms around me securely. I grin at him, loving this side of him as mum steps forward
“Now that we have that out of the way what in the hell did you do to my table”
“Told you so”
Karma says clicking her tongue and shaking her head as I groan
“It was an accident and I buffed it out, I wasn’t even wearing shoes and I had socks on, I don’t even know how you know”
She rolls her eyes tapping her toe on the floor
“Mmmhmmmm.. well you didn’t clean it very well, and buffed it out? It looked like s**t”
“Mum seriously it was a foot on the table it’s not the end of the world”
She sighs turning around
“Fine fine fine”
I smirk having an idea, I see the corners of dads lip twitch up as he looks at me from across the room
“What day is it again?”
“Tuesday why?”
Mum says, I look up at Branson widening my eyes and rolling my finger by my temple. His face falls as he looks back at mum who had her back to him
“Nothing, just wondering”
I answer, he leans down
“Holy crap I’m nearly sure it was a Tuesday that we had that meeting”
He whispers into my ear, karma laughs hysterically in my head as I look up at him with wide eyes, trying my very best not to laugh in the poor gullible boy's face.
“See I told you”
I say barely before I have to turn my face away to stop myself from laughing as dad snorts looking at me with a grin on his face
“So let’s eat I’m starving”
I say going to the food and filing a plate as everyone else takes a seat at the table, I take my seat beside Branson digging in and moaning
“Hungry? You must have worked up quite the appetite from all that hard work you have been doing All day long”
Adlai says smirking at me, I choke on my chicken as Gerald snorts looking between us
“Yeah, you guys must have been busy, your hair doesn’t normally get like that unless you are doing hard labour”
“Like the hard labour, you guys were doing on nanas birthday when you were late last week”
Granddad gasped looking at Adlai and Gerald, adlais eyes widen as she glares at me!
“You dirty little bastards you said your car broke down”
“Well technically it did, well kind of if you class break down as pulling into the side of the road to pee and getting distracted in the forest”
“Yeah Adlai was busy looking at the sky”
I snort elbowing Branson who screws his nose up trying to figure out what I meant
“Oh come on! Damn, luckily, he is good-looking because other than a wolf and some serious anger issues that boy has very little in his noggin”
Karma tells me, I growl at her in warning, and she rolls her eyes as mum coughs laughing at my joke then Branson obviously gets it and he cracks up as well.
“What? I don’t get it. You were looking at the sky so what?”
Scott asks
“Because she was on her back?”
I deadpan, he looks at me like I’m a lunatic and this time Branson shakes his head looking at me
“It’s a good job he’s good looking”
He whispers making me laugh, karma huffs at me
“Yeah when he says it it’s funny”
She says in a mocking tone
“Yeah because he's not saying it about his mate”
I snap back
“I didn’t know you swung both ways”
Dad says to Branson, he frowns shaking his head
