seven souls seven sins - Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Leo's pov:
"Let's just get this over with." Flynn puffs out.
This man was surely brave. I could tell that he pushed some of Chase's buttons while he was at it.
"Let's get the base rules done and dusted with smartass, the door stays open, if you fucking break her heart I'll be the one with a knife down your neck and especially no funny business. Got it?" Chase demands.
"Pfttt I should be the ones telling you this, and for starters, she's not my girlfriend." Flynn remarks slyly.
Who did this boy think he was? He was cocky for sure.
"And why would that be? You're not even related dipshit." Xavier snarled back.
Xavier phrased my thoughts correctly. Family means everything here. Flynn wasn't and isn't family to Nat, we are.
Flynn then answers "First things first, I'm her fucking brother. I was there for her when you guys failed to do that. I was there when she needed someone, I was there when you all weren't. I didn't even see you lads trying to make contact with her. You guys left her all alone with a stupid cunt of a mother. Tash had to get a job to afford to live and take care of your mum. Tash did all of that by herself, none of you stupid, selfish assholes helped. I don't know how on earth you guys call yourself a family, because in Tash's and my eyes you all are pure strangers. Tash, Seb and I are a family, we look out for each other we care for each other and most importantly we NEVER leave each other. If Tash leaves and travels to another country, we go with her. Just because you dimwits share some DNA and blood doesn't make you a family."
After that tremendously long speech Chase, Xavier and I share yet again another look. But this time, the look we shared was of pure guilt. Each of us knew deep down that every ounce of Flynn's speech was correct. We knew it was true and we live to regret it every waking moment.
We knew that we would never get that time back and that we had to accept the fact that Nat has changed. But we so desperately wanted to make it back to her, we had the opportunity to be there for her now and we wanted to take it.
Flynn gives us a few minutes to process everything that he had said and begins again "She doesn't feel safe around you all, get over it."
More and more thoughts roamed around my mind. What does he mean she doesn't feel safe? I could get Chase to teach her more self defense? Does she feel uncomfortable? Out of the bloom a buzz comes from my back pocket, this stops my thought process. This was my personal phone. Who could it be? What did they want?
It was Nat.
I unlocked my phone to answer her message. I couldn't dare leave my little sister on delivered.
Nat: Leo
Nat: Leo!
Leo: Yes Tash?
Nat: Don't call me that. Bring Flynn upstairs now.
Leo: Will do princess.
Nat: Don't fucking call me that again.
Leo: If Flynn can, why can't I?
Nat: Flynn is my brother you aren't.
Leo: Whatever, I'll send him up with Xavier now.
Nat: Good.
When I look up from my phone, everyone's gazes were fixated on me. It was as if they knew it was from Nat.
I then say "Xavier, bring our guest to Nat's room."
Xavier lets out a groan in protest and he reluctantly gets up from his chair and steps towards Flynn.
"Follow me and watch your step." He orders Flynn.
I watch as Flynn follows Xavier eagerly to see Nat. When they leave the room I switch my attention to Chase who looks like he is still processing and digesting all of Flynn's speech. I can't lie, part of me wanted to not believe him but the other part knew that it was the truth. And that I couldn't escape it even If I wanted to.
"Chase." I ask to grab his attention.
"Hm?" He asks back a tad bit confused. He also seemed a bit dazed.
"What should we do about the whole Flynn situation?" I queried.
Chase paused for a minute before responding "Let's go inform Vincent and Adrien before we make any dumb decisions." Chase reasoned.
I nodded my head to symbol my agreement with his choice and we make our way up to the garage. Once we got there, I took out my blue BMW car keys and clicked the unlock button. I get in the drivers side while Chase hops in the passenger seat. I turn on the engine and I could hear it roar to life.
By the time I knew it, we were already off to the headquarters.
Xavier's pov:
I was thinking about how I was going to torture this imbecile standing in front of me when all of a sudden..
Leo says "Xavier, bring our guest to Nat's room.
Fuck this.
WHY MEEE. I already hated the guy and now I had to bring him to the one place I didn't want him to be. And for him to see the one person I didn't want him to see, my life was just great.
I let out a groan to symbolise the amount of disgust that the task I had to do was. I didn't want that craic head to step five metres in the presence of my Tash. I was the only person who called her Tash, I still should be. Who did this cunt think he was?
She was mine.
My Tash.
I push my thoughts to the side and say "Follow me and watch your step." I say the last part in a sarcastic tone.
The asswipe follows me up the stairs and towards Tash's room. Before I knock on her door, I pull him by the collar and pin him against the wall. He doesn't put off his poker face, this hasn't happened before, Was he not scared of me?
I whisper into his ear "If you so dare even think about laying a finger on her, you'll be five feet under."
The wanna-be then bites back and says "I think she will be more than capable to sort me out, which won't happen anyways because I'm her real brother."
He even had the audacity to let out a smirk at the end.
What a jerk.
I let him go out of frustration and I angrily knock on Tash's door. After a few seconds, she opens the door with a blank face but when her eyes laid upon Flynn she let out the biggest smile I had seen on her face since she was 5. She quickly hurries him into her room and slams the door in my face.
She didn't even make eye contact with me. She treated me as if I was invisible.
I hated every moment of it.
I should be the one in Flynn's position. She should be smiling whenever she sees my face. She should be happy when she's with me. I wanted her to be happy when she was with me. Not anyone else, just me. She used to be my Tash, I want her back.
I wanted her so badly, I was desperate.
I was just about to leave when I hear a massive giggle come from her room. It was her voice. I know I shouldn't invade her privacy but I really wanted to know what they were doing in there. I gently place my ear up to the wood of her door and listen in.
She was saying something along the lines of "Flynn HAHAHA yo-your tickling me! HAHAHAH!"
I was beyond jealous at that point. I was ready to kick down her door and throw Flynn out the window. I just wanted to pick her up and give her the biggest hug every and apologise for everything that I have ever done to hurt her. Soon after, I realised that I was intruding in her personal privacy for way too long already, so I leave and head to my room. I needed a distraction from all of this.
I started to finish my homework until it was dinner time.
Natasha's pov:
After Flynn comes in I shut the door quickly. He immediately carries me to my bed and jumps on it with me. He begins tickling me. I couldn't stop giggling for the whole time. My laughter consumed the room.
Oh how badly I missed this.
I missed everything about him. His eyes to his hair to his funny personality. I missed all of him. I knew that I could never share this kind of bond with my biological brothers. I knew that what Flynn, Seb and I had was irreplaceable. It was us three together forever.
We were inseparable.
Time Passes:
Over the course of the past few hours me and Flynn mainly discussed work.
I had him help me to sign off our next couple shipments for February. We had already discussed plans on infiltrating one of the Brazilian's warehouses that my spy Antonio had found. We were going in next Saturday. We forwarded all the plans to Seb and the rest of my crew. During our work, Flynn tried to ask about my personal feelings and my emotions but I cut him off.
I didn't want to talk about that. I knew I would start bawling my eyes out if I did.
Flynn had his back resting on my bed's headboard while my back was on his hard chest. I snuggled in at him when I had random shivers. He was so warm and cosy. I typed up some important documents on my laptop while Flynn proofread them.
He was like my little assistant.
We had been nonstop working since he had come into the house. We knew that it was better to get all the work done now rather than later. After almost four hours of him staying here, the door burst open. Rude much learn to have some manners? Knocking isn't so hard?
It was Chase.
He looks at us up and down and his eyebrows furrow further than before. He then said "Get downstairs now, dinner is ready."
He was about to leave when I spoke up and declared "I'm not hungry, I'll just skip."
This decision makes Chase halt in his place and he turns back to face me. He had fury laced in his eyes.
"It wasn't an option." He demands. When did he get so annoying?
I let out a small groan in protest and Flynn and I follow Chase downstairs. While we walk up to the dining room, Flynn places his soft hands on my waist and pull me closer to him. His hands were on my bare skin. I smirk at his actions and he lets out a smile back. He was so sneaky. He also knew that this would piss off my biological brothers, even better.
Not long after, we arrive at the dining room. All eyes were on us, again.
But this time Vincent and Adrien were there. I ignore their demeaning stares and I drag Flynn to sit beside me. He sits to my left and I'm on his right. Leo is on Flynn's left while Chase is on my right.
How fun.
Shortly after the intense silence, the maids come in with plates full of spaghetti bolognaise. The plates were massive and had huge serving portions on top. Oh boy, I don't think I could finish all of that. I could feel that Flynn sensed my discomfort. We just made eye contact while everyone started eating and making conversation. Flynn took a bite, then paused and took another bite, and another until half of his food was gone. His gaze then shifts to my full plate and then to my face.
"Aren't you hungry Tash?" Flynn asks me.
This also causes Xavier to listen in to our conversation. What a creep. Why does he have to be so nosy?
"No, not really. I already ate lunch." I reply back.
Now this catches the attention of Adrien, Chase and Leo. Darn it, I hate it when all their attention are fixated on me. It gives me the heebie-jeebies. Thank god Vincent and Xander were still chatting, it looked like chatting from far away but up close it looked like Xander was getting scolded. He deserved whatever he was getting yelled at for. I turn my thoughts back to the four brothers that were staring daggers at me. Their sky blue coloured eyes are low-key scary when there's eight pairs of them staring directly at you.
Not my ideal cup of tea.
"If you eat some, then I will call Ms.Carol for you." Flynn reasoned with me.
If it meant that I had to fill myself up to speak with Ms.Carol then I would do it. She was the best history teacher anyone could ever ask for. She was always the highlight of my day. I missed her terribly since I left the UK and couldn't wait to speak with her again.
"Fine, but only some." I reasoned back with him. Flynn let out a small smile and a nod to symbolise his agreement.
I pick up my clean fork and scoop up a bit of spaghetti and place it in my mouth. It was very tasty. The different spices and flavouring all worked perfectly together in harmony. Shortly after, I felt really full but I wanted to talk to Ms.Carol so badly so I took more mouthfuls for her. I took a total of seven mouthfuls, more than my usual.
Flynn then assured me by saying "I'll give her a ring tomorrow when she's awake."
I give him a thankful smile. I knew that all he wanted was for me to eat and he got his wish. After that little scenario, Vincent began to clear his throat, this gathered all of our attention.
"I believe we haven't been fully introduced yet." Vincent spoke with his eyes directly at Flynn. What was his deal?
"Oh yeah, I believe we haven't." Flynn responded back casually.
I knew deep down that Flynn didn't give two shits about the people at this table apart from me. I also knew that he wasn't afraid of them. He was in for a treat..
