Chapter Twelve
Trevor
When I see Paige come through the back door I feel relief knowing that she is home safe, but that’s short lived when I see three guys come in behind her. Then she does an awkward wave thing that she does when she’s nervous. I get up and walk over to her. “Hey baby. Where have ‘ya been?”
She gives me a kiss, and then turns towards the men standing behind her. I notice them sizing each of us up. She takes a breath. “Well, this is Noah, Kyle, and Luke.” We all either nod or say ‘hi’ to them while still wondering who these men are.
“Well… uhh… you see, the thing is, they are my brothers.” We all stare at them stunned. They do have similar features to each other.
“I thought you were an only child,” I tell her.
“So did I, but this morning I took a paper out of a drawer to make a grocery list, and I found an envelope with pictures of them. There was an address on the back of them. I didn’t even think about anything, I just took off and went to check out who they were.”
“Holy shit. So, they are legit. You have brothers,” Cole says.
“No, they are fake. I had hired them to play a joke,” Paige says dryly.
There are some chuckles.
“So, I’m guessing since you kissed her, that would make you Trevor. I’m Noah.” He puts his hand out for me to shake. We both shake with the same firmness, and I can tell I impressed him just by that alone.
They tell us everything that they know. How they got Paige’s parents’ attention and love in addition to their own mom’s affection while all Paige got was money thrown at her. Paige’s parents hid her like a dirty little secret. I wish her parents were alive now so that I could deal with them. These brothers seem like pretty good guys, and I can tell that Paige is excited to get to know them. I know she always wanted a sibling, and now she has three. We start up the grill and get some burgers ready for lunch. The ladies go inside and start making salads and other sides leaving my brothers and I alone with Paige’s brothers.
“Just so you know, we think of Paige as a sister. She means a lot to us and, blood or not, you hurt her, and you will have us to deal with,” Liam says with his arms crossed.
“The same goes for you. We have always wanted a sister, and to hear how she was hidden away from us and never shown any love is devastating to us. We may have just found each other, but she’s family. If you guys hurt her, you have us to deal with.”
“Alright, it’s settled. If anyone hurts Paige, or one of the girls, we all get permission to kick that person’s ass,” Derek says.
After that, we all talk and get to know each other more. We tell them about the girls and the water balloon fight we had.
