I woke up at 9:00 a.m. I rubbed my eyes and got out of the bed lazily. I knocked the bathroom'sdoor no one answered so opened the door and got in. Then I locked the door that opened to Joseph's room so he wouldn't open the door accidentally or on purpose to see me naked showering!
I used toilet and then took off my clothes and got under the shower. Alexander, Ricardo and Victoria stayed here last night so I was going to see them as soon as I got out of my room. Actually I wasn't sure how should I behave while I'm with Alexander. He was a really cool, fun and of course handsome guy and I trusted him and liked him not in that way of course but as a friend. I wanted to spend most of my time with him while he is here but I didn't want Joseph to show his other side to us. I didn't want him feel threatened by him or get jealous. Also I didn't know how to look in Joseph's face after the stupid hug of last night and saying all those crazy stuff. I couldn't suddenly back off and pretend like nothing happened but in the other hand I didn't want him to feel like there is hope for us getting in to a relationship. It's not like he is a bad guy or something maybe there would be a hope if I knew him from somewhere else like seeing him in college or something but now... which wise person would date her kidnapper? In the other hand there was Victoria so kind and gentle she reminded me of my grandma somehow the problem that I had with her was that she saw me as his grandson's saver while I had no idea what I was saving him from. The only person I was not nervous to see today was Ricardo, the last child of the family. Actually I hadn't talked with him more than maybe ten sentences so I didn't know him but he seemed nice and sweet.
After 15 minutes I got out of the bathroom and got in my dressing room. I picked a white floral top and a pair of light jean shorts and white flats. Then I wore a light pink make up and got out of my room. I heard Ricardo and Joseph in the kitchen talking joking and laughing. I got in the kitchen.

"Good morning guys." I said with an smile on my face.

"morning ..." they both said at the same time.

"Did you sleep well sweetheart ?" Joseph asked.

I nodded."Yeah. Thanks. Why?"I asked while I was leaning on the wall.

"Because of the last night thing. I'm really sorry."He said while he was heading to refrigerator.

Ricardo's eyes shined."Omg. What had happened last night? What you had done bro? When we were all asleep. Huh?" He said mischievously while his eyes were wide open.

Joseph laughed then shook his head. "Oh God. Nothing. I meant after all the fighting thing. Kate was upset about it so..."

"So..." Ricardo said still in a hopeful tone.
I rolled my eyes.

The thing that was making me pissed was that Joseph liked the thought of the thing that Ricardo was referring to. You know what? Why he shouldn't be? Ricardo was just asking if we had made out or did more. Why he shouldn't enjoy? Wasn't the whole reason of me being here was that?

"Okay. You see Kate is getting mad. Why you say crazy stuff?" Joseph said while he was pouring some orange juice for himself and giving him an angry look.

"What? It's going to happen someday." Ricardo said with an smirk on his face.

"Can't we just pass this subject?"I said angrily. I didn't like him refer to this kind of things. It could make Joseph think one more time about his promise to me and decide that it was a bad idea and he should break it.

"Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Ummm... would you like to drink some juice or you prefer coffee?" Joseph asked changing the subject.

"Juice is fine." I said.

"Ok." He nodded. Then took another glass and poured some juice for me. Then handed me the glass. I thanked and drank it.

Then Ricardo took the toasts from the toaster and put them in a bread basket.

"Ok. Finally the breakfast is ready. Kate would you please go call grand ma and Alexander ?"Joseph said.

I nodded then ran upstairs to call them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who wants to go camping today?" Victoria asked while her eyes were shining from excitement.

"Camping?" Joseph asked confused then took another sip of his coffee.

"Yeah. Why not? It's been a while that Kate is here and as much as I know she hadn't put her feet out of the house even once. Also how often can we gather like this as a family?"Victoria said.

Joseph looked at me. "Kate what's your idea?"

"ummm... it sounds great I think. I would love to have some adventure."I said with a big smile on my face then continued. " Can we go Joseph? Please."

He nodded." Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Why not."

"so You like adventure?" Ricardo asked.

"Yeah. Of course. Who doesn't?" I answered with an smirk on my face.

"Great." Ricardo said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" I think here is great for sitting." I said looking around.

We were in a park. Around us was a lot of trees so we could seat under the shade of them. The weather was perfect; not too hot or humid. Also that day the park was not crowded so we could enjoy the silence. I was wearing a black top with jean shorts. Guys had worn t-shirt and shorts and Victoria had worn jean skirt with white top.

" Yeah. Here is great."Joseph said while putting the basket full of yummy stuff on the camping table there.

All of us sat around the table. Joseph and I sat on one side of table and Alexander, Ricardo and Victoria sat on the other side.
We had made sandwiches for our lunch and also brought some cola to drink.

Victoria and I put everyone's food on their plates and gave it to them. Then all of us started eating.

After four minute of eating in silence Alexander started talking." How is it? Do you like here?" He asked looking at me taking another bite of his sandwich.

I nodded then tried to swallow the food in my mouth to respond." Ye... yeah. Here is fantastic."

" So if you like going out or camping we can do it more often." Joseph said looking at me with shiny eyes.

" Yeah. It's a pretty good idea." I said smiling.

After a minute of silence Victoria clapped. "Ok. That's enough. None of us wants to get fat. Who wants to come walk with me?"

Actually she was in a good shape completely fit and so sexy for a woman in her age. I even think she had a better body than me. It seemed she was a kind of person who burned the fat she got immediately.

I raised my hand. " I love walking."

" I'm in too." Joseph said raising his hand.

Alexander looked at Ricardo then Victoria. "We are in too mom."

" So then let's collect everything and put them in the car." Victoria said.

" We can do it mom. You and Kate go for the walk we can collect everything then we'll come find you." Joseph said.

Why they kept calling her mom she was their grandma. I know they had been raised by her when they were little but does it mean they should call her mom?

Victoria nodded then got up and looked at me. I got up too and then we started walking away.

" So do they always call you mom?" I asked while we were going deeper in the trees looking at her.

She looked down. " Yes. I don't know Joseph had told you or not but their mother left them when they were little. So I raised them and they call me mom since."

" I know. Actually, Alexander had told me." I said nodding.

" Can I ask you a privet question? I promise I won't say anything to Joseph."

I looked at her curiously. "Of course. Ask whatever you want."

" Is there something between you and Alexander?"

I shook my head along with my hands. "No. Of course not. We're just friends. I don't know what I had done to make you feel this way."

She shook her head. " I'm sorry. You know, Joseph's conditions is a little bit hard to explain. Let me make it simple for you the only thing that keeps him to stay human right now is you and your love in his heart and the last thing me and his brothers want is that he losses you..." she was going to continue but suddenly someone pushed both of us and we both fall in the huge but not deep hole full of mud. When I could clean my eyes I could see guys watching us and laughing at us. So I did the first thing that got in to my mind. I got up and pushed them hardly one by one to fall in to the hole . First Alexander and Ricardo then Joseph. But Joseph didn't fall alone he took my arm hardly so I fall on him. Our faces were really close and his eyes were locked on mine. He was looking deeply in my eyes like he was looking for something inside me. Suddenly Alexander coughed and brought us back to reality. I got up immediately and looked away from embarrassment.

Ricardo started laughing.

I looked at him angrily. " What?"

" Just imagine what would happen if we were not here."

I shook my head. " Shut up!"

Joseph rolled his eyes to Ricardo and then shook his head.

"Great. Now how we are going to get to home? Let me clear one thing for all of you. None of you can sit in my car like this." Joseph said.

" First of all you first pushed us in the hole." I said.

Joseph shrugged but didn't gave me an answer.

" So what should we do now?" Alexander asked.

"I think we should find some water then take off our clothes and wash ourselves then sit in the car like that." Ricardo suggested.

Take off our clothes and sit naked in car till we get home; seriously?

" It's not going to work. Police can arrest us." I said.

They all started laughing.

" Police can't do anything to us don't worry." Joseph said.

" So you think we should do what Ricardo said?"

"yeah why not?" Joseph said then winked to me.

I looked away pissed.

Finally we could find some water and took off our clothes except our underwear and washed ourselves. It was pretty uncomfortable for me as Joseph's gaze was on me but I had no other choice. Finally we sat in the car and Joseph drove us home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You take shower first I can stay like this for a little bit longer."

Joseph said while heading up stairs.

He couldn't use other bathrooms as Alexander,Ricardo and Victoria were going to take a shower there.

"OK. Thanks." I said thankfully. I was 100% sure I couldn't stay more than a second like this. I felt microbes are all over my body eating my skin instead of cake dancing on it and partying. So I headed to bathroom and opened the tape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opened the door and got inside my room with a white towel around me. I was trying to dry my hair with a towel that I remembered my bra that I just had washed under the shower is in bathroom yet. I ran over the door that opened to bathroom and opened it hurriedly but I couldn't move anymore as the view in front of me was so much far away from what I expected. Joseph was standing there with his really nice built body completely naked with his back on me analyzing my bra and cupping it from outside with his hand.
