I wake up to an arm around me.

"Dimitri move" I push his arm.

Yesterday Dimitri called Dennis, and he sent dad a file. Dad read it, and told Dimitri that he trusts him.

Noah is still suspicious of Dimitri. He asked why Dimitri is doing this?

He just replied saying that he has manners, and that's what his mother taught him.

Noah still doesn't believe him.

And mom loves playing cupid. She got my uncle Austin and auntie Kristen together as well. They have 3 kids, but they live in England.

And she kept dad quiet, and put Dimitri in my room. Dimitri was meant to sleep on the sofa, but how he got in my bed? I have no idea.

"Morning" he whispers, in a deep husky voice.

How do boys do that?

"Morning." I reply back, sitting up slowly,and pushing my hair out of my face. His arm's still wrapped around my waist.

"What are you doing in my bed?" I ask looking at him

"I like to cuddle" he smirks and I nod slowly.

"And who do cuddle with normally? Dennis?" He sticks his tongue out at me.

"With my pillow." He mumbles, his cheeks turning slightly pink, as he sits up.

"We better go ho-" I hear a gun shot from downstairs. I freeze,hearing shouting.

"Kare-bear get under the bed" he climbs out of bed quickly.I notice his 8 pack. Woah. Now those are something. I could trail my fingers ov- stop!

He walks to the sofa, and picks up his jeans.

"Here take this" he hands me a small gun, and holds his,in his hand.

"Get under the bed kare-bear" he stares at me.

"I can-" he shake shis head

"You can't. You haven't been taught how to defend yourself properly. Just do as I say. Please" he whispers and I nod, climbing off the bed.

I get under the bed as he walks out of the room.

Where the hell are the bodyguards? They should be here always.

"Noah!" Mom screams and I hear a gun shot.

I crawl out from under the bed, and run out of the room. Noah is on the floor, with a guy next to him.

I pull my gun up and close my eyes, shooting him.

"Kare-bear!" Dimitri exclaims.

I open my eyes to see I've shot Dimitri in the arm. He shoots the other guy and sighs,helping Noah up.

"You need a fucking stronger security." I run down the steps.

"Thank you so much for saving Noah" I wrap my arms around Dimitri's neck

He freezes.

"It's nice to hug people back" mom whispers slightly.

"Ella!" Dad pulls her away from us.

"You're welcome kare-bear" he wraps one arm, around my waist tightly.

His hugs feel like...home.

I quickly let him go and turn to Noah

"Are you okay?" I ask and he nods looking at Dimitri.

"Thanks. I'll call the doctor" Dimitri shakes his head

"Karen is going to play doctor. Come on" he holds one hand,and we walk back upstairs.

"I don't know how to take a bullet out" he nods, as I walk into the bathroom and pick up the first aid kit. I walk towards him, as he sits on the bed, closing his eyes, tightly,and pulls the bullet out with his fingers.

"Oh my god" I gasp  as he winces

"You're so stupid" I get down on my knees, and opening the first aid kit. I pick up the wipes,and clean his arm gently.

"Who was it?" I ask

"The bodyguards. They were bribed, to kill you" I nod slowly.

"We're going home today" he whispers and I nod.

"Noah is going out of town for a couple of weeks, and you'll be staying with us from now on." I nod as I wrap the bandage around his arm.

"Why are you agreeing to everything without fighting back?" He smirks, as I tie the bandage.

I pack the first aid kit, and stand up.

"Because it's going to be serious now. But do I live with all those 20 people?" I ask and he nods

"At least 12 of the guys stay there. Seth and Dennis and a few others do live there always. It's a big house compared to what it seems like from outside. " I nod again

"Well we better be going. But if I get fed up, can I live in my own house?" He nods

"Yeah sure" he stands up.

"I'm going to go and talk to your parents, you should go and get ready, and then we'll leave" I nod as he walks out of the room.

Why me though? He could have just made me move into his house, without getting married. Right?

"I have to go to Crestwood, because of some work with Dimitri Cooper. He's apparently left some clue there for the first time" Noah stares at Dimitri.

"Maybe he got distracted" Dimitri smirks.

"I hope he gets distracted a lot then" Noah smiles at me.

"Any emergency, call me." I nod as he hugs me tightly.

"Try to keep him distracted. I'll get a promotion" he whispers into my ear. I nod confused.

He walks into the living to see our parents.

"I think he knows you're Cooper" I look at Dimitri, who's leaning against the wall.

"He's your brother. He's smart" I nod slowly as mom and dad walk out of the living room.

"Keep this with you Kara." Dad hands me a gun and mom sighs.

She hates it when we handle guns.

"Thank you" I hug dad tightly, and then I hug mom.

"If you hurt her I swe-" mom covers dad's mouth.

"Ignore him Dimitri. You guys should get going. " dad removes her hand.

"Call us if anything goes wrong." Dad says and I nod.

I push the gun in my pocket, but Dimitri pulls it back out.

"Bye" Dimitri says to my parents and holds my hand, and pulls me out of the house. He stands behind me, and closes the door.

I feel his hand on my waist.

"Dimitri.." I warn, trying to turn around.

"Don't. I'm just placing your gun in your jeans, because you don't put it in your pocket" I nod as I feel the cold gun on my skin.

He pulls my blue shirt over my gun, and walks in front of me.

"Let's go" he holds my hand and walks towards his car.

"Can we go to my house first to get my things?" He nods.

"Yeah. I'll tell the guys to come there and help you" I nod.

He parks outside my house and I see all the boys standing outside.

"Dimitri..." I shake my head.

"What? We'll take everything in one go" he gets out of the car. He walks around and opens my door for me.

"Woah! We have a gentleman!" The guys exclaim.

I blush slightly, getting out of the car. They make way for me, as I walk towards the door. I open it with my key and they all follow me inside.

I feel like the queen.

"What do we have to take?" One of them asks as Dimitri makes his way inside.

"I'll get my things from my room. Its only those things" they nod

"Seth and Dennis, you guys stay. The rest of you go back home" they walk out of the house leaving Seth and Dennis.

I walk upstairs and towards my closet.

I pull my suitcases out of the corner, and place it on the table. I place all of my clothes inside as Dimitri walks inside.

"You'll be sleeping with me" I roll my eyes.

"You mean, you'll be sleeping on the couch and I'll be sleeping on the bed" I zip up my suitcases

"No. We'll both be sleeping on the bed. It's big enough. I would have gave you a different room, but they're all taken" I nod as he take my two suitcases.

"You're house looks bigger than ours. How do you make the money?" I ask as I pick up my other suitcase and walk out of the closet.

"I have money" he says as I remove my pillow, and pick up my gun.

"Safety" I say as he raises his eyebrow at me

"You'll be safe" he says and I nod following him downstairs.

Dennis walks towards me and takes the suitcase off me.

We walk out of the house, and I close the door.

"I told the guys to clean the house up a little" Seth mumbles to Dimitri. I smile as I follow behind them.

Their house is bigger than anyone's on this street I guess. I follow Dimitri towards the door, as I look around the outside of the house.

I wonder who looks after the grass and the bushes?

"Kare-bear come on" Dimitri calls. The first thing I see is a shirt on the floor.

"Carter! Come and get your shirt!" Dimitri calls.

A guy around the age of 19 runs downstairs, and picks his shirt up and then runs back upstairs.

I like that everything is open space, and french doors are my favourite.

"Dennis, take theses to my room" Dimitri hands him my suitcases.

"This is the dining room but no one uses it." Dimitri points to a room. I walk forward and look through the door.

"Wow. That's big" Seth chokes behind me.

"Shut up Seth" Dimitri mumbles

"Why does nobody use it though? Don't you guys cook or eat together?" Dimitri shakes his head as we walk towards the kitchen.

"This is our kitchen, but we normally get takeaway" I frown

"This is like heaven" I walk inside into the room.

"Can I cook?" I turn to him.

"Yeah sure." He shrugs and I smile looking through the cupboards to see they are empty.

"I'm going to cook for all of you from now on. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner." Dimitri chuckles

"Let me tell you kare-bear, they eat like pigs. I stopped cooking for them years ago." Seth grumbles something under his breath.

"Let her cook Dimitri. I want normal food now. I'm fed up of microwaving everything" Seth sighs

"I'll cook for all of you, but first I need groceries. What do you guys normally buy?" I ask

"Milk and beers" Seth says and I sigh

"Can we go shopping to get some food. Let's all of us go,and for the first time in years, you're going to get a proper meal. Seth can you call everyone here please?" Seth whistles.

"Sweet!" He exclaims walking out.

"I'm telling you kare-bear, you'll cook one meal, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life" he walks closer to me.

"I like cooking." I say as he stands in front of me

"And you'll regret it" I smirk.

"What if I don't?" I whisper

He smirks

"If you don't, then I'll give you whatever you want" he places his hands on either side of me, trapping me against the counter

"Anything?" He nods

"Anything" he whispers as the doors open. I push him away from me as the kitchen fills up with boys.

"Are we really going to get home food?" Carter asks

I nod.

"Yep. But! I want all of you to come shopping with me" they all nod

"Put your shoes on, and wait- how many of you go to school?" I ask

Half of them put their hands up, confused.

"Schools are starting soon, you guys will be staying at home, finishing your work" they all smile.

"Dimitri made us do it all on the first day of holidays." One of them says and I smile.

"Let's go then" I pat my pocket to see if I have my phone. My phone case has my credit card inside.

"Seth, get the cars out" Dimitri says all they all leave one by one.

"And you're all going to eat as a family around the table. Oh, and we go to church every Sunday" Dimitri frowns at me.

"Do you go to church every Sunday?" He asks and I shrug

"Whenever I can go, I go. I'm not going to force anyone to go,if they don't want to, but it would be nice if someone went. Do they believe in God?" I ask and he nods

"They all do. Let's go" he holds my hand and walks out of the house.

I stop noticing 9 Ferrari's 5 Bentley's waiting outside.

"Are you serious? We're going shopping not to a wedding!" I exclaim.

"It's this or either walking" I shake my head following him to his black Ferrari.

I sit inside as all the cars pull out of the driveway.

"I'm already regretting this" I lean down, covering my face, from the outside world, as Dimitri laughs.

"Dennis and Seth, I want you guys to go and get the dairy stuff. He's the list I made in the car. Carter I want you and 5 others to pick the sweet stuff. I know that's a really hard job, especially choosing from all those chocolates. And the rest, just split this list between yourrself" I hand the papers out.

They all split inside the supermarket.

All the employees stare at Dimitri and I.

"Well what are you making?" He asks as I pick up a basket.

"I was thinking steak and chips. My dad and Noah love it a lot. I don't know but maybe these guys will love it too?" He nods

"They'll like everything you give them" I nod as we go into the frozen section.

I see Carter pushing someone out of the way, and picking up a tub of ice cream.

"Carter stop fighting with Ryan. Seth will kill you" Dimitri sighs and they nod.

"Are you like they father? What about their parents? Family?" I ask as I pick up 5 packets of frozen chips. 5 packets will be okay right?

Well not according to Dimitri. He picks up 5 more packets and places them in the basket after taking it off me.

"Most of these guys parents died, or either they disowned them." I nod as I pick up vegetables.

"Nope. No one its going to eat that" I smirk

"I'll make them eat it" I put two packets in the basket.

"What about your parents?" He shrugs

"They died" Oh.

I nod staying quiet.

"Do you like ice cream?" He nods

"Which flavour?" I ask as I stop next to the ice cream section.

"Vanilla" I gasp.

"Me too!" I pick up a tub of vanilla ice cream. I pick up another tub of vanilla with raspberry swirl. I love this as well.

"Can we just get the steak?" He asks and I nod as I place it in the basket.

"How much exactly do you guys eat? I was thinking- depending on the size of the steak- two?" He nods

"Yeah. I'll buy 10 packets, which has 4 inside. 40 is enough" I choke

"In one meal?" He frowns

"Actually I'll take 3 extra packets just incase" he picks them up and places them in the basket.

Wow. These guys do actually eat. Oh well. I'll make them help me.

"Let's go" he holds my hand and we walk towards the till section, where everyone is waiting. With 3 carts full of food.

"You were right Kara. It's hard picking which chocolate to buy" one of them gasps.

I look at the people around us staring.

"Dimitri-" I pull out my phone and take my credit card out.

"Pay with this, I'm going to sit in the car" he chuckles

"Go sit in the kare-bear, I'll handle it" he pushes my hand down with the credit card.

I nod as he hands me the car keys. I walk out of the shop, and sit inside the car quickly.

My phone rings. Rosie. I deleted her number, but I know it by heart.

I fake a smile and answer it.

"You got married?" She gasps

"Why hello there snake. How are you doing?" I reply back leaning on the seat.

"Kara what the hell. It was a one time mistake. We were both sad because you left, and I was comforting him, when it happened"

"Yeah sure whatever. Bye. Don't call me again" I hang up

The door opens and Dennis sits inside.

"Hey stalker" I smile at him.

"Hi Kara" he chuckles

We stay quiet as he taps the steering wheel.

"Are you going to leave Dimitri when all this is over?" I frown

"I guess" he nods

"At least give him something chance. He hasn't had a female- actually none of us had actually female cook for us or care about us. You're the first that's why everyone is listening to you. Just don't mess it up for him." My eyes widen slightly

"Okay wow. No pressure there" I mumble as he chuckles

"No pressure I promise. It's just that if we get used to you, it'll be hard to let go of you" he says as his door opens.

"Get out" Dimitri smirks at him.

"Chill dude. I was just talking to my sister in law" Dennis smirks back.

They look really a like. They both have the blue-grey eyes,and the the brown- black hair.

"Okay Dennis. Now get out" Dennis gets out of the car.

"Are we ready to go?" I ask and he nods as he sits inside.

"Yeah. What did Dennis tell you?" I shrug

"Just that you're scared of spiders" he frowns

"No I'm not" I smirk

"Then don't be nosy. Now lets go home so I can cook" he smirks shaking his head slightly.

"Home?" I blush slightly, looking out of the window.

"Let's go." He chuckles driving.

After a few minutes, he parks the car outside.

"We'll bring everything inside for you." He says and I nod getting out of the car.

"Give me a couple of bags, and I'll take those inside" I say following him to a van. I have no idea when this came. But it's full of bags of groceries.

I take 4 bags out and walk towards the door.

"I don't have a key guys!" I shout turning to look at them. One guy runs over and opens the door for me.

"Thank you" he nods and runs back towards the others.

Everyone living in this house seems like they're still in their teens. Seth and Dimitri look the oldest from all of them.

"Kare-bear don't just stand there" Dimitri appears behind me.

"Sorry" I shake my head slightly, and walk towards the kitchen, placing the bags on the floor.

"Where do all these go?" I ask him and he shrugs rubbing the back if his neck.

"We never bought important groceries. So I guess they go anywhere" he says and I nod, as boys being in the bags.

"Can I please know the chores list? Like who cleans up?" He looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Kare-bear, you're going to be living with guys. They don't chores unless you hold them at gun point." I frown

"So who cleans up around here?" He thinks about it.

"Sometimes Dennis or Chris and Ryan. They take the garbage out, or vacuum. The laundry everyone does for their self. If they run out of clothes, they'll walk in boxers around the house all day until they have to wash clothes for school" I frown

"Wow." I mumble as they all walk into the room.

"When's dinner going to be ready?" Ryan asks.

"In 2 hours? But first-" I push myself up and sit down on the table.

They all look at me confused, as Dimitri shakes his head, running a hand over his face.

"Right. Chores. Now-" they start walking out of the room.

"Hey! Guys I'm talking" I say and they all walk back inside and stare at me with their arms crossed

"I'm going to be living here too guys. And I would at least like you guys to work around the house so it's  clean. I'm no clean freak, but imagine someone walks inside and they see shirts on the floor. Weird right?" They sigh

"Fine" they mumble

"What? Just fine. I've been telling you guys to clean up for months. And now she's here, and she gets a fine" Seth exclaims.

"Well she's hot-"

"And she's making food for us"

I blush slightly as Dimitri frowns at them.

"Stop it Dan" Dimitri holds my hand tightly.

They all smirk. These guys are good

"Why? Jealous?" Dimitri growls lowly at them.

"I'll shoot you all" he glares at them. Seth bursts out laughing and then they all follow.

"Dimitri and Kara sitting in a tree-" I shake my head, knowing my face is heating up.

"Stop it guys. Please. Now on to chores. I want everyone to bring their dirty clothes-actually no. What's your names?" I look at two guys in front of me.

"Liam. And this is Bradley" Liam says and I nod

"I want you to the laundry please" they frown

"But Michael's socks stick" I smile

"Laundry then. And this half of the side will be be doing dishes and the garden. And this side will be doing the vacuum and the swimming pool." Seth frowns

"I won't be able to do it. I have work" I smirk

"I have work as well. Everyone has school as well, but they're all going to do it." Dimitri shakes his head

"Seth has work, kare-bear. He can't do it" I nod slowly as they all nod.

"Okay. And Dimitri, you'll be helping Liam and Bradley with laundry" I smile at him as he shakes his head

"No. I'll be helping you cook" I nod

"Okay. Now everyone get started, because by the time you're finished, the dining table with be ready" they all walk out except Seth.

"I'll be in the garage" Dimitri nods as he walks out of the room. 

I jump down from the table, and look at the bags. There's at least 40-50 bags.

"What does Seth do?" I pick up bags opening them up and placing all the items on the counters.

"Work" I shrug getting the ice cream tubs and placing them in the freezer.

"I'll get the steak out" Dimitri says and I nod.

Everything is for my protection.
Living here is somehow for my protection.
