When I closed the bathroom door I Leaned up against it and let a giggle out then walked over to the shower getting the water going then climbed in
I heard the door open and footsteps come in
Rinsing my face off
I see Gabriel in the bathroom at the shower door opening it

"Alexis here are more feminine scents for you to wash with since I don't think you want to smell like a Man "
" Depends on the Man " I answered back
" Good Answer But still here you and there is shampoo and conditioner for your hair to tame those curls Oh you have one sexy body beautiful " He says as he closed the shower door

I giggled at him not even caring that he saw me naked

I took the items he gave me and popped the shampoo open to wash my hair

Finishing up in the shower I turned the water off stepped out grabbed the towel which was on a towel rack that was heated
Oh so warm and nice

After drying off I wrapped the towel around my hair to help dry it

Then walk out into the bedroom

" Sweet Jesus Kitten "

" Sorry " I say as Pull the towel off my head and wrap it around me

He pulls the towel off me

" No need to cover up Kitten you are beautiful"

" Thank you but you haven't see all the scars "

" Yes I have Kitten I can see your back in the mirror and if your Step Father comes any where near you I'll kill him for what he put you through You can count on that all 17 of us will " Raven said as his fingers brushed my hair off my shoulder he kissed my cheek then left the room

I took a moment to breath then got dressed
Gabriel picked out a  sleeveless dress and sandals to wear and matching bra and panties
Lord he's been through my underwear drawer I wonder if he saw Bob
Now that got me to smile and giggle imagining him seeing it

Once dressed I went back in the bathroom to work on my hair
I left my hair down but grabbed a hair tie just Incase

Going down the stairs I hear all their voices

They are spread out between the kitchen and living room

When I hit the bottom step they all stopped talking and looked at me

" Good Choice Alexis I love your hair down " Gabriel said

"Thank you I grabbed the hair tie from last night just in case this mop goes frizzy on me I really need to get it trimmed " I say

" I can take care of it for you this afternoon after we go shopping You have the bare amount of clothes and not to mention what I found in your Underwear Drawer "

I laughed and laughed

" Not funny Little Lady why do you have that thing " Gabriel asked with a semi smile

" Well you know A girl gets horny and what better way then to get a release from Bob he doesn't talk back always ready and on demand " I Says with a grin and laugh

" Bob" North questioned

" Battery Operated Boyfriend AKA A Vibrator" Both Gabriel and I say

" I don't think you need that anymore , Gabriel I hope you trashed it " Chase said

" I did it wouldn't have given her any good Pleasure anyway "

" Damn I never got to use it I just bought it two weeks ago it was still in the box" I said

" Well it's gone now " Gabriel

" Argh " I said

I felt a body come up behind me pressing into me their arms come around my waist
" Bellissimo no need to get upset If  you want the thing back I'm sure Gabriel will get it out of the trash for you " Axel said

" It's not the fact he threw it way I just don't want you all to run my life I can do it that on my own and Make my own decision " I say

" And you should Alexis I know Chase mentioned we all would love to have a relationship with you , How do you feel about it " Axel Asked

" I don't know Honestly how I feel about it , I need time to think about it I mean how would it work do we go out on dates like a normal couple x 17  do we do individual dates , is it scheduled because there are 17 of you " I say to them

" Alexis those are all good questions how about you go out with Gabriel today shopping then this afternoon we can all talk about it " Owen said

I heard my phone ring I looked around and found it on the counter

" Here Baby Girl " Marc said as he hands me The phone

The message for a Voicemail pops up so I click it not even thinking about who called

" Alexis  You Little Whore I will find you I'm gettin closer to figuring out where you went I know you sold your car and bought a Jeep soon I will find you "

I deleted the message

"Bellissimo was that your Step Father " Axel Asked I forgot he was standing behind me

" Yes and seems I need to sell the Jeep now but I need to go out of town to do so I'm not leading him here Damn it" I say

" No need to sell it Alexis well not in the sense of actually selling it , Just transfer the title to one of us but it's your vehicle it will just come up as one of us owning it keeping him off your trail " Brandon said

" You think that would work " I say

" Yes I think it would " Owen Said

" Okay I will then I'll have to get the title from the lock box in the bedroom at my place "

" No need to rush you can get it when ever "

" Come eat breakfast Alexis Baby you are going to need it with Gabriel today "

I went over to the island and sat down North put a plate in front of me

After breakfast Gabriel and I left to go shopping he drove since my Jeep was still at my place
As we rode along Gabriel reached for my hand and held it
When we parked at the Mall , He came around and opened the door offered his hand for me to get out with then closed the door I leaned up against the car

"I apologize if I over stepped my bounds "

" It's okay Gabriel, I shouldn't reacted the way I did "

" No You had ever right too Trouble "
" Trouble I'm not Trouble "
" Yes you are "
" Meanie "
" Ha I'm not mean "
" Yes you are your calling me Trouble "
He placed his hands on either side of my head on the window of  car

" Alexis you are Trouble , You are causing Trouble with my heart I haven't had these feelings for a woman like I do with you in the last 15 hours of being able to physically see you , Chase , Boone and Davis would talk about you over the past 6 months and we all got to know you through them and when I saw you Last night scared to death all I wanted to was pulling you in my arms and hold you tight " he says as he leans in his soft lips land on mine then his tongue swipes across my lip asking for entrance which I gladly give to him
He took command the kiss from the start I melted into him

" See your Trouble But Your My Trouble " He says as we pull apart

" And your My Meanie " I say back
His face lights up with a smile

" Come lets get shopping "

And Shopping we did , Gabriel left me at the the food court to take some of bags from the first half of the shopping trip out
I was sitting at a table eating fries because I was hungry and as Gabriel Said North wasn't around to tell us to eat something healthy

As I am sitting there a guy with Beady Eyes kept staring at me then he made his way over to me I looked around to see if Gabriel was in sight but he wasn't so I put my phone on the table in my hand

" So what's a pretty girl like yourself doing  all alone " he asked as he got closer

" I'm not alone My Boyfriend just left for a second "

" Oh Pretty girl he's been gone longer than a second maybe he found another pretty thing to mess with how about you and I go play "

"Uh No I'll just wait here for him " I said

He got closer and grabbed my wrist my phone when flying across the floor then he jerked me out of chair

" Let me go you asshole " I yelled
Smack his hand landed on my cheek
" Let me go Now"
He smacks me again

" Fucking Asshole let me go " I yelled even louder I went up with my knee into his nuts

He growls at me pushing me down on to the floor

" What the hell "

I knew that voice I looked up to see Boone , Gabriel and North and the look on all three faces were murderous

"Don't stick your nose in my business I'm dealing with my girl " the beady Eyes Guy said

" Oh Hell No That's My Girlfriend not yours" North Yelled as he grabbed the guy by his shirt pulling him backward Choking him with the shirt

" Take the trash out North " Boone said
" Yes I think I will " North responded
Gabriel came over and helped me off the floor he pulled me into a bear hug

" Trouble I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you "

" Meanie it's okay I'm fine thanks to the three of you " I say to him as I kiss his cheek

" Hey what about me " Boone says with a pout

" Oh Come here you big lug " I say

I hugged him and kissed his cheek

When North came back I hugged and kissed his cheek too

" When did you two come "
" A few more Ago We came to help keep Gabriel from running you ragged we all know how he can be " Boone said

" Ha he's been fabulous well minus the argument over the nightgown "

" You will thank me later I'm telling you " He said with a grin

" Come On I think we have three more places then we can head out to get a real lunch with these two " Gabriel said
