Awkward,

is the word I would use right now we all sit silently while Harry smirks looking at Kayden, who is glaring daggers at my cousin brother Harvey Campbell. They were shocked knowing each other's importance in my life. Moreover like Harry was shocked that I got a boyfriend, according to him, he wouldn't let me or Chel date till we are 25. And Kayden was shocked to know that he is my brother, I don't know what else he thought Harry is.

Chel looks at me with frown whereas I sigh, "will you guys get over with the fact, that Harry is my brother & Kayden is my boyfriend?"

You mean your secret lover? My subconscious mind suggested. But I ignored it. Duh.

"Fine. But he has too a give a test." Harry shrugged innocently while Kayden's eyes widened like he knew why this test was.

"Test?" I asked.

"Yep. A test. Now you go away while Chel & I conduct the test." Chel smirked, she definitely knew what this test.

I was the only exceptional, "now shoo Sky!l" They both exclaim smirking at Kayden who has a worried face plastered. I bite my lip & look at Kayden mouthing, 'sorry.'

Then walk towards the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water then slowly climbed upstairs, making sure not to stress my stomach. When I enter my room I sit on my bed & take a huge gulp of water then walk into my bathroom & search the first aid kit.

Then I walk into my wardrobe & stand in front of my long mirror. I pull my T-shirt above my head leaving me in my sports bra. I sigh looking at the bandage then slowly start peeling it off when I hear my door open. I stop midway & say, "in the wardrobe."

Then Kayden comes into the view with a big grin, "hey! changing your bandage?" I nod looking at through the mirror.

"What was the test about?" I ask, peeling the bandage off me. He comes in front of me then pulls my seater & sits in front of me. "It was about if I'm worth of their beautiful sister." He slowly runs his finger around my stitches. I look at him whereas he just stares at the cut.

"Oh? So what was the outcome."

"I proved that I'm but I know I don't truly. You're worth a millions." A smile escapes on my face as I run my fingers through his hair. He sighs, "come I'll dress your wound today." He took the first aid from me & started dressing the wound up as I stared at him.

"Oh & Dec is gonna turn 10 on 10th December. We're planning for a party."

"That's great. Lemme know if you guys need my help."

"Mhm. All done." He stood up & stared at my neck for a second then immediately looked anywhere but at me, I frowned at his reaction, "y-your, Uh, T-shirt." He stammered as his cheeks turned red. Then my eyes widened when realisation hit me. I immediately grabbed my T-shirt & wore it. He wasn't staring at my neck but at my cleavage, boys.

But atleast he didn't make a move! My subconscious mind yelled at me.

Since when did my mind start protesting with itself?

I clear my throat, "you're blushing. Seems like you loved me in my inner," I wasn't suppose to say this!

I bite my lip & exit the wardrobe, "wanna watch some movie?"

"Huh? Yeah." He follows me as I pick the remote & switch on the tv. Neither of us speak, well who would after such an embarrassing moment. "What about She's the man?" I ask.

He shakes his head, "Nah, put some action one."

"Action?"

"Yeah like Black Panther,"

"Then Black panther it is." I say & put on the movie. He pulls the blanket above us as I lean against the headboard. After some time I feel his arm wrapping across my waist. I smile & keep my head on his shoulder as we continue watching the movie.

'Come one girls! Everyone will be hear in few moments!' Mom announces through Alexa as I comb my hair. The McCoys & The Campbells will be here any minute for thanksgiving. And yes it's finally thanksgiving.

It's been almost a week since Harvey has arrived & Kayden is getting along with him just fine. I even informed Harry about Kyle's request to contact with him, Harry face immediately fell making me suspicious but I shrugged it off. Who knows what goes on with them.

The process of bringing down Xyion is in work & I couldn't be more happy about it. But as dad said it will take months to finally get him down & in that time span he can do a lot of things to harm us. So I'm in alert mode 24/7.

I exit my room as Chel exits it's her room. I extend my hand forward for her to take as we descend the stairs, "you look lovely lil' sis."

"Thank you. You look beautiful too Sky." I thank her & walk towards the lawn as Chel runs towards my aunt & I hug my uncle, wishing him happy thanksgiving. After greetings Harry, Chel & I sit beside the pool as the males do grilling & females set the table. Then the McCoys enter. Gabriella carried the very yummy looking lasagna to mom. I licked my lips wanting to eat that all myself. We all wish them happy thanksgiving as Kayden pecks my lips & takes a seat beside me.

After some time we all chat then eating. We rotated every dish around then praising the cook who made a particular. When my cupcakes & cookies were passed everyone become silent after taking the first bite. It made me wary. It could either taste very bad or very good. I'm hoping for very good. Then suddenly everyone started praising making me sigh in relief.

I made the cupcakes & cookies yesterday with lots of convincing people. My parents & Chelsea were not allowing me to make it because if my wound. I argued endlessly & mom was on the verge to call the cooks back so that they can help me. But I denied, I mean who wouldn't they are on thanksgiving holidays with their family.

I didn't want to be a barrier in that. After some time they realised I wouldn't back down so they let me make it but they kept on creeping into the kitchen to check upon me. Pfft.

I smiled looking at everyone as we all chatted & ate with with huge grins. Everything was perfect right now & I couldn't ask for more. The only thing I wanted was to bring Xyion McAdams down, for trying to kidnap my sister. And planning on destroying my family company & Kayden's career.

And I will achieve it all.
