Second Chances

Mission impossible

I open my eyes and check the time. Seeing I have plenty of time, I carefully wiggle my way out of Aiden's arms, not wanting to wake him. I successfully slide out of the bed without waking him and on my tip toes make my way to Kyle's to room. I quickly and quietly grab some comfy clothes and make my way silently to the bathroom to take a shower. I take a quick a shower, get dressed, and head to the kitchen.

I locate the coffee pot and get it started. I search the refrigerator for what I need to make breakfast sandwiches. I'm happy when I find bacon, eggs, and even a can of biscuits. Leaving the biscuits momentarily, I grab everything else.

I search the cabinets and get disappointed when I don't find the ingredients needed for homemade biscuits so I give in and grab the can out of the fridge. Opening the can up knowing that it will be loud I still end up jumping when it pops. When my heart calms I pull apart the biscuits and place them on a cookie sheet and pop them into the oven.

I fry up the bacon, then using the grease I start frying up the eggs. While I'm waiting for the last of the eggs to cook, the timer goes off and I pull the biscuits out. When everything is ready I assemble the breakfast sandwiches adding a slice of cheese to each one.

I finish pouring the coffee into the to-go cups, just as I hear someone enter the kitchen. Turning I find Aiden, stretching in the entryway. "Good morning sweetie, you didn't need to do all this," he tells me as he gestures around.

"It's the least I can do," I say. He doesn't say anything just comes over and wraps me in his arms.

"We're going to do our best to get her back sweetie," he murmurs in my ear, he gently kissing the top of my head before he lets go and steps back.

"Good morning cupcake, did you get up early and do this?" Logan asks stepping into the kitchen.

"Yes, I wanted to make sure you all were focused," I reply.

Logan smiles and comes over pulling me into a hug and also kisses the top of my head. I can hear Kyle grumbling as he comes into the kitchen, but halts his grumble when he sees us and puts a smile on his face.

"Good morning baby doll. It smells delicious, I assume you did this?" He ask and I just nod. He comes over and picking me up he hugs me tight and kisses my cheek, he sets me down and grabs a sandwich just as there's a knock at the door.

Aiden goes to answer it and comes back with Tucker, Christopher, and Mason in tow.

"Good morning!" I smile and call out to them and then point to the sandwiches. "Help yourself," I tell them.

"Thank you Grace," Tucker says speaking up. The other two add thanks around bites of food. In no time the boys have ate, and after cleaning up they go into the dining room to go over their plan one more time before they head out.

I stay in the kitchen and start cleaning up the mess I had made. I am washing the last dish, when I feel arms go around me, causing me to jump.

I hear a warm masculine chuckle as the arms around me tighten. "Sorry sweetie, we're leaving," Aiden says amusement clear in his tone.

I turn and face him and nod suddenly finding myself unable to speak. He just squeezes me to him, and when he lets go, the arms of Logan immediately go around me, followed by Kyle.

I watch as the six guys walk out the door, when it clicks shut I whisper be careful, before heading to the living and taking a seat on the couch. It doesn't take long before my legs start bouncing with anxious energy, so I decide to see what I can do to distract myself.

First I head to the kitchen, with the dishes done there's not much left that needs to be done, so I sweep and mop. Next I go to each of the guy's rooms and gathering all the dirty laundry, heading to the laundry room I start a load and the next thing I know I'm cleaning the whole house.
