Eliza's POV

I watched as Gabe poured coffee in the cups. All three seemed to have the powder in them. Wow I'd have to teach him to clean.

Gabe turned the kettle on then turned around and went behind me. He opened a drawer and I heard it rattle as he got out a spoon I guessed. He stood himself up but stayed behind me. I got the feeling he was leaning on the desk behind me

"Do you want milk and sugar?" He asked. His breath tickled my neck he was that close to me.

"Put a drop of milk in two of them and a teaspoon of sugar in the black one" the lady said as she and her family removed their shoes. He felt Gabe move behind them then I felt a slight prick on my buttock. Like one of those weird stabbing feeling you get.

I heard gabe open the draw as he got out another spoon then went to his drive.

"So are you two a couple" the woman asked as she walked closer. She looked around about 50 and there was man who I presumed was her husband who also looked 50. With them with a guy who looked mine and Gabes age who I would say is their son. I figured they weren't dangerous and that they all came as whatever Gabe was selling much have required a lot of mans strength.

"No no" I laughed "we are just really close friends" the women smiled "so do you have a boyfriend" she asked me as the kettle finished boiling and Gabe poured the water in

"Nope unfortunately" I laughed and she turned to Gabe "he doesn't have a girlfriend either, well not that I know of" I said and she turned back and nodded

"I'm just going to leave the boys to it" she laughed "I'm not strong enough to even attempt to carry that sofa but I'll be able to bark the orders" she laughed and I laughed too but what sofa was she on about. Gabe didn't have another sofa anywhere in the house and he didn't tell me he was telling the one in his living room. Maybe he was getting a new one and didn't think to tell me but I found that strange

The guy came over to his mother and handed her her drink. He was really attractive and I did keep my eye on him as he walked off

"He's single" the woman winked at me. I giggled "I'm Maggie by the way" she said "my husband is Peter and my son is Harry"

"I'm Eliza and that's Gabe as you should know" I said. Wow. I'm surprised that this family turned out really nice. I turned to face Gabe who was taking the boys to the sofa and he seemed to be talking about it. So he was selling his sofa.

I felt my head go a little dizzy again. That caffeine was still in my system. dam it. I went to the counter and grabbed my drink just to try to ease it.

Harry then walked over

"This is Eliza" Maggie said as he approached. I nodded and waved and he said hi

"Dad says that he likes it, so we are-" he was cut off when he collapsed to the floor. His mother went to go aid him but then she was laying on the floor. I felt my own body go really light and the next thing I knew I saw Peter falling to the floor before darkness.

Gabes POV

And so we begin.
