The Blending of The Blackbourne and Toma Teams ( Completed)

7

I followed Luke back to the Blackbourne Compound once we got there Luke helped unload the Jeep and carry the food in
We got into the kitchen before anyone noticed us of course it was when the smell of food was in the air all of a sudden almost every member of the Blackbourne Family was in the kitchen thank god it's big enough to hold all of these people .

Luke and I were getting the bread ready for the meatballs that were warming up in the marinara sauce .
North came in " Do you two need any help"
" Yes you  can please get the salad out along with the dressing I made oh and I need some cheese for the subs " I say
North moved about and got what I said done and he pulled out two different cheeses sliced mozzarella and a bar of Parmesan.

" Oh we are having another Meal made by Chef Harper Toma tonight " Sang said as she came in
" Yes Mama Sang Uncle Luke cane and helped me with making the meatballs and he Came up with the Idea of Meatbal Subs So here we are " I say as I give her a hug
" Well I love it when cook for us you will make a wonderful Chef "
" Thank you "

Luke and I worked together getting the subs ready as Silas and Kota , Morgan and Mason got the table set . Once we got the subs done we Put them in the oven to melt the cheese .
After all that we brought the pans that held the subs to the table so everyone could grab their own .
About the time I sat down my phone went off with a text message I looked at

Melody
hey beautiful I know we haven't talked today but how's it going

Me
Good I got a lot done at the cafe and now are currently going to devour a meatball sub over at my other family's house

Melody
Oooh sounds delicious so are you and Dustin going out again

Me
Maybe , but I have something to talk with you about but I'm not going to text it cause you never know who's eyes are on

Melody
Ha I understand come by later then

Me
Sure

"Harper "
" Oh Yes "
" It's time to eat not text " Owen said
" Sorry " I say

" Owen " Sang said
" It's okay Mama Sang I shouldn't be "
" So have you picked out a dress for the Gala yet " Sang asked
" No Gabriel has some for me try on tonight " I say
" So are you going to Ask Dustin to go " Morgan asked
" Nope "
" Your Not " Mason replied
" No I'm going to go alone this year Well Dateless but I'm going with my Family " I tell them
" Really " Victoria says
" Yes Victoria I don't need a date to have fun " I tell her

My phone went off with another text but this time it was from Todd , Owen and Kota's phone went off too

Todd
You think going out with him is going to keep me away from you are so wrong

I looked up to see Uncle Owen' and Uncle Kota's Face it wasn't Happy
I cleared the notification before anyone could read it .
Then I slid the chair back and got up
" Where you going Harper" Mama Sang asked with a concerned look
" Uh I need to use the restroom " I say
"Oh okay you know where it is " she replied still with the look of I don't believe you but I'll let it go

I left the table and went upstairs to the bathroom instead of using the one downstairs I needed to get away and gather my thoughts
Shutting the door I slide down the door holding my legs against my chest I let the tears fall even after all this time he still scares the hell out of me .

A hand touch my shoulder  I jumped looking up
" Mason "
" Yes it's me why are you hiding in the bathroom and is that tears " he asked as he squats down in front of me he takes my hands and holds them in his then puts them both in one hand and takes his other hand to my face lifting it to meet his
" Harper you know you can talk to me right "
" Yes I know Mason "I croaked out
Mason moves around lifting me up off the floor and carrying me into his and Morgan's room places me on the bed
" Talk to me Jellybean " Mason says
" If I tell you , you have to promise not to tell anyone else in your family well minus Uncle Owen and Kota "
" Alright "
" Here read the text it will be easier " I say as I hand my phone to him .

I laid down on the bed as he read them. I then felt the bed dip down and he crawled in behind me curling me into him . His arms wrapped tightly around me
" So Todd is making a scene now and both Daddy Owen and Kota Know , no one else"
" Yeah that's it Uncle Owen said if things got worse he would tell Daddy Axel himself which I have a feeling he has already told him just because there are no secrets when it comes to us kids " I tell him

We laid in the bed for awhile I dozed off in his arms until I heard a voice and Mason talking
Morgan
Then it was quite again and I heard Uncle Owen
" You know about that jerk texting her " Mason asked
" Yes I do Mason she came to me and Kota about it " Owen replied
" Well I found her in the bathroom crying because of that asshole " Mason said
" Mason James Blackbourne watch your mouth " Owen said with that tone of his " Now I get that you are mad but you are not tell anyone not even your twin or Sammy or Jacks or Grey she wants to deal with this herself and Myself and Daddy Kota Have put a tracer on his texts to her so if and when he does like tonight we get the text too and after tonight's text we are going to have re-evaluate this Because if he comes after her again I don't want her hurt again " Owen said
" Again what do mean again , What does this have anything to do with what happen a year ago when she went away for a few weeks to stay with the Andersons " Mason asked
" I'm not going to answer that, if you want to know ask her yourself " Owen answered

I shifted in the bed so that they would stop talking and think I was waking up even though I Already was awake and ease-dropping
" When she wakes up get her to eat and if she still wants to try on dresses go find Daddy Gabriel and after y'all are done between you and Morgan drive her home " Owen told him

" How about she stay the night instead and we can have a sleepover like we did when we were kids " Mason suggested

" That's up to her"
Owen left the room to head back downstairs.

" Jellybean What kind of trouble have you gotten into Baby Girl " Mason asked as he tucked my hair behind my ear
His fingers traced along my jaw and ear when he did
He kissed the back of my head

I heard another set of footsteps come down the hallway and stop at the door

" Why is Harper in your Bed "
" Because she was upset about something " Mason answered
" About What "
" Look Sammy I cant say anything and if she wants you know then she will tell you " Mason answers him
" Dustin didn't do anything to her did he " Sammy growls out
" No he didn't so calm down " Mason said
My phone went off singing to let me know a text had arrived
I wiggled in Masons Arms and mumbled "Damn phone interrupting my sleep this better be good "
Both Sammy and Mason chuckled
" Oh wait" I say as I open my eyes to see Masons Bright green eyes staring at me , Man I never noticed how bright they are
" Well if it isn't Sleepyhead Harper " Mason Said with a laugh
" Hey can't fault me this bed is comfy besides you put out enough body heat to soothe anyone to sleep " I say with a giggle
" Oh so I'm only good for my body heat " Mason said acting all hurt
" Yep " I said
Next thing I know I'm being ticked to death by both Sammy and Mason
Somehow I ended up in between them both on the bed like a piece of cheese between two slices of warm bread I was melting
I placed my head into Masons Chest trying to catch my breath from being tickled and also the closeness of them two what the hell harper get your hormones under control
