Stubborness and secrets


Please note that I only speak English. All other languages are from google translate. Therefore they may be complete and utter cr*p. So if they are then sorry.


North

What the actual f**k? Why is this random girl, who just blew into my brother's hospital room like a hurricane, squeezing my cheeks together and why am I just standing here like an idiot and letting her?


Earlier


"Si you were f**king shot and you want to go back? You're f**king kidding me right?" I shout at my best friend and brother. I was so f**king worried and now he thinks he can just go back to the job that almost killed him? Nuh uh buddy. Not a freaking chance. I turn to Owen. "Owen, Kota, please someone tell him to snap out of it and stop being so stupid." I beg our team lead and our team liaison.

"Mr. Korba, going back in your current condition is out of the question. Mr. Taylor language please." Owen scolds us both with a weird look in his eyes. He's been acting strange since he got here and his eyes keep darting to the door every time there's a sound. I'll ask him about it later. But first back to shouting at my stubborn brother.

Kota

Silas is being stubborn and saying he wants to go back and help wrap up the job. Part of me is proud, but the other, more smarter, part of me knows its not possible. I understand wanting to finish something you started but he got really hurt. If he goes back things could get a lot worse.

"Silas you know that's not an option. Plus almost everything is done. The takedown is tomorrow and you are in no shape to participate. To do so would be extremely reckless." I deliver the news calmly, knowing he won't be happy about it but that its ultimately for the best.

"Den eímai charoúmenos gia aftó, allá tha dechtó óti boró na káno típota." (I'm not happy about it but will accept that there is nothing I can do.)He says grumpily in Greek. I look to North for translation.

"He says he'll stay in bed and not interfere." North says and Silas snorts loudly with a smirk. That is most definitely not what he said but I will stay silent on the subject for now.

"Sígoura aderfé. O, ti peis." (Sure brother. Whatever you say) Silas says smirking at North.

They start arguing about something or another. I tune them out and turn to Owen. Out of the corner of my eye I see Raven and Marc watching North and Silas with smirks on their faces. Most likely making fun of the younger men's childish behavior. I would too in their shoes.

"I was thinking-" I start saying to Owen before the hospital room doors open and cut me off. A stunning girl-no a woman and Sean appear from outside. Owen seems to tense up at the sight of them.

The girl looks aroud the room with a glance and stops when she reaches North. She takes one look at him before striding right up to and squishing his cheeks together. What the hell? I can tell this isn't going to end well.

Owen

I've been keeping the girl I love from my brothers for almost four years now. Its selfish I know that, but I also know that as soon as my brothers meet her they will fall for her as hard as I have. So I've been keeping her away and satisfying her curiosity of the boys by telling her stories about their childhood and the years I've spent with them. I knew though that it was only a matter of time before her curiosity won out. Thus leading to her seeking out the famous diner and meeting Mr. Coleman and Mr. Luke Taylor this morning. It really was only a matter of time. I just hope she doesn't leave me for them. I don't think I could survive it if she does. I think back to the time I realized that I was hopelessly in love with the goddess supposedly called Charlotte.

Flashback

Three years ago

A few weeks after Charlotte had told me about her being a goddess and the other worlds of supernatural beings, she approached me with an important question.

"Owie, why can't I meet them? The other boys I mean. I'm your family too, aren't I? So I should get to meet the rest of us, right?" Charlotte asked softly, this being one of the rare times where she was fully serious.

"Of course darling. You know you will forever be part of my family. I just...don't want to have to share you quite yet." Or not at all. I silently add, the very thought of sharing her with my brothers making my body freeze in pain.

"You promise?" She asked softly, staring deeply into my eyes and biting her bottom lip. That was the moment that I knew that I would eternally be in love with Charlotte 'Char' Knight.

"Yes. I promise."


End of flashback

And I've been hopelessly in love ever since. Now she's meeting more of my brothers and already shocking and surprising them. Oh boys you're in for a lovely surprise. She's been waiting for this for years. 'Just you boys wait. You haven't seen anything yet.' I think quietly to myself as I watch her go up to the fearsome North and squish his cheeks. 'They are in for a wild ride, that's for sure and I'll be by her side for every step of the way.' I chuckle to myself as my brothers start reacting to the crazy wonderful being that is Charlotte Knight, the love of my life.


Hiiiiiii. So this chapter is kinda a filler, kinda not. You guys needed to know how Owen felt about her and as to why she hasn't met the boys until now. Thank you so much for reading. Shout out to stappb2368 and _danielle_36 for being the first two to vote on chapter 4. Sweet, Owen filled dreams, day or night ;) Buh bye *waves like a maniac as you slowly back away* 👋
