Click hereI went and sat between Dom and Jase when I returned to the fire pit a lot more comfortable now. I bumped Jase with my shoulder and joined in with the singing. He looked over smiled and bumped my shoulder back. After about an hour everyone started leaving, it was like a mass exodus. I put out the fire pit and worked my way to the front door. Chewy was just saying goodnight to Dom and his wife.
"Has everyone gone" I asked.
"Oh shit Trace I forgot." He looked sincerely sorry.
"That's okay I'll just call a cab."
"I'd drive you but I've been drinking" he shut the front door and locked it. I looked at him as if to say I need to go through that door. "Tell you what, you can crash in Beth's room she's on vacation with her family at the moment so she won't be needing it. I've an early day tomorrow so I can drop you home just before 5am. Is that ok?" Chew seemed to be blushing while he was talking ten to the dozen about our predicament.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm meeting Jase at 5am to go running in the park so that should be fine."
"Really" he said with a smirk on his face. I just ignored him and followed him to Beth's room.

I woke up about 4:30am and could hear Chewy roaming around the house so I got up and put myself together, grabbed my bag and walked out into the kitchen. He was making coffee.
"Do you want one for the road I have take-away cups."
"I will love you forever, you are my hero. Black please."
With his back to me he says "Well you're easy to please"
"You have no idea" was my reply. He twisted his head in my direction and winked at me. Who is this guy. He lives like a king, he seems to be independently wealthy and he lives with his cousin. Is he straight, is he gay, is he bi. He just seems so different. He keeps winking at me, what the hell is that about. Although that part I like. He handed me my coffee and we made our way to the front door.
Standing in the foyer I quickly eyed my art piece again, I forgot it was there. He must of seen me.
He said "Do you like that. I got that up at the gallery in Duke, I kept going back to it while I was there so I had to have it. Some girl made it."
Some GIRL made it. Is this a joke I know my brother told him I was in Art School at Duke and my name would have been with the piece. My heart sank to my knees I was shaking and I could feel the tears coming.
"You are still calling me girl. Geez it's been like ten years. Go to hell asshole." And I stormed out and down his driveway, out into the morning. I think I'll walk this anger off. I knew he hadn't changed, just an act in front of Callen.
I just wanted to say I am loving this story! So glad to see an author who's taking their time and building up a real background! As for all those out there complaining about your grammar, spelling and punctuatio, I hope you know that for as many outspoken and frankly rude people you have commenting there are just as many who have no issue. What you write is totally understandable and while yea there are mistakes there are not enough to make it hard to read or follow the story. I think people lose sight of the fact that you are doing this for free for our entertainment which should be thanked not torn apart. So for those of us out there who are less likely to speak up cause we see nothing really wrong, thank you. It's a great story and I look forward to reading the rest... The loud mouths out there PLEASE learn the thumper rule. It's ridiculous to see a dozen people making the same commen! Quit being bullies!
Geesh, I wonder how these ppl are when they pay for novels with grammar issues that were missed lol I stand by the fact that if one is really great at grammar/linguistics as one believes, he or she should have no problem reading through any published works smh I have the ability to correct minor errors as I read and that was prior to having to degrees in English (:
Anyway, I am pleased to see your great writing has continued into this chapter. I'm hoping Alex/Chewy made an honest mistake in thinking the art piece was made by a woman rather than by a man. Loved seeing how Callen sticks by his baby brother!
Please start using correct punctuation. This is so much harder to read. Read it out loud - maybe that will help. Lit has volunteer editors that may be able to help too. It detracts from the story.
Need to work on your punctuation :-)
Please keep going!!!!!!!
