Ours to Love

Chapter 2

Aspen Ford:-

“ Wake up, sleeping beauty. Mom and dad are waiting for you at the breakfast table.” I heard my brother Emerson said.

“ Let me sleep….Go away,” I said, hiding my face under my pillow. I slept late last night after working on the case last night and don’t feel like waking up now.

“ Nope…no, mom asked me to drag your lazy ass out of the bed if I have to.” He replied, and I groaned.

“ Tell mom, I am not hungry,” I said without bothering to open my eyes.

“ Okay, as you wish,” Emery said innocently, and I know that tone. It means Edwin is also with him, and they both are planning to do something reckless with me.

“ 1…2…3,”  I heard Edwin count, and the next thing I know, the pillow was snatched away from me, and a bucket of f*****g cold water was thrown over me.

“f**k!” I screamed, waking up with my nightgown all wet with the cold water. I heard both of them laughing at me, and I groaned, “ EMERY, ED. I WILL f*****g KILL YOU.” I yelled, standing up from the bed.

“ Oh…oh! Trouble.” Edwin said, looking at his twin. They ran out of the room, and I ran after to chase them. I am so gonna kill them today. They have got long legs than mine, so obviously, they were running faster than me. I reached the dining room while chasing them and saw both of them sitting on the chairs beside mom like they didn’t do anything.

“ Princess, what happened? Why is your nightgown all wet?” dad asked, looking at me with a confused expression. He took off the suit jacket that he was wearing and put it on me to prevent me from the cold. I looked at my dad, who was still looking so handsome even in his late forties.  Trust me, he can still do the modeling and win millions of women’s hearts, but his whole heart belongs to my mom.

“ Dad, I am so f*****g going to kill them. They threw a cold bucket of water on me when I wasn’t waking up.” I tell dad while glaring at them.

“  Language, Aspen.” Mom said sternly, and I rolled my eyes.

“ Mom,  I am twenty-three. I can use words like f**k, s**t, and blah blah.” I tell my mom while rolling my eyes, “ Mom, you know I worked really hard on the case last night, so it was unable for me to wake up this early in the morning, then why did you send these annoying twins in my room to wake me up? Even you asked them to drag my ass out of the bed if they have to.”

“ First of all, honey. I know you can use this type of words, but it would be better if you don’t use it in front of your parents because we raised you better than that.” Mom said calmly and then glared at my brother angrily, who gulped and looked down “ And second of all, I didn’t send them to wake you up or more like asked them to drag your ass out of the bed when I know you really worked hard on the case last night.” My eyes widened after listening to her while mom smacked the twin’s head lightly.

“ When will you both stop annoying your sister?” mom asked sternly.

“ Emerson, Edwin. Why did you wake her up when we didn’t ask you to?” dad demanded them.

“ Sorry, mom and dad. We don’t like having breakfast without Aspen on the table with us. That’s why we went into her room and woke her up.” Ed replied.

“  We like to have a whole family breakfast every day before going to work,” Emerson added, looking at dad and then at mom.

“ Awww! It’s so cute. My sons want to have breakfast with their sister on the table. “ mom said, looking happy, then looked at dad.

“ Bunny, your sons, are twenty-three now, so stop treating them like they are still babies,” Dad said.

“ Yes, mom. We have grown up.” Both twins said in unison and winked at me. They both are alike in every way except for their nature and eye color, which not anyone can tell except for our parents and me. Emerson’s eye color is a little darker than Edwin’s. Emerson has got the dominant personality while Edwin has got a gentle one. They both are muscular and well built in every perfect way. The women throw themselves at them due to their hot and good looks every chance they got.

I always considered the twins as my overprotective brother who will do anything to keep their sister safe. We were so close to each other and always got everyone's back; after all, we grew up in the same house with so much love and care from our amazing parents. However, the twins are not their biological children. They are adopted. But my parents never made them feel that they are less important than me. They give them the same attention, love that they gave to me.

But, when I turned fourteen years old, I began to have feelings for them. Not the feelings a sister would have for her brothers but the feelings a woman will have for a man she loves. I know it’s so wrong of me to consider the twin something else other than my brother, so that’s why I keep them controlled to myself bit always feel jealous whenever I see them with any other women. It’s so bad to have feelings for your brothers, but what’s worse, I have feelings for both of them, not just one, which is so inappropriate. I was brought back to reality by my mother’s sweet voice. I am the young version of her early twenties with same red hairs, green eyes, and facial features.

“ I know they have grown up, Seb. But they are still my babies to me just like you treat Aspen like a little baby to you.” Mom said to Dad, who groaned because he knows how much I hate when I am called a baby. We heard two more groans that were of twins. They both also hate when mom calls them babies, and I always tease them with it.

“ Awww! Little babies.” I teased both of them.

“ Look who is talking. A little baby.” They both teased me back.

“ And trust me, beautiful. We are not little in any way, and I mean anyway.” Edwin said with a wink, which made me blush and wet at the same time.

“ Edwin, that’s not the way to talk to your sister like that, and besides both of you, I don’t treat Aspen like a baby. I treat her like a princess. Right, princess?” dad asked, looking at me with a wink on his face, and I chuckled then kissed his cheek.

“ Yes, dad. You treat me like a princess.” I replied and looked at the twins.

“ So what? Mom treats us like her princes, right mom?” twins asked mom in unison, who shook her head with a smile on her face.

“ No. I treat both of you as my babies.” Mom replied. Dad and I burst out laughing while the twins looked at mom with shock on their faces.

“ MOM!!” they both said, embarrassed.

“ What? That’s for waking my beautiful daughter early in the morning.” Mom said, approaching me and kissed my cheek.

“ Honey, why don’t you go and change for office? You can come late with your dad if you want while the twins are going with me to the company.” Mom said.

“ No, we are not.” They said, and mom rolled her eyes because they always go late to the office. It’s a mom who always drags them office early with her.

“ Yes,  you are.” Mom said sternly, and then walked closer to dad, kissed his lips for good two minutes and pulled back.

“ See you at the office, husband.” Mom said.

“ Okay, bunny. I love you.” Dad said to mom with love in his eyes.

“ Love you too,” mom said, dragging twins out of the house with her, leaving dad and me alone.

“ So, what’s the plan for today?” I asked dad with a wicked smirk on my face.

“ Breakfast at your favorite café first, then you can go on the race track to race with me, and then we can go to the office. What say?” dad asked.

“ Seriously, dad. I can go on the race track to race with you?” I ask.

“ Sure, only if I am sitting in the car with you,” Dad replied.

“ Done, I love you. You are the best dad in the whole world.” I said, throwing my arms around him and kissed his cheek.

“ And you are the best daughter in the whole world,” dad said, “now go and change. I will be waiting for you in the living room, and don’t tell your mom about the race thing. Okay?”

“ Okay, dad. I will just come back in ten minutes.” With that said, I ran towards my room to get ready.
