《The Nash Brothers (Completed)》20. Dating and Decisions.
Advertisement
Rolling over I grinned into my pillow, another new day, free of my mother, surrounded by family and friends and... well whatever was happening with the boys.
I laughed aloud thinking how silly my thoughts were, calling them the boys, when they were anything but closing my eyes I could picture each of them when they had given me my birthday gift. Each has been nervous, Beau had tried to hide it by being his usual brash self, Trent had shown it, almost proud to let me see his emotions and Maverick had made me laugh, when he confused his words. Each had passed over their gift and kissed me softly, not worried by the friends and family looking on, grinning at the blush that had coated my cheeks.
When Dad and Ma had sat down with me the morning after my birthday and told me they would support whatever path I wanted to take with the boys, that it would be my choice, I had been surprised and a little scared... if Dad had made the decision for me, I could have hidden behind it, but now I had to decide what was right for me and for the family.
Their presents showed they wanted to spend time with me, as each had given me an experience voucher for two people, was that the answer, spend time with them and see where it went. I smiled again, I would have them all running for the hills if I said I wanted all of them because I didn't know how to choose one over the other. Each of them appealed to me in a different way. But I did not want them fighting each other, if that happened I would put an end to it, no matter what they said. So far though they had not asked for anything more.
My phone buzzed on the bedside table and I glanced at the screen to see Matt's name, I hit the speaker button "Hello"
"Hey Anni, do you know where Jazz is, she was supposed to meet me for tutoring this morning but hasn't shown up" I could hear the noise in the background telling me he was in the coffee shop on campus we all liked.
"Maybe she's just running late, have you tried phoning her?"
"Yes, its going to answerphone, I phoned her home and her mum said she didn't come home last night, did she stay with you?" he asked sounding worried.
I swung my feet round and reached for my dressing gown, "No. she left quite late, after I had gone to bed, about the same time as Jackson I think, hang on, let me see if her car is still here" I look out the window but can't see her car before walking down the hallway and looking out of the window above the stairs "Matt, she must still be here, her car is, I will find her and do you want me to call you back?"

"Thanks Anni, No need and I am sorry to have woken you, but Jazz is always so punctual and I was worried, tell her to give me a call when she's ready and not to worry about this morning" he laughs before ringing off.
I head for the nearest guest room, knocking before opening the door but the room is empty and so is the one next to it, and neither has been used. I know there's another guest room on the boys side of the house, so I head that way wondering why she would have chosen that one?
I knock softly and open the door, peaking in and sighing in relief as I saw her clothes thrown over the chair "Jazz, you okay?" I called, pushing the door open wider, before stopping dead as I saw the clothes strewn on the floor between the chair and the bed and they weren't Jazz's.
"Indiana?" Jackson's deep voice along with a squeak of panic came from the pile of covers on the bed, "Give us a moment will you" he called as I heard Jazz's muffled shout "Oh my god!"
I stepped back and shut the door quickly, I hadn't been expecting that, I knew they had hooked up before and she cared for him but I also thought they were still playing at hating each other.
"What's going on" I jumped at the sound of Beau behind me, amusement in his voice as he looked at me.
"Umm, Jackson... Jazz... umm" I stuttered out and he laughed out loud.
"Yes" he nodded at me, guiding me away, his arm warm through my nightclothes as we could hear the rising voices behind the guest room door.
"Go get dressed and we will grab some breakfast" he orders softly, giving me a little push in the direction of my room and I go, my mind wondering what happened last night after I had gone up to bed.
I heard the slam of door, raised voices and the rev of a car as I got dressed and wondered if it was Jackson or Jazz leaving in a hurry. I sent Jazz a quick text message to let her know Matt was trying to reach her and not to worry about meeting him, before heading down to the kitchen.
"What happened?" I asked Beau, sliding into the seat next to him, blushing as he pulled me close and kissed the tip of my nose before answering.
"Not sure, They both left before I got a chance to ask them, I knew Jack was staying but I didn't realise Jazz was in there too, he was walking her out to the car and arguing with her when I went to bed, John was still up , but until I heard you this morning I didn't know anything" he said with a grin.
"Uggh, what does this mean, are they together or not?" I mutter and he laughs.

"Did you know for over a year he has called her 'his flower' to us and until a few days ago we didn't know he meant Jazz, he kept her secret" he tells me and I smile back.
"How did you find out then?"
"He was jealous of her arriving with Matt and Sam to take you out to lunch, asked how to deal with it?" he laughed again and I narrowed my eyes at him.
"And what did you tell him?" I watched as Beau fidgeted in his seat, but Mav answered from behind us before Beau could.
"I quote"... "Grab her and tell her how you feel, and don't let her go until she listens and either gives in or gives you a way to change her mind"
I giggle till I see he is serious and then I gasp "He wouldn't, that's a bit drastic, would he?"
Mav's laugh echos Beau's as he comes to join us, stopping to drop a kiss on the top of my head as he passes, making me blush again. Honestly it's all I seem to do around them.
"Good morning sweetie, what have I missed?" he grins at me, as I look between him and Beau shocked at how casually they touch me in front of each other.
"Indi, found Jazz stayed over last night... with Jack" Beau filled him in.
Mav nodded. "About Time, I know we only just realised who his mystery girl but he's liked her for ages"
"So he took your advice?" Mav grins at Beau "Are we going to take his?" he teases.
I look between the two of them trying to work out the conversation. "What advice did he give you?"
"Umm" Beau looks at Mav in panic and I feel sorry for putting him on the spot and making him uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, ignore my question, I have no right to pry" I put my hand on top of his and squeeze gently, causing him to groan and I yank my hand back, muttering "Sorry" again, did I hurt him? And why is Maverick laughing so much?
"Ouch!" Mav groans when Beau kicks him under the table and glares at him.
"Ignore them sweetie, they are just playing with you" Trent says from my side making me jump again, I hadn't heard him come into the room, and didn't realise he was next to me until he spoke. His hand stoked over my hair softly and I looked up at him questioningly. "Good morning" he said, his hand still on my head as he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips, before stepping away and heading for the coffee pot.
I lifted my fingers to my lips and blushed, feeling the phantom softness as I replay the kiss in my mind. "Oh, I think you broke her" Mav laughs at his brother, as he comes back with full mugs for each of us.
"What?" I croak out as they all look at me and smile, honestly one of them smiling at me, messes with my mind, but all three of their attention my way, I can't function.
"Whats the plan for today?" Trent fills in for me but I shake my head
"Whats for breakfast?" Beau adds and I scowl at him, they know what I mean, why are they are dragging it out of me.
"Whats going on with us?" Maverick says and I nod, blushing red again at his intense look. "We like you Indi, and... not as a sister, and we would like to spend more time with you, to show you how good we could be together, will you give us a chance, I know Mum and John have spoken to you, they spoke to us too and its all your choice. So... Would you take a chance on us, See if you could like us, like we like you?"
My gaze races between them, everything Mav just said sounded like it was all of them, "I can't choose between you and cause a rift in the family, I won't" I blurt out, scared that I was reading something in his words that wasn't there, he used We not I, did he mean all of them , as a package deal, but how could I ask that question.
"Then don't choose" Beau whispered from my side. "Take all of us" his fingers twisted through mine and he lifted my hand up to his lips, gently kissing the back, whilst holding my eye contact.
"But..." I glance at Trent and Mav who both smile and nod at me.
"I... How...I..." I stutter out and they all grin. "are you sure you are all okay with this, seeing each other... touch... kiss me" I finally rush out, my gaze searching each of their faces and seeing the acceptance there.
"Please take a chance with us, Please Indi, will you go out on a date with us?" Trent asks softly exaggerating a pout at me from across the table, making me smile without realising it.
My mind racing I though of Jazz and Jack, had they too taken a chance, what would happen with them now? Should I trust the boys? Is it more foolish to let the chance slip by?
I closed my eyes and sighed before looking back up and smiling at each of them as I said "Yes, I'll go out on a date with you"
"Oh baby girl, you'll do more than go out on a date with us" Mav promises me back.
