"Jingles, what the hell have I said about coming into my house without me knowing?" Nate says to the owner of the deep voice.

"Sorry, man. But your door was unlocked and it's Saturday, which means movie night, incase you forgot. " The man says.

His arm is pushed away from the gorgeous woman it was around, as she lets out a high pitched squeal and rushes over to pull me into a hug.

"OMG! You must be Adelaine! It's so great to meet you, Nate hasn't stop talking about you." She says, squeezing tighter with each word.

I feel like my bones are being crushed, but in a good way. This strange woman seems really nice, but I still don't know her and I'm afraid if this hug goes on any longer I might pass out from the lack of oxygen. Luckily, Nate sees my panicked look and steps in to grab and pull me to him.

"Jesus, CeeCee, let my girl take a breath would ya." He says.

My girl? Oh how I love hearing that.

"Oh don't you start with me Nathan O'Conner. How could you not tell me this gorgeous girl was going to be here tonight. I would've brought something to welcome her into our group. Now you made me look like a horrible person." She pouts to Nathan as the first man pulls her back into his side. Deciding to be brave, I step in this time to save Nate.

"You're just fine. Actually it was kind of a last minute thing, so it's not really Nate's fault." I say to the group.

"Yep, Angel and her siblings are going to be staying with me for a bit." He says and then gives a pointed look at the woman.

"Soooo Candace Smith, you can bring her a gift next time if you really want." He says mockingly to the girl, who just replies with 'fine' and snuggles in deeper to her man.

"Well, now that that's out of the way. Angel, this is Johnny McAdams, Keith Walker, Hayes Smith, and the fiery red head over there is his sister Candance. Or better known as Tank, Jingles, Mouse, and CeeCee." He says, pointing to each person.

I look at each person as Nate says their names.

Johnny is probably the biggest guy I've ever seen. I would say he's around 6'7 and covered in huge muscles. He has tan skin and black hair, and a bright smile with perfectly white teeth. The name 'Tank' most definitely fits him.

Keith, the man who's holding onto the woman, has a handsome, rugged look. With his blonde hair, blue eyes, and slight scruff, I would place him as a cowboy or mountain man. He's smaller than Nate but still over 6 feet.

The girl who's currently snuggled up to him, Candace, is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She has long strawberry blonde hair that is styled perfectly in soft curls. Her eyes are like a greyish blue and work perfectly with her splattering of freckles. To top it off, she has the most perfect body I've ever seen. She's shorter than me, probably around 5'7, but looks like a model with her slim but toned figure.

And finally, her brother Hayes. He's like the normal pretty boy. Blonde hair and the same eyes as his sister makes him look exactly like the boy next door. He's smaller than the other three men, around 6', so I'm guessing that's why they call him mouse. Like the others, he has a toned body, but not as muscular as his friends.

Gosh, what do they put in the water in this town. Ya, but my man is still the hottest one here. Wait, my man? Did I just say that?

My thoughts are interrupted when I hear Wyatt let out a yell behind them.

"No fricken way!"

Everyone whips their heads around to see the excited boy coming down the stairs.

"Tank, Mouse, and Jingles are standing right in front of me. Holy crap you guys have got to be shitting me. Lainey, pinch me, I must be dreaming." He says, holding his arm out to me after walking around the group. To his bewilderment, I do as he asked.

"Ow, Laine. What the hell? I wasn't actually serious." I just shrug and give him a glare.

"One, watch your language or go wash your mouth out with soap. Two, don't be rude and quit staring, these are Nathan's friends and we were just being introduced." That seems to do the trick, as he snaps out of it and extends his hand to a chuckling Keith.

"Hi! I'm Wyatt, but you can call me Wy. That's my big sis Lainey, and over there are my twin siblings Dylan and Katie." He says, still looking like he's meeting a group of superstars. Everyone lets out a small laugh before Keith replies to him.

"Well, hi there Wy. As I'm guessing you already know, I'm Keith. That's Johnny, Hayes, and this is my girl Candace." He says, shaking his hand before Wyatt does the same to the other three. I hear Nate let out a chuckle and turn to see Katie hiding behind his legs, as Dylan walks up to join Wyatt.

"Well hi there cutie, your name's Katie right?" Johnny asks, bending down in front of Wyatt's legs. Katie just nods her head but continues to hide behind him.

"Hey bug, why don't you show Johnny here your new tutu. I bet he is going to be so jealous he doesn't have one." I say, trying to get Katie comfortable.

It seems to do the trick when she suddenly pops out from behind Nate and all but tackles Johnny to show him. As soon as she's occupied, Candace comes and stands next to me. I watch her take in all the boys with my siblings: Nate and Johnny with Katie, and Hayes and Keith with my two brothers.

"Well, I'd never think I'd see the day where mean 'ol mister Tank is sitting with a little girl talking about her pink tutu." She says with a chuckle. I let out one of my own and turn so I'm facing her.

"I'm sorry we interrupted your movie night. Nate didn't tell me he already had plans. Once they get their excitement out, I'll corral the kids upstairs with me so y'all can have your night." I say to her. She just looks at me with a frown and shakes her head.

"Nonsense. One, your siblings seem amazing and we would all love to hang out with them. And two, your Nate's girl, which means you are now part of our little 'family.' We're crazy as hell but you've always got someone to back you up." She says, giving my arm a slight squeeze.

"Oh no, you must be mistaken. I'm not Nathan's girl. We barely just met. He's just being a good friend and helping me out." I explain to her.

Although I wish I was.

"Oh honey. You have so much to learn." She says, laughing and shaking her head.

"What?"

"Well, you see, every one of these damn boys are as stubborn as they come. They're what one might call 'alpha males' and they tend to get what ever the hell they want. Heck, Hayes, my brother, is as overprotective as they come and even he couldn't stop Keith from being with me. You honey, are in for a big awakening if you think Nate is just your friend." She says as she stares lovingly at her man.

"Ummm, I really don't think that's going to happen. We're just friends." I say, still slightly confused.

"Darlin' that man hasn't shut up about how great you are since you first walked into him. He is head over heels for you, but he's trying to be your friend so you'll trust him. Look, I don't know how you guys came to be here with him, but that man over there..." She points to where Nate is laughing at something Katie said

"... he's a really good guy. Trust me, you don't want to lose him just because you were too scared to try." She finishes, looking at me.

I look back at her and wonder if I just made a new friend. I've never had very many, but this group of people seem so wonderful. I also think about what she said.

Could Nate and I really be a thing? If he's as determined as she says, I'm guessing that will be a yes in the near future.

"Alright, enough of the heavy stuff. Why don't you go wrangle everyone up and get the movie started. I'll order the pizza while you do that." She says, and I walk off to go get everyone.

"Oh and Lainey, save me a seat next to you. I want to get to know you. It's been a heck of a long time since there's been anyone with some estrogen around here. And let me tell you, I am so sick of the excess testosterone." She says with a laugh and then we each go to do our respective jobs.

Looks like I made a new friend after all.
