It was an awkward meal....awkward was a very meagre word compared to what it actually was. My mum was openly flirting with the twins, who were sitting across from her. Here I was sitting in between them, in bed, in hospital.

It wasn't the particular setting I imagined if the thought of the twins meeting my mother had ever crossed my mind. Which it hadn't. Until now that is.

I looked over at my Mum, who was unabashedly leaning over in her seat giving the twins an open view of her breasts. I turned to the twins who seemed like they would rather take on a pack of rabid dogs then deal with my openly horny and flirtatious mother.

I made a dramatic show of yawning loudly, "I'm very tired and I'd really like to get some sleep" I stated, sending my Mum a small smile.

"Of course honey, perhaps these nice boys would show me the way to the cafeteria" she said, grinning. This was getting more frustrating by the second.

"Of course ma'am" Owen replied, sending a smile, which seemed more like a grimace, her way.

Owen got up, so did my Mum. She then turned to Seth,

"You should come along as well....my daughter needs some sleep,"

Seth merely chuckled, "don't worry ma'am I have no intention of doing anything other than letting her do exactly that"

"Oh...well in that case I'll be back soon," not even attempting to hide the disappointment on her face.

"Move over" Seth said, attempting to push me aside. I wiggled as far as I could go, he then slid in beside me, wrapping an arm around my torso, being very careful not to disturb any of the monitors.

I snuggled closer to him and drifted off the sleep.

*&*

It had been almost forty eight hours since my accident. I had obviously overstayed my welcome as the nurses were almost in a hurry to discharge me. I was currently in a wheelchair, in the hallway by the nurses station waiting to be taken away.

The twins were over talking to some nurses when my mother came over to me.

"Oh darling you've found yourself quite a catch there with those twins, they've offered to pay your hospital bill," my Mum whispered, she was grinning like she won the lottery. Noticing my lack of response she continued,

" Which one have you claimed, because I want one"

"Well unfortunately mother I've had sex with both of them, so you kind of need to back off" I stated abruptly, "and besides their too young for you." I pushed myself over to the twins.

"Ready to go" Owen asked,

"You have no idea" I replied.

My mother came over, she had recovered from my statement obviously, still a little sour perhaps. "Where are you planning on staying?"

Before I could reply Seth answered,

"We're taking her back to our home until she fully recovers, the academy knows she's taking a leave of absence so she's fine"

"Can you even fail sex school" I chuckled,

"Who knows, only one way to find out" Owen said smiling.

*&*

It had never registered that I was being taken to their house, nor did it ever occur to me that I had never been there.

We reached steel gates, which with the click of a button opened automatically. The car then had to drive down a rather long and winding driveway, which was surrounded by bushes and trees. The same bushes and trees that hid the house from view.

It took a full minute before we rounded the corner at the end of the driveway, and suddenly the house was in plain view.

House....house was the wrong word. A mansion maybe. This place looked so large I wouldn't be surprised if it had its own zip code.

"Don't gape...this is our family home" Seth said, turning to me.

The sunset reflected off the fountain in front of the home. The wide stairs leading from the driveway to massive glass doors. The entire house was white, and so modern and sleek. It complimented the twins personalities.

Owen came around to open my door, while Seth took the wheelchair out of the trunk. But Owen just continued to carry me up the stairs and into the house. The housekeeper I'm guessing, an elderly Hispanic lady welcome the boys home, but seemed very surprised to see me.

"Call Winston to get the bags out of the car please Valentina" Owen asked, continuing through the maze that was their home.

"Do your parents live here?" I asked, my voice felt so meek compared to the large walls and high ceilings of their house, I felt almost like a mouse.

"No, although they have their own home on this land, not as large as this, but big enough" Owen replied.

He finally reached another large set of black doors, which he pushed open. It revealed a large room, almost as big as a basketball court, with two enormous beds on either side, with bedside tables.

To my right was a sunken sitting space, sleek and spacious with cozy couches, and a TV. Just past that were two enormous doors leading into another room perhaps.

"This is your bedroom?" I asked, it was a house in itself. The twins chuckled,

"Yep" Seth answered, both twins set about the room.

Winston followed us in and walked over to the enormous doors, they slid open automatically.

'Sensor doors' I thought to myself, 'this was so cool.'

The doors revealed a massive room, filled with clothes. It was their walk in wardrobe and it was something out of a magazine. Automatic racks, and shelves and drawers full of clothes and accessories.

"I cannot believe it, this is amazing," amazing wasn't the least of it. It was gorgeous, magnificent, unbelievable.

"Do you guys have a bathroom as well in here?" I said mockingly,

"Yeah down that way" Owen answered pointing down to my left.

Of course they did, how could I be so stupid. To my surprise they also had a sturdy looking desk, filing cabinets, and three bookshelves filled with books.

"This is neat, too much excitement I think for someone who's just had a concussion.....are we sure I'm not hallucinating?" I joked, although some truth rang in my words.

"Well our room is your room" Seth said with a smile, "I'm going to have a shower.....care to join me?"

A shower sounded perfect. "Yes" I replied.

*&*

Their bathroom was amazing, granted I wasn't surprised. Two adjoining sinks on one side of the room, a luxurious looking spa bath on the other and, toward the back of the bathroom, a wall split in two with just enough space to create an open entry into the area.

"What's behind those walls?" I asked, turning to Seth.

"The showers....we needed two so our interior designer decided the best way to utilise space was having a shower on either side...one behind the left wall and one behind the right; it's all open which means a lot more space to do other activities" he chuckled, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I laughed, I walked towards the back of the room, and peeked around the wall. Much to my surprise there were shower jets and a bunch of knobs around both walls, along with tiled benches....I had no idea why you'd need to sit in a shower but they looked stylish.

"Did you except something else" Seth said laughing at my curiosity.

"I don't really know" I smiled, attempting to hide my embarrassment.

Seth took off the towel wrapped around his waist and set it on the hook, he disappeared behind the right wall to the shower. I quickly took off my bath robe but paused, was he expecting me to use the other one or join him.

I didn't wait long to make a decision as he said, "you coming?"

I walked around to him, and stopped mid track. The water dripped down his muscled torso, his biceps slightly tensed as he worked a lather into his hair.

"Come join me babe," I complied, walking the rest of the way to him, I took the loofah off the shelf and began to wash his back.

"I love you" I mumbled absentmindedly,

He turned to me, confusion on his face. I took a step back startled.

Seth's POV

I washed the shampoo from my hair, it was getting pretty long now. Maybe it was time for a haircut.

I felt Scarlett's presence behind me, she seemed like she didn't know what to do, I wasn't sure why she paused.

Without looking back I said, "come join me babe," I heard her footsteps as she walked over to me.

I washed the rest of the soap from my hair and eyes as she started to scrub my back with the loofah.

I had hardly heard her next words over the sound of the water, "I love you" she whispered.

I turned quickly, confused....startled I wasn't sure. She projected the same look.....it seemed like she hadn't even realised she had said those words.

There was a moment of tension. I didn't know how to react.

She had meant it, she had said it absentmindedly. How did I feel? I knew I was lustful toward her, and we had a special connection. But love?

I hadn't spoken with Owen about this before, how we felt about her. Possessive was the first word that came to mind, protective as well.

But loving her didn't seem like such an impossible thing, maybe it was love....
