Did I forget to mention?

"A bet?" Luke echoed my words. I slowly nodded as I began to walk towards him. They're like a herd of deer. No sudden movements.

Finally we were chest to chest.

"A bet"

you could hear a pin drop. It looked like the start of a Michael Jackson music video. All the guys stood at their full height, trying to look intimidating and unfazed by my proposition but their eyes danced with curiosity.

"We get to go out shopping and get to embrace the outside world without the bodyguards if Bonnie beats you at a game of Call of Duty."

As soon as the words left my mouth they were doubled over in laughter. The twins supporting each other, Zach slapping his knee, even Luke let out a chuckle or two. Bonnie grabbed my elbow and yanked me back.

"If Bonnie does what now?" By now her nails were digging into my forearms and she was shaking me with eyes as big as Nicki Minaj's ass.

"Not the best choice Lex, i'm surprised i've never known you make a bet you couldn't possibly win yet here we are." Zach's smug voice ringing through my ear made me smirk. If only he knew.

"Here" I tried to hand Bonnie the controller....tried.

"Wait you were serious?"

Her jaw alack in disbelief. I curtly nodded my head with my lips pressed tightly in a straight line. I'm starting to get sick of people questioning me.

"Oh hell no." She shifted her weight onto one hip, arms crossed, head up in the other direction. You'd swear I just asked her to give up her shoes.

"It wasn't a question. Sit." I forced the controller into her hand and pointed to the floor. Grumbling she complied.

"Jesus Aaron she must be an animal in bed if you put up with this all the time." He winked at me as a squeal came from behind me. Followed by the belt of a pillow. I quickly moved out of range.

"So what do you say boys? Lets get this game started." They all looked at each other and shrugged. Dispersed around the room I couldn't wait to wipe that cocky look off their smug faces.

As they were setting up I stood up 'to get a drink' when in fact I wandered into the kitchen, poured a glass of water and left it on the side. When I reentered the room the game had started. It was time, they were still close together.

I approached the couch, standing directly behind Luke who was engrossed in the game as well as everyone else. Slowly I draped my arms around his neck. Letting them hang on his chest as I began drawing patterns. I noticed a change in his breathing pattern and smiled internally. It's working.

His focus was now shifting. He was finding it difficult to concentrate on the game. Suddenly his movements were slower. He wasn't advancing as quickly. Bonnie was catching up.

I need to kick it up a notch. So I ever so gently bury my head in his neck. Allowing my breath to tickle the sensitive skin. He cleared his throat "stop" his voice straining, he's struggling to control himself. It's quite amusing. I can reduce this 6ft brick wall to a groaning mess with a few touches.

My eyes flickered to screen and I saw Bonnie run up behind him. It was now or never. So quickly I pressed my lips to his neck. I began to softly bite and tug at the skin. His head tilted to the side and I new that was it. He was like putty in my hands.

A high pitch screech followed by a chorus of protests alerted me to the fact we had won. With one final kiss I detached myself from Luke and ran over to Bonnie. We were jumping up and down in a "hardcore-fangirl-and-my-fav-just-hugged-me" manor. Who needs concert tickets when you have this victory?

"You cheated" I expected that from the twins but not Luke. I stopped jumping and slowly turned around. Jaw clenched and eyes screaming run

"what?"

Giving him a chance to save himself but he didn't take the lifeline.

"You. Cheated."

His eyes locked with mind, that daring look in my eye. Pushing me to do something so I did. I took a step towards him

"I. Do. Not. Cheat."

Mirroring my actions Luke also took a giant step forward, our arms now touching. Leaning down and in a low tone "cheater" fell out of his mouth.

I'm used to being called a lot of things but I am NOT a cheater.

"Actually the rules were the rules of the game and it was to be you v Bonnie. You played Bonnie and she won. There were no other rules, no other ways to cheat. So therefore I didn't cheat and you owe me an apology."

"Dude she has a point." Everyone turned to glare at hulk. He just shrugged. He proceeded to justify his answer

"What she's scary"

While they were distracted I grabbed Bonnie's arm and my keys off the table. I dragged her behind me as I legged it out the door.

"Great game boys, what a shame." I managed to finished before the door shut.

I knew there was no way they'd willingly let us go. I saw an opportunity and I took it. I jumped into the driver seat, as the car doors slammed we both took a breather. I felt Bonnie staring at me, when we made eye contact that was it. The car was filled with laughter as the tears rolled down my cheeks and my stomach hurt. We eventually got a grip, I adjusted the rearview mirror so I could wipe my eyes and make sure I wasn't all red. Instead I saw the front door wide open and the boys running towards us.

I screamed and slammed on the accelerator. Bonnie was going to kill me but hey at least I got us out of there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The journey wasn't that long. I followed Bonnie's directions to a T. Seeing as Christmas is so close most stores would be sold out or packed and well you know ew, people. She knew exactly where to go......so she says.

I pulled up in front of this giant warehouse. If this was a movie, this is where we die because we found the serial killers hideout.

"Trust me." I guess she noticed my apprehension.

"Trust me." I mocked in a high pitched girly voice which earned me a slap on the arm.

I walked a safe distance behind her, just waiting for something to pop up.

"Will you open the door please?" I just stared at her, eyes narrowed and hands on my hip.

"Please i'm not strong enough" I laughed,

"as if, you're a fricking werewolf. Nice try though."

I refused to move.

"Fiiinnnee. I just don't wanna get diiirrrtttyyy" and there we go, the real reason.

"Bon, you know you're such a girl sometimes" I muttered as I slid the warehouse door open. It was quite heavy and dusty but I wanted to know what was inside.

It was dark and I couldn't make anything out. Bonnie disappeared and I am still as confused as ever. I heard a low hum and suddenly the entire warehouse was illuminated.

It was much larger than I expected. It was like a workshop. All the tools were hanging ln the walls, the floor full of various bikes, cars and parts.

"I thought we were going shopping." I turned towards Bonnie who was looking at me intently. Like she was judging my reaction.

"You know you look like a kid at Christmas." I went bright red and laughed. The heart wants what the heart wants.

"But well okay hear me out" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"I know it's Christmas and you want to buy everyone a present but you're just getting your feet. You're so stubborn and won't take money from us so I thought of this. I've seen your baby. I know what you can do with a machine. So I thought of here, these are all the bikes, cars, anything mechanical that the boys have owned and broken through the years. Also some things they just couldn't part with. Anyway my point is for Christmas that you could fix these, do them up and give them to them....better than new, an original."

I was gobsmacked. I honestly had no idea what to say. Then everything came crashing down. "Bonnie this is such an amazing idea but realistically I don't have the time, Christmas is in two days."

She smiled at me. "I have that covered. I've been shopping for days.....online shopping. All the gifts will be from the two of us then for their birthdays we'll give them each their bike all done up." She paused then rambled

"but uh like you know you don't have to, it was uh just a suggestion. It was stupi-"

"Bonnie stop. I can't believe you thought of all of this. You're so organised. I just- wow. Thank you."

".......is that a yes?" I smiled and nodded. She crushed me in a hug. "And I promise i'll help." Oh this should be interesting. Bonnie getting covered in motor oil and under a car? I'll believe it when I see it.

"Come on we have to go or else we'll be late." Just when I think i've understood everything she goes and confuses me again.

"We have to go and collect all the presents I ordered" I sense there was something she wasn't telling me but never the less I went with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7 hours later. 7 full hours later. 7 bloody hours stuck in my car with her.

I knew she wasn't telling me something. Yeah going to collect the presents, that's fine but she forgot to mention how far away they were!

We finally arrived and with great difficulty shoved everything into the car. I was hungry, tired and my phone had died I couldn't give two shits at this point. We stopped off at a small diner. Our waitress was lovely and gave us a free piece of pie. I swear she was mrs. Claus.

We're currently on our 7 hour trip home. I will never let her forget this. It's dark, cold and we have no means of communication. The sky looks like it's about to brew up a storm. My gut is telling me this will not be smooth sailing.

An hour passed and we seemed to be the only ones on the road. The only ones crazy enough to be out on a night like tonight. The roads soon became deadly, covered in a layer of ice.

The car started to slow down. It began to chug and I knew what was happening. I pulled into the side of the road. It then completely cut out. It just gave up.

I turned the key, just wishing it was a shortage in the engine and would work again. I had no such luck. I slammed my hands on the steering wheel. This is just fucking fantastic.

I dropped my head onto the steering wheel. "We're stranded"
