Chapter 13

~Tia~

The three of us get settled in the room, ordering some room service. This penthouse is pretty

ridiculous, but then again, it isn't like I'd have anything to compare it to. There are three bedrooms

in the penthouse, but the master is crazy. It has a bigger-than-usual king-sized bed along with a

huge screen television on the wall. The bathroom has a jacuzzi tub big enough to fit five people,

and the shower isn't too different. It is equipped with two rain showerheads on each end and

smaller spouts around the walls.k

I wake up to a shrill ring. It is continuous and driving me crazy. When it stops, I snuggle back in and

try to summon sleep again. The ring starts again, making me grate my teeth. It seems as if the twins

are oblivious to the sound, but I can't take it. I'm sandwiched between Landon and Lincoln, our legs

intertwined. I try to twitch my legs, but I can't move them. I keep trying to twist and turn, but the

boys weigh a ton. I guess that's all thanks to the solid muscle they have.

The ringing stops, and I breathe deeply. I decide to stop moving and try to get settled again. Before

too long, the ringing starts back up, making me want to scream. “Boys...."” No one moves an inch.

"Boys..." I say a bit louder, but nothing changes. “ BOYS!" I swear if there were a freight train, it

would be able to come into the room and claim us all. They are deaf to the world, which is crazy. I

keep moving around, and I find that I can move my free arm. I send up a quick apology before

pulling my arm forward and quickly letting it shoot back. My elbow makes contact with skin; the

sparks are flying.

“F**k!” The body behind me starts to move and groans. I remain still, hoping this was enough to get

them moving. “What's that noise?” Landon is grumbling and groaning. He sits up and feels behind

him on the nightstand. I hear a beep, and the ringing stops. “Hello?” I take this opportunity to

wiggle free from the two and head to the bathroom.

While doing my business, I realize that I forgot my backpack at my place and I really need to take

care of an assignment. My laptop is in the backpack, and I forgot it. I open the bathroom door to

head out, and I notice the boys are up and practically dressed. “Everything okay?" Lincoln walks up

to me, placing his shirt on his body. He kisses my forehead.

"We just got a call from home. There is some issue that we need to go help with.”

“Is everything okay?”

“We aren't sure. We need to check. You can stay here and we will be back later.” I head to my bag to

get some clothes out.

“Can you take me by my place on your way back? I forgot my backpack. I can stay at my place and

do some work while i wait for you two or I can just drive back here on my own.” Lincoln and Landon

look at each other and nod. I hurry and get dressed so we can go.
