Walking up to the front porch of the Anderson Estate, Trinity Brooks was bouncing on the balls of her feet, dragging her heavy suitcase behind her. After living in Paris for six years to work on her fashion career she was finally coming back home to see her good friend Mika Anderson. On the other hand, Iris Clay was lagging behind, still wrapped in her blanket from the plane, with a small backpack on her back. Iris was part of their group six years ago, too. She left for South Korea a little while after Trinity to pursue her interest in Tae Kwon Do. Sadly her training never included how to beat jet lag.
"Come on Iris! How are you not excited to see Mika?!" Trinity screech, throwing her free hand into the air dramatically. How she had so much energy after just getting off a plane, Iris would never know.
She rolled her eyes from under her blanket, "Oh, trust me, I'm fucking ecstatic, but this jet lag is kicking my ass."
"Why do you swear so much?"
"Because I can."
Reaching the front door she knocked frantically. With it being almost eleven at night, a tired looking Mika opened the door trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes. She was attacked in a giant bear hug within seconds. "Mika! Your two favorite people are finally back!" Trinity practically yelled in her face.
Mika stared at them in disbelief, "Trinity! Iris! W-when did you get back?"
Iris gave her a small wave from under the confines of her blanket and let Trinity handle the talking. "My plane landed about an hour ago, but I waited at the airport for Iris to land so we could surprise you together. Surprise!" She explained eagerly.
"I tried to convince her to wait until tomorrow, but you know how she is," Iris mumbled, giving Mika an apologetic look. She nodded leading them through the door, only to be stopped because there were five men in sleepwear standing in the foyer. They all looked tired, some more annoyed the others. Iris glanced at Mika, raising an eyebrow, waiting for an explanation. However, Trinity had another idea.
She looked towards Mika and smirked, "Mika, darling, are you holding these handsome boys captive?" They just looked at her irritated.
Iris sighed, "I'm too tired for this shit." She walked up to Mika and gave her a lazy hug. "I'm going to find a bed and sleep for a week." She walked up the stairs and disappeared into the hallway.
One of the boys spoke up, one with reddish-orange hair, looking confused "Shouldn't we show her to a room?"
Just as Mika was about to answer him, Trinity jumped in, "Don't worry handsome, our dear Iris has had a talent for finding places to sleep since high school, but I must say you have excellent manners." The man looked at her stunned as she turned to Mika, "Now do you mind introducing me to these good-looking specimen here."
"You are as much of a charmer as you were in high school, Trinity," Mika recalled, laughing.
"Well, don't tell them that. How will my charm work on them then?" She jokingly asked.
Mika chuckled and went to introduce the boys, "Well, these five are practically my roommates. Their brothers and they needed a place to stay. This place is so big, I needed someone to share it with." Trinity nodded Mika had always thrived off of people. She would have wilted like a flower in the manor by herself.
"This one is Damien, he's the youngest," She pointed to the one with orange hair. He was skinnier than the rest and looked relatively shy. Damien gave her a small smile.
"He's Mathew the next youngest," This one had black hair and was the shortest of them all. He waved excitedly at her. It would have been easy to mistake him as the youngest, if Mika had not pointed it out.
"This is Sam," Sam was slightly taller than Matthew and had brown messy hair. His arms were crossed over his chest, Trinity could tell right away that he had a short temper.
"He's Erik," He was the one that had spoken up earlier. His hair hung over his right eye in a way that suggested that he could entice his way into anyone's pants. The smirk he gave her was a good indicator, as well. Erik and the eldest one, that had yet to be introduced, were the same height.
"Last ones James, he's the oldest." This one looked smart, with his black hair and glasses, yet he still had that sexy vibe to him. He gave her a polite nod of acknowledgment. "Um.." Mika paused, and blushed trying to get some more information out, "James is my... um... b-boyfriend."
Trinity gave a low whistle, "Wow, good choice!" She looked him up and down,"I'll back off him. Don't worry, I can get my flirt fix from these four." Looking around the room for a moment, she found a grandfather clock that was up against the wall. The time, close to midnight. "Looks like it's time for bed. Is my old room still free?" she questioned Mika.
"Yeah... I'll see you in the morning," she confirmed, smiling, "It's nice to have you two back. Even if Iris passed out as soon as she got here." Trinity snickered, gave Mika another hug, and walked up the stairs to go to her room.
Already knowing what was coming, Mika answered the unasked questions, "They're friends from highschool. I didn't know when they were coming back. They used to live here with my grandfather." Giving them all a glare she stated, "Other questions can wait until morning. I'm tired." Mumbled of agreement were heard as the all headed back to bed.
