Cambree ignored the glares of a few girls she passed by as she made her way to the vop lounge. She was used to most of the glares of jealousy by now. But before she had to fight the urge to take a little something from each girl. She had promised Jake she would behave while she was at his club. And she had just enough respect for the man to do as asked. As she climbed the stairs she could hear the guys enjoying the beautiful full moon night.

Cambree on the other hand never trusted a full moon. Nothing good ever happened to her on a full moon... Even if it is little things.

"There's our girl." G said when he saw the girl walk up the stairs. Cambree smiled and took a seat on the armrest of A.J.'s chair. The moment she sat down he placed a hand on his hat. She had gotten into the annoying habit of taking it when she sat next to him.

"You know grabbing it only makes me want it that much more." Cambree said and Jesse chuckled. "You have a sick mind Jesse boy."

Jesse shrugged. "Every one was thinking it. Even you. That's why you said it that way."

Lili came up the stairs and sat a drink down in front of A.J. with a smile on her face. "Girl in the blue dress says to come down when you're done messing with the kid."

Cambree looked over the railing and spotted the girl in the blue dress right away. She was sitting at the bar sipping on what looked like an apple martini. "Oh what I wouldn't give to swipe that fake diamond necklaces of her dainty little neck. Kid my ass."

"Not here Cambree." Jake warned.

A.J. chuckled and picked up his new drink. He tipped his hat at the girl in blue and took a drink. "Cam knows better. Don't you kid."

Cambree toon his hat from his head and placed it on her own then went to sit next to Jesse. "See if you get this back tonight."

Jesse smirked and shook his head. "You want to head to the loft Bree?"

Cambree nodded and the two headed out. Cambree taking A.J.'s hat as they did. A.J. didn't put up a fuss to get his hat back. He knew that she would bring it back eventually. It was like this almost every night she came around. She would sit next to him till Jesse got sick of her flirting and then he would take her away. For some reason the youngest member of the Takers didn't like how close Cambree and the other men had become. If A.J. wasn't around she was heavily flirting with John.

"So what's the deal this time?" Cambree asked as they got to the loft Jesse, A.J. and Jake shared. "I've been coming here for a year now and lately you have been acting like you don't want me around the other men."

Jesse rolled his eyes. He took A.J.'s hat off her head and placed it on the kitchen counter. "So now its a crime to want to spend time with my best friend alone."

Cambree shrugged. "This is more than that... Awe... they are planning a job and don't trust me yet."

Jesse took two bottles of water from the fridge and handed one to Cambree. "They wouldn't let you up in the vip if they didn't trust you... yeah ok they are planning a job. But you didn't get that from me."

Cambree sighed and pouted a bit. She really wished the boys would let her get more involved. The small time pickpocketing wasn't doing if for her any more. She wanted more. "I'm crashing on your couch."

Jesse rolled his eyes. "We have a spare room."

"I'm fine with the couch." Cambree almost snarled as she went to the couch and laid down. Jesse went to his room and slammed the door. Cambree's snippy attitude was getting on his nerves. And the last thing she needed to find out was that the guys had brought him into the next job, but refused to bring in Cambree.

Once Cambree knew that Jesse was asleep she got up, grabbed A.J.'s hat and went back down to the club. She spotted A.J. talking to the girl in blue and smirked. She walked up to him and placed his hat back on his head.

"I'm heading out. See ya around." Cambree said with an added wink.

A.J. nodded and gave her a side hug. "See you around Cam. Hey be careful on your way home."

Cambree nodded knowing he meant don't get cought pickpocketing. If only he knew she hadn't done that it months. It just didn't have the same thrill it once had. Cambree started on her way home when she heard a familiar car coming up beside her.

"Cam, You know you could have asked for a ride." John said opening the passenger side door for her. "Any one of us would have been willing."

Cambree rolled her eyes and shook her head. "No that's ok. I don't mind the walk."

John glared the girl down till she got in his car. "What's going on with you? You used to ask for rides home all the time. The last few months I haven't heard you ask once."

Cambree shrugged. "I don't live in the apartment any more... I um... sort of moved in with my brother. "

John was silent for a minute letting the fact sink in a bit more encase he lost his cool. "Why didn't you just tell us that?"

Cambree laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah good idea. Let's have my favorite criminals drop me off at my law biding brothers house. It's bad enough that he gives me the interrogation speal when I get home every night. Lets top it of with an expensive ride and hot guy driver with a taste of swiping. That would go over real well."

John chuckled and started to drive. "Hot driver huh."

Cambree sighed heavily. She was going to regret those words. She sat in silence for most of the drive daydreaming of swiping things from the people she spotted out her window. She smirked realizing how bad she had really become if she was daydreaming about swiping things. She really had become quite the little clepto. Cambree pulled herself out of her daydream and looked over at John with a confused look.

"Wait, why haven't you asked me where my brother lives?" She asked suspiciously.

John smirked. "Cause I'm not taking you to your brothers."

Cambree looked around realizing he was taking her the complete opposite way of her neighborhood. Soon John was driving up to a gate. he pushed a button in his car and the gate opened.

"Wow... wait! You brought me to your house?" Cambree said giving the older man a confused look.

"I'm hardly home except to may be sleep or change. Some one should get some use of this place." John said with a shrug. "Come on. I'll show you around and if you still want to go home I'll take you."

Cambree hesitated. Living with John could have its perks, but it could have huge negatives as well.

"Come on. I don't bite." John teased as he held out his hand. Cambree took his hand and let him lead her into his magnificent home. The place was something you'd see in a magazine. Not a place to live in, but a place to be admired.

"I could never stay here! I'd break things." Cambree demanded and John chuckled.

"Then I'll replace things. I have two spare bedroom that only A.J. or Gordon have slept in. They both have large closet." John added that last part with a huge smile.

Cambree looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Why are you doing this? And what am I supposed to tell my brother?"

John chuckled."We all have grown fond of the little clepto Jesse brought around. Any one of us would have been happy to let you stay with us if you had asked."

"And what do I tell my brother? " Cambree repeated.

"That's up to you." John replied walking up the stairs to the second floor. "There is one bedroom down here and another upstairs to your right. second door. I'll be in my room if you decide you want to go home."

Cambree sighed heavily and watched John leave. She was still a little confused by the whole situation. She looked around a little longer before deciding staying there wouldn't be so bad. She found the bedroom downstairs and smiled. it was beautiful. with big full windows out looking the pool in the back yard. Cambree giggled at the thought. She would have a pool in the back yard.

"So what do you think?" John asked from the doorway. Cambree smiled and turned to face him. She was surprised to see him in sweats and a t-shirt. She had only ever seen the man in suits.

"You have a beautiful place. " Cambree admitted. She could only dream of owning a place like that. let alone staying there. "I'm just waiting for the catch."

John chuckled. "No catch. Except for after a job I'd like to have the place to myself for twenty-four hours."

Cambree smirked a bit. Jesse had told her about John's after job celebration. She was more than willing to leave for the day. "Fine by me. Anything else?"

"If your brother comes around, make sure I'm not here. " John said with a smirk. "Tell him you have a new rich boyfriend that is a workaholic and hardly comed home."

Cambree thought about it for a moment. That could actually work. Her brothet knew she didn't like over bearing guys that hung to her every move. She liked her space. A workaholic boyfriend could be a very good excuse. One her brother would actually believe.

Cambree smiled and gave John a hug. "You have yourself a roommate... Now what is this crap about letting Jesse pull a job with you and not me?"

John pushed the girl away a to get a good look at her face. He was wondering if she knew more than she should or if she was playing with him. "He's not pulling a job with us. We don't even have a plan. "

"I'm going to have to call bullshit on that one buddy boy." Cambree said with a smirk. "You boys think your so clever. watching for me to come up the stairs at the club or having Jesse text me to see where I am. Just to make sure I'm no where close to where you boys are. I'm going to let this one slide. But I want in John. pickpocketing isn't doing it for me any more."

John chuckled. "I hear ya there. No promises, but I'll talk with the guys. Good luck convincing A.J. or Jesse that you should get involved. They're the only ones against it more than the rest of us."

Cambree pouted and looked out the window to her new amazing view. John walked up behind her and moved her long dark hair over one shoulder. The feeling sent chills up her spine.

"Welcome home Camy. I'll take you to get your things tomorrow while your brother is at work." John whispered in her ear. He walked away then called over his shoulder to her. "Get some sleep. You're a horrible lier when your tired."

XOXOXO

Cambree woke up the next morning to the sound of John grinding coffee. She groaned and got out of bed knowing she'd never get to sleep again with him awake.

"Sorry, if I woke you. haven't had some one living with me since I left home." John said with a smirk that told her he wasn't as sorry as he sounded.

"One day you may just find that damn thing busted." Cambree replied with sweet smile. "Hope you are making enough for two."

John handed her a cup. "Black with a splash of cold water right? "

Cambree took the cup amd gave him a suspicious look. "And you knew that how?"

"A.J. told me." John replied. "He's going for his morning swim if you'd like to go bug him."

Cambree looked at John like he was nuts. "What is with you boys being early risers. Bet you beat the sun up most mornings."

The smirk on John's face answered her question. "Crazy. that's what you all are. bum flipping crazy."

Cambree took her coffe into her new room and cuddled back into her bed. Now that the sun was up, she realized how masculine the room was she was really going to have to do some remodeling. She looked out at the pool and smirked. A.J. was slowly doing laps around the pool. Soon John was out at the pool side as well. Hw whistled and A.J. looked back at him. The youmger man took a deep breath and dived under the water coming back up at the edge right under John's feet. There was a few words exchanged then John toom off his shirt and sweats. he got in the pool and both boys got into racing stance. John counted to three and both boys toom off swimming as fast as they could down the pool and back.

Cambree decided bothering both shirtless boys would be a good idea. She walked up to the pools edge and dangled her bare feet in the water.

"Come on in." A.J. said with a smile. "The water is heated. May wake you up... and take care of your little bed hair problem. "

John chuckled along with A.J. as they looked the girl up anf down. Like she haf never seen the boys in anything else other than suits, they had never seen her in any thing other than fancy club dresses. Let alone first thing in the morning fresh out of bed. Cambree's usually straight bangs had a few sticking up and her long curly hair was in tangles.

"Ha and give you guys an excuse foe seeing me in my undies, I think not." Cambree said sticking her tongue out at them. "Get back to me when I invest in a bikini."

"Underwear is basically the same thing." John said rolling his eyes at her. "And underwear seem to cover more than most bikinis these days anyway."

Cambree burst out into laughter. "Now I know why Jesse trys his hardest to keep me away from the two of you. You both are dirty minded horny bastards."

A.J. and John didn't give her any protest. They could be just what she had said. Especially around the time they were about to pull a job.

"We promise not to tell Jesse if you get in here with us." A.J. added with a wink. Cambree thought about if for a second the stripped off the shirt John had let her borrow. The boys whistled at her and she glared over at them. "One more whistle or comment, and my clothes go back on and I go back inside."

Both guys smirked and Cambree took off the boxers she had also borrowed from John. She wad glad she had worn boy short underwear instead of a thong. She sat on the edge of the pool then slid off the edge into the water. It eas still a little on the cold side for being a heated pool.

"See. It's not so bad." A.J. said with a smirk.

Cambree just smirked back. "So how was miss blue dress?"

A.J. shrugged. "Lost interest not to long after you left. She kind of got pissy after I gave you a hug."

"Awe cock blocked by me not even trying. " Cambree said splashing water at him. "So what do you boys have planned for tonight?"

"We are going to have a meeting with Gordon and Jake while you pack up your things anf move them in." John said grabbing onto Cambree's arm bringing her closer to him. "Jesse will be here to help you bring things in and unpack. If our meeting goes smooth then we'll be back to help as well."

Cambree got free of John's grasp and moved closer to A.J. "So what exactly does A.J. stand for? I've been meaning to ask you that for a while now."

A.J. chuckled and looked over at John who was also smirking at the question. "Another Jake. When I joined the group John's first reaction to my name was great another Jake. Then Ghost said A.J. The name stuck. "

"And here I thought it was because you didn't like your real name." Cambree said splashing him. "Jake Derwood... yeah A.J Derwood sounds a hell of a lot better. But so does Ivy League."

"Do you hear this John." A.J. said grabbing Cambree around the waist. She squirmed around in his arms to get free but he had to good of a grip on her. "Our little Cambree thinks she's funny."

John smirked and shrugged his shoulders as he headed out of the pool. "Better dunk her then."

XOXOXO

Later that night when Cambree was all moved in and the guys had gone home, John ordered pizza and brought Cambree a beer. She smiled thinking it was a little out if place for John to eat delivery pizza and drink beer. He seemed more of the jack on the rocks and Chinese take out kind if man.

"You do know A.J. has the hots for you don't you?" John said handing Cambree a paper plate. "That's why he really came over this morning. To make sure you and I didn't do anything. "

Cambree took a slice of meat lovers pizza and placed it in het plate. She looked at John and shook her head. "Yeah right."

"I'm serious." John said taking a bite of pizza. "The first thing he asked me this morning was if I slept downstairs or up stairs. He didn't seem to believe me when he saw you in my clothes."

Cambree smirked at the thought of A.J. liking her. She'd be the first one to admit she was attracted to him. But she was attracted to all the men in a way. "Still think you're full of shit."

John shrugged. "Fine don't believe me. Just don't be surprised if he shows up here all the time. More than the usual once a week."

"Do I since a bit of jealousy in your voice Mr. Rahway? Cambree teased. "Is some one actually jealous of thinking I may like one of his friends..."

John smirked. "Keep dreaming Camy. you're almost twelve years years younger than me."

Cambree leaned in closer to him with a smirk on her face. "I'm calling bullshit. You wouldn't flirt if you weren't attracted. I've noticed that about you the past year. Unlike A.J. or Jesse who will flirt with any thing with boobs and a vagina."

John shook his head and took a drink of his beer. "Even if I was, nothing will ever come of it. And you will do better to remember that."

Cambree was taken back a bit by his remark. "Did you really just tell me to not get my hopes up?"

John took another drink from his beer and nodded. "A.J. is a better match for you. "

Csmbree rolled her eyes. "You sure know how to ruin a moment of friendly flirting don't you. If I was remotely interested in a relationship with any of you, I would have already."

John smirked. "Now its my turn to call bullshit. You haven't done it because big brother wouldn't approve. But when you finally decide you are a big girl and can make your own choices. Don't come looking for a relationship here."

Cambree stood up and started to walk away.

"Where are you going? " John asked putting his beer down and started to follow her.

"To my room." Cambree replied turning to face him. "I'm going to leave the room before any more moronic words come out of your mouth."

"I didn't mean to upset you." John said with a sigh. "Just I'm not a good guy. And Jesse mentioned something about you crushing on me. Just don't want you to believe there would ne more. "

Cambree rolled her eyes. "Jesse has a big mouth and I'm not some love sick teenager. And besides that was when I first saw you. Before I started to hang out with you guys. Now may I go to my room alone."

John nodded and let Cambree walk away this time. He knew he had taken the conversation to far. But he thought she should know he wouldn't mess around with her. Not only because he was no good for her. But he knew Jesse would be crushed if he did.
