CHAPTER TEN

~ SUNDAY ~

Sunday was eventful. The boys found out Pogue was released the day before and flipped out.

"How could you want to spend a day with a girl instead of me?!" Reid yelled, outraged. "Me? I'm a blessing! Everyone wants to spend the day with me."
"Sure they do, Blondie." Ally sniggered. The dark haired girl was sat cross-legged on the couch, watching the situation in front of her with amusement. Reid turned on Ally with a glare.

"Stay out of this, Princess. I'm mad at you as well."

"What did I do?" Ally asked sweetly, looking up at Reid with the look of pure innocence.

"Don't give me that look. You know what you did. You chose Pogo Stick when you could've had, all this." Reid chuckled, sliding his hands down his body whilst winking at the girl. Pogue smacked Reid on the back of the head but showed he wasn't angry by laughing at Reid's antics.

"I'm happy for you, man. Just don't make out with my little sister in front of me." Caleb stated, clapping Pogue on the back. Tyler let out a nod of agreement.

"I think it goes without saying that if you mess up, we'll hurt you, gently." Tyler threatened.

"Short Stuff is more than capable of taking care of herself." Pogue teased.

"How do you hurt someone gently and can you teach me? " Ally asked the youngest member of the Covenant, completely ignoring Pogue's comment.

"I won't teach you pain but I can show you pleasure." Reid chuckled, shooting a wink Ally's way.

Both Caleb and Tyler, who were closest to Reid, smacked him on the back of the head.

"Ow! What the fuck was that for?"

"That's my girl now, dimwit." Pogue chuckled, his voice not holding any threat or seriousness. The other three Sons turned to look at each other with frightened looks on their faces.

"Who are you, and what have you done with Pogue?" Caleb asked.

"What do you mean?"

"We mean that, had someone said something like that to Kate, you would've practically killed them." Reid explained, bluntly.

"I trust Short Stuff. I know she'd never look at any other guy. I didn't trust Kate."

"I trust you too, Pogo." Ally smiled, walking over to sit on Pogue's lap. Resting her head on his chest, she smiled as she watched her boys interact with each other. This was how life was supposed to be. This was where she belonged. This was home.

"Sarah, do we really need all these clothes?" Ally groaned under the weight of the shopping bags.

"Well, I suggested we bring the boys along for muscle but your exact words were 'I am a strong, independent woman who can do it herself.' Did you, or did you not, say that?" Sarah taunted, shooting her best friend with a pointed look.

"I said it and I meant it." Ally sassed, bouncing off with shopping bags surrounding her.

The Sons and Sarah had promised Ally that they would take her to Nicky's next Friday and finally show her what the fuss was all about. Ally couldn't wait to spend a fun night with her family, pretending to just be normal teenagers. Unfortunately, Sarah had insisted that Ally need a new outfit (despite her huge wardrobe full) to mark the occasion and it had ended up with ten new outfits, two bathing suits, five new dresses and seven pairs of shoes. And that was just Ally's bags.

Sarah's were worse. At least, they were after Sarah had thrown a fit because Ally said she'd pay for anything and then Ally threatened to Use on Sarah if she refused.

"If I die under the weight of these things, my brothers and Pogue will kill you." Ally glared.

"Reid won't?" Sarah questioned.

"I don't think you want to know what Reid would do." Ally giggled.

"Hey A, I'm just going to run in this shop. I warn you that it's high heels, so you can stay here if you want."

"Thank you! That's the nicest thing you've done for me all day."

Sarah rushed into the shop, leaving her bags on the floor by Ally, and disappeared into the aisles of shoes. Chuckling to herself, Ally pulled out her phone to see she had a message from every one of the boys.

POGO: Miss you, Trouble. Can't wait to see you model some of those clothes for me. X

ALLY: Wait until you see the underwear x

POGO: You're killing me, babe. X

Ally smiled to herself before opening Tyler's message.

BABY BOY: You might want to hurry up, Reid looks like he's going to have an aneurysm. Love ya, little sis x

ALLY: Love you too, 'little' bro x

Ally always thought of Tyler like a brother and despite him being younger than her, he called her his little sister due to his height. Caleb's message was a tad more serious.

GOLDEN BRO: Please make sure Sarah doesn't go overboard, there's no more room in her drawer here for her clothes. P.S. Stay safe X

ALLY: Too late for that, 'Leb, she's too far gone x

Finally, Ally opened Reid's message. She had saved his for last because she knew it'd be the worst

BLONDIE: Can't wait to see you in some sexy underwear later, Princess. Better show me before Pogo Stick or else X

ALLY: You wish x

BLONDIE: You know what they say, wishes do come true X

Ally was so busy replying to her messages that she hadn't noticed one of the bags slip off her hand until it had fallen on the floor and two pairs of pumps escaped from the bag.

"For fucks sake." Ally groaned, placing the other bags on the floor to try and shove the shoes back in the overflowing bag.

"Here, let me help." A deep voice said, a hand picked up a shoe and held it out to the girl.

Ally glanced up to see a guy, around her age, squatting down to help Ally pick her up mess. His blue eyes gazed down at Ally and she could see what looked like curiosity in his eyes.

"Thank you so much-" Ally trailed off, not knowing the guy's name.

"Chase. My name's Chase."
