Declan retuned to the hotel room some hours later. Orion glanced over at his older brother as he walked towards the two males.
"How was it?" He asked him
"Not that bad, the press were mostly in the lobby, mum has talked to the staff and we can go out the back way if they are till there tomorrow" he told "mum said she can rent out a private area for all of us to stay, so we aren't stuck in here for the whole day"
"Thank god for that" Orion cheered "god I hate the press sometimes"
"I think a lot of people do" the older brother chuckled "I'm guessing you and Troy had fun"
Troy half smiled, by fun he means watching the news change cause it was the only thing descent on or Orion basically telling him every detail of who he follows on instagram "you could say that"
"I'm surprised, Onion isn't really a fun person" Declan laughed, Orion just rolled his eyes "I'm only joking"
"I get it, people think I'm all work and no play" he saids "unfortunately no one really knows the fun side of me, right Troy"
He winked "I'm not I have seen that side of you yet either Mr Sutherland"
Orion face went blank and Declan cracked up laughing
"Okay so I'm going to go to my room, if ya need me I'll be there" Declan Informed "later"
"We should go into our room too, if you know what I mean?" The CEO smirked
"I know that look anywhere, get everything set up and I will join you" Troy chuckled as he stood up
Annabelle was sitting into the corner of the privet room on her phone. Sometimes she felt left out when it comes to these types of things, well, being the only child in the room, she watched her Aunty and Uncle set up the tables up as she waited for her older cousins to arrive and their guest.
"Annie can you help me with something?" Adele asked, the teenager stood up and walked over to her "do you think this is set up properly?"
"I think it looks just right, you don't really need to fuss about how the table looks"she insured "I'm sure no one cares"
"I just want it to look nice for the boys, you know all the stuff that happened today, press everywhere, I swear I talked to like ten today trying to get them to leave, sometimes I hate that my children are famous, but I'm also proud of them, do you get what I'm saying?"
"I get it" Annabelle half lied, to all honestly she thinks her aunt might be still worked up about what happened last night with Declan's hook up."why don't I do the rest and you sit down, have a drink or something"
"You have grown up so much, my brother would be proud of you" Mrs Sutherland smiled as she took a seat, She sighed as she placed a water jug on the table, she didn't really like how her aunt brought up her parents, but it was her choice to stay in America when they lived overseas "the boys should be down here soon"
Just as Adele said that Declan, Orion and Troy walked into the room, Annabelle rushed over to them, finally.
"Took you long enough" she joked "I was thinking you guys would never come down"
"Well we had to take the long way around the press, unfortunately they are still here, it didn't help these too take forever to get ready" Declan confirmed as he shot a look over to the other males
"We do not" Orion rolled his eyes "it took you half an hour just to pick an outfit and an extra hour on top to have a shower"
"I do need to look good if the press gets sneaky pictures of me" he winked "Troy knows the plan, I think"
"If press gets into this room I will go to Orion" Troy confirmed "and hope for the best"
"Oh the press won't get in here" Adele added "this place has staff making sure no one gets in, even if the press does we know how to act and work our way around them, we've been doing this for years"
"But Troy hasn't" Orion groaned
"I told you we have a plan!" Declan exclaimed "we got it all undercover,"
"Honestly I like to think about the press as a game, literally if I feel board, I would make a random post and see where it ends up the next day" Annabelle giggled "quite fun, I didn't know so many celeb news pages were so interested in what I ate for breakfast, half my followers are Declan's fans anyway"
"Props seeing if they can find any fun facts about me" Declan half smiled "god I love my fans"
"I'm not even sure I'll last being in the spot light, I couldn't even handle the stuff that came out today but having all eyes on you every step you take is quite scary" Troy mumbled
"I don't even know what the press want with you, you're a family friend, maybe they just needed something to write about" Orion wondered
"Yea totally just family friend" the other brother snickered "I can literally hear the sounds coming out of your room-"
"Declan there is a child here" Adele shouted as she covered Annabelle's ears, Troy blushed in embarrassment, he didn't know Declan could hear everything "come sit down, everything is set up, have a glass of wine and relax"
It was a nice evening and Troy had nothing to worry about, it was actually good to spend more time with just the Sutherland family. He watched Orion and Declan talk about events, sometimes he wished he had a sibling, Troy was lucky enough to have a cousin close to his age and lived near by, before he moved of course, now that he thinks about it a lot of his friends are an only child, bar Jake who had an older sister and younger brother.
Jake always mentioned he wanted to have a big family, well, he liked the idea of having one, he did mention a while ago him and Gia were going to try for their first baby back when they first got married, but never mentioned anything else ever again. Troy just stared at his wine glass, like Jake he wanted a family, maybe not a big one, he liked the idea of having two kids so at least they could grow up with a brother or sister that he never got.
But agreeing to a permanent agreement with Orion basically shatters any dreams and wants he has for a family.
"Are you okay Troy?" Orion asked "you seem a bit out of it"
"Yes I'm okay, I was just thinking" he replied
"Thinking about what?" Troys phone started to ring and the CEO was cut off, he excused himself from the table and walked to a corner and answered the call
"Hey Emma!" He greeted, Troy was happy he could hear her voice, they haven't spoken all week
"Troy! Oh my gosh I'm so happy!" She cheered "I been wanting to tell you since it happened!"
"Wait what happened?" Troy asked, was she offered a high paying job? Did something happen with Noah?
"You'll never believe it" she paused "Noah finally did it, he proposed to me, Troy I'm engaged!"
