Chapter 32 - Battle of the Bacon

'You were looking for us?' Dieter asked. Harper and River stopped in confusion when they saw the rabbits. Bailey strolled right in, which means she was used the rabbits and been here before which kinda got me thinking about how they knew each other and have they ever been anything more then just good friends.

'Yeah I want us to go have a movie night at mine.' Harper said.

'I'm up for it!' I said as I looked at the boys.

'Yeah sure!' Dieter smiled.

'Well I don't want to miss out but on one condition!' Callum stood up. We all looked at him expectantly. 'You gotta help me herd Las and Chicago back into the pen, the others are easy.' Callum bends down and picks up Vegas. He places him through the hatch and he runs off. Cali follows and Florida not far behind. We take our places and try put them back in. It takes a good 10 minutes but we manage to it done.

'How do you do that everyday Cal?' River pants.

'Eh? Usually it takes half an hour but TEAMWORK!' He puches the air.

'What are we watching?' I giggle.

'Dunno what do you wanna watch.'

'No romcoms.' Bailey says as she leaves.

'Nothing to do with the war, too depressing.' River followes.

'No troubled teenagers.' Callum glances at me and follows them out. I clench my jaw, that period of our life was so tough that we couldn't even watch movies close to what we went through. Dieter grips my hand and squeezes it. Then we follow them out with Freya. Callum said goodbye to his rabbits and gave them food. While we got in the two cars. It was me and Dieter in Callum car and Harper and River were in Bailey's car. We drove to our apartments, Freya was shattered, as soon as we got there she flopped out in the kitchen and slept. Harper's apartment had pink walls and white wooden floors. All her furniture was either pink or white.

'Popcorn!' She sang as she swayed into her kitchen. We all found comfy seats. I was cuddled up to Dieter under a blanket on the sofa. Harper sat next to us. Callum and Bailey were on the smaller sofa and River was curled up in an armchair. We decided on a comedy.

'Anyone want any drinks.' I offered.

'Beer.' Callum said.

'Make that two babe.' Dieter added.

'Just a water, thanks.' Bailey scratched

her nose.

'You're a bartender right? Surprise me!' Harper winked.

'Wait! Ooo! Yeah me too!' Bailey clapped her hands together.

'Uhh...I'll help you.' River said as he got up.

He pulled four beers out the fridge.

'You ok?' I asked as he looked a little flustered.

'We did it.' He said quietly as he placed the bottles on the counter.

'What you mean.' I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.

'Me and Harper, we...y'know...did IT.' He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

'Oh. Oh? Oh!' I giggled. 'Good for you!' He gave me a half smile.

'You don't regret it do you.' I pulled the pink shaker out from the cupboard.

'No it's not that. She turned up to my house tears streaming down her face.' I stopped mixing drinks and gave him a worried look 'before I could ask anything she just grabbed my shirt and cried on my chest, I hugged her and sat her down on my bed, for no other reason but to comfort her I swear. I got her some water and she told me some pretty disturbing shit. I ended up telling her about mama, who was away. We ended up laying on the bed together just hugging. Then she looked at me and kissed me, I obviously didn't mind and then it went...further.' We were whispering so they didn't hear.

'What's the problem?' I asked as I made a mental note to talk to Harper.

'I just can't help feel like I took her when she was...vulnerable I guess. I feel guilty.' He rubbed his face with his hand.

'But she kissed you?' I frowned.

'Yeah I know. Ugh...I always over think things.' He grumbled. 'It was nice to get that out though, thank you.' He picked the bottles up.

'No problem.' I smiled. I took the tropical cocktails to Harper and Bailey which they enjoyed. The rest of us had a beer. When the film finished, Harper said she had two guest rooms, one with a double bed and one with a single bed. Me and Dieter got the double bed, Freya as well. Bailey got the other spare room and River and Callum were on the sofas, Harper in her own bed. We were all settled down. Harper gave me some pyjamas which were white silk shorts with lacing round the edge, they were very short and hardly covered half of my butt. There was a matching silk top that was cropped and had more lace on the low cut neckline. Dieter approved of the set. Although he was just in his underwear.

'You should borrow Harper's clothes more often.' He said as I got into bed, his voice was low and husky. I giggled and snuggled up to him. He fiddled with the strap on the top.

'Good night, Gummie.' I looked at him.

'Night night.' He said before kissing me then closing his eyes. I did the same and soon fell asleep. We woke up to some crashing and laughing from the kitchen. We stumbled tiredly into the next room.

'Afternoon, lovebirds.' Bailey looked at us. Everyone was in their pyjamas. Harper was doing yoga, in her pyjamas, Bailey was cooking in the kitchen and River and Callum were what looked like fighting, using chop sticks as swords.

'What in the world.' Dieter said while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

'They're fighting over the last bacon slice.' Harper explained while lunging.

'F THIS!' Callum yelled as he went to kick River in the ribs. He just dodged it.

'Me and Arabelle are black belts in many martial arts.' He announced. Dieter looked at me, eyebrows raised. I just shrugged and headed to the kitchen. When I looked over at the 'fight' Callum was starting to go siko mode. Full on ninja on River, who was only just dodging or blocking the attacks.

'Thats so funny seeing Callum attacking River.' Bailey laughed. Callum looked like a elf next to River. He was towering over Callum, yet he was getting all the right attacks in. I took the last bacon slice and walked over to them. I caught Callum's fist in mid punch.

'Freya!' I called. She happily strolled to me. I handed the bacon to her and she quickly gobbled it up before scampering off again. I strutted off and they stared at me open mouthed. Dieter was laughing.

'Harper? Wheres the cereal?' I shouted to her.

'First cupboard!' She yelled back, still doing yoga.

I got two bowls and poured me and Dieter some cereal. We were talking and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Harper ran to it.

'Hello?' She said as she opened the door.

'I have a package for your neighbour who is out, can I leave it with you?' He says. pointing to my apartment.

'Ooo! That's me thank you.' I said as I whisked out of the door at speed. I looked at the huge box on the floor.
