My Brothers Best Friend

*Piper*

The whole 'moving thing' came as quite a surprise. Our new house looked fantastic, but I would miss the old apartment anyway. I took the big roll of tape from my desk and closed the box with all kinds of small things. I had already packed five boxes and three suitcases. My whole room was empty. All the posters were off the wall, the photos were gone and my desk was completely empty. It looked pretty pathetic. My bed and my desk were picked up by the moving crew in ten minutes.

"Piper? Are you almost done packing?" I heard Jason yell. I checked everything again, but couldn't find anything.

"I think I'm done." I shouted back. Jasper and Adam entered the room and each took a few boxes. I myself rolled my suitcases out of the room and put them by the front door. The guys helped the moving crew load up and I walked through our apartment one more time.

"Weird, is not it." Luca said, suddenly standing next to me. I nodded and looked at the room where there was so much rubbish before.

"I'm going to miss it here." I said softly. Luca stood behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Me too, little one. But now we can start again." I leaned my head back against his chest and he kissed my forehead.

"You're right. It just takes some getting used to." I responded.

"And I choose the bedroom next to yours in our new house so I can pop in at night without noticing." he laughed. I playfully slapped his arm.

"I didn't think so." I laughed. I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

"Yo! Lovebirds! Hurry up! Let's go!" Adam shouted from the doorway. I let go of Luca and we walked to the elevator together. I pressed the ground floor button, but Luca pressed number 13.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"Just wait! But whatever happens will keep the elevator open for me." The doors slid open, Luca started running and I was left amazed. Luca ran to a door and rang the bell for a long time. The elevator doors closed again so I reached in between them. Luca came running again and jumped into the elevator.

"Did you seriously call anyone?" I asked in disbelief. Luca just smiled and kept pushing the 'close doors' button. The door to the apartment where Luca had knocked opened. Mrs. Blanchard looked down the empty hallway and then saw us in the elevator.

"I'll get you, you nasty bastards!" she screamed, clenching her fist. Luca and I burst out laughing.

"Hello Mrs Blanchard!" he yelled at her. I looked at Luca, who was apparently having the greatest fun of his life.

"What?" he said when he saw my face. "It was funny and she deserved it."

"If you say so, Luca." This time the elevators opened on the right floor and together we walked to the parking lot, where the rest was already waiting for us. Ella was there too. She came running to me and fell on my neck.

"I'm going to miss you, Piper." she cried. I stroked her back with my hand and tears welled up in my eyes as well.

"It'll be fine. You're always welcome. It's only a three-hour train ride! You can always sleep over for a weekend!" Ella nodded and sniffed her nose.

"Hello Piper. I love you."

"Hello Ella. I love you too! See you soon!" Ella and I let go and I walked to my car. I opened the door and looked at the building one last time. Then I waved to Ella and got in. On our way to our new home.

—————

After a long journey we finally arrived at our new home. We parked our cars in the long driveway in front of the house. The moving van hadn't arrived yet, so we had to wait a little longer for our furniture. Jason, who had been given the keys, opened the house for us. I hadn't actually seen the inside of the house yet. The hallway was still very bare, but with a few photos or paintings that problem was solved in no time. The boys continued to the living room, but I sneaked up the stairs. I wanted to have the largest and most beautiful room. I walked down the hallway upstairs and opened the first few doors. Finally I opened the last door. This room looked a lot more interesting because it wasn't a square room. There was a cool corner in it. I walked to the window and had a view of part of the garden and part of the forest. The guys told me we'd have a smaller yard, but holy shit. This garden is fucking big! What a small garden! We had a pool and a small romantic canopy with... a hot tub? I'm in seventh heaven now! How could Jason ever afford this? There was also a terrace where we can barbecue in the summer. Awesome!

"Let's go claim rooms!" I heard Adam yell. I walked back into the hallway and saw the boys rushing up.

"I've already claimed this room!" I cried.

"I want the room next to Piper!" Luca shouted running towards me. Jason started to protest, but was too busy running in and out of rooms. After five minutes everyone had their own room. My room and Luca's room were at the end of the hall. Jason and Adam slept in the middle, and Jasper and Max slept closest to the stairs. everyone was staying until we got a message.

"Damn!" shouted Jason. "The moving van has problems, so they will probably come much later."

"How much later?" asked Adam.

"If his problems are solved in an hour, then tonight. If their problems are not solved in an hour, then between tomorrow and four days!"

"How are we going to sleep then? Without a bed?" I asked.

"Sleeping bags maybe? There must be a shop here that sells sleeping bags. Right?" Max suggested.

We decided that Max and Jasper were going to buy sleeping bags and pillows together, and then everyone else would start painting and decorating with the stuff we had in the cars. Adam and Jason started painting the living room and Luca and I started on my room. I opened the can of paint and stuck my roller brush in it. The color was a mix between mint green and Piper green. I planned to paint some kind of blossom tree on it later if I ever got the time. I had already finished quite a bit of my wall when Luca 'accidentally' painted over my face whole.

"Oops." he laughed. "I shot out." I now had a smear of green paint on my cheek.

"Oh that's okay. It can always happen... oops! I shoot too!" I made a long green line across Luca's face in one motion. Luca felt his face and looked at the paint that was now also on his fingers.

"You'll get it back!" In one swift motion, he laid me on the floor and let his paintbrush hang over my face.

"Surrender." he said quietly.

"Never!" I yelled back trying to get out from under him.

"You asked for it yourself." He put his kvass on my forehead and drew a long line down. It stopped just above my mouth. Then he threw the kvass away and came closer. His eyes drifted to my lips. I bit my lower lip seductively.

"Piper." he growled. He pressed his lips to mine passionately. With one hand he held my arms above my head. The other hand stroked my thigh. Our lips moved perfectly together.

"Piper, do you still need help... WTF!" shouted Jason. Luca flew off me and I straightened my hair again.

"Can you still keep your hands off each other? I think this is really rancid." Jason said on his 'I'm your big brother' tone.

"We know what you're doing to Lyla, big brother.

"Well, hurry up! Take a shower! Adam and I will finish it." Jason said while completely ignoring my comment. I got up and went to my suitcase to unpack some bath towels and shampoo.

"The bathroom is the second door on the left." said Jason. "That's the only one working at the moment. Luca, you go and rinse off in the garden." Luca and I walked out of the half green half white room. He went downstairs and I got into the bathroom. It was one of the only rooms in the house that was already finished. I turned on the shower faucet and undressed. I had laid out the towels and put the shampoo in the rack. I got in the shower and let the warm water run over me.

"Piper?" I heard Luca say. I let out a scream and covered my body, even though he couldn't see me.

"What are you doing here?" I said hysterically.

"The garden battle is so cold. Can I have a shower with you?"
