~Everything You Need~ Cliff x OC

!41!

"I'M HOME!" I yelled while walking into the house. "Aske!" Lone called out coming to me with open arms. (Aske is Ember in Danish). I hugged her back.

"Who's this?" She asked with a smile looking at Natalya. "Oh! This is my friend Natalya. She's also Kirk's girlfriend." I said, grabbing Natalya's shoulders. She looked slightly confused not knowing to much English and I spoke rather fast. Torben translated for her to understand.

"Oh! Wonderful! So nice to meet you." She said hugging Natalya. "You too!" Natalya said. "Go sit down." I said to Natalya and Cliff while I followed Lone to the kitchen. Everything looked made but on the counter. "I'll help you!" I said grabbing two of the bowls. "Thank you!" She grabbed a few other things.

We brought it out and the only spot left after Lone took her seat was between Lars and Cliff. I sat down and looked at Natlaya who sat across from me. She had a smile before slightly suggesting to Cliff. I rolled my eyes and looked at Lone.

We all held hands as Torben said blessings. (I'm sorry I don't know what happens before dinners and shit. I've never had to do it. We always eat in our own rooms or on the couch so I don't have a clue on what to do.). "Let's eat!" Lars said, grabbing the sausage.

I smacked his hand and grabbed the sausage. "I want some before you eat it all you pig!" I said taking a piece as Cliff chuckled. He flipped me off making Lone yell at him in Danish. He looked at me as if he could kill me. I shook it off and went back to getting food.

We all got what we wanted and started eating. "This is amazing!" Cliff said as he ate his sausage. Natalya and Kirk nodded with him. "Oh thank you!" Lone said.

We ate and talked about all kinds of things. Lone got up and went to the kitchen. "Me and Natalya for our senior prank day cover Mr. Scribner's desk with post it notes that had dicks drawn all over them." I said talking to Kirk. (She knows who I'm talking about)

He was telling everyone about something he did in school. "Then we covered the room with sawdust! He was the worst!" She said, Cliff looked at me. "Really mature." He said in a sarcastic tone with that smirk on his face.

"What! He was a sexist man who thought women shouldn't be in his class. He liked the guys so much we thought we might as well show him the dick that he wished he had." I said, rolling my eyes at him. Lars choked on his soda.

I laughed as Torben looked at him concerned. He caught his breath as I put my head down forgetting there was a plate. I quickly picked my head that now had gravy all over it. "Shit!" I said quickly getting up as James and Lars laughed and Cliff lightly chuckled.

I ran to the kitchen and started rinsing it off my face. "That boy seems to like you." Lone said while putting some baked goods on a dish. "Who?" I asked, as I dried my face with a towel.

"The one you were sitting next to!" she said, looking at me. "Lars? Oh you mean Cliff!" I said realizing there was no way in hell she was meaning Lars. "Yes, Cliff! He was looking at you. He could not take his eyes off you." She said, grabbing the plate and walking out there.

I stood there for a moment, smiling to myself. Was he really? I broke away from my thoughts and walked back to the table. I saw an apple turnover and reached for it. Lars grabbed it and held it up. "I'm not fighting over this." I said grabbing the blueberry turnover.

He pouted at me as I shoved the baked good in my mouth. I rolled my eyes and quickly shot my hand for the turnover in his hand. As I took it he looked stunned, "You wanted to fight." I said give him the blueberry one. "I don't want one your nasty mouth has been on!" he said putting it on my napkin.

"Whatever." I said, wrapping it in the napkin. "We have a basket of baked goods we're sending home with you." Torben said, getting up. I followed him to the kitchen. "So how have you been Dear." He asked, grabbing the basket from the counter. "Well other than having to babysit these boys during the day, it's pretty good." I said leaning against the counter.

He chuckled and handed me the basket. "Well that's good but who's watching them at night?" he asked, chuckling. "Well I mean so far it's either been tipsy me or Cliff. Actually we all just kinda watch each other. We have a buddy system going on kinda. Driving wise it's James and Lars, Natalya and Kirk, and me and Cliff. But at the end of the day we all make it to our bed so I'd say we're pretty successful." I said as he graded something from a cupboard.

"Well that's good. I want to say thank you for watching out for all of them, but mostly Lars. He can be really annoying." He said facing away from me with what he grabbed from the cupboard. "Of course! Lars is the brother I didn't get to have! Even if we constantly fight I would do anything for him. Honestly, everyone at that table tonight is like my family." I said.

He faced me with cash in his hands, "I don't trust Lars with this but I want to make sure all of you have food and things you need. It's $150, please take it." He said putting it in my hands. "Torben. I can't. I don't want you to have to support all of us." I said, trying to give it back. Sure we could use it but I don't like taking money from people.

"You don't even have to keep it on you. Find a place in the house where you can put it. Even if you only use it as emergency money, I want to give it to all you guys. I would give it to Lars but I know him. He'll go spend it. Please." He said.

Torben was such a kind hearted man. He always made sure everyone around him was taken care of. He never let me go hungry or without anything. He would either call me or have Lars call me to make sure I was ok. He was like a father to me.

"Ok... But I will pay you back in any way I can. I don't like taking money from people." I said, grabbing the basket that sat on the counter next to me. We walked back to the table.

We talked for a little while longer before Lars got up. "Thank you for dinner Mor. We should get going, it's getting pretty dark." Lars said as James stood up. Everyone thanked her. "Of course children! You are always welcomed here." she said, "Just not too often!" Torben joked.

We all laughed and they headed for the door. "I'm gonna help Lone a little. I'll be out in a minute. I said going to the kitchen with Lone.

Cliff pov

I watched as Ember walked into the kitchen and I walked out after Natalya. We walked out and got in. "You like Ember." she said while looking at me. I took a deep breath, "And? So what if I do?" I said taking out a cigarette.

"Wow! Don't give me that attitude! I'm just trying to help you!" she said as I lit my cigarette. "And how are you gonna do that?" I asked. "Well I was gonna help you tell her but never mind!" She said, throwing up her arms. "Ok my bad! I want to tell her but I don't know how!" I said now looking at her.

"That's where I come in!" she said, she started explaining ways for me to tell her. This girl was smart.
