to take care of morning necessities then headed to see two of my most favorite men in the world.
Drake glanced up when he saw me walk in, “Hey sis, long night, you look like hell?”
I walked over and gave Jaks a kiss on his forehead and ruffled his soft black hair. I looked over and saw my brother standing by the coffee pot, he handed me a cup of coffee which I gratefully took.
“Yea,” I answered.
He looked at me over the rim of his coffee cup, “You and Seth get things settled?”
“Kinda, still not sure what we will do when he leaves, but for now he wants to spend time with Jaks.”
“You’ll figure it out,” he said. “What about the two of you, work any of that out?”
“How was Jaks last night?” I said in a try to change the subject, because I still didn’t know what was going on there.
Drake chuckled at me, “He was good, stayed up late drinking beer and watching porn.”
I rolled my eyes at my brother and his typical response to that question. I could see he wasn’t going to let the subject of me and Seth go though, so I was relieved when my doorbell chimed. I jumped up in escape of my brothers questioning look. I looked through the peep hole in the door and found Seth standing there looking as delicious as ever his hair rumpled like he just rolled out of bed. He ran his fingers through it, his jaw slightly stubble, the stud of his labret glinting in the sunshine, sunglasses hiding his grass green eyes under the dark lenses. He was wearing in his typical style, a vintage Ramones shirt and a worn pair of 501’s that molded to his body perfectly. I opened the door and couldn’t help the smile at seeing him; I was rewarded with one of his heart melting lopsided grins.
“Hi beautiful, what do we have planned for the day?” he asked, stepped up and brushed a kiss to my lips; before it could go any farther we were interrupted by Drake clearing his throat.
He looked over my shoulder to where Drake stood, then leaned back down and brushed another kiss across my lips while brushing his fingers down my neck.
“Hey Drake,” he said without looking away from my face.
“Hey man, so since you’re here does that mean I am off babysitting duty today?”
“I have to be in the shop at 1. I have an appointment at 1:30 today then another at 3, I should be done around 4,” I said.
“I was thinking about hanging out with the boys today, you interested Drake, we’re just going to be messing around writing some. I know they all want to see you,” Seth said.
I bit my bottom lip, not really liking the idea of Jaks hanging around with Seth’s band. Don’t get me wrong, I liked them all well enough, it’s just that I know them and they weren’t exactly the type of role models I wanted in my son’s life. I looked up at Seth and found a smirk on his mouth; I could tell he knew exactly what I was thinking.
“Don’t worry, I told them to clean house before I come over,” he said. “I won’t let them corrupt Jaks, Devi.”
“It’s not that exactly,” I started but was interrupted.
Both Seth and Drake at the same time said, “It is that, Devi,” then they started laughing.
“Fine,” I said, “just keep an eye on them, and if he comes back smelling like pot I am going to kick both your asses.”
“Dev, have a little faith in me,” Drake said.
I looked back at my brother, and bit my bottom lip again; “Fine,” I said then went back to the kitchen.
“I told the guys we would be there around 11 or so, if that’s cool with you Dev?” Seth said walking into the kitchen, just then Jaks caught sight of him and gave a huge grin.
“Daddy!” he squealed.
“Yea that’s fine, his bag’s in the living room, do you want to come to the shop later or me go over to Xavier’s?” I asked.
“Why don’t you come over to Xavier’s, all the guys want to see you
