"Oh, we have to go check on Caleb today." The thought of Busken reminds me.

"Yeah, let's hope he's healing ok."

I nod.

If it wasn't for him, I'd be in the hospital now.

We walk into the kitchen and Lucas stands at the stove making pancakes and bacon. I sit at the stools in front of the pink marble kitchen counter, while Ryder goes around the back to get us some food.

"No good morning Lucas, or maybe 'a please let me have some?' No?" Lucas questions. I chuckle, while Ryder shakes his head, collecting our share.

"You got way too much sleep. I can't believe you're making breakfast." Ryder seems slightly baffled as he walks back towards me with two plates.

"I had to. We got Rose back, you're in a good mood finally, and y'all had sex." Lucas hums continuing to make his pancakes as I freeze and Ryder smirks.

"You heard?" Ryder asks, still grinning. I stay frozen.

"Loud and clear. Everyone in the suite did, I'm sure. Pretty thin walls." He taps the spatula against the wall next to him.

I laugh, snapping out of it. This is a good thing.

"Then you all know who the real leader is." I glance at Ryder with a smirk.

"Of course." Lucas nods towards me.

"That's cute, Rose." Ryder says, standing next to me, instead of sitting down.

"What's cute about it?" My smirk grows.

"I like that you're comfy here. Last night when we came back, it was nice seeing you talk with the guys like that." He pinches my cheek, kisses my forehead and sits.

"Like what?" I eat a piece of bacon.

"Like you belong, because you do."

"Get a room." Ethan stomps into the kitchen and plops down on the stool furthest from us.

"Shut up, Ethan." Ryder and I say at the same time.

Ethan sighs, going to the living room. We all laugh watching him walk off.

"Is he always that grumpy in the mornings?" I point in the direction he left.

"Yup. Don't talk to him when he's up early." Ryder picks up my empty plate and washes it in the sink.

"You're doing her dishes now? Fucking whipped." Ethan remarks, coming back for food, walking to the frigde. Ryder flips him off and I go put my shoes on.

"Where are you guys going?" Lucas asks.

"The hospital. Caleb." I state, walking towards the door. Ryder wipes his hands and follows me.

"Don't trash the suite while we're gone." Ryder says as we walk out the door.

"No promises!" Lucas shouts as the door closes shut. I chuckle and shake my head.

"Where did you find these guys?"

Ryder sighs but a smile remains on his face.

"I'll tell you later let's just go for now."

I nod, feeling more content than ever.

*-*

We walk into the elevator and Ryder presses Caleb's floor.

"Have you thought about last night?" Ryder asks.

I nod slowly and look at him.

"I want to be with you and the guys but I don't think it's fair dragging you guys here and I can't ask my old members in the mafia to come with me to America. I don't want to disrupt anyone's life with my business." My mood darkens.
