The Surprise

Tiare POV:

My parents are gonna flip out! I can't wait to see my brothers! But hey where are my manners? I'm Tiare Lizabeth McKayley Adams. I'm the youngest after my four brothers and yup I'm my parents princess. I'm currently 18 and I'm attending Harvard University. Oh and I have two roommates Cody and Logan, they are the best! Although at times they act like big brothers which was both refreshing and annoying. They always look out for me and I am pretty sure they will flip when they see that I'm gone, well that is if they figured out that I'm not home. 

I finished my exams a week before the real exam week because of a very important reason *wink*. Well I want to surprise my family and I know they miss me a lot! And I got just the right person to help me execute my plan. 

"Tiare right here!" I looked ahead and my grandpa is waving at me. He is the sweetest human being on earth and the only one who knows I finished my exams early since he was the one who talked to my professors and made the excuse of my uncle passing away when really he doesn't have any other son besides my dad. He says yes to everything mommy and daddy says "no" to. I'm not spoiled just loved. He is my partner in crime. 

"Grandpa! I missed you" I ran to him and even with gray hair he still can pick me up. 

"Aww I missed you too precious. So tell me how was University treating you?" He asked and we talked about University throughout the 30 min car ride to our family company. I told him about Cody and Logan who treats me like a little sister and keeps the bad people away and he said he wants to meet them because he likes them already. 

The car parked and my grandpa said to go ahead and he'll go back home. 

I got out and walked into the building and how I missed everyone!

"Tiare you're back!" Jody the cleaner greeted me and I hugged her cuz I missed her. She always greet me and help me out whenever I come here and she's a big help to the company too always keeping the lobby sparkly.

"Jody I missed you! I got you a little something" I got out a keychain that had the words "Someone who loves me goes to Harvard University" in the front and her initials at the back. I got a whole lot in my bag with the same words and different initials for those I'm giving to. 

"What about me? Do I get one?" Cheryll the receptionist said with a sad face. She is like the sweetest and a psycho too if she wants so I call her Cherry Boo. I miss her funny self. 

"Of course my Cherry Boo I got you one if you give me a hug" I cooed and ran to her and hugged her. 

"Tiare you are the most loving person I've ever known. Am I right Jody?" She turned and asked Jody. 

"I wish I had a son so I'll make him marry you" Jody joked. 

"Hahaha well he will have to go through my dad and brothers first" I joked back. 

"Never mind that's like sacrifice" She joked making everyone laugh. 

"Ok well I'll get going cuz I want to surprise my family and I got a whole lot people to give these to." I said to them. 

"Don't tell me you got these for everyone" Cherry Said eyeing me. 

"All 200 workers who helped my family keeping this company alive and thriving. I won't be able to meet all but I'll give them to the manager to give it to them and send my loves to them. I love you guys very much. You are all family and I'm grateful for each and everyone of you" I said and gave her and Jody one last hug before heading to the elevator. 

I pushed the button for the CEO office and it took me right up in about a minute or so. I'm super excited and can't wait to see the look on their faces. The elevator door opened and I ran to the conference room cuz that's where grandpa said to go to. 

I opened the door and yelled "Surprise!" 

OMG their faces are so funny and oops other faces I couldn't recognize. 

"Oopsy... Sorry! I didn't know you're in a meeting and grandpa said to surprise you guys here!" I facepalmed. I really should've knocked first.

"I'll just go" I smiled awkwardly and about to go but my brothers pulled me in and hugged me.

"I missed you Ti" "I thought you'll be back next week" "I missed my baby sister!" "I love you so much Tia" They were all shouting in my face and hugging me. 

"Okay okay people chill! You're crushing me!" I said trying to push them off because they were literally crushing me. 

I heard a low growl. Like an animal growl but there's no animal here so someone must be hungry. 

"Okay whose stomach is that?" I asked     

They pushed off and were giving me confusing looks. 

"Princess come here!" My dad said standing from his chair. 

I ran to him and hugged him and I felt my mom hugging me from behind. 

"Why didn't you tell us you were coming back today?" My mom asked. 

"Duh then it wouldn't be a surprise then" I said. 

 "Wait why are you finished early though? Aren't exams this week?" my dad asked. 

"Well" I started fidgeting with my fingers and the floor looked interesting at that time. "I asked grandpa to help me" 

"That old man!" my dad said and facepalmed. 

"Hey don't be mean to him, he was just trying to help me!" I scolded. 

"Ahem" someone cleared their throat.

"Oh right I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Maddock, Alp-- and the rest" My dad apologized. 

"It's all right. please introduce us to this lovely young lady." The kind woman smiled and she is so beautiful. 

"Nick, Carol and boys this is my daughter Tiare Adams. I know we've known each other for long but nobody knows about our daughter except our family and the people who work for us. We kept her hidden because of the fear of someone hurting her or using her to get to us like they used Caleb before" My dad explained and that growl happened again. Who didn't eat this morning?

"One of my workers spilled in out a week ago and we had to let him go because that was one of the things in their contract that was classified. We had to have people watch over her and still need more people to watch over her after my birthday this weekend which I'll introduce her to the world." My dad said giving me a side hug. 

"Well she is a rare beauty and I would want to keep her safe too" Mrs. Maddock said smiling at me. She's sweet.

"It is great to meet you. You are so beautiful and you're not even wearing makeup. Like the moon, Luna" She said as she gave me a hug. 

"Thank you. Luna?" I asked her. 

"Yes like the moon. You have this smile and beauty that just lights up this dark and cruel world" she said.

"It is great to meet you too" Mr. Maddock gave me a hug too. 

"This is my son Matthew and his best friends Ryder and James." He said as he pointed to the three guys behind him.

I looked up to talk but swallowed my words when my eyes met his. Eyes dark blue and I instantly lost myself in them. I feel weird like tingling weird. I was about to hold my hand up for a shake but he was pushed into me and I lost my balance but he held on to me so I won't fall. thousand sparks went up my arms as if I'm standing in the middle of the July fireworks. Okay this is weird. I have to get out of this. 

"Umm hi?" I smiled awkwardly. 

"You can let go now" I said and I heard a growl again but this time it was kind of soft. 

He pulled me up so I can stand. "I'm Matthew and this idiot who pushed me is my friend Ryder and behind him is James" He said as he pointed out. 

"Hey I can introduce myself just fine. Can I get a hug too?" He held open his hands but James pulled him around making them hug instead. These guys are funny. 

"Okay I think we should go ahead with the meeting now. Tiare you can wait in my office and we'll grab lunch after this."  Caleb said as if shooing me out of there. 

"Okay can I use your phone to call Cody mine is dead" I asked. 

"NO!" Matthew answered instead and he had this threatening eyes and everyone looked at him.
