Taking You: Chapter 9

9: I Depend On You

Series Masterlist Masterlist

"We're home!" I shouted as Jonah and I walked in through the front door. When nobody answered, I looked at Jonah. "Is anyone even home?"

"I'm gonna go check." he set his bag down and walked upstairs. I took a quick look through the rooms on the main floor and sighed when nobody showed up.

"Any luck up there?"

"Nope! They're all gone."

"Why would they not be home? They knew we were coming home today."

"I don't know." He sighed and pulled out his phone. "Come one. Let's go check the basement."

"Okay fine. But if something pops up and scares me, I'm going to punch you. Okay?"

"Got it." he chuckled and I followed him down the creaky wooden steps. He reached for the light and almost fell.

"Dude, how did you almost fall?" I smiled down at him from 3 steps above. "You're tall. You should be able to reach that light string with ease."

"Hey, it's harder than it looks." he chuckled and we continued walking down.

"Tell me about it. You're more than 6 feet tall and I'm only 5'3."

"Shorty."

"Shut up, Hoenah."

"Don't call me that." He stopped on the stairs and turned to face me. With the 3 step difference, we were the same height.

"Would you prefer if I called you Johana?"

"Yes actually."

"Really? Why?"

I don't know. It sounds better."

"Okay whatever." I smiled and jumped down a few steps. We were now standing on flat ground so I was back to being extremely short. "Hoenah."

"Abigail." he smirked.

"I hate when my full name gets used."

"Why?"

"Because I...never mind. Do you see anyone down here?" I asked.

"No." he sighed and turned to go back upstairs. Instead of getting to the stairs. He bumped into me and fell down. I reached my hand out and helped him stand. "Why were you so close to me?" he questioned as he dusted himself off and followed me upstairs.

"Basements are scary."

"So you're afraid of basements, something that can't really harm you, but you're obsessed with movies like Halloween and Friday The 13th, which have killers that anybody can easily imitate. How does that work?"

"I don't know. It just does." I smiled and walked into the kitchen. "I'm gonna make some cookies or something? Wanna help?"

"Um...yeah sure. Why not." he chuckled and got out the ingredients we needed.

"Jonah, can you get a bowl from up there?" I asked while pointing to the cabinet above me.

"Why can't you get it? You're right there."

"Well because 1, I'm too short, as you pointed out earlier. And 2, Corbyn hid them from me before he left because he doesn't like it when I bake without him."

"So you're bake-cheating on your boyfriend?" he chuckled and reached up to the shelf with the bowls.

"I wouldn't call it bake-cheating, exactly."

"What would you call it then?"

"Baking without Corbyn. But what he doesn't know, won't hurt him." I smiled and started mixing ingredients. Jonah helped here and there but he was on his phone most of the time.

When we put the cookies on the baking sheet, his phone went off.

"I gotta take this. I'll be right back." he smiled and answered the phone while leaving me in the kitchen. I sat down and looked on Wattpad for a new book to read. I found one about the boys and decided to read it. I got to the 3rd chapter before Jonah came back in. "I gotta go but I'll be back later. Don't let anyone eat the cookies until I get back." he smiled before leaving again.

This time, I was alone so I hooked my phone up to the surround sound speakers and started dancing. After the timer on the oven went off, I pulled the cookies out and smiled. The aroma started filling the house and I was happy so I went back to dancing. When 'Trust Fund Baby' came on, I started singing.

"And all we used to dream about, is getting rich and getting out. Move to the nicer part of town, where we have numbers on our house. It took a while to figure out, the type of girl that i'm about. Who brings the real man out of me. I don't really want no trust fund baby. I like my women independent."

"Wow. Great show." Zach chuckled as he set a box on the kitchen counter. "Ooh. Cookies." he smiled and went to reach for one but I slapped his hand. "Ow. What was that for?"

"Jonah asked me to not let anyone eat these until he got home."

"Where did he go?"

"No idea. But no one is eating them until he gets home."

"You're no fun." he sighed and sat on a stool. Seconds later, the others followed and just like Zach, they all reached for the cookies but I slapped their hands too.

"Why'd you slap us?" Angel asked.

"She wouldn't let me have one because we have to wait for Jonah to get back."

"He wanted to make sure he didn't miss out on getting to eat the cookies. He had to leave before they were done so I took them out."

"Did you bake-cheat on Corbyn with Jonah?" Angel gasped jokingly.

"No. Definitely not." I giggled. "Jonah actually baked these," I lied.

"Well I think we should taste them, just to see if they're bad or not." Jack smiled and went to grab one.

"Okay fine. But you only get one so make it last." I said, allowing everyone to reach for one.

"I need another cookie." Zach said with his entire cookie shoved in his mouth.

"Sorry Zach. But you can't have another one. We gotta save some for Jonah and make sure Aubrielle and Corbyn get some when they come home tomorrow."

"Oh right. Yay." Zach cheered.

"Why don't we just separate them into equal groups?" Jack questioned. Daniel nodded and it looked like he was calculating how many we all got.

"You guys made 80 cookies? What?" Daniel joked and counted them again. "Yup. There was 80 cookies here but now there's 76 because we all had one, except for Abby."

"So what do you say, Abby? Can we split them up?"

"Yeah sure. Whatever. But if you eat yours, you'll have to make your own." I smiled and started separating them into 8 piles, making sure I only gave 9 to 4 of the piles. Once that was done, I grabbed my phone off the speaker and went up to my room. Corbyn was calling me just as I decided to lay down.

"Hey babe. You get home safely?" he asked.

"Yeah. Jonah slept most of the plane ride though & that man snores a lot." I giggled, earning a chuckle from Corbyn.

"Oh I know. We share a room a lot. And I'm pretty sure when I get back tomorrow, It'll be my week to share with him again."

"Right. I forgot that you guys all switched every week." I sighed and looked at the picture I had of us on my night stand. It was taken a few days after I met the boys. "I can't wait until you get home tomorrow."

"Me too. It's going to be awesome."

"I missed you." I smiled.

"We saw each other at like 5 this morning." he chuckled.

"I know but still. I want to hold you and never let go."

"I wouldn't stop you." he chuckled. "Hey babe, I gotta get some sleep so I can be up tomorrow to fly home but I'll see you first thing tomorrow."

"Alright. Goodnight. I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled and he hung up the phone. I set mine down on the night stand and looked up at my ceiling. I couldn't wait to see Corbyn in the morning.

"I wish you were here with me tonight." I whispered to myself.

"You know, your wish can easily be granted." I heard the all too familiar voice say from the doorway. I quickly got off the bed and ran to him. He held me close and laughed. "God, I love you."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back early?"

"Well, you surprised me in Virginia so I thought I'd surprise you here." He smiled. "Where's Jonah? This was kind of his idea."

"It was?"

"Yeah, kind of. So, where is he?"

"I don't know. When we got home, no one was here so we checked and nothing. Then we got bored and we..."

"And you what? Finish that sentence."

"We played a bit of Fortnite. Then he got a call and left shortly after."

"You are a terrible liar." he chuckled and kissed me.

"What do you mean?"

"I know you bake cheated on me with Jonah."

"Well, Zach told me that there were cookies for me and then he said that Jonah made them. And we both know Jonah can't really bake."

"But he actually can if he really tries. He was so helpful today."

"I knew it. You bake-cheated on me. My own girlfriend bake-cheated. I can't believe she would bake with another man." he laughed and wiped away a fake tear.

"You're such a dork." I giggled and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"I lovvvvve you." He smiled and began kissing all over my face.

"Eww Corbyn." I couldn't help but giggle. This is what I've been missing. "You're lucky I love you."

"Good. Because I depend on you to love me."

"I depend on that too."
