(1x1 With SulliWolf and Neruda)

[Neruda Love Song]

Alexander sighed. "Listen. Hayley, you are innocent. Naive, yes. If your parents will not help you out, I can talk to Boss. See if I can pull strings."
"Dinner time!" Grey shouted making Alexander head snap up. Sighing again he looked at Hayley. "I guess you will eat. Grey's a drama queen when you refuse his food. He is the cook of the group. Pretty good, if you like good ole southern cooking."

[SulliWolf]

Hayley sighed but nodded at Alexander's words. She didn't really believe them, though. Why would they want to help her? When Grey yelled about dinner, she jumped a bit and looked to where the shout came from. "But I am not that hungry.." She said to Alexander although she would eat anyways so she didn't bother them.

[Neruda Love Song]

Alexander smiled slightly. "If you don't want it Ath will eat it. He will eat any and all scraps." He kept walking until he came to to large double doors. He opened one and held it open for Hayley. The guys were already down.
"Hey," he said. They ignored him.
"Hey!" They all turned to him. He thrust his head at Hayley.
"Girl is off limits. I find out you lay a finger on her I will nail you hind-end to the wall. Understand!"
They all saluted. "Yes, sir!"

[SulliWolf]

Hayley raised an eyebrow at their humor, but she didn't shy away from them this time. She cautiously walked over to the table, sitting down quietly in an open seat. She looked around at all the men quickly, remembering which face belonged to which name, then looked down at the table. This was all new to her, these guys' senses of humor, their closeness with one another, and just the whole atmosphere. It wasn't bad, it was just new.

Alexander slipped in the seat next to hers.
"What is for today Grey, old man?" he asked him laying his elbows on the table. Wolf sat next to him while Ath had his head in the fridge while his rear-end stuck up in the air.
"Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuit, and beans," Grey said putting chicken on a plate, concentrating. Ath made a inaudible sound from the fridge and wiggled his butt.
"Dude, stop," Wolf said. Ath's head popped out of the fridge and he looked at Hayley with panicked eyes. Like he had important news. Which he never did.
"Hey chick-"
"Hayley," Alexander corrected.
"Hey Hayley, anything you don't want, my stomach will."
Wolf grunted. "Your stomach will eat anything edible."

[SulliWolf]

"Um, to be honest, I am not really hungry.." Hayley said, hoping she didn't offend Grey or anything. "It is nothing to do with the food, really. I just can't eat when I am stressed, I get sick." She said, her voice a mumble. She just took a few sips of her water and then glanced around again. She felt a little bit more comfortable now than earlier, seeing that the men weren't bothering her.

Grey huffed, but didn't say anything. Ath, however, was smiling like he won the lottery. "Chic--I mean Hayley, you are awesome."
Wolf looked over Alexander and said, "You will get used to it here. Just stay out of Ath's way when there is food." Alexander laughed as Grey started carrying plates.
"It wouldn't kill you to help once and a while," he muttered.
In union they all said, "Yes it would."
Alexander looked at Hayley and winked. "It'll be okay."

[SulliWolf]

Hayley nodded quietly to Alexander, but she had a small frown on her face. She just didn't know if she could believe that. She got up, seeing how Grey was getting the food ready all by himself, and decided to help. "I'll help out. I don't really have much better things to do anyways." She said, taking a couple of plates in her hands and bringing them over to the table. She set one in front of Wolf and the other in front of Alexander, then went to go get them some drinks.

Grey smiled and said, "Why thank you. You are more helpful than most people." He shot a eye at Ath.
Alexander picked up his fork and scooped up potatoes and gravy and put it in his mouth. Swallowing he said, "Now girls. Let us not fight." Wolf chuckled and scarfed down the chicken.
Alexander looked toward Hayley and said, "When we are finished here eating I'll take you to the garden so I can explain some other things."
Ath looked at Hayley and batted his eyes, smiling like a fool. "I planted the garden you know. The flowers started blooming Tuesday."

[SulliWolf]

Hayley nodded quietly to Alexander and then chuckled a little bit at Ath's words. "Well I certainly didn't know you guys were the type to garden, to be honest." She said, the tone light and almost playful. She got out four glasses and then got them all some water, carrying two glasses at a time to the table until all of them had drinks. She then returned to her seat and glanced around a little bit.
