Josh returned a few minutes later carrying a huge box. Loaded with Chinese food. It smelled amazing.
my let out embarrassingly loud grow turned bright red with embarrassment and my hand over my stomach. Thankfully, none of the guys said anything. Drew just set me up on my feet we all trooped into the kitchen where Josh was busy setting out all the boxes of . When we each had a plate loaded with food. We went back to the Ining room And finished the action movie.It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon.
Once the movie was over, I told the guys they could play one of their games if they wanted. I was gonna go grab my book and read. While the guys were setting up their game.I went And tracked down my book. Returning with it, I cuddled in between Mike and Patrick. I got lost in my reading while the guys battled their way through his zombie .
I was about halfway through my when I began to get drowsy. The last thing I wanted to was sleep more but my body apparently had other ideas And I was soon dozing With my head on Mikeâs lap.And feet stretched across. Patrickâs legs. I donât know how long Iâve been asleep for when the nightmare started.I found myself back.In the dark basement where my father had been keeping me. The two kidnappers had been there. But when they came down. To give me more sedative. The one that had started to touch me.Didnât just stop there. And I startled awake.Screaming The guys were all watching me Their game.Totally forgotten And concern etched on all of their faces. Patrick was holding my feet in place.So I didnât accidentally kick him.But when he sar I was fully awake.
let go. And began to rub my legs soothingly.
Thank you.â I said with my voice trembling. âI know week will done nothing to help my PTSD or anxiety, and I know I need to talk about it. But right now Iâm not ready to. I want today to just be as normal as ,â I looked at each of them as I said this My eyes for understanding. They all quickly agreed But the look of concern. Was still on their faces.
âSweetheart, you donât have to do anything you donât want to,â Jake assured me âYeah baby girl.â Josh agreed. âJust be prepared cause weâre probably going to be clingy, overprotective boyfriends for quite some time.â
âI wouldnât mind that at all.âI assure Josh and the others chuckled at the disbelieving look he gave me.
â
?I asked looking at each of them.I am more than happy right now with overprotective and clingy.It makes me feel safe and loved.
âIâm glad you feel that way, baby girl, but think Not wanting to sit still any longer I stood up, gathering the empty plates. And brought them into the kitchen. Muttering I went. About boyfriends.jerks.I could hear their laughter behind me and I smiled. Once I had rinsed off the plates and loaded them into the dishwasher, Ibegan working on putting away the leftover food I had just finished putting away the food when Jake wandered in to see if I needed any help. I thanked him and handed him several sodas to take into the living room for the guys.I took another one for myself and followed Jake. While he was passing out sodas,I took the seat he had vacated. When turned and saw me sitting there le just picked me up, sat down and placed me in his lap. I grumbled goodânaturedly about dingy boyfriends before kissing his cheek and cuddling against him.
I sat with Jake While they played several of their game. But after while I became bored Watching them destroy zombies.So I wiggled off of his lap.And wandered into my room.Finding a soft, fuzzy blanket.I grabbed it off the bed. And brought it with me back to the living room Picking up my book along the way I sat down in one of the recliners, burrowed into the blanket and spent the rest of the afternoon .
When dinner time came, we finished off the Chinese food. Followed by ice cream for dessert. I a whole pint of mint chocolate chip all to myself since I was the only one that liked that flavor. The rest of the evening Was very low key.We switched between TV shows when we got tired of what we were watchingAnd the guys teased me mercilessly.When it was my turn to choose.Because I always picked the Video Shows. âWhat?I like the cute animal videos. They make me happy , defending my choice. Since none of them were going to argue with me.They sat through them without complaint Only laughing. At my overly dramatic reactions When a super cute video was shown.
When it was finally time for bed. They all, of course, wanted to sleep with me.But since I, my bed was not that big.I told them they would have to decide who got tonight since I refused to choose between them.I left them in the living room to figure it out while I went into my bedroom to change into pajamas. And brush my teeth.By the time I got out of the bathroom. The twins were sitting on my bed. Both grinning. And I just had to laugh.
âSo what did you guys end up doing to decide?â asked curiously, âWe were going to arm wrestle but decided that wouldnât be fair since Mike and Drew have been in the military for so long, so we just went with rock paper sistors. Jake said with smile. I laughted as I climbed between them. With the twins around me, I relaxed into sleep.
