Broken Dreams Stories

Shattered Girl

Chapter 24

I was happily sandwiched between Drew and Mike; I sat back, enjoying watching the four brothers interact. They joked, talking about things that happened on the base overseas. I was daydreaming about what it would be like to have all four of the guys home when I heard Jake say my name. Focusing on my surroundings again, I apologized for not hearing what he said.

“Don’t apologize, sweetheart; I just asked what sounds good to eat.” Jake twisted around so he could look at us.

“Oh, I’m not picky. Let these two pick; I’m sure they missed something while overseas.” Seconds after the words left my mouth, I realized the sexual innuendos that implied. I turned bright red, and four sets of eyes focused on me.

“Food! I meant Food!” I was so embarrassed I don’t think I will ever be able to look any of them in the eyes again.

“Well, I know something I would like to eat, baby girl,” Josh said, watching me through the rearview mirror. Wow, I didn’t think my face could get any redder, but it did, and then my brain helpfully began adding images of the different things josh could have meant by that. I groaned and covered my face with my hands, trying to decide if I wanted to die of embarrassment or jump one of them and live out the fantasies running through my head.

“OK, guys, that’s enough,” Drew said, wrapping an

an arm around my shoulders and pulling me to him. Don’t let them get to you, princess, they can be **ometimes.” Drew stage whispered to me.

“Hey, not we aren’t,” The other three interjected. I gizzled at the disgruntled look on the guy’s faces. Then I began laughing when they all ..started talking over each other, promising they weren’t like that.

Shaking my head, I addressed the whole car. “Guys, relax. I don’t think any of you are a** you have gone out of your way

to take care of me and make sure I was comfortable. I know how good you guys are. Now, what are we going to eat?” The last was directed at Mike and Drew, and I waited for their answer.

After some debate and several heated rounds of rock paper scissors, Mike won and decided on a local family-owned dinner they had been eating at for years. Jake pulled up the dinner menu online and placed the order. Thirty minutes, Jake said as he locked his phone.

It was perfect timing because we hit rush hour traffic, and when we were pulling into the dinner, Jake got a text message saying our order was ready. He and Drew went inside to get everything. While they were gone, Mike took my hand and squeezed it.

“Honey, are you doing ok?” Mike cupped my face with his hand, turning my head until I saw him in the eyes, I smiled gently and nodded yes.” It was killing both of us that we couldn’t be there to help you through everything. I’m glad Jake and Josh were, though.”

“Me too; I don’t know what would have happened if I had been released from the hospital and Clint and my mom were the only ones there.” I shivered at the thought. Knowing I would have been entirely on my own.
