Shattered Girl

Chapter 33

I wandered into the kitchen, heading straight to the coffee machine. Josh was pouring a cup for me, and I sighed happily as I took it from him, thanking him with a kiss. I added creamer and took my first sip. I asked Jake if he needed any help, and when he said he didn’t, I sat at the table, enjoying the feeling of the coffee working its way through my system.

I got up to help when Jake started plating the food; I was bringing the list plates to the table when Drew and Mike appeared. Drew poured coffee for himself and Mike, then joined us at the table. As we are, the guys began discussing their plans for the day, letting me know we had been invited to Patrick’s parent’s house for dinner tonight I looked forward to meeting Patrick’s mom and his other two dads. Everyone pitched in to clean up the breakfast mess, and we did the cleanup quickly.

I still had over an hour before Patrick was supposed to pick me up, so I started getting ready. After a quick shower, I stood in my closet, trying to figure out what to wear. Giving up, I sent a quick text to Patrick.

Emmy: Hey, how should I dress for today?

Patrick: Whatever you want to, I want you to be comfortable

enough to give the rest of the guys a chance to win. I cuddled up closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder, and continued to watch him play. When he came to a particularly sharp turn, 1 turned my head and gently bit the bottom of his ear. Josh jumped, sending his car

to the game, I shifted just enough so I could see the game, and waited. He quickly caught back up with the others, and was neck in neck with Drew’s car. When they hit the final straight to the finish line, I turned my head again and kissed Josh’ neck, he didn’t really pay any attention to me, so I quickly nipped his neck. That got his attention. Josh yelped losing his controler and the race at the same time. As he shuffled around grabbing for his controler, I quickly slid off his lap. Calling goodbye over my shoulder, and that I would see them at dinner, I hurried out of the room toward the front
