Broken Dreams Stories

Chapter 125

Josh returned a few minutes later carrying a huge box. Loaded with Chinese food. It smelled amazing. And my stomach let out an embarrassingly loud grow turned bright red with embarrassment and slapped my hand over my stomach. Thankfully, none of the guys said anything. Drew just set me up on my feet and we all trooped into the kitchen where Josh was busy setting out all the boxes of Chinese food. 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 apocalypse.

I was about halfway through my book when I began to get drowsy. The last thing I wanted to do was sleep more but my body apparently had other ideas And I was soon dozing With my head on Mike’s lap.And feet stretched across. Patrick’s legs.

But when they came down. To give me more sedative. The one that had started to touch me.Didn’t 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 didn’t accidentally kick him.But when he sar I was fully awake. He let go. And began to rub my legs soothingly.

Mike helped me sit fully up Before gently wrapping Me in a hug Pressing his lips to the side of my head. He whispered quietly. “You’re safe, Em, honey We’re all here And I promise.We will never let anything like this happen again.” I could feel tears stinging the back of my eyes. And I took a moment to try and calm myself.
