Shattered Girl (Emmy)

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.

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

Emmy: So, sneakers? Hiking boots? Can you give me some idea of what we are doing?

Patrick: Love, it's a surprise.

Emmy: So, evening gowns and sneakers?

to the living room to wait with the guys who were involved in yet another video game race. Jake spotted me, and angled himself so I could sit on his lap

to tease him, seeing if I could distract him 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,

continued to grumble until his car reappeared on the track. He returned his focus 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

down the driveway my phone began to ring. I looked at it, seeing Josh's name I silenced it, and let it go through to voicemail. The brat in me giggled, I was already in trouble, ignoring his phone call wasn't going to make things to much worse, and besides by the time we met up
