Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 116

The blaring alarm that woke me before seven did not make me happy. Tears stong the back of my eyes When I realized it was because we had to take Mike and Drew to the airport. Getting up, I dragged myself into the bathroom and started the shower, stripping down and climbing in; I shrieked when the water was still cold. Oh well, at least I was awake now. Drew stuck his head in the bathroom just as I finished rinsing off.

"Hey, sweetheart, just leave the water on; I need to hop in quickly, Drew said, stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind him. He dropped his boxers, and I took a moment to appreciate the view. Then, I blushed when he stepped closer to me and tilted my chin until I saw him in the yes. "Like what you see, baby?" He chuckled.

"Always," I promised before wrapping my arms around his waist." I'm going to miss you two so much," I whispered, my voice cracking with a sob

"I know, sweetheart. We will miss you too, but the sooner we go, the sooner we can come back," Drew reminded me before giving me a nudge toward my bedroom and climbing into the shower. I retreated to my bedroom, pulling on some comfortable clothes that were still nice enough to wear out, and when the smell of coffee made it into my room, I made a beeline for the kitchen. I knew I would only make it through the next few hours with coffee and cuddles

I was sitting on a stool at the kitchen island when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind Patrick rumbled a good morning into my neck before kissing the top of my head. Letting me go, he began making his cup of coffee, then sat down next to me, linking his free hand with mine and squeezing it. My other guys started to come in, each stopping to give me good morning kisses. They each made their coffee. After dropping their packs by the garage door, Mike and Drew were the last to come into the kitchen. They made their coffee and leaned against the counter across from me. God. they look yummy in the uniforms; I hope they get to keep them when they retire; my brain was coming up with many intriguing ideas about my men dressed in their uniform, and I squirmed in my seat, drawing the guy's attention to me.

Stopping, they turned and gave us one last wave before turning and disappearing into the crowd. I continued to sniffle as we walked back to the SUV, Patrick said he would drive, and Jake helped me into the back, climbing in after me, while lush got shotgun. Once 1 buckled my seat belt, lake wrapped an arm around me and pulled me against his chest, handing me a tissue to dry my face. Patrick drove us from the airport as I rested my head against Jake's chest. A few minutes later, I felt the car slowing down, and I opened my eyes to see Patrick had pulled into a shopping center.
