Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 143

Once I had finally drug myself out of the tub, I had fallen face-first into bed and slept like the dead. When I woke again, I quickly showered and wandered toward the kitchen. I found Drew, Josh, and Jake leaning against the island, drinking coffee. Josh caught sight of me first.

"Good morning, baby girl. Glad to see you can still walk."

I stopped, giving him a dirty look before continuing to the coffee maker and pouring myself a cup.

I took several sips of coffee before responding." No thanks to you guys. I think you all did try and break my vagina."

All three burst out laughing, then arms wrapped around me from behind. " Be nice to our girl," Patrick warned, then kissed the back of my neck. "I was thinking, let's go get some food, and then we are taking you shopping."

"Fine, since you're bribing me with food, we can go shopping." I sighed. I had never been a big fan of shopping, probably because I never had much money, but if they were willing to feed me, I would play along and see what they had in mind. After a breakfast of fluffy chocolate chip pancakes and armed with an iced coffee, the guys took me shopping. They wanted me to look at swimsuits even though I pointed out I had one back at the house. After some debate, I told them if they wanted me to get another suit, they could pick it out for me, and they happily split off in different directions, leaving me to wait by the dressing rooms and enjoy my coffee. Josh was the first back holding two string bikinis, and I rolled my eyes.
