Eight: Oakley
The week goes by fairly quickly. The boys seemed to kick it in high gear. They even asked me for extra workouts and things they could do on their own time and to do harder things more often. It's Friday night and I'm half way asleep. I almost fall asleep and let my dreams capture me, but a kiss on my forehead drags me back.
Corbin smiles at me and runs his head through my hair. "I have a surprise for you."
"The best dream ever?" I question and close my eyes.
"Nope. It's outside." He throws the covers off me and I growl at him. I launch myself at him and we fall on the ground. "I worked really hard on it."
"Can I sleep as long as I want after the surprise is over?"
"Yes." I smirk and get off of him. I climb on my window and glance back at him.
"Come on." I command and flawlessly land on the ground feet first. He jumps and walks up to me.
He grabs my hand. "You're a handful."
I throw my head back in laughter. "This is only the beginning. I get worse." I smirk.
We keep walking for awhile until we come upon my surprise. I see a huge tarp strung up in the trees and a bunch of air mattresses, blankets, and pillows on the ground.
"What are we watching?" I question while a soft smile graces my features.
"Black Panther."
I take off running towards the closest air mattress and launch myself into the air to land on the air mattress. There was one thing forgot about though. Corbin never let go of my hand. He lands on the air mattress face first. He glances at me and smile apologetically. "I'm not used to this," I say and raise our connected hands.
"You guys ready to watch the movie?" One of my guys questions and we say we are.
We watch the movie which consists of me making a lot comments and by that I mean lots of gestures and shouting. Once the movie is over I collapse onto the air mattress.
"You really like watching movies."
I turn my head to face him. "Yeah, that's what me and Gray did a lot when he was trying to go to sleep."
"I hope you don't mind, but me and Gray are becoming best buds."
I shake my head. "I don't mind at all. He needs as many people as possible to watch over him as they can. I wish mom was still here. He needs a mom. I'm all he's got and I don't feel like I do justice for what he needs." Tears start to fall down my cheeks as I talk.
"Hey, hey. It's okay. You are doing a good job with him. You're the best sister and daughter that your family has." He whispers and wraps his arms around me.
"I'm sorry to spill all this to you now."
"Don't be sorry. This is getting to know each other and I want you to be able to tell me anything. I'm going to be here for you no matter what, okay?" I nod. "Ready to get some sleep?" I nod my head again.
"Will you carry me?" I mutter. I hate being vulnerable, but that's mates are for right? He nods and picks me up. He carries me to my room and lays me down on my bed. "Goodnight. See you in the morning." He nods and smiles.
In the middle of the night I wake up and roll over to feel an horrible surprise. I growl and hold back a frustrated scream. I throw the covers off of me and waddle around my room. I search through my dresser to find a pair of underwear. I waddle into the bathroom and fix my bloody mess. Next, I strip the sheets off my bed. I spread a heated blanket on my bed. I grab another blanket and climb on my bed. I cover myself with the blanket and hope that sleep comes as soon as possible.
