The rain was increasingly loud this morning, actually managing to wake me up for once. My eyes flickered open and I looked to see that I was laying in my bed. .naked.

Remembering last night's events caused a blush to creep into my face and I smiled before getting out of bed, the soreness in my legs surprising me ever so much. I ignored it as best as I could before walking over to my dresser to get something to wear for the day. My clothes from yesterday, including my bra and panties were actually ripped apart, so there would be no more wearing those anymore; the only sad part about it was that they all just so happened to be my favorites.

After grabbing a flannel shirt, an oversized white tank top, some shorts, and of course a bra and panties, I walked into my bathroom to take a shower. There was no need to undress myself so I just hopped right in, wasting no time at all to begin scrubbing myself.

Only after about two seconds had everything about last night begun to flood my thoughts. Truthfully, and I won't go into detail, but it was easily the best time of my life. Of course there were a few complications and questions about the situation seeing as he is a different species than I am, but we saw past them and, well, we just had the fucking time of our lives. .no pun intended.

But really. .I loved him so much before it happened and I didn't think it was even remotely possible to love him more, but I did and I could feel every ounce of this love flowing through my veins. He was and is just so special to me and I really didn't know what to do about it. We had a strong bond before, but last night had definitely strengthened it ten-fold. Nobody would ever know the extent of my love for the Autobot weapons specialist except for Ironhide himself. It was the same with his feelings for me and last night I could just feel every ounce of love he felt for me; it was quite a lot of love too and I knew then that it would never change.

He was my best friend in the whole wide world, aside from my dad, and there were just no words to describe the way I felt for him; there probably never would be for that matter and I was perfectly okay with that. Remember hearing the saying 'Actions speak louder than words'? Well, I believe that saying applied here.

The only thing about last night that I was really questioning was this: What twenty-one year old loses her virginity the day her sister and mother are buried? It truthfully would have made so much more sense if I was drunk as fuck, but right now I have no answer for it.

Once I was done with my shower, I got out, dried off and quickly got dressed. I left my wet hair down to dry and tossed my wet towel into its designated bin before leaving the bathroom to grab a pair of socks for my cold feet. I grabbed a pair of plain grey ankle socks and slid them onto my feet before heading out of my room. I skipped happily down the stairs and smiled as I saw my dad, Adalyn, Mikaela, and Ironhide's holoform sitting in the living room.

"Good morning my wonderful family and my wonderful mate," I greeted the group of people as I basically jumped from the last stair. Mikaela laughed and Adalyn gave me a look.

"It's like three o'clock, Lea," Mikaela told me.

I frowned, but quickly recovered. "Oh well."

"You seem exceptionally happy today," my dad teased. I smiled again and walked over to the kitchen.

"I am more than happy, but I'm also hungry, so hold on a moment," I told him as I walked over to the fridge to retrieve my leftover alfredo.

My happiness soon disappeared once I saw that my box of noodles wasn't on the shelf where it was supposed to be. Only my box of salad sat and I closed the fridge door before turning around to face the three humans that sat in the living room. One of them was about to get chewed out for eating my food.

"Where is my food at?" I asked as I placed my hands up onto the counter.

They each gave me a skeptical look and I rolled my eyes.

"Well, I haven't touched it. Leo on the other hand might have. He was heating up something not too long ago," Adalyn told me.

I should have figured.

"And where is he at?" I inquired.

"Upstairs in our room watching something on TV. It's probably porn so I would be careful," Mikaela answered.

My mouth opened up to say something but nothing came out. I only shook my head and headed back up the stairs, stopping when I came to Leo's, Adalyn's, and Mikaela's room. I shoved the door open and nearly screamed at the sight in front of me. Leo sat naked in the floor of the room with nothing but some strange ass turbine on his head. The worst part about this was the fact that he had multiple noodles wrapped around his "length" while a piece of shrimp sat on the head of it. There was also some foreign TV show playing on the TV. I was going to be mentally scarred forever.

Leo's eyes widened as he looked at me and I blinked.

"What in the actual fuck are you doing?" I yelled, a little too loudly.

"Um, I don't actually have an answer to that," he whispered, obviously still in shock that he had been caught.

"You're getting yourself off with noodles while watching a Mexican soap opera. What the fuck, Leo? This is my house and that's gross!" I yelled again. He didn't even respond. I was absolutely repulsed, so I just shut the door and ran back down the stairs.

"I take it you didn't get your food?" my dad teased. I just pouted and sat down in the floor, pulling my knees up to my chest and burying my head in my arms. I was being a bit melodramatic, but that was awful. I would never be able to unsee that.

"I never want to go through that again. That literally ruined my day," I grumbled.

"I told you to be careful," Mikaela chirped.

"No, you told me he was watching porn. I could've handled walking in on that, but what I can't handle is walking in on him wrapping noodles around his dick while watching a Mexican soap opera. What human does that? This is exactly why I hate all of you," I said to her.

Her and Adalyn just burst out laughing. I groaned and got up to sit down on the couch in between Ironhide and my dad who had rather amused looks on their faces.

"That isn't the first time he's done it. I walk in on him doing that all the time in college," Adalyn told me.

"You poor thing."

"Let's get down to business though. Why were you so happy this morning? It was strange. Yesterday you were ready to die and this morning you were ready to frolic through the daisies," my dad dad baited.

I pursed my lips and leaned into Ironhide's side.

"I had a dream. A good dream," I lied.

He laughed and held up the shirt that Ironhide had literally ripped off of my body last night, followed by my jacket he had thrown after taking it off of me. "Was it a good one?" he teased.

"You forgot to get rid of the evidence," I whispered to Hide as quietly as possible.

"It appears so," he responded.

I snatched the fabric from my dad's hands and put it behind my back.

"Now listen here, don't you dare start asking me questions about my personal life, William. I am a grown woman and I don't need that awkwardness in my life, okay?" I retorted.

He smirked and turned back to the TV. "Thanks for answering my question though."

"You're not too subtle, are you?" Hide mused.

"I can only do so much," I chuckled.

He only smiled at me and pulled me to his side. I happily wrapped my arm around the front of his torso and closed my eyes, only to open them again at the sound of my dad's voice.

"So, I have something to talk about with you and, well, everyone here," he started.

I looked at him, narrowing my eyes. "What? Are you going gay or something?" I baited.

He smacked me in the head. "Shut up and listen, you little virgin Mary," he shot back.

"Oh."

"So, first, I'm leaving. I'm going back home to begin packing up everything of your mom's and Annabelle's and then I'm coming back here and were going to head out to the Bahamas," he told me.

My eyes brightened and I nearly jumped off of the couch.

"Seriously?" Adalyn asked.

I shot her a look. "Shut up. You just came back. You don't get to be excited," I chided.

She stuck her tongue out at me. My dad, Ironhide, and Mikaela laughed at our little exchange.

"I'm nothing but serious about it. You really wouldn't believe how much money I earned from Sarah's and Annabelle's death. Not to mention, my men made a very generous donation to us and you gave me one-hundred grand, so yeah. I've got it made for about a year or two at the moment," my dad said to me.

"Who all is going?" Adalyn inquired.

"I planned it for everybody who was close to the family. I actually told several people last night while we were out to eat," he answered.

"You didn't tell me," Adalyn pouted.

"Because you are unimportant and he hates you," I teased.

"Shut the hell up, Lea," my dad laughed. Adalyn on the other hand looked more than ready to kill me. I only smirked at her and turned back to my dad.

"I have a critical question though. If the Autobots were to come, that would mean leaving their alt-forms here in Washington given the fact that the Bahamas is overseas. What am I supposed to do if I get attacked by a shark? This can't save me from a two ton monster who wants to bite my every limb off," I exclaimed as I waved Ironhide's arm in the air.

Ironhide immediately retaliated and wrapped me in a chokehold while my dad laughed.

"You punch it in the nose. That's what you do," William replied calmly.

At the moment I was struggling to breathe.

"I'll take that into consideration," I choked out. Hide let me go and this time he gently wrapped his arm around me, pulling me to his side. "So, you're coming with us, right?" I asked him.

"I believe I could possibly join you," he answered me.

"Hell yeah. When are we leaving?" I asked my dad.

"Well, it's going to take me about two to three weeks to get all of their belongings situated, plus I have to take care of a shit ton of bills and then we'll leave. I'd say maybe a month or so, but since I know how you are, you better get packing now," he instructed as he stood up.

I smiled and got up to hug him. "I'll see you soon, dad."

He pulled away from me and placed his hands on either side of my cheeks.

"It's just you and me now, kiddo. And that one over there," he teased as he gestured over to Adalyn. She just scoffed and got up, engulfing my dad in a hug. "I'll see you soon pipsqueak," he said to her.

"And I'll see you as well, gigantor."

He laughed and pulled away from her. "See you soon, kids," my dad parted.

He walked over to the door and picked up his suitcase that I hadn't even noticed was there in the first place. He waved to us before walking out of the door and I smiled before turning to Adalyn.

"So, you got laid, huh?" she smirked.

My smile dropped. "You're unbelievable," I retorted as I sat back down beside Ironhide.

She just laughed and sat down beside me. This was going to be a long ass month.
