Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,138
hole!” He yells as he chucks it in Luc’s direction.
I fall about laughing as Luc tries to move out of the way only to move in the wrong direction and for it to land on his face.
“Fuck sake!” he grumbles. “How do you do that?” he grouses and Jensen smile proudly.
“Just protecting my girlfriend” he practically gloats.
“Dude, she’s my girlfriend too!” Luc chuckles sounding slightly exasperated.
“Semantics” Jensen replies waving his hand dismissively and making the rest of us laugh as Luc rolls his eyes.
“Fuck, that’s cold” he says as he shakes his head as a shiver works through his body.
“Let’s head back before Luc gets ill” I suggest. “I’ll make soup and rolls for lunch?”
“Sounds really good, Sunshine” Riot agrees as he steps up beside me and wraps an arm around my shoulder as we start the trek down the steep hill.
“Want some help?” Rafe asks from behind me.
“Always” I reply, looking over my shoulder to smile at him and in the process missing my footing and nearly taking both myself and Riot down. The only thing that saves us is Riot’s strength.
“Fucking hell that was close” Trick curses from behind me.
“Ok note to self don’t look behind yourself when walking down a super steep hill and nearly take one of your boyfriends down with you” I mutter and Riot chuckles quietly the others too focused on their own decent to hear me.
“I like it when you call us your boyfriends” he says.
“Me too” I admit, “I’d kiss you now but I think that might be a death wish” I add and Atlas is close enough behind us now that both him and Riot burst out laughing.
“It’s alright, Sunshine. You can owe me” he smirks and shake my head a smile on my lips.
We finally make it back to the cabin and literally just before I step through the front door, a snowball hits the back of my head and icy snow starts to drip down the back of my neck.
“Luc!” I screech as I run through the door and quickly start to strip off to get the snow off me.
He bursts out laughing, the other hyena’s joining in.
“I hope you realise this means war, Luci” I threaten grinning savagely as soon as I’ve pulled all my layers off so I’m stood in just the navy blue, lace bra that Rafe picked out for me this morning, he gulps once before grinning.
“Looking forward to it Firecracker” he says.
I become aware of the heated stares on me and smirk.
“I’m going to get changed, I’m freaking freezing now” I mock glare as I stick my tongue out at Luc.
“I’ll start the soup” Rafe chuckles as the guys all disperse.
I rush up the stairs and grab a towel to dry off my back before fishing a black tank top and red, loose, long sleeved top out of bag, pulling them on before I add Riot’s hoody over the top. Which gives me an idea, I’m going to have to try and see if I can pinch one of Atlas’s hoody’s before we go. I am woman enough to admit that I will be wearing it as often as possible until I see him again. I’m, not even slightly embarrassed.
The conversation up by the waterfall about our phones reminds me that I haven’t actually checked mine for a while. I grab it off my bedside table where it’s been on charge this entire time and boot it up as I walk down the stairs. I frown when it finally boots up and I have multiple missed calls from an unknown number as well as some from Jenny and some messages.
Before I can click on any messages to see what they’re about my phone starts to buzz in my hand and Jenny’s name flashes up on the screen, I answer as I step into the sitting area and the guys turn to me.
“Hey, Ever Sweet Girl” she greets me her voice sounding equal parts mad and worried, “did you get my messages?”
“No my phones been upstairs. I haven’t checked it for a while” I say a sick churning feeling in my stomach.
“Ok, I have some news. Put me on speaker?” she asks.
“Sure” I frown and the guys all look at me concerned. I press a couple of buttons and hold my phone away from my ear as Trick pulls me down onto the couch next to him, Rafe coming from the kitchen to join us.
