Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,48

never know.

“I finally found the suitcase, mom had no idea where it was and just kept suggesting random places, dad thought it was hilarious” Trick huffs as he hauls the giant suitcase in.

Definitely big enough. He pauses as his eyes land on my bed and then groans.

“You’re killing me Sweetheart” he scrubs a hand over his face, his eyes darting from me to the underwear. He takes out his phone and snaps a picture of all the colourful lace.

“Why?” I ask smirking as I watch him type.

“It would be completely unfair not share this with the guys” he says before adding, “they need to be tortured by what you’ll be wearing under your clothes on this trip, would be totally un-fair if it was only me” he grumbles.

I burst out laughing, walking over to him and kissing him slowly savouring every second. Just before it gets too heated I step back and nudge him out the door whilst he’s still distracted.

“I’ve got to pack the presents and I don’t want you to see, I’ll call you back when I’m done” I tell him and chuckle as he grumbles.

I reach under the bed and pull all the presents out packing them carefully into the suitcase. I also add wrapping paper, tape and bows so I can wrap Trick's new present. I do pack his old one just in case I change my mind about giving it to him though. Once everything’s packed I stack it near the wall next to my bedroom door ready to take down and then quickly change into my pyjama’s. It took me embarrassingly long to pack and it’s getting late. Since we have to get up early tomorrow I want to get to sleep early. I am not an early morning person.

Once ready I start to yell for Trick but I’ve got no idea how Jenny and Rob would react to him being in my room and to be honest I don’t want to risk them telling him he can’t stay with me so instead I hop into bed and text him. Answering text’s from the guys as I wait, I’m asleep before he even enters the room.

Chapter Twelve

“Ever come on, it’s time to get up” Trick says sweetly, kissing my cheek.

“No” I grumble.

“Come on Angel, get up” Jensen says sounding far too awake and amused for this time in the morning.

Wait why is Jensen here?

Deciding it’s too early for me to really give a shit, I stick my hand out from under the covers and flip him my middle finger.

There’s the sound of loud laughter from more than one of the guys. I groan and stick my head out from under the covers glaring at all of them which they seem to find hilarious and not at all threatening like I had intended.

“Something to remember guys” Riot chuckles, “Ever does not do mornings any earlier than seven” the guys all chuckle.

My glaring at them still seems to have no effect whatsoever. As my eye’s travel over them I spot an equally grumpy and scowling Luc. I open up the side of the covers and point to him, crooking my finger in a come here motion. He grins sleepily and my heart lurches at the sight. He practically stumbles towards me and before the guys have realised what’s happened, he’s under the covers with me. His head buried in my neck, both arms wrapped around my waist as mine are wrapped around his shoulders holding him to me, my leg moves up and around his hip and we both breathe a sigh of contentment.

“What the fuck” Jensen exclaims, as he finally gets his laughter under control. “When the fuck did that happen?” he asks sounding perplexed.

“When did what happen?” Trick says his voice getting louder as he moves towards the bed from wherever he went. “Oh for fuck sake Luc, that is not helping” he says sounding more than a little bit exasperated. “Which one of you fuckers let him snuggle, he hates early mornings apparently as much as she does” he says but there’s no heat to it and actually he sounds amused as fuck.

“Ever, if you get up I’ll get you the biggest hazelnut mocha we can find with an extra shot of coffee, and cake for breakfast too” Riot tries to cajole me out of bed.

I must admit it semi works. Luc’s arms tighten around me.

“That nearly worked” Rafe chuckles.

“Let me try” Cash offers, his voice is decidedly sinful, and I instantly perk
