Underground

Chapter 5

I felt a hand brushing strands of hair out of my face .

"Kasey, wake up."  Caden says

I groan and smack his hand away from me.
Caden chuckles and flops on the bed beside me .

"Why are you waking me up." I mumble into my pillow.

"You have to pack your clothes and it's already 12:00." Coach says

I snap my head up out of my pillow and look down at Caden.
"It's 12:00 already." I say grabbing at my phone.

I miss most of the phone and it flips into the floor.

"God damn motherfuck...." I say  flopping on my stomach and pushing half my body off the bed grabbing on to the phone.

I hold out my hand and tell Coach to help me up.

He takes hold of my hand and pulls me up and back into bed.

Once I'm laying down on my back I push my arm up into the air and hold my phone above my head .
I double tap my phone and see that the time is 12:09.

"Have you packed yet." I say looking over to Caden with one eye open one closed because of the sun coming through my open curtains.

"No, you always help me. Plus I'll probably forget something if I do it by myself."  He says

I roll my eyes but he is right.

"What time are we leaving the apartment?" I ask rolling out of bed and walking to the bathroom.

"5:30"he mumbles

I don't bother with the door and sit down on the toilet.
When I get down I wash my hands and walk back into my room .

I walk over to my closet and start digging to find my black suitcase. I pull it out and stand back up throwing it on my bed.

I unzip the suitcase and head toward my dresser.

" Is it going to be cold in New York?" I ask turning around to put 2 pair of Comfy shorts in my bag with 3 long black t-shirts.

I look up to see Caden looking down at my legs. I look down to see if there was a bruise or if I was bleeding but I wasn't .

"Caden."

He snaps out of what ever trance he was in and looks back up to my face.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

" I said is it going to be cold?"

"Oh, yeah it suppose to be cold so bring some hoodies and sweatpants." He says getting up and heading toward my closet to pull out 2 sweatpants and 2 hoodies.
He brings them over to me and places them on the bed.

I get everything that I might need and a little bit extra just to be sure I will be okay on cloths.

"Ok let's go pack your bag." I say walking toward Caden who is sitting on my bed messing with my phone doing who knows what.

I walk over beside him and look to see what he is doing.

"Really, pool?" I ask watching him sinking the 8 ball and lose the game.

"Shit." He says turning off the phone and plugging it up before turning toward me.

"How many coins did you lose?" I ask looking pissed.

The only reason I am is because he does big games and loses most of my coins that I have won back from the last time he lost them.
He doesn't say anything just stares at me.

He knows what I'm about to do because seconds from when my feet left the ground to jump across the bed to get my phone Caden grabs my hips and slams me into the mattress we're I'm on my back and he is hovering over top of me .

"Tell me." I demand

"I played a small game." He says amusement laced in his eyes.

"Don't lie to me. I will knee you in the balls." I say trying to get the butterfly's from flying around in my stomach to stop.

He leans down and whispers in my ear. "I dare you."

He pulls his head back slowly with a tiny grin on his face.

"Fine you big lug get off me." I say waiting for him to get up.

He takes his hands off my hips and starts to push himself off of me.

Nows my time!!!

I swing my knee up into his junk and before he can grab me i push my lower body into the air and back flip off of my bed just in time to see Caden grown and fall back on the bed .

"Shit, Kasey." He breaths out.

"You dared me you know not to do that." I say grabbing my phone to see what game he actual played.

I see that I only have 1,000 coins left when I had 30,000 not 10 minutes ago.

"Really" I say turning my phone off and putting it on my night stand.

"Sorry" he says holding his junk trying to breathe.

I don't fell bad he's had worse hits than that before and I didn't even use all my strength To knee him.

I walk back over to the side of the bed that he is on and look down at him.

"Come on we have to pack your bag up then leave." I say pulling at his shoulder to get up .

But being the asshole that he is he relaxes into his body weight and its like trying to pull a 1,000 pound brick out of my bed.

When I stop pulling his mouth kicks up into a smile.

"Come on big guy I don't have time to play games with you." I say thumping him in the forehead.

"Ok,ok let go pack my bag up." He says finally getting up.

We walk across the hall to his room and start packing everything that he needs for our 2 day trip.

"Ok I think that it I'm going to take a shower and then we can go get some lunch before we head to the airport." I say zipping his suitcase up.

"Ok darlin, I will take the bags out to the car." He says giving me a kiss on my forehead and picking his suitcase off the bed.

                              *************
By the time we get ready to leave it's around 4:30. We get dressed and get some lunch before heading to the airport.

Thank god we did get food before going to the airport because we have been standing, walking , and sitting for over 2 hours waiting for them to call out our flight number.

When they finally do me and Coach get on and find our seats to be In The back.

I take the window seat while he takes the isle seat and put on our seat belts.

I dig through my bag to see where I put my AirPods but I can't find them.
I take my phone and see if I can track them down and I see that I left them at home.

Shit

I lay my head on Caden's shoulder and close my eyes.

He turns his head and kisses the top of my head.

"You tired?" He whispers

I nod my head and snuggle my head further into his shoulder.

"Get some rest sweetheart, I'll be right here." He says laying his head on top of mine.

I close my eyes and listen to the flight attendant explain the rules and regulations.

30 minutes later we were taking off and heading toward New York.
