Wounded

Chapter Ten

"So how long have you two been dating?" Jack asked.

"Just this week. But we met before I started at 19." You told him.
"I knew Bishop was in a better mood than usual. I'm glad you make her happy. She deserves it."
"Yes she does. She's amazing." You said, looking over at her playing beer pong.

"Babe! Come be my partner." She shouted over to you.

You walked over to her, Jackson stopping you along the way, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Jackson I'm fine. Stop worrying. I'm a big girl." You shrugging him off and went to stand next to your girlfriend.

A few rounds later, you had a nice buzz.
You sat down on the couch with a glass of water, watching your friends and girlfriend continue playing.
"You okay?" Andy asked, sitting next to you.
"Yeah, I just got a nice buzz. I'll be fine after this glass of water." You told her.
"You don't drink much, do you?" She asked.
"Nah. Not since my Dad died. I took it too far when I found out he died. I know how to control it now though."
"I understand that. I did some dumb things when my Dad died. It just hits you hard." Andy said with a small smile.
"Amen. You go party though. I'm fine."
She got up and walked back over to the group.

Thirty minutes later, you were feeling much better. So you walked out on the deck, and found Maya looking out at the ocean.
"Hey beautiful. What are you doing?" You asked, hugging her from behind.
"Just taking a break from the noise." She pressed back into you.
"I'm so glad we can be ourselves in front of the team. It feels better than hiding it."
"Me too Y/N. Because I don't want to hide you. I really, really care about you." She turned in your arms to face you.
"And I care about you." You leaned in and gave her a kiss.

The kiss grew deeper, she wrapped her hand up in your hair.
You moaned gently into her mouth.
"God I love it when you do that." She pulled your hair tighter.

The two of you heard cheering from the inside, and turned to look.
"Go Bishop!" Andy shouted while laughing.

"They'll never stop now." Maya laughed quietly.
"Let's go inside. We can go to bed in a little bit." You said winking at her.

You two walked in, and she went back to playing beer pong.
Jackson walked up next to you, "She seems nice."
"She really is. She's perfect."
"Do you love her?" He asked.
"It's a little too soon to be talking about love." You laughed out.
"You usually fall hard and fast. I just don't want you getting hurt. She's the first person you've dated since-"
"I know. She knows."
"You told her?"
"Everything. I don't know, I just feel like I can tell her anything." You said, watching her throw her head back laughing.
"I'm happy for you sis. Vic and I are about to go to bed. I have to leave tomorrow."
"Goodnight. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." You joked.

Within an hour, everyone had gone to their bedrooms to sleep off their drunkenness.
"Are you ready?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, I'm really tired." You said yawning.
"Let's go to bed." She took your hand and led you into the bedroom.
You stripped off your clothes, and laid in bed.
"Maya, come cuddle me." You said tiredly.

She laid in the bed, and pressed into your back.
"I'm so happy I found you." She mumbled into the back of your neck.
