Acacia Mcknight

When we reached the campsite, in the forest, Damien placed his hand on the small of my back as I took out my blankets and fancy pillows.

I had carried all my things because if I dont sleep with Damien, I need to sleep with something else. So pillows were just perfect. He didn't seem too happy with it though.

It's a perfect little world!

"Acacia, hi!" Christie chimed and hugged me tightly, pulling me from Damien.

Omg! She's back!

He smiled and caressed my back as both I and Christie hugged the life out of each other.

"You don't know how much I missed you!" I smiled and pulled away as she turned to Damien.

"Hello, baby brother" Damien rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. I held back on a round of laughter.

Hahaha! Baby!

"Hi, Christie" he whispered and I turned to Liam.

"Liam! I missed you too" He laughed as I hugged him too.

I missed them all so much!

Just as I pulled away from Liam, I heard Christie ask, "Are we getting a surprise soon?"

Huh? Cass, don't think about it! We are broke! As always.

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Damien but he seemed confused, "It's not your birthday, nor anniversary, what surprise are you expecting?"

Christie giggled and exclaimed, "A baby! My baby brother's baby, of course"

Wyattttttt!

I nodded, "Ah, she's talking about her baby brother- What!" I yelped and Damien's cheeks reddened.

"Don't ask me again, Christie. Ever again"

Is hottie pissed off? Hehe! He looks hotter, angry.

Christie teasingly looked at me and said, "Have I ever told you how much Damien loves kids? He wants to have a son, I am sure he told you"

Hahaha, we never talked about kids. Damien acts so weirdly every time I ask him. Weirdo!

"Stop teasing them, Christie, bring them in" I heard mom's voice come from behind the trees and I smiled brightly.

Christie laughed and pulled me inside, "Acacia, careful"

I briefly turned and smiled at Damien, mouthing an "I am okay"

He is so protective over me and he knows how clumsy I am, so I am very glad he looks after me.

He's so cute and caring.

"Mom! Mama!" I exclaimed and hugged them both as they laughed, rubbing my back.

I kissed both their cheeks and then I felt an arm gently slither around my waist. I turned around to see Damien smiling at our parents and greeting them.

After we settled down, we had played several games. Damien and Tristan wouldn't stop quarrelling but it ended in them laughing super hard. My legs felt cramped and cold from sitting for too long so I stood up and said,

"I'll go get the blankets, do you guys need something?"

Why are you even asking? Weren't you so lazy!

Tristan shook his heads, Damien wasn't with us because he had a phone call to attend and Christie just smiled, asking,

"Should I come with you, Acacia? Do you need help? The blankets are heavy"
