My Sweets

Singles Rule

JESSA

The lights flick on and Bobby grumbles, "No! Five more minutes, mom." I suck in a breath as I realize his hand is resting on my boob. It must have found it's way there while we were sleeping. Bobby realizes it the same time I do. He chuckles and gives it a good squeeze then pinches my nipple. I swallow my moan. Now he's turning me on. My body is flaming for him. He nuzzles my neck, placing small kisses there.

Graham calls out, "Rise and shine everyone. It's another beautiful day in paradise."

Lottie snots back at him. "That's easy for you to say since you're all happy and safe in a couple. I'm going back to sleep. Don't wake me unless there is a fire or recoupling."

Bobby's hand slides down my side. "Boop." He boops my nose and pulls me close. "Lottie's just grouchy because she can't embrace the one good thing about being single; sleeping like a starfish spread out wide."

I giggle at him. "Technically that only works if you have the bed to yourself. She did share with Gary last night." Which is hardly single since she wants to be with him. Though, maybe she's so grouchy because things didn't go good between them last night.

"Hmm. Point taken. Actually, you sleep like that even with me in bed. Though you're less starfish and more like an octopus." Bobby smiles through a yawn, causing me to yawn too.

"Sleeping next to you last night was perfect. The only thing missing was my new comfy t-shirt and socks. You're not getting them back."

"What? Those socks are my favorite."

"They're my favorite now too." I kiss his nose and crawl out of bed.

"No, Lass, don't leave me!" He dramatically flails around. I laugh as I walk out of the room. I quickly change into a hot pink bikini and head to the roof terrace for some fresh air. I'm on cloud nine, but this has been an extreme shift of emotions. I just need a moment to myself. I see Marisol sitting on the bench and almost turn around to leave, but she waves me over.

"Good morning, Jessa! Isn't it such an amazing and beautiful morning?"

I nod, but Lottie rushes out onto the terrace before I can respond. "Quick girls," she urgently says. "War council on the roof terrace starting immediately."

"We're already on the roof terrace," Marisol points out.

"Right. I know. The other girls will be here soon."

"I thought you were going back to bed," I say to her.

"What? No Jessa. Get your head in the game. We don't have time to sleep if we're going to figure out what happened."

Hope and Pyria soon join us. Lottie authoritatively says, "Ladies, we have important business. We need to figure out what the boys got up to while we were gone. We just have hints and glimpses. Not the full picture. Like what was that Noah stuff about doing bits?"

Hope nods sadly. "I tried talking to Jacob about it, but he was really shady and it just left me more confused."

I cut in to share what I know. "While talking with some boys last night, it was mentioned that someone else did jump right in bed with a girl, besides Hendrick. So according to them, at least one other guy was immediately up to no good. Bobby said he didn't do anything and I trust him."

"Hmmm," Lottie thinks. "We need to split up and ask around."

Chelsea rushes onto the terrace. "What? Did I miss the start of the war council? Oh bugger. I can't believe it."

"We literally just had one a couple days ago," Marisol says.

Chelsea adamantly shakes her head no. "That was a girl council. This is a war council. It's completely different."
