XXI. Down Them

I wake up to a wooden ceiling. Yawning, I regained my conscience. Where am i? Why am I here?

As I was about to get up my body wouldn't budge. That's Probably because there's a man holding me to the bed.

Nothing serious. Lorenzo is all cuddling up with me, his head laying on my stomach and his arms around my waist as he snores.

Now that I look at him I realize the pressure being added to my lower body.

So deciding not to disturb his slumber I lay back down flat. I can't help but to think he probably had to stay up  most nights to do his job as a bodyguard and protect me, he deserves every ounce of sleep he can get.

Looking around now, I know where we are. Our childhood cabin. We used to come here during the summers, me and penny.

However I didn't come here for fun as he thought I did. I mostly came here to train combat and gun skills while Penny did normal stuff like swim in the lake or something.

"Morning, Pretty girl." Lorenzo says in a morning voice. "You know you sound like a creepy pet owner calling me that?" I arch a brow.

"You're right, I'll just stick with the other nicknames I have for you." He says. "You have more?" I perch up.

"Yea." He smiles. " yea, Darling, beautiful, ... Darling, beautiful." I drop my excited face.

"That's all you got."

"Yes? But words can't really describe you so I'm going to stick with pretty girl." i rolled my eyes at his immaturity.

"You're smiling." He says looking up at me. I play with his blonde strands of hair, "I am." We kept a good silence going on as I continued to play with his hair. 

Then my full consciousness came back to me so I stopped. "What? What's wrong ?" He looks back up to me. "It's fascinating how you can make me forget about everything for a minute."

"Get up, I have things to do." I finished. He smiles and rolls over on the bed off of me. I quickly sprint off the bed. Grabbing sweats from the suitcase I assume Lorenzo brought into this room.

And tying my frizzy hair into a slick bun because I have no time to attempt to do it and finally brushed my teeth.

Lorenzo was still on the bed watching me. "Brush your teeth and meet me outside." He nods and gets up.I walk outside the room, closing the door behind me, finding Penny and Averi in the living room  cuddled up on the couch.

Ew.

This is perfect, gives me enough time and quiet to plan what's next for us. All I know is kitrill's head will be hanging on my wall.

I'll start by finding every property he's ever owned and burning it for what he did to my house. Carefully, I made a plan for myself while they were sleeping.

The opening of the front cabin door disturbs my thoughts. My head turns swiftly in defense. But I quickly sigh as I realized it was just the blondie.

"When did you go outside?" I ask, crossing my arms. He just gave me a confused look while scratching his head. His hair is a little gelled than what it used to be.

''And where did you get hair gel?" I touch his hair a little. He slicks back the spot I touched, still speechless.

"And I told you to brush your teeth, not put a shirt on." I say lastly crossing my arms. I liked seeing him shirtless.

His eyes widened as he didn't know what to say but he quickly nodded and took his shirt off.

Hm.. his abs did not look like that ten minutes ago, they were a little more toned. Maybe he's getting fat?
