Chapter 75 : Madelyn Sunday, September 12th, 2021
I haven't left their house in two days, and while I wouldn't yet consider it moving in, I did end up having to go to Hailey's to grab my computer because they didn't make it sound like I was leaving tonight either.
Telling them I loved them was no small thing for me, and with everything else that was happening, they refused to let me wander anywhere without them somewhere close apart from the bathroom.
Just spending the weekend with them has let me see an entirely different side of them, and it was one I could definitely get used to.
Like seeing Alec in the morning with messy hair in the kitchen, cooking us all breakfast and fussing over me like a mother hen. And then there was Xavier who no matter what got up at the ass crack of dawn to work out in the gym downstairs, coming back sweaty, hot and delicious.
However Caleb the most like me, sleeping in and spending the first hour of consciousness cuddling and drinking the coffee we took turns making. His voice was always so tired in the mornings, and there was nothing quite like him whispering I love you in my ear when we first woke up.
It's fair to say I feel like I'm on cloud nine as of recently, and while I woke up alone today, I had no complaints because it was accompanied by the delicious smell of something filling my senses from downstairs.
I smelt bacon, and that was encouragement enough to force me out of Alec's bed—the one I fell asleep in last night.
At some point in the night I faintly remember Xavier coming in to spoon me from behind without a single word, but his side was cold when I woke up and I'm not actually sure that Caleb slept last night.
Something to do with finishing up something for work and considering he didn't specify, I assumed it was mafia business.
If it weren't for Alec joining me in his bed after I'd taken a long bath, I don't think my mind would've calmed enough to fall asleep.
I couldn't pin it exactly, but yesterday felt a bit off with all three of them, even though nothing coherently seemed wrong. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I hoped that if something was truly wrong, they'd come to me now if they needed it.
I suppose I'll just have to wait and see.
Walking out of the room wearing the silky pajama set Caleb had picked out for me the night before, I smoothed down the uncombed strands of my hair with lazy movements. The smell of breakfast only got stronger the farther I got down the hall, my stomach rumbling with interest in response.
"It's my dad." I hear Alec's voice speak from the main floor, strained and clearly unhappy at the continuous ringing of his phone. I just make it to the stairs when I see him stepping out onto the balcony, the sun of the day already bleeding deep into the sky.
