My biggest mistake

Chapter seven

Maeve

My nose is filled with Atlas's cologne. I slightly open my eyes and I realize that I have my head resting on his chest. I raise my head and I almost jerk away when I see that he is hugging me. I must've moved while I was sleeping. I always do that.

Outside is still dark. I get his hand away from me and I turn to the other side or at least that's what I thought. I fall to the ground wrapped in the covers. My back hurts. I let out a hiss and Atlas's head pops from the bed. He looks at me half asleep.

"What are you doing there?" he asks with a deep voice.

"Just checking for dust," I say as I stand up. "Move to your side," I tell him as I sit back down, putting the covers on both of us.

I stay on my back trying to fall asleep when he wraps one of his hands around my waist.

God, this man!

~~~

I get woken up by the knocking at the door. I open my eyes and I see that I'm alone in bed. Atlas might be in the bathroom. I get up from the bed half asleep, the hair tie falls from my hair.

"What?!" I say when I open the door and I see Kai and Jake.

"Come to breakfast, we need to get ready for the hike!" Jake says and as soon as he finishes I close the door in his face.

"Not a morning person, huh?" Atlas says from behind me.

I walk past him and get into the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face.

When I get out I see that I'm alone. Thank God! I get from my bag a pair of thick leggings- it's going to be cold- a long sleeve blue shirt and of course a hoodie, I could live in this kind of outfit. I put on socks and my hiking shoes, I let my hair down. I take my phone and go downstairs.

"I am surprised, you made breakfast and the house didn't burn," I say as I seat at the table.

"You ready to go on a hike?" Grey asks. Hikes are our favorite thing to do.

"More than ready"

"How was your night, Winter?" Kai asks playfully.

"Wonderful, especially when I couldn't breathe from Atlas's perfume." I say unamused.

They all laugh.

They are all wearing the same thing; hoodies and sweatpants. All except Isaac, he wears a grey sweater.

"Did you bring your vest?" Grey asks me as we are almost ready to leave.

"I don't own a vest," I tell him.

"You're going to be cold," he says as he puts his on.

Atlas comes next to me and hands me one. "Take this, I have two"

Of course he has two.

I grab it and put it on. I take the beanie I brought and put it on top of my head.

Grey and Jake have two backpacks in which we've put sandwiches, bottles of water, and portable chargers.

We lock the house and head to the cars.

"We're taking just one car?" I ask as we head to Grey's jeep.

"Yep," he says as he puts the backpacks in the trunk.

"We don't fit," I say as they get in the car. Grey takes the driver's seat, and Isaac sits in the front next to him. Behind Grey sits Jake in the middle Kai and I am assuming that Atlas will sit behind Isaac.
