My biggest mistake

Chapter twenty-six

Maeve

"Maeve, wake up! We need to start getting ready!" Atlas says shaking me gently.

I let out a groan and bring over my head. "Five more minutes!" I mumble with my eyes closed.

I feel the bed moving and the covers are yanked away from me, bright light invading my eyes.

"What are you doing?!" I say covering my eyes with my hand.

"Come on, we have a plane to catch it's already 3:15, we're going to be late!"

I let out a groan and stand up from the bed scratching my eyes. I spend the night at Atlas's so they didn't have to come and get me from my house. We're going to Monaco, after all, Atlas wasn't joking when he told me that I'm going with him and his family on vacation.

I wash my face with cold water trying to make myself a little more presentable. It's three in the fucking morning and I went to bed at midnight, I'm not sure I can do anything to stop looking like a zombie.

I get the toothbrush I left at Atlas's and I start brushing my teeth half asleep and leaning on the sink.

"Come on, love. Rise and Shine! We're going to Monaco!" Atlas says from behind me and I raise my eyes to look at him in the mirror. I frown. How the fuck is he so fresh in at this hour?

After brushing my teeth I grab my clothes from the desk and start getting dressed. I'm not wearing anything fancy, just a pair of leggings, an oversized white shirt, and Atlas's dark blue hoodie. I leave my hair tucked under the hoodie, I straighten it yesterday and it got a little wavy because my boyfriend loves playing with my hair.

I grab my phone from the nightstand and place it inside my backpack along with my charger and AirPods.

"You got everything?" Atlas asks grabbing our backpacks.

I take a look around the room and bathroom and I nod my head.

"Let's go," he says and I open the door and close the lights.

We already took the suitcases to the car last night, so we don't have to do it right now. There are only four. Mine, Atlas's, Eleanor's, and Alexander's, he and Michael share the same luggage.

Atlas leaves the backpacks next to the front door and we join the others in the living room. Everyone is dressed comfortably. Eleanor and Alexander are wearing sweatpants with a sweater and sneakers. Atlas has a similar outfit except he's wearing a hoodie and his beloved Jordan's. After all, we are going to have a fourteen-hour flight, only a crazy person would wear anything else than comfortable clothes.

"You ready?" Eleanor asks taking a sip from her coffee.

"Yes, we left the backpacks at the door" Atlas answers while we sit down on the couch.

"Alex, darling, we have everything?" she asks turning to look at her husband.

"Yes, we have Maeve's passport, Atlas's, Michael's, yours, and mine. The flight tickets are online so we don't have to worry about them. It's 3:30, we take off in exactly two hours, we should get going to make sure we get there in time."

We are going to take Atlas's care since it's more spacious and the suitcases fit better.

Alexander takes the driver's seat with Eleanor next to him, while Atlas, Michael, and I sit in the back.

Mike sits in the middle even though my boyfriend had something to add about not sitting next to me. There's going to be just a ten minutes drive since do early and there's no traffic.
