~The L word~
I wake up to someone pounding on the bedroom door. "Go away." Maddox groans cuddling into my chest.
"Hey assholes we were suppose to leave an hour ago." Maddie says.
He groans finally sitting up. He grabs his phone to check the time. "Shit." He gets up and I can't help but watch him as he packs his clothes while naked.
"Stop looking at me like that. You need to get dressed and packed." His back was to me so I don't know how he knew I was watching him.
I groan but get up anyway. I quickly get dressed and packed. I grab his hoodie which I claimed as my own. When we walk out everyone looks slightly annoyed.
"Sleep well?" Laura asks. They were hungover, I wanted to laugh.
"Very." I smile.
Maddox puts our bags in the car. "Dude how are you not hungover? You had more to drink than the rest of us." Maddie asks.
"High tolerance." He shrugs and we get into the car.
"Oh before we go I got everyone a gift." Since my smaller bag with the gifts were at my feet I easily disrupt them. I got Grace and Fay couple rings. Maddie got a cute top that says 'queen' because she is a queen.
Laura's was a shirt that said 'ask me about sex.' When Maddox looks over I frown.
"I must have forgotten about you." I say playfully.
"You already gave mine." His eyes flicker down to where the tattoo was.
"That isn't your gift. That was a dare." I roll my eyes.
"Was your dare some freaky kinky weird shit?" Laura asks.
"No." I hand him a box. He opens it to reveal a silver chain. On the back side there was an engraving of our initials.
When we stop at a light he puts it on and holds my hand.
"Seriously you two make me sick with all this lovey dovey crap." Laura groans.
"You're just jealous." Maddox says.
She remains quiet the rest of the way home. When I walk into the house, Reed immediately tackles me to the ground.
"I missed you! You'll never guess what dad got me for Christmas." He says excitedly.
"I can only imagine." I say pushing him off and getting to my feet.
"He got me a ps5." He says.
"Aren't those really expensive?" I ask nervously. I knew with are regular bills, plus the hospital bills, there was no way we be able to afford one.
"Welcome home sweetheart." Dad comes out and hugs me.
"Uh dad can I talk to you?" I ask.
"Sure we can go into the kitchen." I follow him into the kitchen where he was preparing a feast.
"First question. How did you afford a ps5? Second how did you afford all this food? Third, why do we need all this food?" I ask.
