Chapter 8

Bexley

When I woke up I was tangled in Dereks arms again, he was so warm I just closed my eyes and laid still listening to his heartbeat. I heard commotion outside the door but I didn't move.
"Awe look at them, all cuddled up. He would be so good for her." I heard Ember whisper.
"Yes he would. That's not really an option though. It is funny because he is in love with her and his friend Beatrix is in love with him. He just doesn't notice because he focuses on Bex, in his defense it's hard to not love her. We all love her." He whispered. I felt Derek start to sti beneath me, I stiffened and turned my head up to speak to him quietly.
"Do not move yet. They are staring at us." I whispered. He smiled a sheepish smile before pulling me in closer to him. He knew I wouldn't resist because I'd give myself away for being awake and make the whole day awkward. It the back of my mind though I wondered who Beatrix was. When they disappeared I got up and out of bed and opened the door and windows letting in the fresh air and went to the bathroom to shower. When I was done I slid on a silky bathrobe that hung by the shower and walked out to the closet. Ember had gotten us matching outfits for rock climbing so I put mine on. It was a black and white marble set. A spandex sports bra/crop top and a pair of matching spandex shorts that sat in my mid thigh. I went to the mirror and blow dried my hair before throwing it up in a bun. Derek exited the bathroom when I finished my hair, he had showered and was now wearing a white shirt and a black pair of shorts. He smiled when he seen me causing me to blush lightly, I don't know why I blushed. We went to the kitchenette and looked around before Derek decided he would cook and I was to enjoy the swing since we'd be leaving tomorrow and I didn't argue.

He made scrambled eggs, cut fresh fruits and made some bacon, we sat and ate together. Veyron and Ember had left a note on the door that they were going to get breakfast and they were just getting back when we finished eating. Derek and I swung and the bed swing while they got ready our heads were on opposite ends but Derek had grabbed my foot and started massaging my feet and I just let him, I didn't look but I could feel him watching me as if studying everything about me. When everyone was ready Ember made us all take a picture together and she posted it on social media saying "Friendship trip: Yesterday swimming with sharks in the Bahamas, today rock climbing and zip lining, tomorrow paris here we come." We did just that, we went rock climbing which was harder than I expected and when we reached the top we zip lined back down. It took us 6 hours to climb to the top and make it back to the house. When we got back we decided we'd hit the out of water bar before going to bed but first dinner. We ordered steaks and salads for dinner and ate on the deck then Ember and I went to get ready.

Ember wore a white two piece summer beach set, the top was a spaghetti strapped cop top and the skirt was long on the left side ending just below her knee with a giant slit up her right leg and she wore some white strapped heels. I wore a white spaghetti strap cop top as well much like Embers and a pink floral print skirt that ended at my ankle on my left side and and a slit that ended mid thigh on my right side and I slipped on some white flipflops. We both curled our hair and did our makeup before leaving with the men who now both had on black dress pants and dress shirts, Veyrons was white and Dereks was light pink. We walked together to the bar it was open and pretty along the white sand beach, with a wooden dance floor under the star with small strobe lights flashing every so often but not too brightly and then there was the softly lighted bar. We all went straight to the bar and I started drinking strawberry and mango daiquiris and as the evening went on we started doing shots, one of which was called the pink panty remover. I don't even remember when I started feeling the drinks but Ember and I were way less sober than the guys. They just watched over us, talking as we danced and enjoyed ourselves. After a few hours of drinking and dancing Ember was tired and had called quits but I was having too much fun so Veyron took Ember home and I ordered another drink and convinced Derek to walk the beach with me. It was so pretty and peaceful, I loved it.

"I could live here, it's so pretty." I said quietly walking along side of Derek. I kept walking zig zag lines so Derek grabbed my hand to guide me.
"Even if I disappear for awhile because of Declan, promise you won't forget me." I whispered sadly. He stopped and stared at me wide eyed. "I am terrified even if I won't say it out loud. What if he decides to kill me?" I asked staring off. Derek wrapped his arm around my shoulder and started walking again.
"One I could never forget my best friend. Two we all know you're terrified but I will say you hide it well. Three if he kills you I will make it my life's mission to end him but he won't succeed in killing you." Derek said with a small, reassuring smile. I didn't realize until we made it to the house how tired I was. Derek left the windows open but shut the door and locked it since it was impossible to sneak through the windows. Derek helped me changed my clothes into pajamas and climbed into bed guiding me with as we laid down, I felt at ease. We cuddled up and covered up but before I fell asleep I looked at him and said one last thing before falling asleep.
"I do not know who Beatrix is but I do know why she loves you. Beatrix would be the luckiest girl alive to love and be loved by you." I felt Derek run his fingers through my hair and then it was dark for me. When I woke in the morning I felt funny but didn't open my eyes. I felt Derek below me but I didn't even try to move right away. When I attempted to open my eyes I didn't recognize the view, it wasn't where I had been staying so I sat up quickly. I was panicking.
