Life is a Rollercoaster

Chapter 9

The first thing I sense when I wake up is the slight pressure of a body close behind me. Well, not just close, but pressed up against me close.

My eyes are still closed, but when I open them, I see a muscular arm draped over my waist. Sure, I was scared, but I couldn't just move. Yes you can. I lifted my free left hand- my right one under the pillow my head rested on- and gripped the arm. Tingles were felt along my arm, and I instantly knew who it was.

I bet Bretton felt the same connection, and started to stir behind me, mumbling nonesense that made me erupt in a fit of giggles. I slapped my hand across my mouth, I didn't want to wake him up.

Eh, I think my laughter was too loud.

"Good morning." Bretton mumbled, tightening his grip around my waist, his voice groggy from just waking up.

"Morning." I twisted my body around to face him. I let out a gasp as he had no shirt on, his six-pack on full show. I didn't know why, but I had a sudden urge to place my hand on his abdomen. This guy sure is making me think weird...

When I slowly trailed my gaze up to Bretton's face, I noticed he had a wide smirk on his lips. Groaning, I flipped around and jumped off the bed. "Did you like what you saw?" He called after me, as I entered the bathroom.

I let out a small laugh. "I've seen better!" I tease. As I heard him growl, I slammed the bathroom door closed, locking it before he could make it to the door. 

"Who?" He growled, obviously he didn't know it was a joke.

"I was just kidding! I hardly ever talked, or seen the body of  the male species!" I went to the bathroom, and washed my hands before entering the shower, letting the hot water sooth my muscles.

When I finished, leaving the bathroom wrapped in a towel, I see some girl's clothes sitting on the bed. They seemed about my size, so I put them on. When I looked in the mirror, I see a girl with blond curls, -slightly damp from the shower-stopping an inch below my shoulders, striking blue eyes, with a grey Aero sweatshirt, and faded baby blue skinnies that beheld slight tears on the knees. I shrugged to myself in the mirror, and exited the room, heading to the kitchen. I finally knew the path to the kitchen by heart- don't get me wrong, but the kitchen is one of my favorite places so it wouldn't suprise me if I knew the way to the kitchen first.

No one was in the kitchen, and I was guessing Bretton was in his office, so I grabbed a granola bar from the top cabinet, and headed to that exact place. 

Hearing three voices in the office, owned by Bretton, Braxton, and Chad, I decided to wait outside. I didn't pay attention to what they were saying, it wasn't my business, though the oppurtunity was in the air to eavesdrop, and it was really tempting. I focused on my blue polka-dot socks, thinking about when I would be returning to school, or when the girls would come to the house and visit. I guess I had to admit that I was a little excited to have friends.

"Lea, you can come in." I jumped about 5 feet in the air at the mention of my name, I turned to face Chad, who was poking his head out into the hallway, facing me. 

"O- oh." I rushed into the room, looking at Bretton, and Braxton deep in conversation. When Bretton felt my presence, he stopped, and turned to face me. "Hi." I waved.

I couldn't help but notice as Bretton skimmed my body. "Like what you see?" I mimicked what he said earlier, and laughed as his cheeks turned a light pink. "What are you guys talking about?" I changed the subject, not wanting to embarrass Bretton any further than I already have. 

"Patrols." He sat down in his office chair, turning back to Bretton, who was talking to Chad.

"Yes, Beta." Chad nodded, heading out the door. I turned to Bretton quizzically.
