I felt the sting and glared at her.

"Pray tell, what the fuck was that for?"

"You made Steven break up with me! If you wouldn't have come back with the damn child then none of this would have happened!!"

I scoffed. "Excuse me, but this is my home. I know sure as daylight that you are not from Hawaii. And you do not live at this house. So if you don't get the fuck off of my property then I will personally kick your ass."

Her face paled as I narrowed my eyes at her. She gulped a little before walking to her car and speeding off. My hands were clenched so tight that my knuckles had turned white and they popped. Rif took Selene's hand and led her to the girls.

"Take her inside. Dea's pissed."

Selene followed the group inside as Rif and Mika looked at me. I took very deep breaths to try and calm my nerves before speaking to the pair of man in front of me.

"Tonight's supposed to be a killer storm. I can already see it and feel it. So make sure you do not let her outside."

"Dea?" Rif asked.

"I need to cool off." I told them, opening the truck door. "I'm going to the cove."

"Those waves could kill you!" Kono gasped.

I nodded. "I know that. And they almost have once before. Rif, Mika, remember what you promised."

They nodded.

"We do." Mika said. "We'll make sure she's taken care of."

I sent them a smile before climbing into the truck and flooring it to the cove. Most of the time, this cove was open to surfers and swimmers. But when any type of storm was brewing they closed it off because of the monster waves. But when your someone like me you always find a way around the rules. I slipped off my covering clothes and took my board out to the water while it rained. The waves had already started churning and beating the shore and the rocks around the cove. I heard sirens and saw flashing lights from Steven and his team, but I was already in the water. I got up on the wave but was thrown off a second later.

I kept going back at it until I finally grabbed the wave and stayed up. I tore up the next few waves until the water splashed wrong and I went down. I was under for a few minutes before I got back up next to the shore. I layed down on the sand as the water washed over my legs and my stomach. My whole body was in pain again like it was when I was a teenager. I pushed myself up and went to the side of my truck; leaning against it. Steven was next to me in a second's notice.

"Are you fucking insane!?" He asked.

I put my head on his shoulder as he stood in front of me. I mumbled my words.

"Yep."

"Are you okay?"

I chuckled. "Still worried about me I see."

"I've always been worried about you."

His body gave me warmth in the rain and I noticed how close he was. My body decided now was a good time to crash after our adventure and I almost fell to the ground. But Steve picked me up bridal style and took me to his truck. He locked my truck after grabbing my keys and my phone before looking to his team.

"I'm going to take her home. See you guys in the morning."

They nodded and I watched through tired eyes as he got in and started driving. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them again to find Steven laying me down in my bed. I saw him sort through my clothes and hand Jade and Ava my shorts and one of his old shirts that I kept. He rubbed the back of his neck.

"I'll um... I need to talk to Selene."

Ava nodded. "Down the hall, two doors to the left."

He left the room and they helped me change. A few seconds after they got me back into the bed, Steven stuck his head in.

"Is she asleep?"

"Not really." Jade told him.

He nodded. "Okay. Well, I guess I'll talk to you guys later."

"No." I told him.

All three of them looked at me and he came to my side. I sent a look to the other two and they left.

"Steve, don't leave me here."

"This is your house." He whispered.

"But I don't want to be alone."

He sighed and brushed my hair back.

"Are you sure?"

"Mhm."

He nodded and kicked off his shoes before crawling into the bed with me. I cuddled into his side under the covers as he brushed the hair away from my face. I felt his arm on my waist which kept me planted next to him. I tilted my head up and looked at him.

"Steve?" I asked.

He looked at me. I was almost asleep so the words I was saying might have made him think that I wasn't thinking straight. But I knew full well that the next words coming out of my mouth were the 100% truth.

"I love you."

Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning by myself. I groaned a little and looked around. Steven's shoes were gone, and the bed was missing him. I got up and changed quickly, putting on a green shirt with blue roses on it before I jogged down the stairs. And what I saw in the back yard was to say the least, fucking shocking. Selene, Steven and the gang were talking and laughing. I rubbed my head with a confused look. Because I am sure I didn't smoke anything before I went to bed... I shook my head and walked out. Selene turned and smiled at me.

"Afternoon mom!"
