The Hug Life

Chapter 8

Sasha turned on Cars and ordered pizza just like she said. She and Bayley dug into the pizza as the movie began. Once they finished the pizza, Bayley cuddled into Sasha. Sasha wrapped her arms around her as tightly as possible. Bayley grabbed a plush blanket and covered them both. Bayley looked behind her to Sasha. She quickly placed a kiss on her cheek.

"What was that for?" Sasha asked.

"For listening. You're right. I do feel better. It's time to forget the past, and enjoy the present. Cause right now I have the Boss." Bayley smiled.

"And I have the Hugger." Sasha smiled back.

The front door opened to reveal a livid Charlotte and a tense Becky. As soon as Charlotte laid eyes on Bayley she ran over and hugged Bayley as tightly as she could.

"Bayley, I'm so sorry! I should've knocked her teeth down her throat!" Charlotte exclaimed crushing Bayley.

"No, Charlotte. I shouldn't have run. I just didn't expect her to show up out of the blue. Besides if you punched her lights out, I'm not so sure we could've bailed you out of jail."

"That's what I told her! Lass I spent almost everything I had to get here! How was I going to get you out of prison? Look Bayley-Wayley is alright. Cuddled up with Sasha and watching Cars. Just like I said she would be." Becky sighed.

"Charlotte, Becky's right. I feel a lot better now, but I'm exhausted. We will talk about your murder plan in the morning. Let's go Sasha."

Sasha scrambled off the couch to catch up to Bayley. They cuddled together in Bayley's amazing bed.

"I meant what I said. This doesn't change anything Bayles." Sasha said breaking the silence.

"I know, but it's going to take time. It's part of my past that I never want to revisit."

"I understand, but we will get through this." Bayley hummed in agreement.

In seconds, Sasha could hear the deep rhythmic breathing of Bayley. It eventually lulled her to sleep too.

Sasha's phone buzzed in her pocket waking her up. Who the hell is brave enough to text me at 7 am? She pulls out her phone to see a text from Evan.

Hey, are you coming home today? -EV Black

I don't know. Maybe. Why what's up?

Alexa just called, and her car broke down. I'm heading out with the tow truck to pick her and her car up. I'm going to need help with the paperwork. -EV Black

I'll be home soon. See you there.

"Hey Bayley, wake up."
