Chapter 5.

Sweet Pea's P.O.V

I wake up and see Karisma is still sleeping with her head resting on my chest and her arm around me. I smile at how precious and peaceful she is when she isn't worried about everyone and everything around her. I look at the clock on the wall to see it's only seven am and I grab my phone to see I have a message from Fangs:

F: Hey bro, wanna hang out?
S: Sorry dude, I'm busy today
F: It's that Karisma girl, isn't it?
S: Maybe...
F: Get it, bro! Have fun but not too much fun 😏

I lock my phone rolling my eyes at Fangs, putting it back down on the bedside table.

"Comfortable?" A voice says quietly from the doorway and I look over to see FP standing there, a smirk plastered on his face.

"All we did was sleep, I swear."

"It's ok, Sweet Pea, I know." He pauses. "Karisma is very important to me, I think of her as my kid. I'll allow this because she is happy with you, but if you hurt her... I will kill you" FP says, half-joking but still serious, and I nod. Then he walks off and leaves the trailer. I'm guessing he's going to Whyte Wyrm or someplace with other Serpents. I look back at Karisma as she rolls over to lay on her side, facing the wall.

Karisma's POV

I wake up, blinking a few times to let my eyes adjust to the light from the sun shining throw the thin curtain. I roll over to see Sweet Pea sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the picture on the wall. A smile tugs at the corners of my mouth at how he's still here and crawl across the bed, kneeling behind him. I wrap my arms around his waist, resting my head on his shoulder and place kisses on Sweet Pea's neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he says, then his head to look back at me, pecking my lips.

"Why not?" I ask. Sweet Pea quickly turns around, laying me down.

"Because my neck is a trigger spot for other things."

"Noted" I reply, chuckling softly.

"Do you want to hang out today?" he asks and I look at him slightly shocked. "What? Don't you want to hang out with me?"  He pretends to be offended and I smile.

"I would love to hang out with you, just wasn't expecting you to ask that" I answer, making him smile. "Don't look, I'm going to change."

"Ok," he replies, looking away from me. I turn my back to him and put on my jeans.

"Nice butt."

"Hey! I said don't look!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Sweet Pea and I walk out of Pop's Diner and I see Kevin standing with another Serpent. His hair long, black hair is slicked back, the ends curling just under his ears. Piercingly bright, blue eyes. Tan skin covering his slim build. Kevin looks at me then back at the boy beside him but quickly looks back at me, shocked.

"Oh. My. God!" he says.

"Don't oh my god me, we're in the same situation... kind of. You know, 'cause you're both men" I reply, hearing Sweet Pea quietly chuckle from beside me. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" Suddenly, all three men burst out laughing. "What?" I look at them confused; eyebrows scrunching together.

"We know what you meant," the guy next to Kevin justifies, a smile still on his face from laughing.

"This must be the boy who gave you that hickey at the drive-in," Kevin says, grinning from ear to ear.
