TAKING A CHANCE

Chapter 6

The next morning, Elayna opened her eyes looking around the room. It hit her that this was her room, she actually had her own room with a bed and bathroom. She smiled widely, when she tried to get up something squeezed her. She then remembered that Quinn had slept with her last night, she realized that she had slept the best she had ever slept last night. When she rolled over to look at Quinn she saw him already looking at her quietly but intently.  Smiling slightly she asked him a question that had been on her mind, "Quinn, what's going on here, I mean what are we doing?" Kissing her forehead he answered, "I have been drawn to you since I saw you, I don't know why but I want to see what happens with you and me." "I've never uh, well I have never been even close to a man let alone with them. I don't really know what to do here."  "We will take it a day at a time babe." Smiling she leaned up at kissed him lightly, he didn't push for more other than slightly deepening the kiss. Pulling back she smiled brightly with him smiling back.  Getting up they both got dressed for the day, then headed out to the main room for coffee. When they arrived in the main room Elayna saw her father at the bar drinking a cup of coffee. "Morning, um, well can I call you dad or should I just call you Chibs, I'm not sure." Looking at her he smiled "I would love it if you called me dad, but only if that is comfortable for you." She looked at him in the eyes with slight tears in hers, "Good morning Dad".  

Soon Gemma came in "Good morning guys, Good morning Baby Girl, how you doing this morning?" "I'm doing real good actually, I think I'm actually happy for once." Gemma hugged her slightly, "Good, after everyone is at work you and I are going shopping." Looking down at the table Elayna frowned, "I don't have any money Gemma." Before Chibs could say anything Quinn reached in his pocket and pulled out a roll of bills handing them to her, "Quinn, I cant..." "Take it, and get what you want, no arguments." "Are you sure?" Kissing her slightly "Yeah Lil' Bit." After kissing him back she went with Gemma to get some coffee. Chibs came over at sat next to him, "She seems happy and more relaxed." Quinn slowly took a drink of his coffee, "She couldn't get comfortable in the bed last night, I found her making a bed on the floor, so I laid down with her in bed to help.  She explained how she felt and we agreed on one day at a time."  Chibs nodded slowly, "Good, while Gemma takes her shopping we are getting my house and her room done, Gemma is gonna get details for her room while their out." 

After everyone got to work, Gemma and Elayna left to Lodi. After getting to a store they starting looking around, Gemma helped her find things she liked and then after suggested lunch. "So, what's your favorite color?" Elayna looked at Gemma confused "Well, uh I always loved purple's, any shade of Purple." Nodding Gemma asked what else. "Ok, well, I love butterflies, roses, I loved reading in school, but Mary wouldn't allow them at home. I don't know really what else, oh I love to cook and try new recipes." When she looked at Gemma, she saw her texting someone, but decided it was none of her business. After lunch Gemma took her to a salon, Elayna was excited, she got her nails done and then hair and makeup. By the time they were done and heading home, Elayna felt like a new person and she loved it. Just then Gemma's phone rang, "Hello....Ok...Be there in 10." Smirking lightly she hung up, "Everything ok, Gemma?" "Yep, all good just have to stop somewhere real fast." 

Ten minutes later, they pulled up to a beautiful house, it was off white with green trim. The yard had freshly planted rose bushes along the walk. "Gemma, where are we?" Before Gemma could answer, the door opened and the guys came out. "Hey sweetheart" Hugging Chibs "Hi Dad, um, what's going on?" Quinn came over to her and kissed her lightly, "Have fun Lil' Bit?" Smiling excitedly she answered, "Oh yes Giant, we did. I got a whole bunch of clothes and shoes, and then Gemma took me to a Salon. It was the best day ever." Smiling he grabbed her hand and Chibs and him took her into the house. "Welcome home sweetheart." Looking at her father and Quinn, they both smiled at her stunned look. "Wait, what?" "This is my home and now it is yours as well." Shocked she looked around, all the guys and Gemma were watching her with smiles, "Wow, this is so awesome, can you show me around?" The guys and Gemma waited in the living room while Chibs showed her around, when the got to the hallway, the guys followed. "My room is here at the end, but this one is yours." After standing there for a minute, she opened the door. She couldn't believe her eyes, walking into the room she saw light purple walls, with dark purple curtains, a huge king size bed, with a beautiful quilt that had butterflies all over. On the wall there was also little butterflies flying all over. She had a closet and dresser and her own bathroom. Crying she turned to the guys and her dad, "I love it! You did this all for me? Thank you so much, I love it so much!" After hugging her dad and kissing Quinn, she hugged the rest of the guys and turned to Gemma. "You know I think you earned the name Ma, thank you so much." Gemma hugged her tightly, "I'm glad Baby, you deserve everything and remember your family know." Quinn came up to her putting his arms around her, "We got you Lil' Bit." She leaned up and kissed him passionately "Thanks Giant."
