Chapter Forty-One - Better Abs

KARA

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up at seven and quickly pushed Connor's arm away to get off the bed. I went to my closet to pull out an oversized purple hoodie with black leggings and went to change. I came out, took my luggage and bag, and went down to the kitchen.

I placed my things by the island and went to prepare something small. I was leaving in forty minutes, enough time to rest before starting an hour drive. The moment food entered my mouth, my mind wandered.

I was munching on my sandwich when I heard footsteps. I glanced toward the stairs and my eyes met the ones of a shirtless Jake.

"Don't you own a shirt?"

He chuckled before leaning on the island I was eating at.

"What? Don't like me without one?"

"I don't think Connor or Edward would appreciate you half-naked."

He rolled his eyes, "But they're not here, are they?" I laughed at that statement. He inched closer, "When're you leaving?"

I checked my watch, "In thirty."

"Enough time to make out."

I smacked his shoulder, "No way, I put effort into my hair. I don't need you to ruin it with your hands," I joked while playing with a few strands of my hair that I just swiftly combed through this morning. He laughed and kissed my forehead, "Well, aren't you a cutie, kitten."

Suddenly, someone appeared by my side and kissed my temple. I almost screamed, "What the heck, Edward?!"

He ran his hand through that messy bouffant, "You were leaving. I thought I could see you off this time," he emphasized, reminding me that I didn't tell him I was leaving last time. I smiled sheepishly, "Sorry."

"How'd you know she was gonna leave?"

"Your thoughts, they're disturbingly loud," he said while putting an arm on my shoulder like he's protecting me. I swallowed another bite and looked at him, "What about my thoughts? Have you found out why you couldn't hear them?"

We've talked about this for a long while, but to no avail. He shrugged and I sighed in disappointment. We continued talking until I had another ten minutes left. I figured I should go up and tell Connor that I'm leaving, but the man himself beat me to it.

"I'm hurt you didn't wake me up, amore."

I looked up and saw a topless Connor flexing his abs without actually flexing them. I threw my arms up in annoyance, "What is up with you male wolves and shirts? Is there a conflict that I need to resolve?"

I leaned in closer to my vampire, who was- thankfully- clothed. He wrapped his arms around me and basked me in his coldness. Connor walked towards me and kissed my cheek, "Just showing you what you'd get if you chose me, love."

Jake pushed his shoulder and the two started fighting...

...again.

If they keep it up, I'm ready to choose Edward.

Edward and I chatted while we waited for the turds to stop fighting and resume their friendship they put so much work in building. Soon, they got up and dusted themselves off, before playfully punching each other once more and turned their heads to me.

"What do you think, kitten?"

I turned my attention to them, "What?"

"Who has better abs?" Connor asked, smirking like he knows the answer.

"Oh, that's an easy choice."

I'm so gonna frick them over for this.

Connor patted Jake's shoulder, "Better luck next time, Mr. Black." I rolled my eyes, "I haven't said anything yet, Mr. Anderson."

They looked back at me with anticipation in their eyes. I smiled before pointing to the person who's as pale as me. All three jaws dropped and their eyes widened.

"Lui?"

"Him?"

"Me?"

I giggled at their reactions and got up to get my things. I checked my things with Snow before walking towards the door. They only snapped out of their little trance when they heard the door opening. I heard three pairs of footsteps rushing towards me, so I pushed my luggage away- it'll hurt if that hits us- and turned around, just in time to be buried in their bear hug.

"I'll miss you guys too," I was barely able to squeeze the sentence out from their tight embrace. When they finally let me go, I took my luggage and looked at them. Connor was the first to give me a kiss on my forehead, "Mi mancherai molto (I'll miss you so much)."

I smiled, understanding what he was saying. Edward kissed my temple next, "I'll miss you loads." Then Jake kissed my cheek, "Miss you tons."

I gave them all a soft smile before turning around and walking out of the front door. They followed me out but stopped at the front of the porch. I went to my car, put my things in, and got in myself, sliding the key in the ignition and roaring the engine. I drove out and when turning to the road towards the border, I waved goodbye at my mates who were standing beside before picking up the speed and driving off. I passed the border and started the hour drive.

I'm bored.

But I'm almost there.

But I'm still bored. And sleepy. How, you ask? Well, I don't know how to answer that myself.

Blasting Fifth Harmony's playlist isn't keeping me awake.

Once I stopped at a red light, I switched the playlist and opted for Destiny's Child.

Still sleepy.

I'm literally twenty minutes away. Just a little while more.

Amore - Love
Lui - Him
