The bad boys heart

7. Street racing

I wake up and check the time, I have about 40 minutes before Cole's parents get here. I slowly get up and pull myself out of Cole's grip. I hesitantly get out of bed and make my way to the shower. I walk in and fill up the bath tub and add in some soap. Once it's filled up I take off my clothes and look in the mirror.

I see hand prints on my arms, thighs and hips. My eyes tear up and I get in the bath. A quick image of him on top of me pops into my head and I start imagining what would've happened if Cole and Jayden weren't there. I start sobbing and I tightly hug myself. "Babe are you okay? I'm coming in." Says Cole before opening the door and rushing over to me.

He doesn't say anything, he just wraps me in a hug. I cry even more and wrap my hands around his arms. He kisses my head before I lean into his shoulder. "He's not going to hurt you. No one will hurt you while I'm here." Says Cole stroking my hair. "Your clothes are going to get wet." I say wiping away my tears. "I don't care if my clothes get wet." He says holding me tighter.

"Can you get in with me?" I ask. He nods and pulls away. He takes of his clothes and gets in. He sits down behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. I lean back into his chest and he rests his head on mine.

After the bath I wrap a towel around myself and walk into my bedroom closing the bathroom door behind me. I walk to my walk in closest and look for the comfiest thing I could find. Which would be grey sweat pants and a black sweatshirt. I dry myself and put on my clothes before walking back into my room.

I see Cole sitting on my bed on his phone. He got dressed really fast. I walk over to him and sit on his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. I lean my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arms around my waist.

Once Cole's parents arrive, we walk downstairs. Mary immediately runs up to me and wraps me in a big hug. "How are you feeling darling?" She asks. "A lot better." I say smiling weakly. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better." Says Damion. "Thanks." I say. "Let me know if you need anything." She says smiling sweetly. "I will, thank you." I say. We all walk into the dining room and there's food all over the table. From waffles to eggs to fruit to bagels and everything in between.

"So, homecoming is coming up. You two plan on going together?" Asks Mary. "Yes, of course." I say smiling. "That's wonderful. Have you been looking for a dress yet?" Asks Mary. "No, not yet." I reply. "Well there's plenty of time." Smiles Mary sweetly. "So. When's the wedding?" Asks Damion. "And the grandchildren." Adds Mary.

I almost choke on my waffle and Cole chokes on orange juice. "I'm sorry *cough* what?" Asks Cole coughing again. "Who?" I ask. "The two of you." Smiles Mary. "We haven't been together for that long." Says Cole. "And we're too young." I add. "Well Cole, since you've been with Carly you've changed. You're a better man because of her." Says Damion.

"And Carly since you've been with Cole, you've been happier and not as sarcastic and well... boring." Shrugs my father. "So you two are good for each other." Says Mary. "And we can see this going a long way." Says my mother. "Plus Cole was miserable without Carly." Adds Mary. "And Carly was miserable without Cole." Giggles my mother. Soon they're talking about wedding ideas. After a while it moves to baby talk. Cole and I just sit there awkwardly.

"Oh I can't wait for the trip." Says Mary. "What trip?" Asks Cole. "Oh we forgot to tell you both." Says Damion. "We're going to the Maldives." Says my father. "Yes. We're leaving once classes is finished. We'll be there for a week. Then you'll have a week to do whatever you want before college starts again." Says my mother.
