Safe Haven

Chapter Thirty Nine

"Well, well, well..." Daisy says when I wake up. "If it isn't one of the lovebirds."

"What?" I yawn.

"Allie and Jamie," she sings, "sitting on a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g."

"How old are you?" I chuckle.

"Old enough to be happy for my main bitch."

"Main bitch?" I laugh. "Were you just sitting there waiting for me to wake up so you could make fun of me?"

"You think the world revolves around you?" She scoffs. "I woke up a few minutes ago and was taking Buzzfeed quizzes. Apparently I am a flamingo based on which songs I liked the best, and should go live in Italy according to the house I built."

I roll my eyes and get off the bed. I start changing clothes and Daisy decides to do the same. We get out of the bedroom and go grab breakfast.

"Good morning, Liz." I smile to her as we enter the kitchen.

"Morning, girls."

"The other two are still sleeping?" Daisy ask.

"Jess is outside, but Jamie hasn't come out here yet."

Daisy surprises me by grabbing my hand and dragging me outside. Jess is laying on one of the couches going through her phone, clueless to us.

"Jessica!" Daisy races and pulls me with her.

"What did I do?" Jess looks up with a frown.

"Not you." She turns to me. "Are you telling her or am I?"

"Tell me what?"

"Daisy..." I sigh.

"They kissed." She squeals and Jess' eyes widen.

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

"You did?" Jess turns to me. I roll my eyes and nod. "Holy fucking shit!" She gets off the couch and starts jumping. Daisy quickly joins her and they start squealing together.

"You two are impossible." I shake my head and go back inside.

"Are the girls ok?" Liz asks when I enter the kitchen. "I heard some screaming."

I laugh. "Yeah, they're fine, just overreacting." I grab my breakfast and sit on the table. The food is flawless as usual, and when I'm halfway through my plate Jamie comes in.

"Morning." Liz greets her daughter. "I'm already heading out, Paul asked me to go over the menu for an event, so I have to go earlier."

"It's ok, Mom."

"Do you need anything before I go? Will you be fine?"

"Allie and I will look after the two children." Liz and I laugh.

"Ok, then I'll be on my way." She grabs her purse and walks to the garage. "Have a good day, girls."

Jamie grabs some food for herself, then sits next to me and smiles. "Morning."

"Morning," I say before she leans in for a quick kiss. "So... Jess already knows we kissed last night. Daisy just told her."

"Of course she did." She giggles. "Do they know you're my girlfriend?" She emphasizes the word as if we're little kids and I laugh.

"I didn't tell them. They could've figured it out by now, but that's on their crazy minds, not me." We finish our food and go put on our bikinis for another day at the pool.

I come out of my room and a body presses against my bare back and lips on my ear. "I didn't say anything before 'cause we were on a pause and all that, but now that you're officially my girlfriend and I can say that you look really hot in that bikini."

I grin and turn around to find Jamie's face close to mine. "Thank you." I peck her on the lips. "You know, I gotta match my girlfriend. She's really hot and I don't wanna feel left out." She smiles and leans for a deeper kiss.

We step outside, and Daisy and Jess already got in the pool. When they see us, we're bombarded with screaming. I drop my towel on the table and cover my ears.

"We've been talking," Daisy says, "and we wanna be the bridesmaids on your wedding." I turn around so fast I almost get whiplash, and my eyes get so wide they could've fallen out of their sockets.

"Wedding?" I shriek. "We haven't even been together for 24 hours and you two are already planning our wedding?"

"Um, no. It's been, like, a month," Jess says matter-of-factly. "Sure, there was a break in the middle, but still."

"Did you plan anything else for our life?" Jamie asks sarcastically.

"We'll also be the godmothers of your kids," Daisy says.

"That's great!" I say faking excitement. "Now we are married and have kids."

"Yes, a boy and a girl," Jess adds.

"Awn. You hear that, darling?" Jamie puts on an oldish accent, turns to me and fake-cries. "We are having a boy and a girl!" We both laugh.

"You two are crazy." I point to Jess and Daisy. "Now shut up and let's enjoy the water." I pull Jamie by her hand and get in the pool.

I finish going down the stairs and Jamie jumps on my back, her arms going over my shoulders and legs around my waist. I look at her face resting on my right shoulder with a big smile on her lips and it makes me smile too. I kiss her cheek and soon the two nutcases loose their minds.

"Just ignore them," Jamie whispers in my ear. "They'll eventually get tired."

I take another look at them and roll my eyes. "If by 'eventually' you mean 'in a few centuries', then maybe you're right." We both laugh and I take advantage of our friends talking to each other to place a small kiss on her lips. "But if that's what I have to endure to be with you, I'll gladly take it."
