Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Shattered Girl Chapter 33

I wandered into the kitchen, heading straight to the coffee machine. Josh was pouring a cup for me, and I sighed happily as I took it from him, thanking him with a kiss. I added creamer and took my first sip. I asked Jake if he needed any help, and when he said he didn't, I sat at the table, enjoying the feeling of the coffee working its way through my system. I got up to help when Jake started plating the food; I was bringing the list plates to the table when Drew and Mike appeared. Drew poured coffee for himself and Mike, then joined us at the table. As we are, the guys began discussing their plans for the day, letting me know we had been invited to Patrick's parent's house for dinner tonight I looked forward to meeting Patrick's mom and his other two dads. Everyone pitched in to clean up the breakfast mess, and we did the cleanup quickly. I still had over an hour before Patrick was supposed to pick me up, so I started getting ready. After a quick shower, I stood in my closet, trying to figure out what to wear. Giving up, I sent a quick text to Patrick. Emmy: Hey, how should I dress for today?

Patrick: Whatever you want to, I want you to be comfortable

or how I should

His response left me grumbling, how none of my guys so far are helpful when telling me which outfit they like me dress for an activity. I continued to mumble as I started sorting through the closet again. When my text alert went off glanced at it and shook my head. Patrick: oh, wear comfortable shoes, no heels or sandals

Emmy: So, sneakers? Hiking boots? Can you give me some idea of what we are doing?

Patrick: Love, it's a surprise.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Emmy: So, evening gowns and sneakers?

Patrick: UMMM

Patrick: Maybe just what you usually wear

Emmy: Thank you. Now, was that so hard?

Patrick: My dads told me never to tell a woman what to wear.

Emmy: Well, I'm giving you permission to If I ask.... you can provide me with advice

Patrick: OK, love, today is going to be casual, so is dinner at my parents

Emmy: Great, see you soon

Patrick: Yes, love, see you soon.

Grabbing some shorts, and a t-shirt, I got dressed, and quickly did my hair. I decided to only use, enough makeup to cover the bruises, when I was done I went back to the living room to wait with the guys who were involved in yet another video game race. Jake spotted me, and angled himself so I could sit on his lap while he played.

After Josh won several rounds, 1 started to tease him, seeing if I could distract him enough to give the rest of the guys a chance to win. I cuddled up closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder, and continued to watch him play. When he came to a particularly sharp turn, 1 turned my head and gently bit the bottom of his ear. Josh jumped, sending his car flying off the track, and giving the others a chance to pass him, 1/2 Chapter 33

"Baby girl, you did that on purpose." Josh growled. Trying to keep the smile off my face was impossible so instead I just buried my head against his neck. Josh continued to grumble until his car reappeared on the track. He returned his focus to the game, I shifted just enough so I could see the game, and waited. He quickly caught back up with the others, and was neck in neck with Drew's car. When they hit the final straight to the finish line, I turned my head again and kissed Josh' neck, he didn't really pay any attention to me, so I quickly nipped his neck. That got his attention. Josh yelped losing his controler and the race at the same time. As he shuffled around grabbing for his controler, I quickly slid off his lap. Calling goodbye over my shoulder, and that I would see them at dinner, I hurried out of the room toward the front of the house.I could hear Josh calling my name, but I was not about to go back there and sit through one of his scoldings. He could do that tonight, when he got back from dinner.

I decided just to be safe, I would wait for Patrick outside, or better yet down by the gate. As I began walking down the driveway my phone began to ring. I looked at it, seeing Josh's name I silenced it, and let it go through to voicemail. The brat in me giggled, I was already in trouble, ignoring his phone call wasn't going to make things to much worse, and besides by the time we met up for dinner, he would have had all afternoon to cool down. Yep my bratty side decided, that was what we were going to do.

I made it to the gate, just as Patrick was pulling up to it. I smiled and waved at him, as he pressed a button and the gate swung open. I could see Patrick release a deep breath and shake his head, as I walked up to the passenger side door. Patrick pushed a button to unlock it, and I climbed in.

"Ok, love, what did you do this time?" Patrick gave me a stern look, I gave him my most innocent smile as I buckled my seat belt.

"What makes you think I did something wrong?" I asked, doing my best to sound confused.

"Well love, I just got off the phone with Josh." He said, c**king an eyebrow, and motioning for me to explain.

"Oh, well I might have been distracting him a little while he was playing a racing game with the other guys." I had suddenly found thy fingers very interesting.

"And how exactly were you distracting him?" Patrick questioned.

I might have been playing with his ear, and maybe left a h**y on his neck?" I mumbled, still looking at my hands.

Patrick snorted, shaking his head. "You sure figured out how to push his buttons quickly love." Just then his phone rang again. He glanced at it, then passed it to me. "Answer it, if you make Josh worry any more than he already is, he's likely to take a belt to that cute a** of yours the next time he sees you."
