Explorations

“Ready for bed?” Kyler inquired as he gently stroked my upper arms.

I nodded and took a sip of water. “Please.” I smiled.

Marie, Heather, Freddy, and a few other football players and cheerleaders had come back to the house with us. Everyone that accompanied us understood that it wasn’t going to be a crazy let’s get drunk night. They accepted the fact that Zane and I had an early morning and a monumental competition tomorrow.

It had been a fun night. As promised, Lochlann had picked up pizzas, subs, wings, and pops for us. Kyler and Crew built a fire in the large bonfire pit for us to hang around. One of the football players brought his guitar, and he and Golden kept us entertained most of the night with their playing and singing. It was the perfect way to end the night, even if thoughts of Madison possibly attending the same school as Zane and Crew threatened to put a damper on it.

“Goodnight, all.” I somewhat reluctantly got up from my position off the blanket and between Paxton’s opened legs.

“Going to bed already?” Heather pouted.

I laughed as I looked down at my phone. “I wish I didn’t have to, but it’s past midnight, and five-ish is gonna come way too soon.”

Zane and Lochlann had already gone to bed nearly half an hour ago. I tried to hang out for a while longer, but I had felt my energy flagging, and Kyler had noticed. Golden and Paxton didn’t seem to want to end the night yet, and I insisted earlier that they stay up and continue hanging out. This was the first time any of the guys had hung out with anyone outside of the house since my return. I didn’t want them to think they had to revolve their lives around me and my schedule. I appreciated it, and it made me extremely happy, but I understood the importance of them having their own lives.

Paxton hopped up, too, giving me a hug and a kiss to my jawline. Golden embraced me next and kissed my forehead. I tried not to look at my classmates.

I knew they wondered how our arrangement worked. It was no secret how affectionate the guys were before I was taken, and it had only increased since my return. I knew rumors flew around the school about my reputation, but I'd stopped caring. Being kidnapped had taught me life was too short to care what others thought. I wouldn’t say that I still didn’t get self-conscious about it anymore, or that it didn’t bother me when people judged us without really knowing us. However, at the end of the day, we were happy and that was all that mattered.

“You need to let us know when you have a competition closer,” Marie insisted. “I would love to see you in person.”

I opened my mouth to ask her what she meant, but then I remembered that many of the news outlets had shown clips of me dancing in my absence.
