One Of Her And Four Of Us

Waking up the next morning, I feel more rested than I have in months, but that’s quickly crushed when I realize that Mav left me alone at some point in the night. Pulling myself together, I shake off the ominous feeling sitting in my gut. I don’t hear anything in the house still, so I’m hoping to make it up to my room without getting caught. This feels too much like a walk of shame, even though nothing happened. Have I mentioned just how un-fucking-lucky I am?

As I round the corner of the kitchen, Lucas and I almost run straight into each other. He smiles down at me until his eyes do a once over my body then look over my shoulder from the room that I just came from. There couldn’t possibly be more shock showing on his face. I know what he’s thinking and my face flames. It automatically puts me on the defensive. Tapping the bottom of his chin, I try to get him to shut his mouth that had popped open and walk around him.

I don’t see any of the other guys and I take my time getting ready. When I finally make it down, they are waiting for me in the living room area. Mav avoids my eyes and I’m not going to lie, it stings. Lucas must see something on my face, because his usual smile turns into a frown and he glares at Maverick.

Trying to break the tension, I ask, “So, what are we doing today?”

Teagan is completely oblivious, “Well, that’s what we were sitting here trying to decide.”

Goose looks at the floor and it sets off my radar, “What is it?”

Maverick meets my eyes for the first time with his mask back into place. All traces of the person he was last night are gone, “It snowed all night, so it might be a rough ride up to the resort where we’re supposed to be going.”

It takes a second for it to click, “Would you guys make the trip if I wasn’t here?”

I’m looking toward Mav and Goose on the couch. Goose shrugs trying not to answer as Mav simply says, “Yes.”

“Problem solved then,” I say. “Go without me.”

Lucas stands up, “No, now wait a minute. We would be gone all day, and we’re not just going to leave you up here by yourself.”

His gentlemanly attitude makes me smile, “As much as I love the snow, I truly despise being cold.” I hold my hands palm up and act as if I’m weighing things, “Falling on my ass and freezing all day, trying to keep up with you guys on the slopes compared to being comfy and warm in front of the fireplace. Not even a competition. Besides, I’m not exactly alone. Ryleigh and Eddie are here.”

“Are you sure?” he asks warily.

When I nod, Teagan’s blonde hair bobs as he jumps up, “Yes!”

I try not to laugh, but it’s impossible. They get up to leave and Maverick walks out without a word or look behind him.
