not his first mate now
chapter 43

By the time morning had arrived I was beyond tired and refused to getout of bed. I herd Xaiden talking to one of the girls but still refused toget up. I knew he was very safe with them all, so sleeping in would befine just this once.

The next time I woke was only because someone had decided to bringfood into the room making my stomach instantly growl from hunger."Rise an shine sleeping beauty, so many things to do today?" A femalevoice calls out at the same time the curtains are opened. The brightnessshines on my closed lids making me hiss out in annoyance. I throw theblanket over my head and groan.

"Go away" was my only reply, for that my blanket is pulled away frommy body and before I can move, a hand latches onto my leg and yanks.My head shoot up as I glare at my short friend who is grinning at me"Really?" I stare at her with a brow raised in a questioning manner."Well I brought you food, so get up and start eating or else.” I laugh atGeorgia words, but do a she says. I grab the tray and start to eat themini hotdogs while sipping on my coffee. Once I'm done I stand up andmove to the cupboard to replace cloths and to dress.

"So how is your morning so far?" I ask from the cupboard, grabbing myblue jeans and black singlet top along with underwear.

"It was good, little Xaiden showed us the yard and then made us followhim around the house.” She giggled at her own words making me smileas I walk past her heading for the shower.

"I'm going for a shower and then we can all talk.” She nods her headand watches as I walk into the bathroom closing the door.

I enjoyed the hot water running down my back as my head hits the tilewalls, my mind and body knew we would be having a tough day. So toenjoy the shower now was my only piece of relaxation that I would begetting for a while.

I slowly got dresses and made my way down stairs, I spotted my sonfirst who came bolting towards me.

"Mummy." Xaiden screams as he jumps into my arms laughing. I kiss hischeek and carry him into the lounge room where I see all my friendssitting down and waiting on us.

"I thought you stood us all up.” Arrow comments from the window sill, Ishake my head at her choice of words.

"Like you would let me do that." I scoffed, Arrow rolls her eyes.

"So care to tell us all why we are here?" Sal asked, I sigh and slowly siton the arm of Bree chair, placing Xaiden gently on my lap.

"If 1 had any other choice, then I most definitely would not havedragged you all here." I look each one of them in the eyes, they all stareback at me with confused looks except Sasha who knows what iscoming.

"Lil you know we would help you out with anything.” Bree tells me andpats my leg gently, I smile down at her.

"And I'm thankful for that, if it wasn't for you girls helping me out whoknows where my ass would be by now." They all laugh easing a little ofthe tention in the room

"The rogue king, has been knocking on my door. He wants what is hisback.” I try not to cringe at the way my voice spoke those sentences.Georgia hisses out in frustration, San groans loudly, Bree and Arrowswear a few words under there breaths Molly has fear in her eyes, Kellyhas her mouth wide open in shock. Lee stares into the fire pit with noexpression on her face. Sasha smiles in a calming way to hopefully easeme a little. Willow stands up and starts to pace the floor with her headin her hands. For a good twenty minutes or so, no one said a word asthey where all deep in their own thoughts.
