Chapter 116
The blaring alarm that woke me before seven did not make me happy. Tears stong the back of my eyes When I realized it was because we had to take Mike and Drew to the airport. Getting up, I dragged myself into the bathroom and started the shower, stripping down and climbing in; I shrieked when the water was still cold. Oh well, at least I was awake now. Drew stuck his head in the bathroom just as I finished rinsing off.
“Hey, sweetheart, just leave the water on; I need to hop in quickly, Drew said, stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind him. He dropped his boxers, and I took a moment to appreciate the view. Then, I blushed when he stepped closer to me and tilted my chin until I saw him in the yes.
“Like what you see, baby?” He chuckled.
“Always,” I promised before wrapping my arms around his waist.” I’m going to miss you two so much,” I whispered, my voice cracking with a sob
“I know, sweetheart. We will miss you too, but the sooner we go, the sooner we can come back,” Drew reminded me before giving me a nudge toward my bedroom and climbing into the shower. I retreated to my bedroom, pulling on some comfortable clothes that were still nice enough to wear out, and when the smell of coffee made it into my room, I made a beeline for the kitchen. I knew I would only make it through the next few hours with coffee and cuddles
I was sitting on a stool at the kitchen island when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind Patrick rumbled a good morning into my neck before kissing the top of my head. Letting me go, he began making his cup of coffee, then sat down next to me, linking his free hand with mine and squeezing it. My other guys started to come in, each stopping to give me good morning kisses. They each made their coffee. After dropping their packs by the garage door, Mike and Drew were the last to come into the kitchen. They made their coffee and leaned against the counter across from me. God. they look yummy in the uniforms; I hope they get to keep them when they retire; my brain was coming up with many intriguing ideas about my men dressed in their uniform, and I squirmed in my seat, drawing the guy’s attention to me.
“You ok, baby girl?” Josh asked
“Yep, I have just been sitting still too long; I’m fine, I promised, hoping he would believe me. I did not want to voice all the dirty images my mind had come up with right now. When Drew and Mike finished their coffee, they rinsed their cups and clapped their hands, startling me from my daydreaming-
“Let’s get going, Whos driving?” he asked, looking between the twins and Patrick, Patrick stood, pulled the keys out of his pocket, and led the way into the garage, pushing the button to open the garage door as he walked to the SUV. Mike stopped next to me, then swept me up in his arms, carrying me bridal style into the garage before setting me down and climbing into the back of the SUV.
I followed him into the back with Drew behind me. I wanted to sit with them and spend as much time with them. Once everyone was buckled in, Patrick backed the car out, and we were off. I linked one hand with Drew and one with Mike and rested my head against Mike’s shoulder.
All too soon, Patrick was pulling into the parking lot by the airport, and we were all climbing out. Once Drew and Mike had their packs, I clung to each of their hands as we walked them inside. Stopping in front of the security checkpoint, I was openly crying when Deer swept me into his arms, and I wrapped my legs around his waist to hold on. Mike stepped up behind me, and we stayed in our group hug for several minutes before Drew put me down
Once they had said goodbye to their brothers and Patrick, they returned to me, Mike reaching me first. He wiped the tears from my face before kissing me deeply, promising to call as soon as they could and telling me how much he loved me. Drew did the same, telling me he loved me and promising to call before leaving me with one last kiss.
I stepped back and let the twins surround me, with Patrick behind me. We watched our two soldiers pull out their IDs as they walked through security. Stopping, they turned and gave us one last wave before turning and disappearing into the crowd. I continued to sniffle as we walked back to the SUV, Patrick said he would drive, and Jake helped me into the back, climbing in after me, while lush got shotgun. Once 1 buckled my seat belt, lake wrapped an arm around me and pulled me against his chest, handing me a tissue to dry my face.
Patrick drove us from the airport as I rested my head against Jake’s chest. A few minutes later, I felt the car slowing down, and I opened my eyes to see Patrick had pulled into a shopping center. Glanting at me in the rearview mirror, we made eye contact.
Coffee love?” Patrick asked. I sat up when I saw my favorite drive–thru coffee place.
“Yes, please. Thank
you for stopping. Patrick,” I pulled out my phone and opened the coffee app before handing it to him.
Here, use my app; I’m only a few points away from a free coffee, I told Patrick. When I saw all of them staring at me, I shrugged.
What? I like coffer.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Girl (Emmy)
Why did she tell them she was virgin on that video call a few chapters ago but now she’s saying her first time was at prom? So many inconsistencies it’s getting harder and harder to keep reading....
Not sure what happened to this book after the first chapter but lines and mixed up, words are incorrect and this entire chapter just repeats the same paragraphs over and over and then when when I go into the next chapter it’s like have first half if the chapter is missing and I have no clue what happen between between her sitting next to Patrick and then talking to Mike. The book has so much potential but I honestly don’t I will go any further since it’s so poorly edited....
I like the book but who ever is writting it needs alot of proof reading before releasing a chapter. I didn't understand most of the chapters because of how poorly it was written. With that beings said i need more chapters as soon as possible....
I am not sure I can read this - it’s a bit far fetched for me & to set a time for Her to reflect on her misdeeds & then apologize !!! I am just too much of a redneck female for this to sit well...
