Chapter 257: I want to talk about the video

Denalii POV

I get my phone and text my sister

Me- Check on your boy please. River had a nightmare, she's fine now. He looks like he's going to have a break down or beat my ass though lol. I forgot how close him and Finn has gotten, this is hard for him too and I think everyone forgets that.

Fiammetta- I will Fratello. I love you. We forget sometimes to check on the strongest ones. He might really fight you though lol. It was a blood fest when Lucky joined their love circle. It got bad but they fixed it together.

Me- That's not what's happening here sorella. I do not have the kind of restraint that Finn does. I'm a jealous mother fucker Sorella lol.

Fiammetta- They all are Fratello and they figure it out. I got Pickle, I'll go find him. You just take care of my best friend and try to go back to sleep. I love you.

Me- Don't repeat this but I like them and you were right 😜 when you told me that years ago. I love you too.

I look up and she just watching me, she blushes when she see me looking at her. I wave her over,  she walks over to the bed and gets in laying on her side looking at me but not getting to close to me. She just stares at me for a minute, so I roll more to my side. I stare back at her.

"What?" I finally say laughing after all this staring straight into my soul and hers has me wanting her badly. I might have to get my jealousy in check.

She touches my cheek "Denalii?" She says and just looks at me for a second. "Yes sweetie" I say with a smile.

She blushes moving her hand away from my face.

"I've been waiting forever.. are you ever going to tell me the joke of the day?" She says laughing then she pushes me away a little. I grab her and yank her under me, I tickle her sides as I think of a good one. She's laughing so hard, I miss that fucking laugh. We had fun when we were younger, I should have just told her how I felt then. Focus I need a good joke.. she's laughing at my thinking face.

"Okay okay settle down and listen. What do you get if you cross an angry sheep with a upset cow?" I'm waiting looking at her and she giggles and blushes.

"I don't know what?" She says finally.

"An animal that's in a baaaaaaad moooooood!" She smacks my chest laughing.

I reached down and move her hair from her face.

She's so beautiful when she's laughing, this is a good moment in this shit time. We both needed a good laugh. I just feel alive when I'm around her.

I lean down a little, I can feel her heart beating fast under me and I can hear her breathing getting faster. I lean down and before I know it my lips are on hers. Her lips are so soft, she parts her lips so I deepen the kiss, she wraps her arms around my neck pulling me down closer to her. I move my hand under her head pulling her up harder against my mouth. We kiss each other hard and needy, I never want to stop touching her lips. She stops, pulling away a little "Denalii." She says as I look at her she has tears in her eyes.  "I know baby, me too. Shh It's okay. Come here." I turn on my back pulling her up to my chest. My heart is still pounding as I run my fingers through her hair.

"What do you need?" I ask her softly.

"I want to talk about the video but I really need a drink first." She says laughing a little. I laugh and she pinches my sides. I squirm trying to get away as I laughing.

"Well it just so happens that I found something earlier that might help with that." I say reaching over and sliding open the side table drawer grabbing the flask.

"Ohh yes." She says grabbing it and pounding it down.

"Give me some of that stingy girl." I say grabbing it from her hand. She has some on her bottom lip so I lean over and suck it off lightly. I feel her body shivering lightly as I touch her. She hands me the flask.

"This yours?" I ask her drinking some. That's some strong nasty shit. She laughs at the face I make.

"Yeah Finn gave it to me." She says blushing.

"I gave it to him, our last tour out." I say laughing.

She squeezes my hand. I lay back pulling her back to my chest. I move the hand I'm holding close to my chest and just lightly move my fingers along hers. She takes a deep breath sighing softly. "Can I ask questions about." She stops and takes a breath "Can I ask you questions about what happened." I stop moving my fingers for a minute then I start again.

"River I will answer any questions you have, I won't lie to you but on somethings I will not answer If the answer will hurt you." I say leaning my head down a little kissing her head.

"Do you think they're alive still?" I tighten my fingers around hers "Yes I do." I take a deep breath and pull her tight against me. I hold her hand with mine against my chest with the other hand I lightly run my fingers up and down her upper arm.

"Denalii do you think we'll find them?" She asks with sadness in her voice. I kiss her head "Yes River I do."  She tightens her fingers around mine.

"Do you think they'll be alive when we find them?" My body tightens. She leans up to look at my face but I look away. She turns my face back to hers "That's what I thought." She drops her head to my chest crying softy. I squeeze her as tight as I can without hurting her.

"This is the time I hope with my whole soul that they prove me wrong." I say tears running from my eyes. I reach over and grab a few tissues as I turn off the side lamp.

"Do you want something to help you sleep?"  I ask her. I feel her move up to my face  She kisses me fast and deep "Yes definitely but for now, I'll take this. You just holding me in your arms." I gulp and clear my throat tightening my arms around her. She draws circles on my chest and hand as I do they same on her arm. A peace I've never really had comes over me, We stay in silence but it's not uncomfortable it's warm and comforting.This how we stay till we both fall asleep
