Chapter 64: You should have started with that story
River POV
"How was your nap?" Chailor asks.
"It was fine, I guess" I smile at her.
"I had that dream again, the one with the boy kissing me in a bathroom or something" I say with a huff.
"Anything different this time?" She asks.
"Kinda of he leans in and whispers in my ear but I can't hear what he's saying. The kiss felt different too, this time I felt it through my whole body" I sigh in frustration.
She just hugs me and smiles.
"How do I forget a whole person? How do I forget a whole boy who kisses like that?"
I sigh again heavily.
"Dont push it just let the memories come to you"
I roll my eyes at her.
She smacks my arm "Don't roll your eyes at me"
"Well don't sound like my therapist" I say laughing.
"Come on asshole, let's go make the boys buy us lunch before we head out" she's says linking our arms.
"I told Finn I love him" she stops and looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"Really!?" I just nod.
"I'm so proud of you sweetie" she hugs me tightly.
"I also let him go down on me in the bathroom of the club last night before he left." I throw in quickly.
"What!!" She yells excitedly.
I blush as she pulls out of our hug.
She smacks my arm "You should have started with that story" she laughs.
"So?" She asks
"It was amazing! So amazing!" I say excitedly as we head out the door.
"Lincoln ripped my nurses outfit almost in half trying to get it off me" she laughs out, covering her mouth quickly.
We're still laughing and sharing stories when the elevator stops a few floors down and opens it's doors to let people in.
"Kenny!" I almost yell as he gets on.
I move closer to him and grab him in for a tight hug.
"How are you doing River? I'm really sorry about last night" he starts to say.
"You have nothing to be sorry about and I'm so glad I got to know you" I pull out of the hug just enough to look at his face.
It's so full of guilt.
"I will kick your ass or anyone else's who says otherwise" I say looking at all the other men.
"Kenny, I'm so glad we got to be friends and I will email you. You be careful out there and I'll see you at your graduation ceremony" I say leaning over and kissing his cheek.
He blushes and hugs me tighter.
"Your really a amazing person River and I'm so glad I met you" he says softly.
"Boys, you all be safe and keep Finn out of trouble" I quickly hug them all.
"We will" they all say as they hug me back.
"We'll have a big welcome home get together when you guys get back" Chailor says hugging them all.
Finn is waiting for us when we get off the elevator.
He kisses my forehead and then says his goodbye to his friends.
They all bro hug and fist bump.
"I'll see you guys in a few days. Kenny keep your head up and thank you for watching over my girl" Finn says
I hug Kenny one last time and make sure he has my phone number to send me info on his graduation.
Ding...
I look at my phone and smile as I see a message from Flame.
Flame- Hey, I just wanted to see if you needed anything and say how sorry I am about leaving you.
Me- Flame, I 100% understand why you needed to go, I would never hold that against you. I'm sorry I punched up in the nose lol
Flame- Lol girl don't worry about that. Next week your starting training. We have info about what happened last night. It looks like the drink Randy brought you over got spiked by the creep from the alley. Randy drank some and was dosed to.
Me- That's good to hear, I would hate for Lincoln to have to kill his friend lol
Flame- Monday night I have a MMA match if you guys want to come, let me know. Pickle and Lucky are matched to fight too. Let me know I'll grab extra tickets just in case.
Me- Thank you. I had a lot of fun last night before everything and I would love to hang out again with you.
Flame- I would love that. It would be nice to hang out with someone other than the smelly men all the time lol
I reach over and take Finn's hand.
He smiles at me
"You guys okay?" He asks.
"Yeah of course, it wasn't her fault.
She said they found out it wasn't Randy's fault either someone had spiked his drink that he gave me"
"Wait, what?" Lincoln says looking at me in the mirror.
"Randy was involved?" He says madly
"There was a incident on the dance floor but it turns out he was drugged same as me, so I can't really hold him responsible for what happened" I say back
"What happened on the dance floor?" Lincoln and Finn almost say together looking at me.
"I guess I better tell you guys what happened or at least what I remember of it" I sigh.
I start with Randy walking over to the table and giving me a drink.
I tell them what I remember about the dance floor and what I remember after that.
I can see Lincoln's hands gripping on the steering wheel and his how his knuckles have gone white.
Finn is clenching his jaw and has turned his head to look out the window.
Chailor reached back and squeezed my hand a few times.
"Okay enough of the shit that none of us had any control over. I'm okay and so is everyone else" I say irritated.
Finn turns and locks eyes with me.
"We have wasted enough time on this and I want to just enjoy the next few days" I say not breaking away from his beautiful gray eyes.
I love this man.
I really do.
I lean over and kiss him softly as I squeeze his hand.
"Okay?" I smile at him.
He nods.
"Okay?" I say looking up front this time.l
"Okay" Lincoln says back with a half smile.
"I just messaged Frankie and told him we are taking off this week and explained why. He said if we come for dinner he would like it buy Finn's meal as a thank you for your service" Chailor says smiling at Finn through her visor mirror.
"Tell him I said Thank you" he responds.
"Flame said she has a fight on Monday night if we want to go" I say throwing it out there for everyone.
"Niceee!" Lincoln says.
Chailor looks at him quickly.
He grabs her hand and kisses it.
"Finn said how scared he was of her yesterday, so It would be fun to see if she's really that bad ass or if he's just a sissy" Lincoln says laughing.
