Chapter 128 Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight
"Yeah baby, if this has anything to do with anything I said in the past, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to stop. That was just me dealing with some personal stuff." Raikin says.
I smile, laughing a little and the three of the. look at me confused. Here I was thinking I said something bad or that they were mad at me for what I said. Turns out, they are worried I'm doing this because of them.
"No. It's not anything you guys have said or done, and I know you would never ask me to stop, but I want to. I want to do this for the three of you and well, for us. I want to be one hundred percent committed to making this relationship work. Especially after you guys go back to college. I just want all my focus to be on you guys and us." I say, giving them a reassuring smile.
"Are you sure baby?" Ryder asks and I smile.
"Yes. I have never been more sure."
They all smile like they just won the lottery. "Thank you babygirl. You have just made this Christmas even better." Raikin says as he pulls me into another hug.
"You are incredible baby." Reece says.
"Thank you for that baby. We are one hundred percent committed to you too." Ryder says.
They each take turns hugging and kissing me. Raikin picks me up bridal style making me giggle and he sits down on the couch, holding me on his lap.
Reece sits next to him on the middle cushion, putting my feet in his lap and Ryder sits at the other end. We start watching some Christmas movie they found, but I'm not paying any attention I'm to wrapped up in how perfect today has been to watch the movie.
About fifteen minutes into the movie Raikin leans in and whispers. "Are you worried about losing your friends because of the promise you made us baby?"
Reece and Ryder turn and look at me and I smile. A true genuine smile with no hesitation. I don't bother whispering when I answer. "Nope, I'm not. If they don't understand me wanting to be with you guys, and only you guys or if they don't approve of my relationship with you guys then I don't want them as friends."
Raikin smiles at me. "Well babygirl. I hope they understand, I don't want you to lose your friends over us."
I give him a quick kiss on the lips, and lean back looking directly in his eyes when I say. "I don't care if I lose every friend I have, I will always put the three of you first, because I love you."
That is the truth. I wouldn't care if I lose all my friends as long as I have the three of them with me. I know Logan is supportive of my relationship with the three of them. He was very understanding when I told him I couldn't do anything anymore. I think the other guys will be okay with it too, especially since Logan is supportive of it.
"We love you too babygirl. You are a dream come true." Reece says.
I smile even bigger. They are like the best thing I could have ever wished for. They are everything I didn't even know I needed or wanted in life. Now that I have it, I can't imagine living without them.
"The three of you are my dream come true as well."
Raikin kisses my cheek. "I'm glad baby."
"Me too babygirl." Reece says, smiling at me.
Ryder smiles. "Me too baby. You are my everything baby."
I smile, leaning my head against Raikin's shoulder. We sit in comfortable silence for a while, just watching the movie. I honestly feel so relaxed I could probably fall asleep right here in Raikin's lap.
No one says anything for a long time. Then seemingly out of nowhere Reece looks at me. "Have you messaged Logan and your other friends to tell them Merry Christmas babygirl?"
My eyes go wide for a second. No I didn't. I didn't even think about messaging anyone. I haven't really even looked at my phone since mom and Curtis left. I have been trying to soak up every minute I can with my guys before break is over.
"No, I haven't messaged anyone. I haven't even looked at my phone today."
Reece starts laughing. "Your friends might have messaged you babygirl, you might want to check your phone."
I look between the three of them, biting my lip nervously. "You guys wouldn't mind if I checked my phone or messaged my friends real quick?"
They all laugh. "No baby, of course we don't mind. You can talk to your friends any time you want to. You don't have to get our permission." Ryder says.
Reece and Raikin nod their heads in agreement and I lean in giving Raikin a kiss, before standing up. I bend over, giving Reece a kiss and then Ryder.
"I will be right back." I tell them as I head towards the door to go get my phone.
"Okay baby, we will be here waiting for you." Ryder tells me and he slaps my ass hard, making me yelp.
The three of them laugh, when I jump covering my ass with my hand. "Heyyy." I exclaim, giggling a little.
"Sorry baby. Just had to do it." Ryder says, chuckling a little.
I shake my head, laughing as I walk out of the room. I make my way upstairs to my room to get my phone. It's on my nightstand, right where I left it. I grab my phone, sitting on the edge of the bed. There are several missed calls and texts. Mostly from my friends, but there is also a missed call and text from my mom.
I should be happy that she left, because it allowed me to have this amazind day with my guys. But seriously who doesn't want to spend Christmas with their daughter? She could at least pretend to love me enough to spend Christmas with me.
I open her text, expecting a miss you, or hope your having a nice Christmas or something but nope. It's just three words.
Mom: Merry Christmas Lilliana.
I don't even bother texting her back. If she can't even pretend to be a good mom, then I'm not going to waste my time or energy on her.
I go through my other messages. There are a few from today and a couple from the past couple days. The ones from yesterday and the day before are mostly just I miss you texts and a couple of hope you are doing good texts. I focus on the messages from today. Starting with Logan.
