“Pretty girl what’s wrong?” I asked hoping she would give me a chance to show her how sorry I was but I pushed my thoughts away focusing on her and why she was crying.
“I know this is probably a horrible time to bring this up since all this just happened but why did you react like that? I thought we had something special Ryder? I love you but if you don’t want me you need to tell me so I can move on from this. I have enough shit on my plate right now,” she said her voice was going steely while talking. Grayson threw an arm around her shoulders and Asher grabbed her hand in a show of support. I never thought that we would be against each other but this was a damn good reason for it. I fucked up and now I would grovel until she forgives me.
“Pretty girl can you give me a chance to explain and then you can take it from there?” I asked pleading with her hoping she saw the sincerity in my voice. I winced at how pathetic I sounded but I didn't care.
“Fine but this better be good since you humiliated me in front of everyone,” she said while she rolled her eyes her attitude coming back. Seeing her cry did something to my heart that did not feel good. We sat on the couch and I explained everything how I felt that it would be worse for her at school and I was just terribly nervous that she wouldn't want to deal with it and leave us.
When I finished giving her my explanation, she looked at me and I couldn’t decipher the look in them. Malia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them her eyes were clear and she told me, “Ryder I love you but if you pull something like this again…” she didn’t even get to finish her sentence before she was on my lap and I was smothering her with kisses and thanking God she was willing to give me another chance. She smiled and I couldn’t help but take her mouth in a heated kiss. I could smell Asher and Grayson on her and this actually turned me on even more which surprised me even more. As my hands were trailing down her back to her ass my phone started to ring.
Groaning, I pick it out of my pocket to see Skylar calling me. I heard Malia huff out a breath but I kept her on my lap and put the phone on speaker after answering the call. “What do you need Skylar?” I sighed in annoyance.
Skylar was hiccuping on the phone and I could barely understand her since she was crying but finally she asked, “The hospital needs her insurance card. Could you bring it by tomorrow?”
“Yeah Skylar I can do that. Is that all?” I asked hoping she said yes so I could continue with what I was doing a couple minutes ago. When she said yes we hung up and I looked at Malia to find that she was sleeping on my shoulder. Her warm breath fanned on my throat and I loved the feeling of her in my arms.
The guys and I decided to take her to bed after the phone call. She has had a long day and she could use the rest. We get her upstairs and change her into her bed shorts and put her in one of my shirts. After we get her into bed I let the guys know I was going to grab Jessa’s insurance card out of the guest house before going to bed.
Searching through the few papers on the counter and couple boxes in her bedroom I couldn’t find the damn thing. I was searching through the last one when I found it. I almost close the box when I see something with Malia’s name on it that instantly catches my eye. Putting the insurance card on the floor I take out what looks to be a birth certificate. What I see next has my head spinning. What in the actual fuck was going on?

The pounding in my head woke me up the next morning. I guess I didn’t realize how much alcohol I actually consumed. Well, the marching band that was going off in my head was letting me know just how much they didn't like me right now. Ugh. How do some people drink like this all the time? This was not fucking worth it! While trying to roll out of bed I realize that someone was wrapped up in my sheets with me. I couldn’t exactly see through the mess that was my hair and I was squinting trying to keep the sunlight out of my eyes so I pushed whoever it was away from me.
“…Unless there is a fucking fire leave me the fuck alone!” Grayson mumbled his voice sounding like he swallowed a bunch of rocks. Well, then no need to bother his grumpy ass any further.
Rolling to the other side there was someone there too. What the fuck? I didn't remember falling asleep with anyone in my bed. Seeing blonde hair I realized who it was. “Asherrrr! I need to get out of bed. I have to pee!” I begged him. Since he doesn’t want to answer me he fell on the floor with an ‘oof’.
Chuckling, I jumped out of bed and went right to the bathroom. As I was walking out of the bathroom after washing my hands, I noticed Ryder was missing. I thought we fixed everything last night but maybe I was
