You’re Mine by Penny Brooks novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191

Harper

The moment we all climb off the bus, the bright sunlight smacks me right in the face, making me wince, holding up my hand to shield my eyes.

"Oh God.” Easton slips on his sunglasses, looking sexy as hell despite having slept on a bus for the last three hours.

Sometimes it's painful how good looking he is.

“Thank God we're home.” “Actually, I'm sad we're home.

That went by way too fast,’ Sadie says as we start walking across the parking lot toward Easton's Jeep.

"I'd stay five days in Disney if I could.

Hell, I'd live there.” “You would.” Ryan ruffels her hair, making her duck away from him with a yelp.

“You guys want to come back to my house?"

Easton asks, wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we continue walking toward his car.

“You should come too.” “I'm down,’ Sadie says as she hooks her arm through Ryan's, briefly leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Mom and Dad knew I was going over to Easton's once we got home, my brother tells me.

“Oh.” I pull my phone out, wondering how I should word this.

My parents trust us.

Sort of.

But they wouldn't like it if they knew I was going to Easton's house to sleep.

In his bed.

With him.

Preferably naked.

That would be a hard no from the parents for sure.

“Just tell your mom I'll be there.

She can't say no to that,” Sadie suggests.

Huh.

Knowing Mom, she might.

Though lately she's been pretty agreeable, letting me do more things, giving me a little bit of freedom.

Can't hold you back forever, she said at one point.

So true.

I'm leaving in a few months.

About to live on my own in the dorms at UCLA.

I can't freaking wait.

Once I get the okay from Mom, we head for Easton's house, the mood subdued.

More like we're exhausted.

I didn't sleep that well despite using Easton as a pillow.

AllI want to do is collapse and go back to sleep for the rest of the day.

“My parents are already at work, so we'll have the place to ourselves,” Easton says as he pulls into the driveway of his house.

"Not like we're going to party,” Ryan says as we all exit the Jeep.

“I'm way too tired for that shit.” "Same,’ Sadie says.

I nod in agreement, shuffling my way through the garage, trailing after my boyfriend.

“Anyone want a snack? Something to drink?"

Easton asks as we enter the house through the kitchen.

"I just want to lay down.” Sadie stretches her arms above her head, yawning loudly.

“Let's chill in the family room.

We can put a movie on and crash out on the couch for a while,” Easton tells us.

We follow him into the family room and find a spot on the giant sectional that takes up most of the space.

It's big and comfy and Easton's momis a big believer in cozy throw blankets, so I snag one off the back of the couch and grab a pillow, lying down facing the TV.

Easton lies next to me and Ryan and Sadie are cuddling on the other side of the couch.

“That was so much fun,” I say once I've got myself positioned just right with the blanket tucked up under my chin.
