"Hey, I can speak for myself," Creed chimes in, reaching across the middle of the back seat to grab my hand. "If you want me to grovel, I'll do it for you, Baby."
And this is why he is the sweetest. Creed will always do anything to see me smile. Gunner will be a grouch about it, but I know he's going to cave and give in to what I want. Sebastian is the one I'm worried about. He hates not being in control. Groveling means that he doesn’t have authority.
"How the hell am I supposed to grovel?" Sebastian questions. I can hear the genuine intrigue in his question.
"Ever heard the song 'Grovel'?" I smile excited about where I'm taking this.
"Yeah, no," he looks concerned as he flicks his eyes to meet mine in the mirror before watching the road again.
"You're in for a treat. Hand me the phone," I demand, reaching forward for Gunner to place Sebastian's phone in my hand. His is hooked up to the Bluetooth in the car so it's easier to just use his instead of hooking up my own. The second his phone hits my hand I pull it back, finding the music icon on his phone and searching for the song I want. Grovel by April Jai pops up immediately and I press play. Listening as the music begins playing out of the speakers. The second I heard this song I knew one day it would mean so much to me. I've been there, feeling what the lyrics say. I fucked up and had every intention of groveling to get my men back if they would give me a chance. This time it's Sebastian's. He fucked up back with his hot and cold constantly. I don't need something extravagant but I would like an apology. Seeing him on his knees begging for forgiveness from me though is just going to be a plus side.
It was a long drive to where the guys decided to take me. At some point, I fell asleep and when I woke up my head was cradled in Creed's lap as I was stretched out across the backseat. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows, but thanks to the tint on them it wasn't too bright. Groaning, I tried to stretch in the small space we had. My body was already hurting from sleeping in a ball the way I did.
"Good afternoon, Sleepyhead," Creed smiles, brushing some hair off my face.
"How long did I sleep?" I was pretty positive we had left the record company right before dinner time. If he's saying afternoon I must have slept all day.
"Over twelve hours. I tried to help make you comfortable. I know the back seat isn't the best place to sleep for so long but you looked too cute, and we really just wanted to get here for our surprise," Creed explains as he helps me sit up. He doesn't let me move to the other side, instead keeping me in the middle seat right beside him.
"And where is ‘here’?" I question, trying to see out the windows and get an idea of where we are. There are plenty of places that are within twelve hours of where we were, it just depends on which way we drove.
"That would be a surprise, Princess," Sebastian answers. "Creed put the blindfold on her."
"Sorry, Computer Genius," he gives me a sheepish smile before lifting a bandana around my eyes and tying it behind my head. "No peeking. We want to do this right."
"Ugh, you know I hate surprises," I groan, crossing my arms over my chest and pouting. I'm not mad but I really would prefer being in the know and not a surprise.
"You'll like this one," Gunner retorts from his spot in the front seat.
The rest of the drive passes in silence, just music playing over the radio. I'm pretty sure the guys left my phone plugged in because each of the songs that pay are the ones I have in my playlist. I'm honestly surprised they left the country music to play. Sebastian hates country music but he hasn't tried to change the song. I'm impressed, maybe he is starting to learn.
Thirty minutes pass before the car begins to slow and I feel us come to a stop. "Can I take this thing off now?" I ask, reaching up to fidget with it.
"Nope, it stays on," Creed answers as he opens the door and helps guide me out of the car and to my feet. I'm not left standing long before a pair of arms grasps me and lifts me into them. I settle myself against the chest, trusting my men to take care of me, wherever we are.
My body rocked softly in the arms that held me. A few times I felt leaves brushing against my body but for the most part, there was nothing that would give away where we are at. They only carried me for another ten minutes before we came to a stop and I was placed on my feet.
"Alright, Princess, we're here. Are you going to be good when I take this blindfold off or not?" Sebastian questions softly in my ear as his arms wrap around my waist. I can feel his heart beating against my back and the safety I feel with him makes me relax in his hold. I can be pissed and still trust him.
"I'll behave," I call out my voice having a small bit of lust mixed in.
"Good girl," he answers, pulling back to reach the tie of the blindfold.
The second it drops from my eyes I gasp. I know exactly where we are. A beautiful glistening lake stands before me with a small sandy beach area. Trees surround the area making it all the more private. This is the exact place where the guys defended me against Jimmy Teller and declared that I was theirs. It's where Gunner first told me he loved me while Sebastian and Creed were in the water nearby. It's one of the first places we had group sex, late at night when I snuck out of the house to spend time with them.
Memory after memory floods my mind as I look around the area and then at my men. They did this for me. Bringing me back here was a reminder of where we started and how much we mean to one another. Tears prick the corner of my eyes but I manage to wipe them away quickly before any of them can notice.
"So what do you think, Babe?" Gunner questions as he grasps my hand and pulls me to the side where Creed is finishing setting up a little picnic for us.
"I think," I mutter before taking a deep breath. "I think this is the sweetest thing you all have ever done for me."
"Good," his voice is full of pride as he helps me sit down on the blanket. "Now, we are going to show you just how much you mean to us. This picnic is about you, about us. Give us a chance to remind you of why you belong to us."
"Give me a chance to grovel," Sebastian chimes in at the end as he gets down on one knee in front of me. "What do you say, wife?"
"Give it your best," I wink and chuckle reaching around him to pluck a strawberry out of the bowl Creed just sat down. This was about to be the best date ever. Especially making all of them grovel. Sebastian wasn't the only one to have shit to make up for. Each of my men does the same as I do. This date I hope is about to make all of us stronger and heal together.
