“Or when you followed us last night?” he offers, leaning in to cage me. “You saw everything?” he asks.
I nod, and I see his eyes flare as Bray stiffens beneath me. They’re concerned it will change how I see them, but I simply lean up and kiss Cyrus. “Thank you for protecting me.”
“Always, baby girl,” he murmurs before standing with a smile. “But you still don’t get to come, that’s your punishment.”
“That’s just fucking mean, you psychopath,” I whine. “I need orgasms to heal.”
“Tough shit,” he retorts.
Mean.
I spend the morning being teased but never really touched. I help Asher paint—well, mainly I distract him until Bray kidnaps me and we play pool. I win his bike for a week, all his underwear so he has to go commando, and the right to peg him, which he looks both worried and excited for. Cyrus just watches it all, checking on me all the time. I’m not fragile. I broke last night, but I’m okay today. Amazing actually, like I can finally breathe with that off my chest, but under it all... there’s a feeling, a bad feeling, like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
When I go to the toilet after dinner and realise I’ve started my period, I shrug it off as that.
Rolling my eyes at my own foolishness, I grab a tampon, and after cleaning up and changing my underwear, I wash my hands and head back to chill with the guys. I wondered why my nipples seemed sensitive, usually it’s a good indicator of when I’m about to start, but with everything going on, not to mention the stress of last night, it didn’t even cross my mind.
Oh well.
“Everything okay?” Asher asks.
“Yeah, just my period came on is all.” I sigh and flop down with Cyrus who instantly grabs me, pulls me onto his lap, and starts to massage my back where the pain is. Bray jumps up, points at me, and smiles.
“Don’t move, the Bray period pack to the rescue!” he yells and runs away as I stare at him in confusion.
“Bray period pack?” I repeat.
Cyrus winces, then he explains, “When you first moved in, he wanted to plan for your periods in case you ever needed anything—oh fuck.” He groans and closes his eyes as Bray skids back into the room with, yep, an actual bag with a skull on the front labelled ‘Period Rescue.’
Fuck is right.
He drops in front of me and starts methodically pulling supplies out as he talks. “Okay, are you in pain? Do you need pain relief? What about an ice pack? Hot water bottle? I heard those are good. I also have tampons, pads, this little cup thing which I don’t quite know what you do with,” he offers, holding a Mooncup up and squeezing it.
It’s so adorable, I can’t help but laugh. “Not right now. The pain relief would be nice though,” I tell him when his face drops.
He’s up again instantly, grabbing a water and quickly handing me two pills. I take them as he watches like a worried mother before, without asking, he goes and makes a hot water bottle and settles it across my stomach.
“There.” He nods, his expression serious. “What else did the internet say—ah, chocolate!”
“Bray, I don’t need—” I start, but he’s already gone and back with a giant bar of chocolate. “Okay, yeah, maybe I do,” I say as he hands it over.
I end up sharing it with Cyrus and Asher as Bray covers us in a blanket and hands me the remote. “Put on whatever makes you happy.”
I put on a horror film, and Cyrus rumbles out a laugh. “That’s my girl.”
So, to the sound of screams of people being eaten, Asher paints a masterpiece, Bray gives me massages and chocolate, and Cyrus holds me. It’s the best period I’ve ever had. I hear my phone ringing, and Bray grabs it for me. When I answer the FaceTime, I see Allegra and Lexi, with club music playing in the background.
“Hey, babe, we wanted to see how you are,” Lexi says worriedly.
“Yeah, and to make sure you hadn’t been arrested.” Allegra laughs.
“I’m okay, and nope, for once,” I tease, grinning at them.
“Good, I was so worried.” Lexi sighs.
“I promise I’m okay, sweetie,” I assure her and wink at Allegra as she smiles at Lexi. I may be younger, but both Allegra and I look out for Lexi. She’s just too damn sweet and innocent, unlike us.
“Serina wanted to check in as well, so I’ll let her know you’re okay. She also apologised for them getting back here and has hired more security. Oh, and she handed the others their asses, so it will be like performing in Fort fucking Knox now.” Allegra laughs. “And some of those security guards? Girl, they are fine.”
“Nope, no more men. The bed won’t fit them,” Asher calls distractedly, making me snort, and Allegra grins as Lexi’s eyes widen. It’s then I realise I never really introduced them to the guys, but now isn’t the time. There’s a girls’ talk due first. My heart twinges at what they might think. Will they be disgusted or support me?
“Okay, well, we’ll leave you to whatever you are doing. We’re due on stage. Girls’ night next week at Lexi’s though?”
“Sounds good. See you guys!” I hang up and snuggle against Cyrus as another notification buzzes my phone.
“Fucking hell. Why did we decide to date someone with so many friends?” he mutters. “Tell them to fuck off.”
“I’ll just mute it,” I tell him, and I do it without looking at the message before tossing it to the other side of the sofa. I’m too comfy as I snuggle closer to give it a second thought. A few hours and several horror movies later, I find myself drifting off to sleep again.
