~Paula’s POV~

The party had gone well, many people showed up to say good bye to Bailey and all eyes glared at us. Mostly Chris and I sat on the couch in silence, after a few tries to talk civil with the mingling people and getting cursed or ignored we decided to just keep an eye on the events happening with in the house.

By the time things wound down both of us and even Bailey who denied it at the time was exhausted so it was time for bed. I stayed up to clean with they went to sleep. Tomorrow was the last day here, our plane was set to leave at six pm so we agreed to let Bailey go to the beach one last time, we’d be getting up at five thirty which lucky for us wasn’t exactly early due to getting up to take care of the ranch.

Buzzzzzzzzzzz……

Groaning at the annoying noise on the bedside table, Christine rolled over on top of me shutting the alarm off. Blinking I saw her hovered above me with a soft smile, “Morning love,” she let her lips crush mine in a supple kiss that got me awake very quickly.

“Morning…urg…I’m so tired,” she giggled as she crawled over me to get out of bed effectively kneeing me in the stomach.

“Ouch…Chris,” she just laughed and headed to the shower. She loved to do that to officially get me out of bed, “I’ll get you back for that.”

“Oh hush,” she stuck her head out of the bathroom door showing that she had already taken off her pajama top since I could see the flesh on her shoulders, “Why don’t you go wake up Bailey.”

“Fine,” I whined pulling myself out of bed and crossing the hall way to her room. Lifting her hand to rap her knuckles on the hard wood letting the resounding thud alerting the girl sleeping inside, “Bailey,”

She cracked the door open peeking inside just to see the girl snuggle further into the covers, “Go away,”

Taking a deep breath to control the anger rising with in my stomach I took a step in, “You need to get up and ready if you want to surf before we leave today.”
