Nadine Book 7

37. Luggage

I wake up in my underwear laying across them.

I wiggle and feel their skin.

Johen open his eyes. "You get some sleep baby?"

I nod and snuggle him.

"Good girl. I'm going to go home and take a bath. I'll see you in the morning room ok?"

I stretch big. "Ok."

He kisses my head before he goes.

I attack Marcus with kisses. I kiss his lips and his marking spots.

He gets the hint and makes love to me. Then he pulls out and cums on my belly. I don't know if I like that.

"No mine."

"It's yours baby. We don't want you having to deal with c*m running out of you. It will cause melt downs." He gives me a kiss. "If you really want it in there. I will put it there next time. It is yours. I'm not saying it's not yours."

"Ok."

He carries me to the bath.

After that, he puts me on his back and carries me to the morning room. All the boys are here except Nikolas. Marcus puts me in a chair and sits beside me. Then he puts his head on the table. I eat toast and grapes.

Dipak smiles. "So how did it go?"

Johen kisses my cheek. "She did fine. I only woke up a couple times."

Tre nods. "So what really happened?"

Marcus sits up and shakes his head. Then he rubs his eyes. "Johen is like Tye. Johen reacted to her probably 50 times. But never woke up. He would talk to her. Rub on her back. Hold her. Reposition her. He would do everything in his sleep. He would only really wake up if she started to cry. I woke up every single time. We have to put Tye and Johen together with her."

"That had to have been different."

"It was the weirdest thing. He would pick her up and rub her back. Talk to her. She would calm right down and go back to sleep. But he wouldn't wake up. His eyes would never open. He slept all night. Except maybe 3 times, when she was crying. Then he would wake up and see what was going on... Hell, he even took the shirt off her in his sleep, so she could have more skin contact."

"Damn."

"I don't know if it's because they're young, they can do that or if that's just the way it will be with them forever."

Dipak looks at Johen. "And you're completely fine? You had enough sleep? You don't need a nap?"

"I'm perfect. I slept good. I always sleep good and wake up early with her."

Tye twirls my hair. "She's not hard to sleep with. I always thought you guys were just overreacting saying she moves a lot. The only time she wakes me up is if she falls out of bed."

Johen chuckles. "Or punches hard."

"Those toes in the ribs. But that's it."

"What about when she sleeps on you?"

"I love that. I sleep so hard. I don't even move."

Tye nods. "It makes me more comfortable when she's that comfortable. I sleep the best like that. And all those cuddles I get when you're like that. That's the best."

I smile big and nod.

Dipak nods. "The 2 of you sleep with her tonight. But leave the door open because I need to see this and check on it."

"Don't be surprised when I jump up and stab the strange man standing by my bed watching me sleep."

"I'll bring a shield. But I'll be quiet. I need to be able to check on her. And if you need anything summon me. Don't get to the point where you're getting stressed. You summon me before that."

"We already know."

"You make us stressed about it. We already know how to sleep."

Marcus stands up. "I'll be in my office until lunch with the door shut. I'll put guards on the door. No one in. I'm working very hard."

Tre carries me up to Dipak's office. Elek and Tobias are here.

Coral smiles. "You need men's and women's' shorts. I'm putting them in the spa store for you. Also you'll have sea glass and white options for mostly everything. And the boys like the shirts with the collars, so I'm adding those too."

"Ok. No white swim suits though. They are see threw."

"Good to know."

Elek looks around. "I have a price list for the packages going. I don't know who to send it to."

Tre nods. "Hold it for now. I'll go over it in a couple days if it still needs approval. Sort out the store and work with Coral to make sure the colors and options are ready. Then get a stock list going. The stuff Nadine already approved, you can start making. Run general numbers by me. Obviously we don't want 5,000 of every size men's tank top. Start her out with something reasonable like 20 each."

"And my mom is here with that baby thing I was telling Thora about. She's with Aurelia and Asa I believe."

"Thank you Elek. I'll go talk to her as soon as I can."

"I FORGOT BEAR." I run back to Marcus's place to get him.

On my way back I run into Victor and Corbin in the entry.

"She's got the bear, Corbin."

"Yea I see. What's the bears name?"

"Bear."

"Very fitting name. Are you excited about the spa opening?"

I nod fast and jump up and down.

A guard stares at me and his eyes go dark.

Corbin puts an eyebrow up. "Like what you see?"

"f**k yea."

Corbin's eyes go red and he slams the guard threw a wall.

Victor grabs me around the waist. "We better go up now."

I laugh and lay down. "That tickled."

Corbin nods. "I'll get the luggage." He picks me up around my waist and carries me side ways to the elevator.

I crack up laughing the whole way.

Victor yells, "WATCH HER HEAD. You almost got it stuck in the door."

"It's fine. It's just luggage."

He bounces me a couple times and I laugh so hard. I start coughing.

Corbin puts me on my feet. "You ok?"

"AAAHHH!" I scream laugh then climb up his back.

He gives me a piggy back ride to the next elevator. He pretends to almost drop me. "Oh shit."

I crack up laughing as the doors open. We walk in and he pretends to almost drop me again.

"AAAHHH!" I laugh even harder.

Then the alarm goes off.

"Oh yea, Corbin attacked a guard."

Dipak looks at him. "Why?"

"Well." He tries to put me down and I hold on tighter and laugh.

"Woman let him answer."

Victor answers, "The guard liked Nadine way to much."

Daddy gets red eyes. "GO BACK DOWN THERE AND RIP HIS f*****g HEAD OFF."

I cry.

Dipak rubs his eyes. "Miculai don't scare her. Come here sweetheart." I run to Dipak. "Everyone, go work on your stuff. I'll go down with Corbin and Victor. We can have a nice picnic with the guard." Then he gives me a snuggle.

Tye stands up. "I need the kids towels tested for cuteness. Make sure they all have antenna or something cute and the colors are bright enough. You want to come with me and help me with that?"

"I WANT TO BE A CRAB WITH PINCHERS COMING OUT MY EARS."

"We'll have to check, I don't know if that's there."

I run to the elevator with bear.

We get to his office and all the colors are laid out on the conference table with swimsuits.

"Now we can't mess it up. We have to go through 1 at a time and make any changes."

I nod fast.

There's a lot of colors.

I check out the stack of red stuff. It's a 1 piece swimsuit, 2 piece swim suit, 2 types of skirts, men's swimsuit, men's t-shirt. A stack of kids swim suits. Adult Towel. Hair ties. Kids towel. I pick up the women's 1 piece and really look at it. It has a little lobster design on the hip. "I don't like the red. It's 1 color."

"Yea, it's the most boring. I might just get rid of it."

I pick up the towel. "IT'S A LOBSTER."

"Yea, but if you look at the orange..." He pulls the orange kids towel out. "The lobster is a hell of a lot like the crab."

"I would do orange."

"Let's start with the black and you can really get an idea. The entire line will be in the black."

I pick up the black towel and it has a red beach chair and an umbrella with red and white on it.

"That's where I'm getting the colors for the black. I still wanted red. They look good together but I wanted to stay away from the dragon eyes."

"Ok."

"Ok so the women's swimsuits are in black with a little red umbrella on the hip of both of them."

"I like that."

"I knew you would. The men's has the umbrella on the leg. The kids suits all mimic the grown ups. Hip or leg." I nod again. "Now the black line for clothes or cover ups has everything. The kids have their own towel." He hands it to me.

My eyes about pop out and I jump up and down. "IT'S A DRAGON." It has ears and whiskers poking out of the hood. Then it has red eyes. "TYE IT HAS A TAIL." I put my on my head then wrap it around me and laugh.

"It was either that or I have a red umbrella coming out of all the kids heads."

"I love this. It's perfect."

"Let's get threw them and we'll make you your favorite 1 a bit bigger."

"Ok."

Grey is elephant with big floppy ears and a trunk. Tan is a bear. Light pink is a pig.

"You should make light pink the bunny. The pig isn't very fun."

"Yea that's a good idea."

Deep blue is a shark. It's got a fin on the head and teeth go all around the face hole. Green is the sea turtle. It has big eyes and the towel part is rounded to look like a shell. I stop and try to make myself into a turtle for that one. Purple is a unicorn. I throw the dragon back into the black pile and put the unicorn on. It has a big horn on the head. Orange is the crab with big pinchers and antenna too. Yellow is some kind of seabird with a beak and feather things coming out the top. Bright pink is a ladybug with an antenna and black spots all over it. Lighter blue is a whale. It has a cloth water spurt coming out the top of the head and a fin at the bottom.

"I like them all. They are so fun and bright."

"Is the unicorn your favorite?"

I nod and poke him in the chest with the cloth horn.

"AHHH YOU GOT ME." He pretends to fall over. "What was your second favorite?"

"DRAGON AND TURTLE AND SHARK AND CRAB."

He holds out his arms and I run to him. "Thank you for helping me babydoll."

I wiggle all over him. Then Tre comes in. "How's it going?"

"Perfect. We got through the towels, and she kept the most dangerous 1."

I run for Tre head first.

"AAAHHH!" He takes off running down the hallway.

I laugh and chase him all over.

Tobias walks out into the hallway, and I run right into him horn first.

"OHHH My ribs will never be the same." He grabs his ribs and leans on the wall. Then he slides down to the floor.

I jump on him. I try to stab him in the head. Tre loses it and Tobias can't get up. I keep stabbing him and laughing.

Marcus runs over. "Why in the hell are you on top of him?"

"SHE'S STABBING ME WITH HER HEAD HORN."

I fall and lay on my back laughing.

Tobias gets up and tries to stop laughing.

Tre pulls it together. "Sorry but that was hilarious to watch."

Marcus helps me up. "Why don't you go see Elek? I think he has the whole line there now."
