Movie Night
1349 Words
After I finished eating, I was instantly tired. The effects of the adrenaline of the day’s events had worn off. I wanted to go upstairs to my temporary room, but I couldn't bring myself to leave the table. I didn’t want to be alone.
“Hey guys?”
“Need something, Sweetness?”
“Can we watch a movie of something? I noticed a nice big TV and some couches that looked extra comfy in the other room.”
“Sure. Any movie in particular you want to watch?”
“I don’t know, something light and funny sounds good to me after today. I think laughter is what’s needed.”
“I got it! The Hangover, the first one. That movie is one of the funniest ever made and produced,” said Andrew.
“It is a good one. Yeah, The Hangover sounds good to me.” I concur.
Evander asks the kitchen staff to pop us some popcorn. Andrew grabs some snacks from the pantry, and Osiris makes us all root beer floats.
The main living room of the guesthouse is decorated in the same teal, white, and gray colors as my room. It has a matching oversized couch with a chassis lounge on one side of it, a loveseat, two recliners, a coffee table and two end tables. It looks very much like my living space except everything is larger and plusher. The TV is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen. It is mounted on the wall adjacent to the fireplace. The fireplace mantel is made of the same gray-toned reclaimed wood that is featured throughout the entire home.
I go into the living room, and I move a few of the tables around so we all have a space to put our snacks. I grabbed some extra blankets and pillows from the hallway linen closet. I toss a couple of pillows and blankets on each of the sitting areas. Evander creates a fire in the fireplace. I looked around and saw the living room all cozy. That was exactly what I needed.
Andrew and Osiris came into the living room with the snacks and root beer floats. The kitchen staff follows with the popcorn. I think it’s the biggest bowl of popcorn I’ve ever seen. Everyone places their goodies on the coffee table that I moved into the center of all the sitting areas.
“Aww, Little Luna, this place looks great.”
“Thanks Andrew. I wanted it to be warm and cozy.”
“You did a good job.”
“Let’s start this movie. Everyone get comfortable,” ordered Evander.
As the movie started, I sat down in the middle of the couch. That seat looked like it was going to have the best view of the movie. Andrew came over and sat on my right side, which is also the chassis lounge side, Osiris sat on my left. Evander grabbed a cushion from the loveseat, two pillows and a blanket. He then walked over and plopped down in front of me, making himself a little nest with the side of the chassis lounge and the front of the couch. He was using the loveseat cushion to sit on. He looked quite comfortable.
Osiris got up and dimmed the lights.
“I’m going to close the curtains, is that OK?” Osiris asked.
“Please don’t,” I said.
“OK. Any reason why?”
“I like the wide openness of the view. I know it’s dark. But the stars and the blackness of the sky, contrasted with the fire in the fireplace, is somehow calming.”
“I won’t close the curtains,” said Osiris as he walked over and sat down at his claimed spot on the couch.
The movie started, and I fell fast asleep cuddled next to Andrew, my feet on Osiris’s lap, and Evander posted up down in front of me. I felt so relaxed I didn’t even notice I had fallen asleep until the movie was over, and Andrew woke me.
“Little Luna, wake up?” whispered Andrew.
My eyes opened and I looked around. It took me a few seconds to get my bearings and remember I was in Guesthouse 1 and not my cottage.
“Hey Andrew, sorry I fell asleep. What time is it?”
“It’s a little after 4am.”
“Si and Ev?”
“Right here, Sweetness.” I looked down and saw Evander still in his spot on the floor.
I sat up slightly and realized that Osiris was sleeping on the other end of the couch, my feet still resting in his lap.
“Do you want to go up to your room, Little Luna? It might be more comfortable than the couch.”
“Honestly, Andrew, I don’t want to be alone. The events of the last few days have drained me, and I don’t feel like being by myself.”
“OK. What do you want to do?”
“I would like to change into my jammies and sleep in that big, beautiful bed upstairs.”
“OK?”
“You snore,” whispered Osiris.
“I do not! I don’t snore.” I laughed. “When did you wake up?” I asked Osiris.
“I woke up shortly after the snoring stopped. The movie was over, and you stopped snoring, it made the room to quiet to sleep,” chuckled Osiris.
“You do snore, Little Luna. I was going to tell you that this morning, but you kissed me instead.”
“You kissed Andrew this morning?” asked Evander with feigned astonishment.
I could feel my cheeks redden.
“He started it.” I said as I pointed at Andrew.
Andrew placed his hand on his chest and opened his mouth in protest. “I did no such thing, Little Luna. I believe your exact words were ‘f**k it’ and you grabbed me and kissed me,” he said jokingly.
“What else happened before we showed up?” asked Evander playfully.
“After she kissed me, she told me I was beautiful, she made me breakfast and begged me to move in with her.”
“Andrew! That is NOT what happened!”
“That’s my version of what happened.”
I shook my head and laughed. These three were just what I needed right now. Light-heartedness, good laughs, and fun. I adored these guys. I missed our closeness.
“What a day! You went from kissing Andrew, to having us show up on your porch with pizza, getting a call from work and your co-worker accidentally telling us how much you secretly love us, finding out your friend wasn’t murdered but her cousin was. You try to tell on me to Alpha Kordell, you find out you’ve been bound twice, your mom was a powerful wolf, your house gets broken into, you have to move into this guesthouse with us and be under 24-hour surveillance. You discovered a power you didn’t know you had, you met your wolf Rana, she called us mates, and you saw Alpha Kordell, Beta Jacob, Gamma Benji, and all three of us naked. That’s an interesting day,” recapped Osiris.
“That’s a long, emotional day, is what it is. For the record, I didn’t try to tell on you. We’re not pups. I don’t secretly love you guys, either. I may have said I thought you three were a little on the handsome side, but that’s all I recall divulging. I could’ve gone my entire existence without seeing the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma naked.” I sighed and laughed.
“Everyone, it’s almost 5am, I’m tired. We’ve got to get up in a few hours. What are we doing about the sleeping arrangements?” asked Evander.
“Can we sleep in my room? I’m pretty sure the bed is big enough for all of us. I don’t want to be alone. Truth be told, when I’m near one of you, I sleep better. Apparently, I even snore.”
