CHAPTER 33
As the guys came to the back door, they stopped to see Harry sitting at the table and I was leaning over the garden bed so Lucas walked around the garden and he kneeled down behind me and wrapped his arms around me while I was still on the ground and he rested his chin on my shoulder.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“Baking a cake.” I said, sarcastically. And Jax scoffed.
“Okay. I’ll rephrase. Why are you gardening?” He asked.
“Because your house looked sad.” I said.
“Our house.” He whispered in my ear, giving me a chill down the spine when he did that. So he kissed me on the neck. I stood up, but Lucas didn’t let go of me and stood up in unison with me while I looked back down at the garden and Jax walked over and gave me a kiss as well.
I felt my cheeks start to blush with embarrassment as I was also feeling a little shy and nervous. I looked over at Harry to see his reaction while I was trying to calm myself a little but he didn’t show any reaction at all.
“I think it looks beautiful.” Jax said.
“I’m not finished yet.” I said.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s still beautiful.” He said.
“It’ll look a lot better when it’s finished.” I said.
“I love it.” Lucas said.
“It’s gonna look great. It’ll be good to give this place a bit of color.” Harry said, surprising me. I didn’t think he would praise me for the garden. But it might have something to do with me wanting to get lilies now. I couldn’t forget to do that. I know that it will mean a lot to him. And it might actually make him warm up to me a little bit more. I was hoping at least.
Lucas leaned down while he still had me wrapped in his arms and he plucked one of the red roses and he placed it behind my ear.
I was starting to feel really shy and wanted to escape his arms for a bit, but he only tightened his grip around me. Not letting me go. So I didn’t really have much choice but to lean back onto his body and just nestle against him while he was practically supporting most of my weight. But he didn’t seem to mind. It’s like he didn’t feel my weight at all against him.
I could feel his heartbeat and it was really relaxing and I stood there looking at where I could put other flowers. Or if I would dedicate this one to roses and create other gardens to different flowers. I wasn’t sure yet.
“So, what are your plans for today?” I asked.
“Well, we were going to go to the shooting range for a bit. But I’ll stay here with you.” Lucas said.
“Shooting range? That actually sounds interesting.” I said. And he pulled back to look at my face to see if I was actually serious.
I was serious and I wanted to see what it looked like.
“Do you want to come?” He asked.
“Yeah. I’d love to.” I said. So he leaned forward and kissed me.
“Well, we need to find you something appropriate to wear first.” He said.
“What the hell does someone wear to a shooting range?” I asked.
“Something bulletproof.” Jax said.
“I think you guys are the ones that are gonna have to wear bullet proof. I don’t have the best track record with guns.” I said. And they looked at each other, remembering the day I almost put a bullet in my own head.
None of them looked too impressed by what I said, but I just chuckled and told them that I was kidding. I promise not to hold any guns today. And I don’t want to kill myself anymore. So they didn’t have anything to worry about.
Jax just shook his head and Lucas grabbed my hand and dragged me inside the house.
We went upstairs to my room and we started looking through my clothes to see what I could wear to the shooting range that looked appropriate enough.
But I had been gardening all morning so I went to have a shower and I took my clothes into the bathroom because I knew Lucas would be waiting for me in my room.
I got dressed in a black single, long tan cargo pants and black boots.
I walked out of the bathroom and I was right. Lucas was waiting for me but he had to go and get ready as well. And so did the others so I went to the kitchen to get a coffee while I waited for them.
I know that Lucas just liked sitting outside the bathroom door while I was taking a shower because he can hear the shower running.
He wasn’t coming on too strong and they were keeping their distance until they knew that I was ready, but they were being really patient with me and I guess that is about as close as he can get.
“Do you think it’s a good idea to take Skylar to the shooting range?” Harry asked.
“Why not?” Lucas asked.
“Because she’s already starting to catch on to a lot around here. Stuff that she probably shouldn’t know about.” Harry said.
“It’ll be fine. Don’t stress. We’ll be in complete control of what she sees.” Jax said.
When they all came to the kitchen they saw that I was sitting there and they froze at the doorway.
“I don’t have to come with you today if it’s going to be a problem. I can stay here.” I said.
“No. It’s fine. Don’t worry about Harry. He just worries too much. Come on, let’s go.” Lucas said, grabbing my hand and he pulled me off the chair and past Harry and Jax as we were heading towards the front door.
Harry having concerns about me going with them was now concerning. I don’t know why he would be so worried about taking me to a shooting range. What would I possibly see there except people lined up shooting at targets.
I knew that it would be loud. But what else would be there? And once again, Harry has completely confused the fuck out of me.
