The nextet ready for church

Reluctantly, I roll out of bed and drag y to washto church withlike pot

After getting presentable, I join the Cooper family for breakfast It is only day two, but I feel more comfortable than I did yesterday It feels nice to spend time with a family that actually acts like a real family

Khloe begs to ride in the car with Kai andfa both our hands I see Becks sitting with his grandpa, watching us with a shocked face as we take our seats next to Kai’s parents Penny is sitting a fes in front of us with h

er parents and Aaron

The rest of the week goes by quickly as we prepare for our trip to the beach We are supposed to leave Saturdayhis car while hisher Escalade She was hesitant to let us drive down on our own, but she eventually gave in to Kai The rest of the band isn’t driving down until Tuesday because Vance and Hunter have to work Raven is bummed that ill all be at the beach without her, but I promise to keep an eye on Jake for her as h Not that I mind

Raven coht so the only people home are Khloe and me That is until Kirk comes home Raven and I are in the kitchen while she waits for Jake to pick her up Kirk’s face turns white as a ghost when he sees Raven She grows quiet and chews her botto definitely went on between them, but what?

I don’t get the chance to ask Raven because Jake is out front beeping his horn for her After I walk her to the door, Kirk is nowhere to be found I walk upstairs and peek in on Khloe oneto ets hoet in bed early for our drive tomorrow

Kelli knocks on ets home and reminds me to setShe and Khloe are leaving about two hours before Kai andlate tonight

I crawl into bed, tossing, and turning as I listen for Kai to get in but I pass out before he does

My alarm sounds at seven am and I throw on a t-shirt and jeans and help Kelli with Khloe I fix her a bowl of cereal and help get her snacks packed in the car

Khloe throws a fit of epic proportion when she realizes I a in the car with her She rolls around on the kitchen floor, holding her breath She is definitely used to getting her way She gets into her car seat for me reluctantly with her red face streaked with tears I proether at the beach soon It seems to relax her some but not much

Once they leave, I go inside and start putting Kai’s and uitar in the backseat Jake and the boys are bringing the rest of their equipo up to Kai’s rooo tothe door to my room, I strip down to my panties and surprise him in the shower We have fooled around but we have yet to see one another fully naked, until now Well, I have my panties on, but Kai is in the buff

“What are you doing, Katie?” He asks sing hard
