Home is Where You Are

Chapter 7

I'm being kissed awake.

"Ew, why are you waking me up?" I ask, disgusted.

"Because the sun is shining bright and Dad said we're taking the boat out!" Liam says.

He sounds so excited.

"Last time I went on a boat, I was ten! Get up, get dressed!"

I resist the urge to tell him to fuck off and drag myself down the hall. I get my white sundress and my black pushup bikini from my bag. I take a shower and tend to my bikini line and I shave everything and I dry off and blow dry my hair.

"Abby, hurry up!" Liam says. "I wanna go!"

I smile. He's so excited.

I put my hair in a messy bun on my head and I pull on my bikini. I adjust my boobs. I look hot as fuck.

My bikini is netting kinda. I can't explain it, but it's honestly adorable.

I pull my sundress over my head and leave the bathroom.

I put my clothes with the rest of them, and I put on my flip flops. Liam walks in.

"Abby!" he says. "Let's go!"

I laugh and grab my phone, keys, and wallet. I get my sunscreen from my bag and towels. I put everything I need, including my tanning oil, in my bag.

"ABBY!" Liam yells from the living room. "Let's go!"

I walk out of his room.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

We go outside. Mrs. Ashton locks the door behind us.

"Abby, you're in the middle. You're the smallest." Zeke says.

"What?" I gasp. "I have just as much muscle as you do!"

"Bullshit." He says. "Besides, my shoulders are wider than yours."

I look at Liam.

"What's your excuse?" I pout. He kisses my lips.

"My dick is bigger."

Mr. Ashton, Liam, an Zeke all start laughing. I look at Mrs. Ashton.

She sighs and rolls her eyes.

"This is gonna be a long day."

We all pile into the car.

"Alright, so, as you all know, the boat fits fifty."

"Right." Liam says.

"So, this is actually a giant family function. We're spending the night on the island."

Fuck.

I'm not good with new people.

Especially my boyfriends family.

"How many people are we talking?" Liam asks.

"Nineteen." Mr. Ashton says.

"Shit. Who?" Liam asks.

"Well, everyone that Abby knows, so us, and Grandma Jean, Grandpa Alan, Aunt Alyssa, Uncle Richard, and Adrian."

"Okay." Liam says.

"And then Nana and Grandpa, Aunt Stacy, Uncle Paul, Mason, Michael, Maxwell, Caroline, and Caroline's boyfriend, Shaun."

"Shit." Liam says. "Mason and Max and Mike are coming too?"

He looks so excited.

"Yeah."

"Oh my god, this is gonna be so much fun! Babe, you're gonna love Mason and Max and Mike! They're my cousins on Dad's side. So is Nana and Grandpa and Caroline."
