Alaura woke up after only getting three hours of sleep, but she was not surprised even after 13 years. She was never about to sleep and never understood why. As she looked at her phone seeing in its six in the morning, Alaura got up. Alaura stepped out on the sidewalk in leggings and a bra sports bra covered by a lion king jacket and air max shoes started running to the pace of Eminem and Macklemore. She ended up running for two hours before heading to the hotel to shower then meet her family for breakfast, but may not eat.
At ten o'clock, Alaura walked downstairs to meet her family. Erie was already downstairs. She walked of the last stair to be tackled in a hug by her niece, Emma Rose. Everyone laughed when Alaura was tackled by a eight year old. They walked over to everyone. Alaura waved at her sister in law and hugged her brother, not seeing him for two years. " I'm home." Alaura nodded then they headed in the restaurant.
They walked in. Erie looked at her phone. They were seated with an extra two chairs. Everyone looked at Erie. " I have friends coming." After they ordered drinks, Roman and Taker walked in the restaurant with Roman sitting near Erie then Taker near Alaura. Taker kissed Alaura cheek, " Morning Darling." Alaura waved. Taker looked around the table seeing a man who had Erie eyes and the twins skin tone with a young girl, who had Alaura eyes. " Laura is this your boyfriend-" the young man look at the girl "- Emma Rose Dawson! You don't ask that! Apologize now." " Sorry Auntie." " Cameron Michael! She fine." Cameron looked at Alaura. Erie looked between them " guys stop! Oh sorry! Guys this is Joe and Mark," as she pointed to Roman and Taker. Cameron nodded at them. The waiter came to order. Everyone ordered, but Alaura. Taker looked at her " not hungry?" Alaura shook her head. "Talk darling." " I never eat before a race-" "More like the day of!" Alaura looked at her sister in law. Taker called the waiter over ordering fruit and a bagel in case she changed her mind. Everyone got the opportunity to hang out and get to know each other before the race.
The race was worth all the training done by Alaura and Kay for the past five years. Alaura won first place. After celebrating with her family, Erie and Alaura went with the guys to the bar. The guys ordered drinks as the girls danced. Roman looked at Taker as he watched Alaura move on the dance floor. "See a future?" "Do you? "I can't say. Me and Erie don't have a strong desire like you too. We're getting to know each other." Taker nodded while continuing to watch them and drink his Jack. Alaura and Erie came back with their drinks of choice. "What they Darling?" "Henn. Why Mark?" "I didn't think you drink." Erie laughed knowing her sister can hold liquor with the best of them. An hour later everyone headed out. Roman decided to take Erie to an early breakfast as in was four in the morning. Alaura started to head to her car before she felt Mark lightly grab her arm. She turned around and felt Mark lift her to sit on the hood of his truck then with her eye level to him they kissed. While Mark kissed her. Mark pulled away, "Surprise Darling" before kissing her again which she responds by kissing him back.
