The Adventure of a Lifetime Part 2: Texas Bound

I failed you...

Finding a pair of strappy sandals, I put them by the door. Going back to the bathroom, I pull my makeup out, going lite. Looking in the mirror, I feel really pretty today. I can see the changes in my body. I hold my arms out, looking at the scars. Still slightly red, they could be worse. The laser healing they did in Korea made a massive difference though. The scars are not near as large as others I've seen, so I know I am so very blessed. I realize, I'm ok with the scars. They don't bother me like I thought they would. And the swelling has gone down nearly all the way. I stand there, amazed at what I see.

As I finish up, I hear a knock on my door. "Woman, let me in! There is way too much testosterone out here for one female to handle!" I laugh as I open the door, letting Ren in. Taking one look at me, she lets out a whistle. "Damn babe, you look hot! OMG. Do a spin, let me see. How are you feeling? No arms covered today? Are you ok to go without the suit for another day?"

"Yes, I can go without the suit for the day. Now, I will warn you. I do get tired a lot more easily that I used to. This surgery has taken a lot out of me and I still have a lot to do to get better. Plus, the surgery I had to have because of the whole infection thing. I've got to start working out and I have doctor appointment coming up with a doc here. So, don't be surprised if you see me nod off some. Also, we have to get the guys clothes. Got any ideas?"

"Already taken care of. So, we are going to the house first. Once there, I already have some disguises and then we will split up in groups to hit different areas. That way everyone will go in different directions, but no one is going to look the same. Well, accept you. Though, I have an idea for that too. How do you feel about changing your hair some? Nothing drastic, but I think you need some color in your hair."

"What are we talking about? I'm not cutting my hair short."

"A little bit of cutting, but definite color refresher. So, the guys go with my guys. You and I will get your hair done. But house first." We walk out of the bedroom, and she goes immediately into high gear. "Get a move on people! We got places to go and things to see. Oh, and Somil and Sarai said they were staying in today. The flight really took it out of them both." Ren walks by Minho, smacking his ass on the way out.

"What the... Lynn, reel in your bestie. She is not allowed to smack my ass! That's your job! And when did you get their numbers?"

I start laughing, then look over at him. "Hate to tell you, she's a butt-hunter just like you. So, you might want to get used to it. She used to smack mine all the time. It also tells me; she really is comfortable with you guys and trust you. Not just anyone gets a butt- smack. Count yourself as blessed by the butt fairy." He looks at me with absolute indignation. I look over at Han and wink and we both lose it laughing, with everyone joining in. Eventually, Minho grins and just shakes his head.

I sit down, watching as each gets ready for our day. "As for when, yesterday before they left for the hotel, Sarai gave her Ren her number." When Chris comes out, I stand up. He left his natural curls, which I love. Walking to him, I run my fingers through his soft curls.

"I love when you leave your hair like this. I don't get to see it enough."

"Ugh, I struggle with my curls. But I will try to accept them and let them be for you. They are just so unruly!"

"You need some hair oil and some good mousse. We'll get some. I need some for mine anyhow. I think I need to let mine be natural for at least a few days with no heat after I get it done today. Especially since I have no idea what Ren's idea is. I told her no major length gone."

"Please, no cutting short! I love your long hair. It's always so soft. We all love running our hands through it. By the way, I really like the dress today. You look amazing." He leans forward, kissing my forehead. "I think we are all ready. Saur, where is this house?" I lead us all outside where Ren and the guys are waiting by their vehicles. "Stay here, I'll be right out." I close the door, locking it.
