So it turns out that I'm still absolutely petrified of horror movies.

Annabelle scares the literal crap out of me and I'm definitely going to have many sleepless nights to look forward to now.

"Baby, it's just a movie." Rio whispers as I almost have my fifth heart attack of the night so far.

Just a movie? Does he not know that there is an actual Annabelle doll?

He chuckles and pulls me further into his chest, his arm wrapped around me and his fingers intertwined with mine.

Kayin's backyard is set up beautifully tonight. There's a projector beaming onto a large sheet which is being held up by a collection of poles. Gold fairy lights hang in various places around the yard, making it feel cosy and snug.

I glance down and my eyes connect with the small word that Rio tattooed on himself tonight. Dea. It's something so small and simple, yet so meaningful too.

Thankfully, We're The Miller's begins to play and I begin to feel a little more relaxed, knowing I can actually sit through this without hiding behind my hands.

Brody returns with another drink and walks by when he freezes, slowly turning his head back towards us and widening his eyes as they zero in on Rio's neck.

"Jesus Rio, who the fuck gave you that? Damon Salvatore?" He gasps as he examines the freshly inflicted bruise on his skin.

Done specifically by yours truly.

"Thea, I'm going to start calling you fucking Jaws soon." He snorts and I feel myself starting to grin at him. He returns to his beanbag and clasps his hands together over his stomach, watching the movie

Rio chuckles as he brings his hand up to touch the hickey, his top teeth pulling at his lip ring. "Is it sore?" I ask, suddenly growing concerned at the fact his fingers are still circling the bruise.

"No, it's fine." He murmurs before pressing a tender kiss to my forehead.

I rest my head back against his chest as I focus my attention on the movie. Kayin and Sienna are snuggled up on a blanket to my left, propped up against some cushions while Jacey and Myla are snuggled on a blanket to my right.

Brody seems quite content sat in his beanbag with a bowl of popcorn and a beer, laughing at something that Jason Sudeikis says.
