KOREY "Where do you think you're going, Dakoda?" I inquire, reaching out for her elbow and swiftly turning her around to face me. I plant a kiss on her, but she pushes me away. Undeterred, I grab her again as she attempts to elbow me, but I am too close for her to be effective. "Not so fast," I assert. "You are going to talk to me." "And how on earth do you expect to make me talk to you if I don't want to?" she retorts. I simply smirk at her and proceed to lift her up, throwing her over my shoulder. "What are you doing? Put me down!" she squeals. I guide her back to the house and, upon opening the door, I instruct Gage to call Stella and inform her about Dakoda staying with us for a couple of days. "That's a great idea," Kasey chimes in, "but there's one problem: Harlan." "I'll take care of her," I assure them. "You put me down right now! This is kidnapping, and I will call the police!" Dakoda yells at me. "How are you going to do that, D? You don't have your phone." "My paren
KASEY Man, it feels so good to have Dakoda's fingers wrapped around mine again. She looks up at me and smiles, and I smile back at her. "What the fuck are you doing holding that haole's hand? Harlan yells. Am I missing something here?" he continues. "Yeah, bitch, we're done with your shit. Dakoda remembers everything," Korey tells her. "What is he doing?" Dakoda asks me. "Shit, if I know, babe," I reply. "I thought you didn't want her anymore, that's why you came back to me?" Harlan pouts, rubbing her hand up and down Korey's chest. Korey bends down in Harlan's face. "None of us wanted your sorry ass. We wanted to get Dakoda back. We knew she would get upset when we were with you, so we used your ass." "Yeah, you weren't saying that last night when I was riding all three of your dicks," Harlan says, smiling over at Dakoda. Dakoda laughs so hard I think she's going to piss herself. "What's so funny?" Harlan sneers at Dakoda. "You and your pathetic excuse for a comeback? News
DAKODA "Holy shit!" Stella just punched Harlan square in the nose. "You go sister." "Let's get to our classes," Kasey tells us, and we all head to our first classes of the day. Of course, I have it with Gage, and now that the guys know I'm still into them, they are on me all the time. Everyone keeps telling me that's how it was before my surfing accident and at first, I hated it, but after a while we were all joined at the hips. I can see that to an extent because when we are all at work away from each other, I'm constantly wondering how they are doing and if they are thinking of me, too. Boy, this cannot be healthy for any of us. I need to get some sort of balance going on here. "Dakoda, have you heard a word I've said to you?" Gage asks me. "Sorry, no, I was off in dreamland. What was it you were saying?" Gage just shakes his head and smiles at me. "I was asking you if you had to work this weekend." "Yes, I have the morning shift all weekend. Do you guys have to work?" "No,
DAKODA The guys bring me back to their house and I find myself lying on the couch. Korey returns from talking to the detective and I ask him what the detective said. Gage gets angry and questions why more proof is needed. I explain that the detective wants the person responsible to admit to their actions. Kasey expresses her dislike for the situation, but assures me that it won't be like last time. She suggests getting the person to come over and talk, hoping it will help them change their ways before causing harm to themselves or others. Korey compliments me on being a good person and asks how I'm feeling. He sits at the end of the couch and places my feet on his lap. I tell him that I'm in a lot of pain and feel like I've been thrown off a surfboard. Kasey comes out of the kitchen with water and pain pills, offering further assistance. I ask if there's anything else they can do, but request to be left alone to sleep off the pain. They agree and leave, though I worry that I may hav

KOREY Today is Saturday, so my friends and I are planning to go surfing and then prepare for a party. However, our plans are disrupted when Harlan shows up unexpectedly. Gage is frustrated and wonders how she knew we would be here. Harlan approaches us and asks if we forgot about her. Kasey expresses his annoyance and questions who invited her. I realize that Harlan must have been watching us, which angers me. Gage comments on Harlan's self-centered attitude, and I agree with him. As Harlan approaches us, I try to come up with an excuse to leave. I told her that we thought she would want to rest for the party later, but she insisted on joining us. We politely decline and say we want it to be a surprise for her and her girlfriends. Harlan swims off to join the other girls, and Kasey grumbles about her getting too much sun. I urge Kasey to leave before we get into trouble, but he defends his comments, saying he's just speaking his mind. We quickly reach our jeep before Harlan can chan
Gage Months have passed since the incident with Harlan and Dakoda, but she still believes she has control over us. She has been calling us repeatedly, trying to get us to visit her, but we refuse. I'm lying in bed with Dakoda, watching a movie she's been wanting to see. Unfortunately, it's a chick flick, so the other guys made up excuses to avoid watching it with us. "So, what's the movie about?" I ask Dakoda, and she grins mischievously. It's a story about a girl with cancer who doesn't want a guy to fall in love with her, but he does anyway. He dedicates his life to fulfilling all her wishes. How did I let Dakoda convince me to watch this? I'm madly in love with her. As the movie progresses, she starts crying. Damn it! "Do you want to watch another movie? Or can we make out now after that tear fest?" I tease her. "Sorry, I have to go home. My parents and Stella are leaving for Washington tomorrow, and I promised to stay home with Stella tonight." I don't say anything and walk
SUMMER Stella and I are at a college party, and it's pretty awesome. It's our first college party, and it's also Stella's first party ever."Are you enjoying yourself, sis?" I ask her."Yes, I really am," Stella replies, smiling at me.Stella is usually the quiet, introverted type, while I'm more outgoing and loud. So, it's a bit surprising to see her with a beer in hand, dancing and having a good time with a random guy. But I'm glad she's letting loose tonight. We're going to be seniors soon, and we need to make a name for ourselves. Being too reserved will only make her an easy target for bullies.Jax, my incredibly attractive boyfriend, comes up behind me, swaying his hips to the music. "Want to go upstairs?" he asks after a moment of grinding against me."Um, yes, definitely," I say, playfully wiggling my behind against him. "I'm going upstairs with Jax for a while. Do you think you'll be okay on your own?" I ask Stella.She gives me a look that clearly says, "Leave me alone, jerk
Dakoda "Do you feel prepared for today?" I inquire of my 3-year-old. Today marks his debut as a competitive surfer. "Yes, mommy, I was born to do this," Derek confidently responds. He resembles his fathers so much, it's uncanny. Despite only sharing DNA with Korey, he acts just like the other two in numerous ways. "Alright, little man, grab your board and make your way towards your dads in the water. Aunt Stella and I will be right behind you," I instruct Derek, and he obediently follows suit. "Wow, he's growing up so fast," Stella remarks, joining me with the baby stroller in hand. "There's my adorable niece," I exclaim. My sister recently had her first baby. We approach the spot where the guys are waiting with Derek for his turn. Of course, I am holding baby Mia, and Derek gives me a hesitant look. "Someone still isn't entirely sure about his new cousin," Mackenzie teases from behind us. Derek immediately races towards his favorite person. "Hey, bud man," Mackenzie warmly greets
Dakoda Today is Derek's first birthday, so Kasey, Korey, Gage, and I are preparing for his birthday party. Derek loves watching Paw Patrol, so we decided to have a Paw Patrol theme for his party, even though his daddies wanted a surfing theme.We started by decorating the living room with Paw Patrol banners, balloons, and streamers. We even found a Paw Patrol tablecloth and plates to match. The room looked vibrant and exciting, just like Derek's favorite show.Next, we planned some Paw Patrol-themed games and activities. We set up a mini obstacle course in the backyard, inspired by the show's rescue missions. The kids could crawl through tunnels, jump over hurdles, and balance on a beam with their parents' help of course. We also prepared a Pin the Badge on Chase game, where the kids would be blindfolded and try to stick a Paw Patrol badge on a poster of Chase.For the food, we decided to incorporate both themes. We made
Korey D and baby Derek have spent the past two days in the hospital, which gave the guys and me the opportunity to complete the nursery before bringing them home. Kasey, Gage, and I are on our way to pick up our wife and baby from the hospital. As we get closer, I'm feeling nervous. I hope I can be a good dad to this little guy who is coming home with us today. As we pull into the hospital parking lot, my heart starts racing. I can't believe that in just a few minutes, I'll be holding my son for the first time. Kasey and Gage try to reassure me, telling me that I'll be a great dad, but the nerves are still there. We make our way to the maternity ward and find D's room. She's sitting up in bed, looking tired but radiant. Baby Derek is swaddled in a blanket, sleeping peacefully in her arms. My heart swells with love and pride as I see them together. D smiles at us as we enter the room, and I can't help but feel a wave of relief wash over me. She looks exhausted but happy, and I know
It has been a few months since we moved into the house across from my parents. Baby Derek has grown so much, and I am now in my last month of pregnancy. We had a blood test done to determine the father, and it turns out he is Korey's. The doctor found it amusing that I had been with all three guys, but we just wanted to be sure of the paternity. We didn't really care who the father was, but we wanted to know for any potential genetic issues. I hope we never have to go through that, but you never know. Right now, I am sitting on the beach watching the guys surf. I really miss surfing with them, and I can't wait to get our little guy on his first surfboard. He will be surfing before he can even walk. Korey comes and sits down beside me on his towel. "Are you going to sit and stare at us all day, D?" Korey teases me. "No, I actually plan on opening my book and reading it, and then I want my husband’s to take me out to eat," I tell him. "Are you hungry, D?" Korey asks,
DakodaThe guys are busy moving heavy items into the house, and I can't wait to share the news I just found out with them. However, I'm also nervous about their reaction. I hope they won't be as excited as I am, as it might disrupt our plans. Stella giggles and exclaims, "This is so exciting!" We all laugh, but I quickly hush the girls, realizing that Gage overheard something. I inform him that he'll have to wait until tonight to find out.After everything is settled in the house and the girls leave, I cook a meal for the guys to show my appreciation for their hard work. Once they're seated at the table, I stand up and gather their attention. "I have something important to tell you," I say, clearing my throat.Korey looks concerned and urges me to share. Taking a deep breath, I reveal, "I haven't been feeling well for the past few weeks, so I went to the doctor. Today, I received some results." My nervousness resurfaces."Go on, D," Korey encourages me."The doctor called and informed
Dakota, “We shouldn’t be doing this on the day of the wedding.” I whisper to the guys. “We are just getting the honeymoon started early, is all.” Korey whispers back and I giggle at him. “Our parents are going to be mad at us if we are late for our own wedding.” I tell them then try to get out of the water. But the boys are not having any of it and pull me back in. “Just one more wave, Dakoda, then we will go.” Kasey says. “No, you will get your asses out of that water this instant.” Mackenzie yells at us. “Told you y’all were going to get me in trouble.” I tell them then swat each one of them on the arm. I paddle my board out of the water and wave bye to the guys as Mac and Stella are dragging me away from my boys. “Hey wait, at least let us give her a kiss before we don’t see her again for a couple hours.” Gage yells. “Nope.” Mac shakes her head and off to the car we go. I love marrying Korey, but I’m sad I can’t legally marry all three of my partners. We got them rings too,
Kasey It has been several months since the guys and I reported the individuals responsible for capturing and killing dolphins to the police. We have been through a lot during this time. First, Stella was kidnapped but eventually returned to us. However, she and Kai were kidnapped again and shot before the police were able to apprehend and kill the perpetrator. Now that we have graduated from high school and are heading off to college, we are spending tonight hanging out with our girlfriend. We plan to cook some tacos and watch movies together. As I am in the kitchen preparing the meat, Dakoda walks in and offers to help. I playfully grab her waist and pull her closer to me, suggesting that she can assist with the meat. I give her a kiss on the neck, but she reminds me that she can't concentrate with me distracting her. We exchange some banter, and she playfully elbows me in the ribs. I laugh at her response. I instruct Dakoda to go sit with the other guys while I finish cooking th
Korey "Why can't that bitch just leave us alone?" I yell at my friends. Harlan is now suggesting that we go and talk to her and she will stop bothering Dakoda. I can't believe they are allowing this bitch to harass us like this. The place she is staying at isn't doing anything to stop her. In fact, they are even letting her use their phone to call us. "So, are we actually going to go see them?" Gage asks me. "No way, we're not. Dakoda would be furious," I tell him. "True," Kasey says. "So, we just ignore them and hope they go away!" Gage says sarcastically. "Yes, that's what we're going to do. I'm not letting them control my life anymore. Are you?" I ask them. "You're right, this needs to stop," Kasey agrees. "Besides, Dakoda would rather handle this person on her own." "Now that we have that sorted, let's talk about Dakoda's practice schedule," I tell the guys. "What about my practice schedule?" Dakoda asks, walking through the door. "How long have you been standing there?" I as
Dakoda It has been a challenging couple of weeks for me with court, school, and spending time with the guys. I am currently training for an upcoming meet that I am really excited about. These tournaments mean a lot to me, especially considering the injury I had and everything that happened with Harlan. I am relieved that it is all over now. Harlan only received a minor punishment for what she put us through. She claimed that Whitney planned to harm me because she was upset that I was getting attention from the three guys who mattered in town and their territory. I have to call bullshit on this. I am just one girl and I cannot control how the guys feel about me. I also cannot help that I am apparently better at surfing than them. But I refuse to let them take away my accomplishments and my pride. "Yo, Dakoda baby, are you going to surf or just sit in the water all day? Your waves are coming up, girl," Korey shouts at me. He always acts like the dominant asshole, but after what happen
