“You will,” we both tell her at the same time. Tyler takes his time on everything and marriage is one of them. It took him a year to ask her to move in so she teases it will take him two to ask her to marry him.
Lenny turns around to look at herself in the full-length mirror behind her, and then at her ring on her finger. She seems lost in her thoughts when Raven hugs her to her side with one arm. “He loves you, L. He does and there’s nothing that’s going to change his mind.”
There won’t be. Without a doubt, Red loves her, and once a Walker man has made up his mind, it’s impossible to get him to change it.
Hell, look at Rawley. He made up his mind long ago he’d never forgive me and he’s still yet to change it.
Lenny’s phone beeps on the couch. She picks it up and smiles. “Mia wants us all to come over for dinner tonight since Aunt Gale and Aunt Rachel are in town.”
Raven grumbles to herself.
Lenny laughs and sets her phone down. “What’s the matter, Raven, is all this wedding stuff putting a damper on your sex life?”
“Yes,” she admits. “Between school and your wedding, we don’t have a lot of time.”
We both laugh because I find it funny how open Raven is about sex with Tyler. Believe me, she tells us everything, and there’re some days I can’t even look at Tyler without my cheeks turning red. I’m really glad Lenny’s not that open because I see Red a lot more, plus he’s my boss. I don’t want to know certain things about him.
“What time?” Raven picks her purse up off the couch and then kisses the sleeping babies at our feet, careful not to wake them.
“She said to come over around six.”
Raven peeks at her phone. “Perfect. That gives me four hours. That’s enough time.”
Lenny stares at me. “Four hours?” Then she looks at Raven. “You need four hours to have sex?”
“No, I need like an hour, maybe, but four’s perfect because we can make up for lost time we won’t have this week.”
Lenny shakes her head. “Sometimes I don’t know why I ask.”
