I shook my head, “Nope.”
“Really?”
I smirked, “Yeah. Talk about you. They know about you. Saw my face when shit went down, told me to get my ass home and fix it.”
She smiled and then got back to cooking.
Once we ate, I moved her from the sink where she tried to wash the dishes and did them for her.
She was shaking her head and smiling, “This is what I have to look forward to? I cook and you clean?”
I winked at her, “Only fair.”
She nodded, “So, what do you want to do today?”
I looked at her. “Mom and Dad are having a barbecue today. Want to go with me?”
She nodded, “Totally.”
The moment we walked into the backyard hand in hand, hoots and cheers sounded.
My woman was clutched to my side, giggling.
Shortly thereafter, Talia and Mom pulled her away from me. I grumbled playfully when Talia said, “I had her first.”
I was shaking my head as I walked to my brothers and took a seat.
Then I accepted a beer from my dad.
“So, how does it feel?” Ethan asked.
I took a pull from my beer and lifted a brow, “How does what feel?” I asked.
“To be the first of us officially off the market?” Ethan asked.
I opened my mouth to answer him, but Alec opened his mouth and said, “What the hell do you mean? I’m the only one who's had girlfriends.”
Ethan didn’t say anything to that.
None of us considered Melanie’s mother his woman. Ever.
That was a shittastic form of torture I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
I felt bad for Melanie at times, and unfortunately, with the times that I worked, I had missed a lot.
I was taken from my thoughts when my dad reached over and slapped Alec upside his head, “He said officially off the market, boy.”
Alec lifted a brow and tossed out his hands as if to say,duh,“Yeah. And?”
Garrick shook his head, “Ever plan on marrying any of them?”
Alec’s face paled. “No.”
Garrick pointed at him, “That’s our point.”
Alec tilted his head to the side, and we all watched him. Then his eyes widened, “Right.”
I shook my head and looked at Alec, “Keep being you, bro.”
