“They probably told you at the doctor’s office.”
“I was so out of it. I don’t remember anything they told me other than ‘strep throat.’” I groan, shoving my face against a pillow. “They’re going to kill me.”
“Who’s going to kill you?” she asks.
“The guys.”
“No, they aren’t. Sienna, look at me.”
I lift my face from the pillow.
“I don’t know Tucker or Warren well, but they both seem like great guys. I don’t think they’re going to react with anything less than respect and support for you. Grayson, I do know. I know that he has wanted to be a dad his whole life, but he’s also a fierce advocate of women’s rights. He was raised by a single mom. He will be in your corner no matter what you choose to do becauseyoudohave choices. This isn’t a done deal. You can do whatever works for you.”
The tears start to well up in my eyes again.
Fuck. I love my best friend so much. Why didn’t I talk to her about this whole situationship sooner?
“And if they don’t do that…” She holds up her spoon like a knife. “I’ll chop their balls off. Especially if it’s Grayson.”
And it’s because of my bestie that I find myself laughing yet again on one of the most life-altering days I’ve ever had.
We spend the rest of the day watching movies and eating junk food. When Evelyn gets home from school, we all paint each other’s nails.
Even when her men get home from work, she doesn’t say anything. They can clearly see something’s up, but they don’t pry.
They also don’t question it when I’m the one who sleeps with Hadley in her extremely oversized bed instead of them that night.
As we crawl under the covers, I start to giggle. “I can see the need for a monstrosity of a bed like this.”
“That many bodies pressed that close together is too hot to sleep. Also, none of my men are as big as Warren. I’m sure that’s a tight fit.”
“In more ways than one,” I say, biting my lip.
She leans up on her elbow. Her mouth gapes open. “Warren has a big dick?”
“Maybe.”
“How big?” Her eyes grow wider, if that’s even possible.
I show her an estimation with my hands.
“Holy fuck. You’re so tiny. Your poor pussy.”
We both fall into a fit of laughter.
As I fall asleep, I know somehow this will all work out. I still have no idea what I’m going to do, and I know I need to give myself time to process everything.
Deep down, I know that in the end it will all be okay… somehow.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Sienna
“Areyou going to tell me why you’re really here?” my mom asks, handing me a cup of tea. “Don’t get me wrong, I love that you just surprised us out of the blue. But I know you better than that.”
I take a sip of the tea, keeping it cradled in my hands. I’m not cold, but I need the extra warmth right now.
After Hadley dropped me off at my apartment yesterday morning, I threw a few things in a bag and drove straight to my parents’ house in Denver.
