Page 18 of Alice & Meg

Alice pointed at me. “Another thing you are going to have to tell me about in the car.”

Something told me there were going to be a lot of stories we were going to be telling each other. “Only if you tell me more about your cows and how you came up with their names.”

Alice pressed a kiss to Wrecker’s lips. “Try not to fall asleep, beardilocks.”

“You got money?” he asked.

Alice winked up at him. “I’ve got the credit card, baby.”

“Hell,” Wrecker grumbled.

“Have fun,” Lo whispered to me.

“I’ll be back by two,” I promised.

“Yeah, yeah,” he chuckled. “I’m with Wrecker. Make sure you don’t get arrested.”

“Yeah,” Jonas laughed. “I’m the only one who does jail time in this family.”

I wagged my finger at Jonas. “For the last time, joking about being in prison is never going to be funny.”

Jonas shrugged and pressed a kiss to Lennox’s cheek. “If it wouldn’t have happened, I never would have met Lennox.”

Lennox patted his cheek. “Love you.”

It was Nikki’s turn to say bye to Pipe; they were on a different level.

“Don’t buy any more shit we have to haul home in the cooler,” Pipe grumbled.

“I’m gonna put you in that cooler and haul you back home,” Nikki threatened.

“Are they always like this?” I whispered to Alice.

Alice laughed. “Normally, no, but Pipe seems to have something up his butt.”

“A freaking cooler,” Nikki called. “He’s got a cooler up his butt, but you don’t see him complaining about having breakfast in the room and the freshly baked banana bread we’re going to make.” Nikki folded her arms over her chest. “Now tell me you love me, and give me the credit card.”

Pipe begrudgingly pulled out his wallet and slapped a credit card in her hand. “I love ya, crazy ass.”

“And I love you, grumpy.” She reached up on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his lips. “Try to pull that cooler out of your ass while I’m gone.”

“Nikki,” Alice laughed. “You were doing so good until that last part.”

Nikki put her arm through Alice’s. “Yeah, well, what can I say? I’m not perfect.”

“Okay,” Alice drawled. “You boys go do car stuff, and we’re going to do a little shopping.” Nikki and Alice headed to the front door, and Lennox and I fell in step behind them.

I glanced at Lo over my shoulder and blew him a kiss before we stepped into the revolving door.

“You think this is going to be crazy?” Lennox asked.

I glanced at Nikki and Alice and couldn’t help but wonder if that was what Cyn and I looked like when we set out on an adventure. “I mean, aren’t we always up for an adventure?” I asked Lennox.

“Well, whether we’re up for one or not, I think we’re walking right behind one.”
