“Me too,” Lucie adds.
“Count me for the trio,” Jensen says as she blows on her nails.
“Believe me, I’ve thought about it myself. And Will offered the same thing. I find it really sweet that you all had the same reaction.”
Lucie snorts a laugh. “Well, that’s not really that shocking considering he’s totally in love with you.”
Butterflies flutter in my stomach immediately. I want nothing more than to have her expand on that thought, but my phone starts to ring with the man in question's name on my screen.
“Hey,” I answer, putting him on speaker so I can keep my nails under the light. “Everyone can hear you so keep that in mind.”
“Okay, Callie. Thanks for the heads up.” Will laughs. “So, fair warning for you, you’re about to get a text from Adam. A couple of the guys are wanting to go to the bar tonight, same one we went to the first night after we got here. It’ll be pretty chill if you guys want to come. If not that’s fine, but my sisters are invited as long as they keep their fucking mouths shut.”
“Hey, we’ve been team Callie and Will from the start. We’re not going to be the fuck-ups,” Reagan snarks.
“And isn’t he the one who got y’all busted with the teammate?” Jensen backs up Reagan.
“Okay, I’m not sure who that was, or how they know about that,” he says pointedly, “but that was a genuine mistake. Anyway, I’ve got to go to Beck's. A couple of the guys are meeting over there to play PlayStation first, but I’ll see you tonight?”
Glancing at the girls, Reagan and Lucie nod first, but then I look at Jensen and she points back at herself. “Wait, me too?”
Reagan nudges her with her elbow. “Yes, you too, dummy.”
“Yeah, we’ll be there. Talk to you later.”
“Okay, see you soon.”
The call clicks off, and my phone immediately buzzes with a text that I’m sure just came from my brother.
Lucie pulls out her nails and carefully checks them to make sure they are completely dry. “Do we have time to go back by your place, Callie? I’d love to change into that pink dress I bought today. Since, ya know, hot baseball players will be there.”
Clicking on Adam’s message I read it through. “Oh yeah, he said they’d head there around seven, so we have plenty of time. Oh, and Jensen if you don’t want to come you don’t have to. I just?—”
“Eh, it could be fun.” Jensen clicks her nails on the table. “I’m all dry. If you don’t mind, can you send me the name of the bar and I’ll meet you there?”
“Yeah, no problem.” I shoot the text to her real quick then remind her. “Wear something sexy. There will be hot baseball players—just one of them is secretly taken.”
Chapter 36
Will
Going out wasn’t exactly at the top of my list of things to do tonight, but when the guys said it would be lowkey and Callie agreed to come along, I figured it couldn’t be that bad. That was until Callie strolled into the bar wearing a sexy black, long sleeve dress that fit her too damn well, and boots that go all the way to her thighs.
I’ve been able to keep my composure in public for months. I’ve wanted to lose my cool on some of the guys who hit on her before, but I trust her and I’m always close by in case the assholes don’t get the hint.
But this is pure fucking torture. I’m going to lose my mind. I can’t touch her. I can’t make every fucker in here so insanely jealous by having her on my arm. I clench my fist to keep the tension at bay.
“Hey, guys,” Callie greets the table. “I brought Reagan and Lucie, who are Will’s sisters. And this is Jensen, she’s a new friend of mine who works at the wine bar around the corner.”
I’m not sure who everyone is looking at—and if it’s one of my sisters, I don’t want to fucking know—but I swear the whole group does a collective gulp.
When none of us say anything, Callie tilts her head. “Guys?”
“Right.” Adam shakes out of his trance first.Again, I don’t want to know who.“I’m Callie’s brother, Adam. Jensen, this is Will. Then we got Beck and Tripp. We should have enough seats, but I’d recommend going up to the bar first if you want a drink.”
Callie looks back to my sisters and Jensen. “Okay, we’ll be back.”
When they get far enough away Beck clears his throat. “Um, as someone who is not related to any of them, I feel it’s safest for me to say,holy fuck.”
