He nodded, clenching his jaw as he climbed into his truck silently, reversing off the driveway rapidly. I watched as he sped down the street, dust in the air from his tires.
I heard clapping from behind us, and I turned to see Dad walking towards us.
“I’ve never been more proud of you three.” He beamed as I did a double-take.
“Youknew?! What the fuck? Did everyone know but me?”
I turned to see my best friend kissing my sister deeply. Not a care in the world.
My stomach turned a little, but something told me this was the right thing for both of them.
“That’s fuckingweird,” I grumbled as Dad smirked at me.
“Youshould be happy. Gabe’s the only guy that’s been good enough for her. Considering all the pricks she’s been fucking around with, none of them have been serious.”
I gaped at him as he nodded. “Jett. JT. All bitches.”
“But…how did—” Summer stammered, her cheeks flushing.
Dad tapped his nose as he strolled back to the house. “I know everything, baby girl.”
I need a stiff drink.
CHAPTER 19
CAL
“Hey, baby. How was your night?”
I lifted my head from the sofa, turning to see the most beautiful woman in the world, staring at me from the doorway.
My wife.
“Boy, did you miss out tonight,” I smirked as her eyes widened, hurrying over to me as I pulled her onto my lap.
“Dare I ask?” Gretchen leaned down, her lips meeting mine as I lost myself temporarily in her kiss, wondering how the fuck this woman still had this effect on me. She pulled away impatiently, looking at me with worry in her eyes.
“Hmm. Well, Christian turned up to pick Summer up…” I drawled.
She groaned quietly, and I held my finger up. “Wait. But Gabe was here to watch the match with Cale and me.”
Her mouth dropped open as she gasped, sadness filling her eyes. I couldn’t bear to see that, especially regarding our children. But the drama wasreal.
“Oh, my God. Poor Gabe. What happened?”
I tilted my head back as I looked at her, aware of her mounting impatience.
“When Summer and Christian left to go on their little date, Gabe got brave. Fucking stormed out after them!” I said proudly as her eyes nearly fell out of her head. “So, he went and got his girl.Ourgirl.”
She squealed as I grinned. She was fucking delightful.
Her face fell. “Caleb?’ she questioned, tipping her head to the side as she stared at me inquisitively.
“He’s alright, you know. Went out there and watched it all unfold, calm as fuck,” I shrugged.
“He gets that from me,” she chimed in as I rolled my eyes.
“Hmm. But then, when Christian called Gabe some shit, he stood up forhim. He getsthatfromme.” I winked as she quickly kissed me on the mouth.
