“Yeah, that’s right.”
He whistled. “That’s another month and a half. If what you’re saying is true, and Evelyn and Denny are too excited to wait any longer, you’re gonna need to have a real down-to-earth talk with them.”
I blew out a breath and walked back out to my bedroom, sitting on the side of the bed. “I know. Maybe I’ll talk to Brystol first. We just got on friendly terms, the last thing I want to do is piss her off again.”
Declan laughed. “Spoken like a man who doesn’t want to give up those…twists.”
I smirked. “Something like that. Listen, I better get going. I need to jump in the shower, give Denny a call, and see if they’re able to meet me for lunch.”
“Call Brystol first.”
“Trust me, I will.”
“Talk soon, Gavin.”
“Yeah, talk to you later.”
Hitting the end button, I walked into the bathroom and reached into the shower and was about to turn it on when my doorbell rang. I hesitated. What ifthiswas my mother?
I waited a few moments, and it rang again.
“Shit. I’m getting a damn Ring camera today.”
Carefully making my way to the door, I tried looking out the side window, but when the person knocked on the door and called out my name, I let out the breath I hadn’teven known I was holding. I quickly unlocked the door and opened it.
“Why were you peeking out at me?” Brystol asked, making her way into my house.
“I was trying to see if it was my mother. I’m sure she’s heard the news by now that I’m an expectant father.”
Brystol turned and gave me a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry about that.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about. Do you want some coffee? I can make some.”
She sighed. “I gave up coffee.”
“I have some tea.”
Her brows lifted. “You do?”
Motioning for her to follow, I led her to the kitchen, where I opened a drawer and pointed. “Pick your poison.”
Brystol walked over and smiled. “You like your tea, I see.”
I sighed. “Yes, I admit, I’m a tea lover. Want me to make you some or not?”
She let her eyes move over me, and it was then I realized I was only in my briefs.
“Did you just wake up?”
I pushed a hand through my hair. “Yeah. I was about to jump into the shower.”
Her brows lifted. “Really?”
Smiling, I replied, “Did you want to join me?”
When Brystol’s teeth dug into her lower lip, my cock started to get hard. She was about to say something when the doorbell rang again.
I closed my eyes and cursed. “Now I know for afactthat’s my mother. Only she would cockblock me right now.”
