I snort at his honesty. “I think it was a necessary intervention.”
“Then I’ll happily do it again if needed,” Bastian says, tipping his imaginary hat.
He hugs Spencer and Beckett and asks, “How are my favorite aunt and uncle?”
Beckett laughs, “You say that as if they’re not your only aunt and uncle. Mom and Dad are great though. She’s been busy planning his birthday shindig and Dad’s just letting her do her thing.”
“I really wish I could make it. Our game is on the West Coast that weekend. I know they’ll miss having me there.”
“Somehow I think they’ll manage, since blabbermouth over here,” Spencer points at his brother, “decided to spill the beans about Emmaline and me.”
We all laugh while Beckett shrugs and says, “This is his payback for not telling me as soon as you started dating.”
Sebastian looks over at me. “Be sure to ask for albums from when he was about eleven years old. Those are the ones that are the most embarrassing.”
“Bastian, seriously?” Spencer groans. “You do realize you’re in those too, looking just as goofy.”
“Yep. But she’s not dating me.”
“I’ll definitely ask her for those pictures. But just because I’m dating him, doesn’t mean I won’t make fun of you too.”
I look at Mia, who already knows where I’m going with this, and she jumps in, “Don’t you think his adoring fans wouldloveto see him in his awkward phase?”
Struggling to hold back a laugh, I chime in, “Oh absolutely. I know June will have everything we need to give the people what they want.”
We both look at Sebastian noting the panicked look on his face and we lose it, which makes Beckett and Spencer laugh.
Bastian looks at his cousins, in abject horror. “Your women are cruel.”
“Yes,” Spencer smirks before kissing the side of my head. “But they’re ours.”
Mia smiles as innocently as she can muster. “Your turn to claim me, Clark.”
Once again, he’s flustered with her attention and mumbles out an excuse about going to the bathroom.
Sebastian looks at Mia with a smile. “Like I said. Cruel.”
“Nah. I just like to see him blush. Besides, we’re only friends,” Mia tells him, lifting a shoulder.
“Yo Maxwell! Time to go.”
Sebastian turns, holding up a finger at whoever’s yell interrupted him, before turning back to us. “Looks like we’re getting ready to head back to the hotel. It was nice to meet you both and I can’t wait to see what comes from these pairings.”
After we say our goodbyes, we wait for Beckett and then head back to Meadow Springs.
Cougar Callout
Once again, we are Cougar Callout, your one and only source for all things Cougars—Charleston’s fledgling football team.
This morning we bring you yet another update on resident hothead, Chance Collins. At their home game last night, not only was he ejected before the fourth quarter—major yikes—but it seems that our theories on his relationship were correct.
Photos show Chance in a heated argument with a group of people—one of which was none other than Emmaline Jones, who looked extremely cozy with someone that wasn’t her fiancé, repping Tennessee colors . . . *GASP*
Our tip line was flooded with reports after this encounter and there was a common theme . . . adultery.
Readers claimed they heard Collins blaming Jones for the end of their relationship because she was cheating on him with the hunky man to her left. And while we don’t support cheating, we also don’t support men who call women out of their name. The words “whore” and “bitch” were thrown around like confetti.
Before any fists could be thrown, Sebastian Maxwell, tight end for the Titans, hauled Collins back by his shirt and threatened him, causing Collins to tuck tail and run off.
