Robert’s eyebrows rose and Tyler said, “For fuck’s sake, Chase. Are you and Anna really doing that when she’s about to havetwins?”
Chase’s wife, Anna giggled into her headset. “No. Chase has a Charlie horse in hisfoot.”
Chase said, “Ty, I’ll have you know that I have not pestered Mama Bear for sexual favors because of her advanced state ofpregnancy.”
Robert cracked up. “No, it’s usually the other way around, from what Iunderstand.”
Anna laughed. “I can’t help it. I know a lot of women don’t want sex when they get this far along, but I’m just theopposite.”
Ric broke in. “Okay, can we cut the sex talk? Our opponents will be coming on here in afew.”
Robert decided to play instigator. “Aw, Ric. Have a heart. That’s probably as close as some of those guys ever get to sex.” Then he realized that he sort of fit into that category lately. It had been over two months since he’d gotten laid.Sad.
Chase and Tylerlaughed.
Inspiration hit Robert. “Ty, I need advice on a suit. All of mine suck and I don’t know what kind tobuy.”
Anna said, “Right up your alley,GQ.”
“Brown hair, brown eyes,” Tyler mused. “Blackglasses.”
Robert moved his player around on the screen. “Do glasses matter when you’re buying asuit?”
“Everything matters,” Tyler replied. “Eye color, height, you nameit.”
“Eye color?” Robert asked. “Really?”
Chase moved his Ninja-like fighter over to Robert’s big orange, flak jacket wearing Cyclops monster and pointed his sword at him. “Son, you’re about to get schooled on buying a suit. Listenup.”
“Okay, Robert,” Tyler said. “I have black hair and gray eyes. Would a tan or brown suit look good onme?”
Robert shrugged. “I don’t know. I guessso.”
Chase made his player hit Robert just as Tyler said, “I look like shit in brown. My eye color clashes with it. It’s black, gray, and light blue forme.”
Robert whacked Chase back. “So, what kind of suit should Iwear?”
“When do you need it?” Tyler asked as his blond-haired Black Ops guy kickedChase.
“Rotten fucker,” Chasegrowled.
Anna got in on the mock fight and shot Ric’s kickass femalewarrior.
Robert grinned when Chase started making his player dance. “It’s for Friday night when I take Brookeout.”
Suddenly there was silence in theheadsets.
Finally, Chase said, “Say whatnow?”
Robert was glad that they couldn’t see him blush. “I’m having dinner with Brooke on Friday night and I want to lookgood.”
“I already knew,” Ricgloated.
Tyler’s guy smacked Ric’s girl player. “Shutup!”
Ric retaliated with a flurry of kicks. “I’m married to his best friend, remember,jerky?”
“I’m really happy for you, Robert,” Anna said. “I knew,too.”
