“I’ll give you something to su—”
“Daddy!” Cheyenne screamed from the front entry.
Fuck!
“We’re right here, Peanut. You don’t need to yell,” I responded.
“Did you tell Brooke about my birthday party?” She sat in the olive green recliner across from the sectional couch.
“We were just talking about it.”
“Are you sure you want that many girls here? What are you going to do to entertain them all?” Brooke asked.
“Courtney said she heard at Kate’s party that they played a game where there are questions written on a big ball, and they pass it around in a circle. You have to answer the question it lands on when it’s your turn.”
“What kind of questions?” Brooke inquired.
Cheyenne shrugged. “I don’t know. Stuff like your favorite color, favorite candy, who your best friend is, what boy you like—”
I choked on air. “What boy you like?”
“Yeah. Like I like—”
“You like a boy?” I grilled, not believing my ears.
“Well, I did kiss him.” Cheyenne rolled her eyes as ifIwas the ridiculous one.
My body tensed at the thought of Cheyenne and this kid. I wasn’t happy about it then, and I sure as fuck wasn’t happy about it now.
Brooke reached her hand out and placed it on my knee. “I think it sounds fun, Chey. We’ll work out all the details and send the invites to everyone,” she affirmed.
“Yes!” she exclaimed. “I’m gonna go tell Courtney.”
“And I’m going to go to work. You two have fun tonight.” I turned and kissed Brooke’s lips as Cheyenne ran out the front door.
Brooke grinned. “When you get home tonight, I’ll be well rested and ready to…suck.”
