She blushed. “I did get lucky too.”
“And you deserve it,” I told her as I placed six cookies in the container and put on the lid. “I better get the food upstairs.” I picked up the bowl of popcorn to balance it on the container. “One day soon, you and me are having a gaming day, deal?”
“Deal,” she called before I walked out of the kitchen.
I’d only taken a few steps when Henri called, “Chéri, come here, please.”
I detoured over to them at the table. “Hey, hi, hello.” Smiles were given. “What can I do for you?”
“Where are your parents? I still haven’t met them yet,” Henri asked. “I would like our boys to meet them too.”
I brightened and looked around. “They’re here somewhere. I can go find them and bring them here.” I set the bowl and container down on the table.
“I would win,” Adrick grumped, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Adrick, it’s really not worth worrying about because it would never happen,” West said.
“What’s going on?” I asked because Adrick looked miffed over something.
Lucas rolled his eyes. “Wreck refuses to fight Adrick to see who would win.”
“It would be me,” Adrick said.
I eyed the man up and down and shrugged. “I don’t know.”
Adrick’s dark gaze slowly turned to me.
“Adrick,” West warned, taking hold of his arm.
There was a chuckle and then another Russian voice said, “I like this one.”
Adrick snarled something in Russian, and then added in English, “So shut up, Dimitri.”
I looked up at the man who’d just joined us. “Hi, I’m Rommy.” I held out my hand. He looked at for a moment before taking it, and we shook.
“Dimitri. Adrick’s second.”
“Oh cool.”
“Why do you not think I would win, little girl?” Adrick demanded.
West sighed.
Lucas groaned and dropped his forehead to the table.
Henri laughed. “He’s like a dog with a bone.” When Adrick shot Henri a glare, the French man squeaked and clung to Blaze’s arm.
Blaze, who’d been just enjoying his coffee, shot a look at Adrick that had me wanting to pee myself. He was definitely thinking of bashing Adrick’s head in.
Adrick waved him off. “Relax, I would not harm yours. Even I know I would be breathing through a tube if we ever fought.”
Blaze grunted and went back to drinking his coffee.
“But I would win against Wreck,” Adrick added.
“Kid” was called, and I turned to see Mum and Dad walking our way. Dad had his arm around Mum’s shoulders.
“Hey, come meet Henri, Blaze, Sawyer, and Arlo.” I waved them over, but they were taking too long so I rushed to them, took their hands, and pulled them back to the table. “Henri, Blaze, Sawyer, and Arlo, these are my parents, Low and Dodge.”
