“Then don’t do anything. You don’t work today, plus you are growing two babies inside of you. If you are tired, maybe you just need to relax. We have a TV in here if you want to watch movies and do nothing all day. Any of us would be more than happy to take care of you,” I murmur and grab the remote from the side table to turn on the TV.

She smiles softly while I climb into bed beside her and hand her the remote so that she can choose something.

When Dylan and Braxton join us a while later, they tell us that everything needed for the restaurant and the bar is covered for the weekend so that we can get to know Holly more. The managers know only to call in case of emergencies.

We spend the rest of the day being lazy, talking, and laughing.

It was completely perfect.

Dylan

The next day, I get out of bed and look back to see Holly cuddling with my men. Fucking perfect.

My phone goes off again, and I hit ignore for the millionth time. The number isn’t known to me but I already have a feeling that I know who it is.

Helen.

She has been calling and texting non-stop.

When I blocked her number, she got a new one. I think it may be time to change our numbers because it looks like she isn’t going to let this go.

She just misses the life she would have had living with us.

How did I miss that she was only after money? She spent our money often enough that you would think we would have noticed.

I think we spent so much time trying to find a woman to fit and balance us out that we just accepted the first woman who would willingly be in a relationship with three men.

What a big fucking mistake that was.

I block the new number and decide to make breakfast for my partners. I love being able to cook and provide for them.

Watching them devour something I made always brings a smile to my face and makes me puff up with pride.

The first few days with Holly are wonderful. I’m not stupid enough to think it will always be this way. Every relationship has its challenges. Heck, my men and I still argue. Just because we love one another doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything.

My phone goes off again, but this time I see Levi’s name and I gladly answer it.

“Hey,” I grin.

“Kyla wants you guys over for dinner tonight. Grayson wants to fire up the grill. Kyla wants to make sure you guys are keeping her friend happy,” he says, and I can hear the smile in his voice.

“No problem. We can make it. Need us to bring anything?” I ask.

He lets out a sigh as I hear Kyla mumble something I can’t quite make out.

“Kyla wants that amazing salad you make at your restaurant, and those potatoes she orders whenever we order from there,” he says.

“Alright,” I say with a laugh.

He has a good woman, but even from her just being my woman’s best friend, I would gladly cook whatever she wanted. We need all the brownie points we can get.

I chat with him for a couple minutes before telling him that I will see them later.

When we hang up, I turn on my music and get everything out to cook some breakfast.

Holly’s face when she was eating breakfast yesterday tells me that is what she loves right now.

I shake my hips to the music as I get lost in the task of cooking.
