“What time?”
“Seven? I’ll come over at six to get ready. I still need to dig myself out from a bunch of work and I’ve got a deadline today, otherwise I’d come earlier.”
I laughed. “Okay. I’m going back to sleep now.”
“Sleep. Right.”
“Actualsleep, Rin.”
Her words were a sing-song. “Love you too.”
The phone dropped onto the bed, call ended. I snuggled into my Alpha pillow and closed my eyes.
“What was that?”
“I’ll tell you when I’m actually awake and not fake awake.”
“You’re faking it?”
“Yup.”
Joel laughed softly and turned me so I was the little spoon, fully curling his large body against mine. I had no idea why I was so tired, but there was no way to fight it, and I sank into sleep again.
“Ball gown bowling sounds fun,” Vaughn said. “Not this time because it’s a girl’s night, but I think suited up bowling would be fun too.”
Them in suits was a sight I’d never get tired of, so yes. Absolutely.
“We did it after one of the dances in school and it became a tradition. But we haven’t done it in years.”
Yesterday, when I roused from my sex-induced nap in the photo studio, Hawk bundled me up into my clothes and took care of everything else. Cleaning up, loading all the rest of theCheriabags, and throwing the sheets we’d used in the wash before bringing me home.
It hadn’t felt like I used a lot of energy while I was in the middle of the shoot, but being looked at and posing so much took it out of me. There were sore places from the poses Janet had me hold.
Absolutely worth it.
I couldn’t wait to see the pictures.
But last night we did nothing. Watched a movie with Ellie and Warren, and I’d fallen asleep in the middle of it, and apparently slept blissfully until Trinity’s call this morning.
“Anyway, the dresses are from thrift stores so we don’t feel bad if they get dirty or caught in the ball return and ripped.”
“I’m glad you don’t want to return our balls,” Rowan said with a wink.
“Who says I don’t?”
Cade laughed and crossed the room to me. “The way you’re blushing.” He caught me and kissed me soundly. “And I know I speak for everyone when I say we’reallexcited to see those pictures.”
“It would have been fun with all of you.”
“Maybe someday Janet will agree to doing one with all of us.”
I smiled, a pulse of sadness moving through me. “Maybe.”
A few minutes later my phone buzzed, Ocean and Trinity came in, and once again we were swept away into the closet. No real hair or makeup this time, just us.
I laughed when she pulled my dress out of the bag. “What onearthis that?”
“Glorious is what it is.”
