“You’re right.” She sighed. “I’m ready to get going. Malcolm is picking Avyn up since she had to work a little later.”
“I heard she finally gave my boy a chance.”
She giggled. “She did. It’s about time. I told her to stop playing with that man.”
“Between you and me, I think he shed a tear or two.”
“Awww! That’s so sweet!”
“It’s something. Come on, let’s go. Chris already texted me asking if we were on the way when I arrived.”
“Well, let’s not keep them waiting.”
“Bookend!” Avyn yelled.
“That’s it!” Pasha confirmed.
“Wait a minute!” Bella exclaimed. “How the hell were we supposed to guess that?”
We were playing Pictionary. It was Pasha, Avyn, Malcolm, and I versus Martin, Bella, Chris, and Eva. So far, our team was up by five points.
I chuckled. “It was easy, Bella. There’s the bookcase, the books, and the bookends holding them up.”
“Who uses bookends? You don’t just line the shelf from corner to corner? That’s that fancy shit.”
“Don’t be a sore loser.”
She frowned as she stuck her middle finger up at me. I laughed it off as I stood to grab the marker for my turn.
“Good one, baby,” I said, pecking Pasha’s lips.
“I guessed the word,” Avyn reminded me.
“You did good, love.” Malcolm kissed her cheek, and it made her smile.
I shook my head as I plucked a card from the stack. The word was spaghetti. I was a horrible artist, so I prayed that somebody on my team could see through the less-than-stellar drawing I was about to make.
“Bowl!”
“Food!”
“Uh... uh... dammit...”
There was the snapping of fingers as Martin tried to get his words together. My team sat quietly, watching while the others were yelling out answers.
“Pasta!” Eva yelled.
“Pasta?” Chris questioned. “That looks like a pile of hair.”
“Why would he draw a pile of hair, Christopher?”
While they went back and forth, I drew the meatballs and a horribly constructed fork.
“Spaghetti!” Pasha yelled.
“That’s it!”
The other team groaned.
