“Yeah. They played games and karaoke. It was so fun. You should have seen Daddy and Daddy Crow sing together.” I had to laugh at the memory; they were funny.
“It was funny,” Skyler added.
I pointed at him. “You were good. We should all go to karaoke together sometime. Oh! We should get Afterglow to do a special night for it.”
Joey nodded and dunked his last eggie into the purple. “That would be fun. I’ll talk to Braxton.” He was the owner of the club that we were all members of. It was the best place in the world as far as I was concerned, catering to all our kinks.
Skyler used the metal loop and a spoon to get his egg out of the yellow. “It looks like sunshine.”
After he put it on the drying spot, he washed his hands, drying them as he came back to the island. “This year is going to be everything. They couldn’t decide on one thing, so we’re combining a bunch of stuff.”
“Like what?” Joey asked.
“We’re doing a road trip with camping stops on the way to Key West for their Pride parade and then a short cruise.”
“A cruise?” Joey’s eyes were big as saucers.
“Yep.” I popped myp. “Jax has a cruise company. ‘member him? The pup?” We saw him and his friends at Afterglow a lot. They came into the little room with their pup hoods on and played with us sometimes.
“Yeah. He owns a cruise ship? How did I not know that? I could totally help him with marketing.”
“Royce does that. You should talk with him.” I nodded, feeling very proud of myself for knowing so many people now, but it was really because of Daddy introducing me to them all at the club. He was super tight with the bossman, Drew, and Drew seemed to be the center of it all, with some kind of connection to everyone else. “We should all go on the trip. It would be so fun. We’re going to paddleboard and do nature walks, and of course, the parade and cruise. Jax makes them so fun.”
I was excited about that idea, but Joey frowned. “I don’t know if I can go. Neither of us works for Drew.”
Skyler scoffed. “So? You can come as a guest.”
“Yes! You can come with us. I’ll ask Daddy.” I held my hand up to high-five him, but in my excitement, I knocked over the blue dye cup. “Uh-oh.”
“Shit.” Skyler jumped for paper towels.
We were done anyway, so we cleaned everything up, pouring the rest of the plastic cups out in the sink before anything else got spilled, then throwing them away.
The daddies came in after that. “What happened?” My daddy glared at me, and I bit my bottom lip.
“Sorry, I spilled.”
“Don’t worry, I cleaned up quick.” Skyler popped me on the head with the now-empty paper towel cardboard center-thing, making me laugh.
The daddies smiled and laughed, too.
I liked all of them, and we were having so much fun. The Pride Road Trip was going to be epic. As if Joey knew what I was thinking, he sidled up next to me, bumped into my shoulder, and whispered. “Ask your daddy first, ‘bout the trip.”
The daddies went out back to the pool along with Skyler. I nodded. “You’re right and I will, but I’m sure he’ll say yes. Thenthey can talk business in the front seat along the way, and we can play road games in the back.”
“Road games?”
“Yeah, you know License Plate Tag, Alphabet Signs, or oh! Animal First And Last Letter.”
“I don't know any of those…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll teach you, they’re easy. And if we get bored, we can put on music and dance.”
“Dance in the car?”
“Sure like this.” I showed him by wiggling around and moving my upper body. “Like we did while coloring eggies.” We both started dancing like that, doing arm movements while humming along to the music still playing.
Skyler walked back in and saw us. “Wow, that’s…uh, a lot, guys.”
