“Tatum.” I mumble, smiling at her and can feel his eyes on me as he learned the information. “But everyone calls me Tate.”
“Cute.” she whispers, but still smirking. “I’m Drew. And how did the two of you meet?”
“Your brother pulled a gun on me.”
She laughs noisily this time, almost leaning completely over onto the table.
“In my defense, I saw her on the security cameras.”
“That’s how you knew I was out there.”
“Oh, yeah.” Drew nods her head. “This entire compound is wired up, unless you know exactly where they all are and then you can sneak around them.”
“Who knows that?”
“Only the kids that grew up here.” She pausing still giggling. “Sorry, I needed a laugh.” She looks over at Zane before she giggles again, but it quickly trickles off and I see her expression slowly becoming consumed with grief again. “I haven’t laughed since…”
“Yeah…” Zane trails.
I look from Zane to Drew and back, trying to figure out how long it’s been, but I can see the look of devastation in both of their eyes.
“How you’re able to get any woman to sleep with you, I’ll never understand.” Drew laughs again. “But the amount of women I’ve met who’ve slept with dad back in the day…” she trails as she makes a disgusted face.
“They told you that?” I can’t help but ask her.
She laughs, shaking her head.
“They don’t have to.” Zane looks over at me, shrugging. “It’s the look that they give him. Most of the time, he didn’t even remember them.”
“Apple… tree?” I look at him as he just flips me off.
“I swear.” Drew snorts out. “There were like 4 solid pews at the funeral of women who were devastated that he died. They haven’t slept with him in what, 22 years…” We both see Zane make a face and grow curious.
“What?” Drew asks, but he just shakes his head.
“Nothing.”
“Tell me. Wait?” She gasps. “Did Dad cheat on Mom. No, there’s no way, mom would have gutted him.”
The comment alone makes me smirk.
“Our mom was terrifying.” Drew tells me.
“No, they never cheated on each other, but I feel like there’s a lot about their sex life that we don’t want to know about.”
“Like what?”
“Like don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answers to. I have been in the wrong place at the wrong time and talked to wrong people.”
“But like what could… oh my god!” Drew exclaims before he makes a gagging noise. “Did they have threesomes?”
The look on Zane’s face makes me laugh.
“I’ve had people tell me they fucked both of my parents.”
“Who says that to someone?” I laugh as I ask him, and he just shakes his head.
“Wait?” Drew asks. “Was Mom bisexual?”
