“Are they happy tears?” Maverick asks.
“Very happy tears,” I say, smiling at him.
I hope how I feel in this moment lasts.
Chapter Fifteen
Ana
The days are flying by, and I can’t remember the last time I was so happy.
Tonight Dani, Serena, and Robyn are all coming over for a girls’ night. Maverick had gone out to get all the food and drinks we needed. My drinks will be mocktails, of course, but I’m sure it will be entertaining to watch the rest of the girls get drunk.
We didn’t want to go anywhere since I get tired easily due to my pregnancy.
“Are you guys going to go out tonight?” I ask Ice and Maverick as they set up the coffee table and living room with blankets and pillows for me.
I tried to help them set up, but they told me to sit down because they had it under control.
“We are just heading to the club. We want to be close by in case you women need us,” Ice says.
I roll my eyes. “We will be fine. We promised we weren’t going to leave the house, and I already know you are going to check on us through the cameras,” I say to Maverick.
“I can’t believe you let him put those back up. I don’t mind, but it’s surprising,” Ice says, shaking his head in amusement.
I shrug. “I don’t mind. I know it makes him feel better when he can’t be here, especially when he goes on runs. Then he can be sure for himself that nothing has happened to me.”
“I’m pretty serious about her safety. I don’t take any chances,” Maverick says with a serious look on his face.
“Hey, as long as she doesn’t mind then it doesn’t bother me,” Ice says, putting his hands in the air.
“I don’t mind,” I say, smiling at Ice.
They finish getting everything ready when there is a knock on the door, and Dani’s voice fills the room.
“Sure, just walk in,” Ice teases when he sees her.
She rolls her eyes at him. “You were expecting me, and maybe I was hoping to catch you guys in a compromising position,” she teases back.
“Woman!” Rage growls.
“Settle down, big guy. I don’t really mean it,” she says with a laugh.
“You don’t need to see Ice’s pale ass,” Rage smirks.
“How do you know it’s pale?” Ice shouts, turning his head like he’s trying to look at his ass through his clothes.
“When you were fucking potatoes,” Rage says with a grin.
“Is no one going to let that go?” Ice says as his face turns red.
“Nope,” everyone says at the same time.
Serena and Tank walk in next.
“I brought dessert since you said you had the food covered. I figured I’d make the sweets,” Serena says.
“What did you make?” I ask while my mouth instantly waters.
