Page 54 of Rowdy & Kat

“Kat is plenty wild. How do you think we made my twin boys?”

“Not everyone who makes a baby is wild.”

“True, but most women don’t bring buckets to the bedroom.”

Farley frowned darkly. “What?”

“Never mind. Just know Kat’s plenty wild.”

“Is Maria wild?”

“No, probably not. She’s the more stable sister. Dude, can you imagine how happy a relationship could be without the drama and gaslighting?”

“What if I’m someone who needs the drama?”

“No, you want to take care of a woman. Maria needs that protective nature because she’s moving to a new place. I also think she’s feeling a little jealous over how Kat has found a great guy and has twin boys. She can’t admit to feeling that way because the twins don’t argue.”

“What if you and Kat break up and she moves back to Little Rock? Maria will follow her.”

Narrowing my gaze, I muttered, “You’re poking at me now.”

Farley smirked. “A little, yeah.”

“Wait, are you not interested in Maria? You were acting really horny in the nursery. I nearly had to ask you to leave to avoid traumatizing my sons,” I said and then added, “And my mom.”

“I wasn’t horny. Maria’s just really nice.”

“Lots of chicks are nice, and you don’t rub your figurative dick on them.”

Farley backed away. “You’re acting weird. I think you’re low-key angry that Goblin likes me so much.”

“Now, I know you’re poking at me,” I said and flashed him a dirty look.

“Well, stop poking at me.”

“Why are you being such a sensitive dum-dum? You were telling Boone how sad you were over never finding a good woman. He said you cried.”

“I’m not wrestling with you,” Farley muttered. “I know you’re poking at me like you do with Rock, but I’m not falling for that shit.”

“Well, if you’re not busy tonight with your tears, maybe you could hang out at my place for a while and talk to Maria. See if you want to ask her out?”

“What if we go on a date and it doesn’t work out? I’d have to see her all the time.”

“What if you go out and you two click? She’s already a part of our circle since I’m planning to marry her sister.”

Farley’s dark eyes glanced around the hallway. “I don’t trust my instincts when it comes to women.”

“I’ll be honest with you, man. You usually zero in on the biggest fucking train wrecks. They’re always girls with crazy, self-made problems. You’d play their hero, but they just kept taking. Maria would be the first chick who might like your soft side without taking advantage of it.”

Farley exhaled deeply. “Does she have a weird family? I don’t want them fucking with my moms.”

“Her family is perfection. It consists of my woman and sons. Her unofficial in-laws are great, too.”

Farley nodded. “Alright, I’ll hang out. I am curious about your sons.”

“Why?”

“Everyone is having babies. I was thinking about giving Cher a baby when she was done traveling the world. Being a dad seems fun.”
