Milton’s phone buzzed again.
Be in your hotel room at 2:30
She loved giving orders. And he loved taking them. At least from her. But that meant he would have to leave work early. And what about his sister?
“How long are you staying in town, Lynnie?”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
“Then you’ll be here tomorrow. Good.” No matter how much it killed him to leave, he could only imagine what Amie would have in store for him.
“What are you smiling at?” Again, his sister’s question yanked him out of his dirty daydream.
“Nothing.”
“Who’s texting you?”
“Just the foreman.”
“The foreman puts a smile on your face like that?”
“It was a joke.”
“Mommy?” the little voice called from the couch.
Marilyn gave him a look–a look that told him she didn’t believe a word he said.
“Yes, bug.”
Alexandria looked up from her coloring book, her markers littering the small table. “Can I have some cookies?”
“We don’t have any cookies, bug.”
“Yes. Uncle Milton has cookies in his drawer.”
“Snitch.” T
he nosy little girl had found his stash.
Marilyn nodded, letting Milton know he could dish out the treats. He returned to his desk just as his phone buzzed. His eyes shot to his sister. It was the wrong move. They both lunged for the phone at the same time, but Marilyn was too quick. She jumped up from the chair and Milton followed around the desk. She turned her back, trying to block him from grabbing at the phone. His arms wrapped around her from behind, but Marilyn held it too close to her chest.
“Who’s Amie Woods? Foreman my…” Her words trailed off, then she gasped. “Milton Campbell! You’re sexting.”
Milton tried to grab at the phone again but she twisted back and forth, preventing him from getting a good grip on her hands.
“These are so dirty. I want–”
“There’s a bug in the room.” Milton stopped her from reading out loud.
His sister finally stopped squirming. “I can’t believe you are sexting.”
“Technically she is sexting. I haven’t responded.”
“Why not? Are you not into her?”
“No, I’m into her, it’s just a little awkward with you in the room.”
“Right. Gross.”
