“Do you give up?” he asked us.
Before I could say anything, Nari shot him right in the chest; she was even quick enough to get Mina. Both the lights in their vests lit up, meaning she’d gotten the kill shots.
“HEY! Cheater!” he called out.
“The war isn’t over until we say we give up! Right, Dad?” Nari raised her hand to fist bump me.
“Absolutely.” I fist bumped her before pulling her into a hug. “It’s not our fault you thought you won and came out early.”
“What? Mommy!” Sedric turned to her as if she was supposed to right this injustice. Both Nari and I stared at her, waiting as she sized us up.
“Well played…we won’t forgive you next time.” She finally spoke and Sedric put his hands to his head, falling to his knees as he groaned.
“Noooooo.” He was the most dramatic six-year-old on the face of the planet.
“Come on!” Mina laughed, putting her hand on his helmet. “Let’s all get cleaned up before we eat, we have ribs!”
“Ribs?” Sedric and I both said at the same time, wide grins on our faces.
Sedric took off his helmet and made a run for the showers. “Ribs! Daddy, come on!”
“You would think we don’t feed him.” I shook my head.
“Daddy, you’re making the same face though.” Nari giggled. Bending down, I made a face at her and she just pinched my cheeks.
“Whose side are you on peanut?”
“If it’s between family and others, I’m on family’s side. If it’s between family and family, I’m on the winning side,” she answ
ered proudly. She and Mina were one in the same; it was funny.
“That girl.” Mina came over to us.
Lifting my pinky up to her I said, “And who’s always on the winning side between family and family?”
“You.” She smiled, linking fingers with me.
“Well then…” Mina said dramatically. “I lose one time and—”
I kissed her and she laughed, but before she could say anything else, Sedric came running back out, butt ass naked with no shame whatsoever.
“DADDY, COME ON!” he yelled at me.
“Sedric, your clothes!” Mina yelled at him.
“You said clean up.” He stretched his stomach.
Snorting, she smacked me on the shoulder. “Stop laughing, this is why he thinks it’s okay!”
“Come on, Sedric, before Mommy shoots you.” I laughed, moving toward him.
He jumped back, holding his arms out like he did for karate class. “I’m too fast.”
“Not too fast for me.” Nari held the gun out and he went running.
“Don’t tell me you are scared of your big sister, Sedric,” I teased him as I entered the locker room, where all his clothes were scattered on the floor.
“I’m not scared…you guys are tricky.” He crossed his arms at me.
