“Don’t worry about that. Sarah’s staying at the house tonight.”
Seeing Bree’s stunned expression, “With you?”
“Well she’s not staying with you.” Travis replies grinning.
Hitting him in the chest, “You know damn well what I mean. What about Mom and Dad?”
Standing out in the cold now, “I’m twenty-eight Bree not seventeen. They don’t mind.”
I can see Bree’s still in shock that her brother is being allowed a female guest, “Babe come on, let’s get in the truck before you freeze that sexy butt.”
Groaning, “Can we not talk about my sisters body parts?”
“Gabe, I think you should stay in my room tonight, that way we’ll all be together on Christmas morning.”
I try and not laugh, because this is so not going to happen, “Err, babe, I don’t think your parents will see it quite the same way with you.”
Turning to look at me, “You’re staying with me, in my room, in my bed and there’s no argument about it.”
Squeezing her tight in my arms, “Whatever you want.” Kissing Bree on the head, I grin to myself knowing damn well we’re going to have an argument on our hands when we get back to the house.
“Travis can you drop us at Gabe’s cabin first? He can grab whatever he needs and we’ll follow you back to the house in his truck.”
“Yeah that’s fine.”
Chapter 23
BREE
“Don’t be long you two. I don’t want to miss the show when Mom and Dad find out you’re sharing a room!”
I start laughing as Gabe throws a snow ball at Travis, just missing him by inches. Quickly entering the cabin, I start to back up when I see the look on Gabe’s face. “Oh no you don’t; hurry and pack, so we can get to Mom and Dad’s.”
Turning his back to me, he heads towards his bedroom, “You do realize they aren’t going to let us share a room?”
“Yes, they will.”
Narrowing his eyes as he looks back at me and finds me grinning like an idiot, “You want to let me in on your little secret here?”
I smile even wider, if that’s possible, “Do not tell anyone okay?”
Seeing Gabe make the motion of sealing his mouth closed I continue, “When Mom was around my age; Dad climbed into her bedroom one Christmas eve and spent the night. The next morning he climbed back out and they pretended he’d only just arrived. Neither of them would want my grandparents to know, even now.”
With his eyes opening so wide they nearly touch his eyebrows, “You’re going to blackmail your parents?”
“Damn straight. After all, I’m telling them that you’re sleeping with me tonight, not sneaking you in.” I follow Gabe and watch him from the doorway leading into his bedroom.
Grabbing a bag he puts some clothes in to it and his shaving kit, then grabbing the couple of bags of present’s, heads back to the front door with me following “You’re going to get me in trouble with your folks.”
I take hold of one of Gabe’s bags, “Stop being a wuss and move that sexy butt into the truck.”
“Sexy butt?” I roll my eyes and should have known better saying something like that to Gabe. Walking to his truck we throw his bags into the back. “You got everything?”
“Yep, clothes, shaving stuff and presents…. Oh wait, hang on.” Gabe runs back into the cabin and returns a few minutes later with a couple of bottles of wine he obviously bought for Christmas dinner and the brandy for my Dad.
“Okay, I have everything now.” He says, “Are you sure you’re alright?”
I smile at him, “Yes, I’m fine Gabe. Please don’t worry. Let’s just get going.”
