She immediately started pulling at them. “What’s wrong with them?”
“Only the fact that they make me want to double palm your ass and give it a squeeze.”
Her face turned red. “Sorry, I’ll change.”
“Don’t you dare. I will gladly look, but not touch.”
The sound of more toys being dumped took her attention away. “I’d better check on him before he makes a bigger mess.”
I followed her to the living room and allowed myself unrestricted gawking of her ass. It was a perfect, tight little ass, with that perky upturn. A delicious juicy booty. Fuck! These days it took very little to get me worked up. Her back being turned helped; it gave me time to adjust myself.
Entering the room, I saw that Shawn had indeed managed to dump out his bin of toys. He looked up and beamed as his mom approached him. He handed her one of the toys.
“Oh, congrats on getting the house,” she said, turning to look at me as she took a seat on the floor.
I didn’t have to wonder how she knew. It wouldn’t have even dawned on Macy that I would’ve wanted to be the one to tell Ginger. I loved my sister, but she tried my patience with all her nosy, mother henning.
I moved to join them on the floor. “Thanks. Now comes the home inspections and getting insurance and all the other fun stuff, but you know how it is.”
No matter how many times I’d come here, I never got used to how formal this place felt. It had changed a little with the addition of the baby stuff, but for the most part it felt stuffy, like it was all for show, and not for really living.
“Yeah,” she said. A smile tugged at her lips. “Buying my little bungalow was a headache, but the sense of accomplishment I had the day I closed couldn’t be beat. You’ll see.” A fleeting sadness shadowed her face.
I remembered her old place. It had fit her personality more than this current house.
“Speaking of closings, mine is currently scheduled next month, on your birthday. You won’t mind giving up a few hours of your day, will you?”
Shawn crawled through his mess to sit in her lap. “You want me there?”
“Without a doubt. Look, you’ve made it clear you feel like things are moving too fast, but I still want to share that experience with you. That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less.”
She smiled and nodded. “I’ll be happy to be there.”
My fingers played with the hair at the base of her neck while she talked to Shawn. When he crawled off, she moved to sit on the couch.
“So, Macy said you went out last night,” she commented as she played with the wheels of the car she held in her hands.
I pushed myself up onto the couch. “Yeah. G showed up and wanted to go out, so I took him to Reign.”
“You have fun?” She looked over her shoulder at me. There was a weird tone to her voice, and I couldn’t tell if she was pissed or not. I could only imagine what Macy’s version of the night’s events were.
“Not really. I could think of better ways to spend my Saturday night. And with better company.” I placed my hand on the small of her back, letting my thumb stroke the small amount of exposed flesh. She jerked away and pulled her shirt down in the process.
“Mal…”
“Don’t apologize to me again.” The words came out in an unintentional clipped tone.
Her leg started bouncing, and she kept her focus on the toy car in her hand until Shawn came over to take it, offering instead a cardboard book. She picked him up and proceeded to read him Brown Bear, Brown Bear for about two pages before he squirmed to get down again.
“Have you thought about what will happen when we don’t work out?” she asked, keeping her eyes focused on Shawn.
“You said that like you know us not working is a sure thing. Like you’ve planned on us not working out.”
Ginger swiveled so that she faced me, pulling her legs up onto the couch and folded them across each other. “No, it’s not that. I’m…look today when I was with Macy she told me how she didn’t really want this, us to happen.”
“Serious? Why can’t she just stay the hell out of shit?”
“S’it.” Shawn mimicked what I’d said. Luckily he got the word wrong. Ginger gave me a warning look.
