“I hate to do this, but I need to get these girls home. They have an early flight and I need to get them packed up tonight.”
The mood shifts and we all turn to see the girls start to cry. My heart breaks watching them say goodbye to everyone. Braden takes their hands, but Dawn pulls away and runs over to me.
“Bye McKinley. I hope you are here next time.”
It catches me off guard when her little arms wrap around my neck, but I hug her back.
“Bye Dawn. I had so much fun with you.”
Tiffany comes over and m
imics her sister. “Bye Tiffany. Thanks for letting me play with you.”
Braden picks up Tiffany and wraps his arm around Dawn.
“I’ll see you around McKinley.” That’s it. He leaves with the girls and everyone is just quiet for a while.
“Now we won’t see him for a few days,” Blake whispers in my ear. I tilt my head in question and he continues. “Sending the girls home rips him apart every time and it takes a few days before he is willing to talk to anyone again.”
Looking to the door he walked out of, I can’t help but feel even sadder that I won’t be seeing him for a while.
“Alright, let’s finish up here. I need to do a shoot still tonight.”
Now that gets my attention and I turn to look at Kallie. She laughs when Jax pulls his shirt off.
“Shoot me here, baby. We’ll do pool and hot tube shots.”
I don’t know if he’s kidding or not, but the thought is getting me excited in more ways than one.
“Can you do that?” I ask, looking back and forth between the two of them.
“We can do anything we want. She’s the photographer and I’m the model she’s shooting.” He winks at me and I feel myself blush.
“Hell, I’ll do it with him. I mean come on, who doesn’t want shots of me and Jax wet in the pool together?” Blake asks, pulling his shirt off. Earning more laughs from them all.
I still don’t know if they are serious or what, but damn I hope they are. To watch an actual shoot would be exactly what I need.
“London can be the chick.” He laughs pulling her off the chair.
“Not a chance in hell. I write the books; I don’t model for them.”
That’s right, she’s an author. I’m just surrounded by so much talent it amazes me.
“Enough joking. I can’t shoot here like that. For one I don’t have my equipment and this particular shoot is in the bedroom. Although, if you guys are serious, I will set up a shoot here,” Kallie says, standing up and looking out toward the pool.
“Baby, you know Blake and I will do anything you want. You name the day, and we will work it. Right, brother?” Jax says, kissing Kallie’s temple before looking over to Blake.
“Whatever you need me for I’m there. Although I think we need a chick to at least make it hot.”
I giggle this time, and everyone looks at me. “Sorry,” I say, looking away from them all.
Of course, they laugh through the whole conversation and the one time I do I’m alone.
“Don’t be sorry, damn. You’re allowed to laugh anytime you want. You don’t need to apologize for it.”
If only my brother knew why I was laughing. It wasn’t because I thought the situation was funny, it was because I want to be the chick to make it hot. Which is a ludicrous thought and it made me giggle at myself. I’m such a damn fool.
“Alright, this is definitely something we will get together,” Kallie says after kissing Jax’s bare chest.
