Warmth spread through me. My family was amazing.
“Don’t mess this up, sis. I want an invite to the compound. I heard women fall at their feet.” Everyone stared at Casper. He shrugged. “What? It’s just what I heard.”
“There is no way I would take you there,” I told him.
“What about me?” Carter asked.
“I wouldn’t mind going either,” Calvin added.
I threw up a hand. “I haven’t even gone on a date with him yet.”
Mom shook her head. “Ignore them. I hope things go well, and we look forward to meeting him.”
Yeah, that wouldn’t be for a long time. I didn’t want to scare him off.
Later,when I was sitting on my couch in my one-bedroom apartment, my phone chimed, and my heart skipped a beat. I nearly fell off the couch with how quickly I moved to grab it off the coffee table in front of me.
State: How was your day, little mouse?
Thank God no one was around to see how my face nearly cracked with how big I was smiling.
Me: Good. Just got back from dinner with the family. What about yours?
State: Boring. How’d dinner go?
I bit my bottom lip.
Me: Well, my brothers now want an invite to the compound.
There was a pause, and worry seeped in. Did I say something wrong? Did I spell it wrong? I quickly read over my words. Then jumped when it chimed. I scrolled to his message.
State: You told them about me?
Sitting straighter, I pressed my fingers to my lips. Was I not supposed to?
Me: I did. I hope you don’t mind.
State: Nah, little mouse. Was it just your brothers around?
Me: No, my parents were there.
State: Good.
Was it?
State: Like you sharin’ about me, darlin’. Your brothers can come to the next party.
Me: Don’t say that!!!! You haven’t met them. They can be very embarrassing. For me.
State: I’ll make sure they won’t be. Got to go, baby. Lookin’ forward to seein’ you tomorrow. You know where the place is?
Me: I do. I’ll be there at 12.
State: Night, little mouse.
Me: Night.I added a smiley face and then regretted it.Do bikers like smiley faces?Was it too much?
Groaning, I slumped back on the couch, squishing my chin to my neck. Yeah, this would be a real pretty look for State to see me in with all my double-chin glory.
