I mean she’s right, he is that good. Hell, he’s better thanjustgood. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to tell her so.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You don’t have to. How about this, give me a wink if he’s ‘blow your mind off the charts’ good.” My grandmother stares at me, waiting.
I don’t know what comes over me, but without thinking about it I close my right eye. Nana whoops loudly seconds later.
“I knew it.” She smacks the table.
“Honestly, mother.” My mom stands. “If you will excuse me, I need away from this conversation.” She starts clearing plates and disappears inside moments later.
“You’re mother always has been wound too tight. I think your father needs to work her over a bit. Ease some of that tension she’s carrying.”
“That’s it for me.” I hold my hands up in surrender while Starr covers her ears and starts making la la la noises to block Nana out. “I love you, Nana, but the last thing I want to think about is Mom and Dad...” I crinkle my nose and shake my head. “Just no.”
“No fun. Any of ya.” Nana laughs.
Since I haven’t seen any of them in a month, we spend the next several minutes catching up. My mom eventually rejoins us and I can tell how relieved she is that Nana is no longer talking about sex.
I’m in the middle of telling Starr about meeting Annabelle–leaving out the meltdown I nearly had afterward–when her gaze goes behind me.
I turn to see Hudson crossing the yard toward us, my breath catching in my throat as I watch the way his powerful thighs flex through his jeans with each step he takes. By the time he reaches me I’m flustered and very ready to go home.
He stops next to my chair and crouches down beside me.
“You about ready?” he asks. “I have to call Jerry by three.”
“Of course.” I offer him my hand, allowing him to pull me to my feet.
“Ladies.” Hudson nods at my mom, grandmother, and sister, throwing them each a dimple filled smile before turning back to me. I see my grandmother fan herself out of the corner of my eye.
That woman...
“I’m gonna go say goodbye to my dad. I’ll meet you at the car?”
“Sounds good.” He presses a kiss to my temple before turning and walking away.
