Chapter Twenty-One
Winnie stood with hersisters in the front room watching the guys work. Bear in jeans and a flannel looked amazing. Add in the Franks and Daughters ball cap on backwards and he was droolworthy. Their relationship was finally out in the open but she still couldn’t steal her man away for some alone time because they’d been invaded, in a good way. What was it about a ball cap on backwards that made her want to kiss her man?
“Don’t you wish it was a hundred degrees out? Can you imagine this view only without shirts?” Beth mentioned.
Phoebe tugged on her hand to get Winnie’s attention, her forehead scrunched with the cutest questioning look. “Why no shirts?”
Winnie bit her lip, letting her youngest sister figure out how to answer that question because she was starting out as she intended to go. Her siblings would have to learn to watch what they said around the kids.
“Umm, because then it would be easier for the guys to move the wood. Their bulky jackets are slowing them down but umm, since it’s cold they have to wear them. I think they’d be so much faster without them.”
Winnie kept her giggle in but Beth’s eyes pleading for help from all of them was hysterical. All of them waited to see what Phoebe would say.
“I want my swing set right away. I’m going to go ask Bear to tell them all to take off the coats.”
Although Winnie had no problem throwing Beth under the bus when it was to her advantage, she was stopping this.
“How...”
“Oh my goodness, Phoebe. I need some help rolling out this cookie dough I brought. Could you and David help me?” Regina held out her hands until the two kids followed her. She winked and mouthed you’re welcome to them.
Beth waited until the kids couldn’t hear and then giggled. “Oh crap, besides curbing my cussing, now I have to think about everything I say regarding the sexiness of the guys. Drooling over the guys is one of my favorite pastimes.”
“Mine, too.” Jesse fanned her face as she motioned outside.
“Have you seen the thighs and ass on Scoop? For sitting at a computer all day, Rocky Road has one you could bounce a quarter off of,” Sarah said.
“You all can drool all you want. My man is by far the most droolworthy.” Remington sighed.
“You mean once he pulled his head out of his ass?” Beth whispered.
Winnie shook her head. “Good try. A whispered cuss word still means you pay. You, too, Sarah.”
“What the hell? How is ass a cuss word? I mean are you going to charge me if I say jack ass meaning a mule? I mean I totally understand about fuck, shit, damn, asshole and fucking asshole because you don’t want the kids saying it when they go to school, but I think we need a ruling. I work in an office with computers, computer programs, and people that sometimes need their asses kicked.”
“So, if we do fifty cents a cuss word, by my calculations you owe the swear jar five dollars and fifty cents. If we do a dollar, fork over eleven dollars, sis.” Jesse held out her hand, waggling her fingers at her sister with a grin on her face.
