“Well, we definitely want to meet him on Saturday just to make sure,” Olivia said. “I mean, there is a possibility that Wyatt is right and not just jealous.”
“What do you mean, jealous?” I wrinkled my nose. “He’s not jealous.”
“Oh, Sadie, you have a lot to learn about men.” Olivia laughed. “But come on, let’s watch a movie, and then we’ll discuss plans for the weekend later. Sound good?”
“Yes,” I nodded. “And then I have to get home. My parents are kind of wondering where I’ve been the last couple of days.”
“I bet they are,” Lucy said. “They probably miss you, too.”
“Yeah, maybe.” I laughed. “They don’t really seem to have time to focus on anything other than the ranch these days, but it is what it is. I’m happy to have a home and a family. And I’m so thankful that the Hamiltons let me stay here so often.”
“I wonder if Wyatt’s going to be pissed that you don’t stay over again tonight,” Olivia said.
“I don’t think so.” I shake my head. “It’s not like I stay every night. Plus, I’ll see him this weekend at the barbecue and maybe dancing if he comes to Twelve Point Buck Bar.”
“Maybe he’ll come dancing with us,” Olivia suggested.
“I don’t think he will.” I shook my head. “He’s not into dancing at all.”
Chapter Sixty-Seven
Wyatt
“So, Beau, can we chat?” I asked my brother after dinner.
Bea was whispering something into Olivia’s ear that made her blush. “Uhm, can it wait?”
“First thing tomorrow, okay?” I said with a sigh. “It’s important.”
“Fine.” He looked me up and down. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah. Everything’s fine.” I looked at my watch. “I think I’m going to go to the bar. Anyone wanna come?” I looked around the room and the only one that seemed interested was Chet. “You down?”
“Sure. Why not?” He looked over at Arya, who was ignoring him. It seemed like she’d been ignoring him all through dinner. I assumed she was still upset over him lecturing her about the job at the bar—the very same bar we were headed to tonight. Ironic.
“I’m going to text Sadie, but I’ll meet you out front in five?”
“Sure. Let me go take a piss and I’ll meet you out front.”
“Chet, really? There are women in the room,” Mom scolded him. I grinned as he apologized.
“Sorry, Mom. Excuse me while I go and use the john.”
She shook her head. “Ranger, please talk to your son.”
We all laughed. Mom always complained about living in a houseful of men, but now she had Lucy and Olivia, and I knew she was counting days until one or both of them were pregnant and she had grandchildren. I had a feeling she was hoping for a bunch of girls.
I headed out of the room, texting Sadie as I walked toward my room. I had a feeling she was annoyed with me, and I wanted to clear the air before I went out and got buzzed.
Hey girl, what are you up to? I asked.
Her reply came a moment later. I’m reading.
Whatcha reading?
Do you care?
I took a deep breath. Sometimes I didn’t have the patience to deal with women. If I didn’t care, would I be asking?
