“Come on now, don’t keep the ladies waiting.” Ben, Chloe's dad chuckles while he, Gavin and Reed all cross their arms over their chests waiting for the show.
Again my stomach flips.
Then as if it's all planned out each of the guys simultaneously expose their tattoos and silence settles over the bunk house.
You could hear a pin drop...
They are all so weird, odd, crazy, off the wall objects that truly I can’t find the meaning behind. Except the banana on Mike, everyone does call him gorilla. But Garrett, why pizza? I don’t get it.
I don’t know what comes over me, I start laughing and no matter how hard I try to stop, I can’t. I grab hold of my ribs, bend at the waist and the tears run over my cheeks. Everyone must think I’m insane, I feel insane.
“You’ve all broken Kyra,” Grace says in a huff, throwing her hands in the air. “Poor girl doesn’t know which way to go. And Terrance,” I glance up just in time to see her point at her husband. “Santa Claus, really? Why would you choose that?”
“I didn’t,” he spins around looking at all the guys. “One of these assholes did, the problem is we were all too drunk to remember who chose what for who, so none of us know who to be mad at for the ridiculous permanent stamp on our hips and feet.”
“Ass,” Mike interjects, “mine is on my ass.”
“And why is yours on your ass?” It’s Maddison’s turn to throw her hands up in the air.
“I. Don’t. Know!” He states looking as confused as his wife.
“We don’t do things halfway, do we boys?” Colton holds out his fists but no one reciprocates.
“Shut up, Colt,” Mike reaches out and shoves him backwards and he falls off the arm of the chair. “This is all your fault.”
“How is it my fault?” Colt laughs from his new position on the floor.
“We gotta have a bachelor party,” Rhett does his best impression of Colton, “come on guys, we’ll have a few drinks.”
“A few drinks my ass,” Terrance grumbles.
“I’m pretty sure each of you have the ability to just say no,” Grace adds.
“Nope,” Colton tells her, “it's a rule.”
“What is?” I ask.
“For every shot we did Garrett had to do two.” I’m confused. “We had to get him hammered.”
“That is the dumbest rule I’ve ever heard.” Maddison says, rolling her eyes. “I think you got that wrong little brother. It should have been for every one shot Garret did, you all did two.”
Colton stares at her confused, and then you can see the moment the light goes on.
If only I could have been a fly on the wall last night. Something tells me there is a whole lot more that’s going untold.

Garrett
“Over there,”I point toward the front of the building. “She wants lots of lights, so string them everywhere you can.”
“You’re still trying to make up for the ‘boys' night, aren’t you?” I glance over my shoulder to find Lily Mae smirking at me.
“She’s not mad,” I tell her, then immediately I question my words. “Did Kyra tell you she wasn’t mad?”
She holds my stare, and the longer she doesn’t say anything in return the worse my nerves get.
“She never acted mad,” I add I think more for myself than Kyra’s Gran. “She never said anything more about it after the initial shock and unfold.”
