Wells hands me a large sandwich from our favorite sub shop near the school and a bag of bbq chips. “I told you we would be here at noon to help. I also told you not to worry about setting up until we got here.”

“Should listen more often,” James snarks around a huge bite of his meatball sub.

“Speaking of,” Wells drawls. “Do you have your costume ready for tonight?”

I swear this guy is going to get a hernia worrying about me when he doesn’t have to. “Yes, Mother. My costume is ready.”

The look he gives me is unimpressed at best, which only makes my grin spread wider.

“And it’s on theme?”

I don’t hold back the eye roll this time as the other guys chuckle watching our interaction. As if they don’t go through the same thing with Wells on at least a weekly basis. “I stuck with the theme, promise.” I devour the last few bites of my sandwich and get up to clean up my trash. “You guys can finish setup on your own though. I have other shit to get done before the party.”

You coming through tonight?

Torryn

The Hockey Halloween party?

ya

Wasn’t planning on it

Ouch. I’ve barely seen the woman all week and she’s not even planning on wearing a sexy costume to come to my party. I thought my night was going to be locked and loaded. A perfect balance and end with just the right type of happy endings.

that’s rude

Wasn’t invited

Her response would worry me if it was any other person. But Torryn? I don’t even know if she has feelings capable of being hurt. She just enjoys trying to fuck with me. Still. I kind of like she knows she can tease me. I hope she realizes I can give as good as I get.

Please accept our formal apology for your invitation not making it to you. Please keep an eye out for a carrier pigeon I’m sending your way to cordially invite you to our esteemed event.

Oh no, was that the bird Potato just ate?

my French Fry would never

see you at 9

the theme is classics

That’s not his name

Girl is full of shit. The second she didn’t respond with her typical, “I’m working,” I knew she was going to come. Isla was always planning on making it and she can talk Tor into anything. I wonder if they’re dressing up together. I didn’t think to ask Wells if the two of them were doing a couple’s costume or not.

I can’t wait for Torryn to see my costume tonight and maybe even more importantly see hers. What will she be? A sexy cat maybe? I could see her with cute ass whiskers.

The rest if the day flies by as I picture other things Torryn might dress up as. Each new idea makes it a little more uncomfortable to walk. Staring at my phone wallpaper sure as fuck doesn’t help, not that I am ever able to draw my eyes away from it whenever I unlock my phone.

It’s a good thing we planned for everything ahead of time or the guys would be calling me out for how distracted I’ve been since lunch.

I look over myself in the mirror, adjusting my hat and grinning. It really ties the whole costume together. I can’t wait to see Torryn’s reaction.
