Blake giggled and Ari grinned as he turned his full attention to his wife. Sometimes I was pretty sure he acted so ridiculous just to make sure she was paying attention to him.
A real “Circle of Trust” move if I’d ever heard of one.
“You look so pretty,” Monroe murmured to Olivia, coming over to give her a hug, side eyeing me the whole time like I was going to stab her with a fork or something.
I allowed the comment because Olivia loved Blake and Monroe..but I was still twitchy. Judging by the way Lincoln scooped Monroe back into his arms the second she’d released Olivia…he was twitchy too.
“Can we go in now that all of you have successfully proven you’re all psychos?” Camden casually asked.
“Listen,Hero, just you wait…one day you’ll wake up and you’ll be crazy. Just. Like. Us,” commented Ari, slinging his arm around Blake and heading towards where an employee was manning the VIP entrance.
Olivia snorted at Camden’s look of alarm.
We flashed our badges to gain access, and I grinned again the second we were through—there were so many fucking people here. I didn’t know how Cole didn’t shit his pants.
Inside the stadium the corridors were alive with the hustle and bustle of crew members preparing for the night's event. The sound of footsteps echoed off the walls, mingling with the distant hum of conversation and the faint strains of music drifting from the first opening act.
We reached the backstage area, and I snorted when I saw Cole surrounded by women. One was draped across his lap, feeding him…were those Cheetos?
I was definitely telling Parker about this.
“Walkie-poo!” Cole called when he saw me, holding up his arms before he unceremoniously dumped the girl in his lap onto the couch and stood up.
He was dressed to impress today, a cowboy hat, leather vest and tight jeans. Oh, and a feather. He had his usual enormous feather in his hat.
Might I add that my brother was not a country singer…so he kept the world guessing with his…unusual fashion choices.
“I feel like the nickname of ‘Disney’ shouldn’t offend you so much,Walkie-Poo,” Lincoln commented.
I didn’t bother flipping him off.
Because it was true.
Cole walked right past me and then…he was scooping up Olivia. “How’s my favorite girl?” he practically cooed.
“Okay, okay. Set her down,” I growled.
And maybe Cole was actually Ari’s long lost brother and not my own…because he fucking winked.
“Wow, Walker, I’ve never noticed that vein in your forehead before,” Camden commented.
The rest of them chuckled and I sighed, still trying to tug Olivia from my playboy brother’s clutches.
Cole finally set her down, pulling me in for a hug. Our family had always been affectionate with each other. My dad had set the tone for that. Sometimes hugging my brothers felt like I was hugging him.
"I’m glad you’re here,” he murmured, and another surge of pride welled up inside me.
"I’m so fucking proud of you," I replied, clapping him on the back.
Both of our eyes were suspiciously shiny when we parted, but because these guys were the best, no one commented.
“Oh. My. Gosh,” squealed Monroe a second later. We all stared at her and watched as she transformed into a fan girl. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh,” she whispered, her hands coming up to cover her mouth as she did this weird little jig thing.
“Monroe?” Lincoln asked, only for Blake to start doing the same thing!
It was like watching a contagious disease spread across our women.
Except instead of a disease, they were one of the world’s biggest music groups.
