“You’ve seen him more than I have…”
Britt grinned. “You said you didn’t want this kind of knowledge about your brother.”
“Okay, just… censor it.”
“Okay, I’ll just say he sleeps over. More nights than not. And sometimes, I go to his if Dave’s working nights or staying over at Andrea’s.”
“And he still has no idea about me and Jaxon?”
Britt shook her head. “Nah, he hasn’t a clue. He just thought you two were having a fight and then Jaxon took the entire weekend to ‘make it up’ to you. In a non-sexual sense, of course. Because his little sister doesn’t have intercourse.”
“Oh God,” Teagan rolled her eyes. “I guess he and I have similar ways of looking at it, huh?”
Brittany snorted. “He didn’t want to hear what Jaxon, and you were getting up to while you’d locked yourself up all weekend in your place.”
Teagan laughed. “Well, you did.”
“I’m a slut for the details, Teagan. Even though you still haven’t let on about certain… endowments.”
“And I will not,” Teagan replied. Even though she was smirking just a bit. Just enough to let Britt know that whatever Jaxon’s endowments, they were very,verysatisfying.
“Is he meeting you here tonight?” she asked.
“No, actually. My dad’s coming to dinner tonight, so he’s going to start the meal for me… I have to make it for everyone.”
“Oh right, Brad told me about that…”
“You’re not coming, I take it?”
Brittany shook her head. “I haven’t met ‘the parents’ yet. I assume his mom would want to be there. I’ll just meet them both at the same time.”
“Meeting Dad might be a softer landing than meeting our mother. I’m sure he’ll love you. And I’m sure she won’t,” Teagan said with a laugh.
“No, mothers never do like me,” Brittany replied, rolling her eyes. “Doesn’t matter, because the sons certainly seem to.”
“Well, you’ll have me and Shea there. And we love you. Well, I do. Not sure if Shea loves anyone or anything besides Frank’s biceps.”
Brittany cackled. “I honestly think I’m in love with Frank’s biceps a little.”
“Same,” Teagan laughed. Not that Jaxon didn’t have lovely biceps, but…
Frank’s biceps had a category all their own.
The rest of the shift went by in relative peace. They sold a few more potted plants and someone came in for a whole crate of impatiens. She got a text from Jaxon around closing time letting her know that he’d just arrived and was starting the chicken she had marinating in the fridge.
“You sure you don’t want to come, Britt? I’m making chicken. And primavera pasta?”
“As delicious as that sounds, Teags, I’m going to pass.”
“You know it’s not a real relationship until you tell the parents,Britt.”
Brittany laughed. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Listen, we’ve got about five minutes left here, do you want to take out the trash and go on a bit early?”
“Like nothing else,” Teagan replied. She gathered up the various trash bags from the different places in the building, knotting each one and carrying them out to the dumpster out behind the store. She swung the bags up and into the dumpster, wiping her hands on her jeans before turning around and coming to a very sudden halt. Panic bloomed and she stiffened.
“Hello, Teagan,” Eric’s voice made her skin crawl and she felt her back tense up into knots.
