“I love you too..I did want to ask though. Is everything okay with Robin?” I didn’t want to pry..but something tells me it might not be good if she is staying at her mom’s house.
“We are just taking a break..I didn’t want to drag her down with me..I just..I don’t know if she can handle it. She has a lot of shit of her own that she is still coping with.” He whispered, making me nod in understanding.
“Well, do you want me to reach out to her? If not I understand.”
Ben studied me for a few moments before finally speaking.
“Yeah..maybe it would be good if you do…thanks Jo..you are the best.” He whispered and hugged me once again.
After a few more moments, we headed back into the other room as Caspian instantly pounced on me.
“Fuck I missed you.” He rushed out before kissing me roughly as I couldn’t help but laugh.
“I was just in the other room..it’s okay baby, I’m not going anywhere else without you, I promise..”
Caspian didn’t tell me exactly what his dad said..but it really must’ve freaked him out..all I know is that nothing can keep me and Caspian apart..and I guess I just have to keep reminding him of that.
We will figure all of this out..and hopefully, there will be no more surprises because I swear if there are..I might just have a damn stroke.
(Caspian)
I followed my wife around the grocery store like a lost puppy, my hands glued to her hips as she pushed the cart and focused on the list before her.
Moose and Alder were with us and everyone was on edge..our eyes darting towards every person we passed..the paranoia hitting us hard.
I couldn’t help but feel like we were being watched..hopefully this will all be over soon. I was surprised my mom decided to reach out to my Grandpa, but if anyone can stop dad, it’s him.
I don’t want to say Walt Alvarez is like a mafia don..but it’s pretty damn close..he is a very powerful man and even my dad seemed to be intimidated by him. But my mom always protected dad from that..so now that they are divorced, and mom isn’t playing around, I’m curious to see what happens.
“Baby, can you grab the bananas?” Johnnie asked as I reluctantly pulled away before racing over to the bananas and grabbing them quickly, tossing them back into the cart.
“Jeez, you’re going to bruise them Cas.” Alder mumbled as I just glared over at him.
“So, Jo..there’s something I wanted to ask…” Moose suddenly spoke up before tucking his phone away in his pocket.
“In a hypothetical situation..if you were a girl..” He began, making Jo laugh.
“She is a girl dipshit.” I grumbled.
“Okay..if you were a somewhat single girl who didn’t have a leech of a husband attached at your..ow!”
I smacked Moose on the back of the head, making him rub it slowly before laughing.
“Fine..if you were ANNA..” He finally stated..getting to the fucking point as Alder watched the interaction, seeming to be completely amused.
“How would you personally feel about dating two guys..”
“I’m not liking this hypothetical situation..” I muttered, ready to beat Moose’s ass.
“Well..I’m definitely a one Caspian type of woman.” Johnnie added, obviously to appease me..which worked incredibly.
“But..Anna isn’t really like other people. She has always believed that love comes in all different forms..and if I understand what you are asking..well..it might not be her that you need to check with exactly..I think the other person involved might be uncomfortable with it. I mean..maybe, what do you think baby?” Johnnie turned the question towards me..which I kind of zoned out after what she said about me and have been staring at her ass this whole time.
“Hm?” I asked, making Johnnie roll her eyes before bumping her butt into me..which I liked, a lot.
“I think the question is, are you just pursuing Anna? Or are you into Milo too?” Alder asked casually while tossing a bag of chips into the cart.
“Well..I mean..I like the idea of seeing them together..” Moose mumbled, seeming to be embarrassed as I saw his cheeks warm..wow, this is the first time I have ever seen Moose blush I swear.
“Dude, that’s okay, whatever floats your boat..but I would approach this as respectfully as you can..ask them both on a date.” Alder said with a big grin while walking backward.
“Yeah, that’s a great idea..” Moose mumbled to himself before pulling out his phone and texting someone.
I’m guessing either Milo or Anna.
“So, the next big question is, why the hell are you single Alder?” Moose asked out of the blue, making Alder glance over at Johnnie and I briefly before looking away.
“Just haven’t met the right girl yet.” He shrugged, his answer definitely generic.
“Plus I knew my dad probably would take control over that at some point..so I didn’t want to get into anything serious.”
I watched as Johnnie frowned before touching my brother’s arm gently..which made me more jealous than I would’ve like to admit.
“Hey, you don’t have to worry about that now. You are free to date whoever you want.” She said softly, making Alder meet her gaze for a moment before smiling and looking away.
“I’m not going to force anything. If it happens..it happens..and if not, that’s okay too..not everyone can be as lucky as you two though.” He added before grabbing Johnnie and messing up her hair, making her whine.
I watched as Alder glanced towards me and lifted his hands in mock surrender as I reached for Johnnie and pulled her against my chest. I then proceeded to fix her hair while she gazed up at me in the most adorable way.
“There, all better.” I whispered, my palms sliding to her cheeks before gripping her tight and placing a kiss on her lips.
“Okay, come on, let’s go before you two start that thing you do..” Alder grumbled, making me look at him curiously.
“What thing?” I asked while tucking my wife beneath my arm and tugging her along.
“That sappy shit where you start kissing and making weird cutesy noises.” He mumbled while leading us to the checkout lane.
“I can’t help the noises Caspian makes! He’s like an adorable little puppy!” Johnnie exclaimed, making my mouth drop open..as she proceeded to lift on her tiptoes and pet my head.
“Aww..he is, isn’t he..look at those eyes.” Moose joined in, prompting me to punch him in the gut as he doubled over and let out a laugh.
“No fair..how come Johnnie gets to pet you and I don’t?” He grumbled as I gripped my wife around the waist and yanked her towards me.
