Tanner lowered his lips to my ear. “Yikes,” he whispered. “Did I forget to tell him that Ankhesenamun was King Tut’s sister wife? Hopefully this isn’t a sign that he’s going to marry his younger sister.”
I laughed. But I was more focused on Matt being dressed as a mummy.Shit balls!Tanner had said I’d have to fuck a mummy if it was my lesser true love. Jacob making Chloe dress like his sister wife was an innocent mistake. But this? This felt like maybe a sign from the universe...
Wait! No.Matt was Tanner’s friend, so he was off limits. Thank God for Rule #4. It would have been way to awkward to fuck Matt. Especially because he had a wife. Who was quite lovely. And an adorable little baby.God, I can’t wait to have my own. Which I will be having in like...8 and a half months? Where is Rob?!I had to know.
“Hello, granddaughter,” said Tanner and tickled Chloe’s belly.
She cooed up at him.
But suddenly Jacob didn’t look nearly as happy. “What are you, Mr. Nigel? You don’t look like the god of baths. I picked it out just for you.”
“I know,” said Nigel with a sigh. “But I’m a culturally sensitive caveman. And I don’t bathe.”
Jacob laughed. “Ew! You’re gonna be stinky.”
“I know.” Nigel frowned. “I hate not bathing. I hate not getting to be me.”
“You should just be you, Mr. Nigel.”
Nigel smiled. “If only the mob wasn’t after all of us whenever we had a bit of fun.”
“What’s a mob?” asked Jacob.
“If you’ll excuse me for a moment,” I said. I didn’t wait for a response. I needed to find Rob ASAP.
Tanner caught up to me and grabbed my hand. “Where are you running off to?”
“Nowhere,” I said way too quickly for him to believe me.
But luckily Mason and Bee were approaching us. It was the perfect distraction. I’d been pretty good at avoiding them ever since they made stupid Mr. Frost my boss. But I couldn’t resist giving them props for their clever costumes.
Mason was dressed as Julius Caesar and Bee was Cleopatra. Their adorable baby girl Nova was dressed like an asp. But instead of biting Bee, she was breastfeeding.
I waved awkwardly at them. “Bosses,” I said. “Nice costumes.”
Bee laughed. “It’s good to see you, Ash. And please, just call us Bee and Mason.”
This was all going to take some getting used to. Being Tanner’s girlfriend. Being friends with his friends. Having a baby growing inside of me every second. I cleared my throat. “If you’ll excuse me.” Where the hell was Rob?!
I saw Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell up ahead. He was dressed like Geb, the earth god. And was covered in wheat. And she was dressed as the goddess of the sky, Nut. Her dress was covered in stars. They looked amazing. And I immediately turned in the opposite direction. There was something about meeting Matthew Caldwell’s parents that made me want to run. If they knew what I’d done to their son’s penis...Yup, no. Never.
Tanner stopped short and almost made me trip. “What the fuck is he wearing?”
“Who?” But I didn’t need to ask. Because just at that second, I saw Rob. Dressed like a genie.Oh shit.
Tanner shook his head. “Why is he wearing that?”
“I...I don’t know.”
“He doesn’t know my secret, does he?”
Fuck!“How could he possibly know your secret?”
“Why is he smiling like that?” asked Tanner.
Seriously, for fuck’s sake, Young Robert! You promised to keep it a secret!
Rob kept smiling as he walked over to us.
