I kick the door closed with my foot then click the locks and make my way straight to the backyard since I can hear voices pouring into the front. I come up around the side of the house and see the gate is closed. I could walk back around to the front door, but that just seems like unnecessary work. I decide to break out our old call sign.
“Hootie Whoooo,” I shout at the top of my lungs and wait for someone to hear me.
In response I get a, “Hootie Whoooo,” and recognize Vaughan’s voice.
I say it again until he peeks around the corner to see my head just above the fence line.
“What’s up, man?” he asks as he comes closer.
“My hands are full and I was too lazy to go back around,” I tell him and lift the dish in my hands.
“Oh shit. Is that what I think it is?”
“Yup,” I tell him and walk through the open gate.
“You’re about to make two cranky pregnant women very happy.”
“I heard that Vaughan Asa McCallan!” Cami shouts from across the yard.
“And her hearing has turned supersonic,” he mutters. “Sunshine, I was just telling Bish how beautiful you are.” She glares at him and throws him the finger before spinning on her heel and stomping inside.
“Ouch. I’d say you better go deal with that and I’ll stick this in the fridge.” I hold up the dish and watch as he scurries off after his wife.
Nix calls out my name, and heads turn in my direction. Viv, CeCe, Luca, Hayes, Cat and finally, Anais. I smile at them all as I walk closer, but my eyes stay focused on my butterfly. She’s stunning and it’s near impossible to blink away from her beauty.
Her thick hair is full and she has one side pinned back behind her ear where I can see small butterfly earrings shining. She wears a pair of bright yellow pants that are loose and move with the light breeze. Her top is a matching yellow and cropped, tying right between her breasts and giving the most amazing view of her cleavage.
My dick starts to grow hard just thinking about sliding between those beautiful breasts. But those thoughts come to a screeching halt when I feel a large hand slap my shoulder.
“Hey man. I feel like I haven’t seen you in weeks,” Nix walks up beside me and pulls me into a back slap.
“Dude. I saw you a week ago.” He shrugs and throws his arm over my shoulders.
“Let’s go put this food inside and then you can drop your bag with the rest of them,” he tells me.
“Wait,” I snap, putting a stop to his redirection. “I need to say hello to my best gals.” I pass off the food to him and walk over to where all of the girls stand.
“There’s my favorite guy,” Viv calls out.
“Peaches? You wound me,” Nix feigns hurt.
“Oh shut up. He brought my favorite dessert. When’s the last time you made me cobbler?”
Nix smirks and opens his mouth, but is stopped when CeCe says, “Hell to the No. I do not want to hear about y’all’s dirty food sex. I am in no mood to listen to that shit today.”
I bend over and kiss Viv on the cheek then hug her and lift her off the ground. “Geez. Someone is a Cranky Carrie today.”
I set her down and look over at CeCe who shoots daggers at Viv. “Just wait until your uterus is being stretched big enough to fit a kayak, you have to pee every five minutes, you crave crap that you’ve never even thought should go together, and your vagina feels like a tree is trying to plant roots in it. Then you can tell me who’s cranky.”
I stutter step and practically trip into CeCe when I hear her. I’m nervous about upsetting her by accidentally hugging her the wrong way or even breathing, so I approach her cautiously.
“Hi mama.” My worries are unfounded as she opens her arms wide and folds me in. “How’re you feeling?”
“Tired. Hungry. Cranky and huge,” she replies with a kiss to the cheek.
“You are gorgeous, and I can’t wait to meet my nephew that you’re cooking.” She smiles wide and blushes.
I give Cat an equally big hug and shake Luca and Hayes’ hand before finally stepping up to Anais.
