Sienna
Two days later
Today isCali and Buster’s baby shower and gender reveal. I can’t wait to find out what they’re having. Minx, Rivet, Emma, and I have been at their house all morning setting up decorations and getting everything ready for the party. Cali and Buster stayed at the clubhouse last night and should be coming home any minute now.
While we’re finishing up all the side dishes, Shade and Raze will be in charge of grilling the meat. They’re currently out back getting some folding tables and chairs set up so there’s enough for everyone. It’s going to be a great day for them. Once we have everything ready, a car pulls into the driveway. Emma runs to the front door.
“They’re here,” she shouts. The front door opens and in they come.
“Hello, gorgeous mama-to-be. How are you feeling,” Emma asks.
“I actually feel really good today. I’m ready to see everyone,” Cali says.
“Babe, the party isn’t for another hour at least. Why don’t you lie down and rest for a bit,” Buster says.
“I’m fine. I just need to change into my dress and I’ll be good to go.” She waves Buster off. “The house looks great. Thank you all for putting this together.”
“We were happy to,” I say.
The five of us girls sit and talk while Buster heads out back to hang out with Shade and Raze.
“So, Sienna, fill us in about you and Shade,” Cali says, grinning.
“There isn’t much to tell.” I shrug.
“I call bullshit,” she replies and I chuckle.
“He’s been staying with you since you got back, right,” Rivet asks. They make it seem like I was out of town instead of kidnapped and I’m okay with that. I know they know what happened, and I love that they aren’t treating me like I’m going to break. They talk to me like normal and it’s comforting.
“Yeah, he has.” Heat rises in my cheeks.
“See, so there is something to tell!” Cali giggles.
“Did y’all hear how they met,” Minx asks with this Cheshire cat grin on her face.
“What? No! Do tell,” Cali insists. I roll my eyes at Minx and tell them about that night at Bluez.
“Girl! That was ballsy! You let him fuck you and you justwalked outwhen he was done,” Rivet asks.
“Yeah.” I giggle. “I did. I wasn’t looking for a relationship and I didn’t want to give him the chance to ask for my number.”
“The universe had other plans for you though,” Cali says.
“That it did. Now I’m his Ol’ Lady,” I reveal to them.
“You were really holding out on us, huh,” Rivet says.
“I guess so,” I admit. “I’m still learning how to have friends other than Wren.”
“We’ll help you out, don’t you worry,” Minx wraps an arm around me.
“I like you for him,” Cali blurts out. “You’re good for him.”
“Thanks, Cali. I appreciate that,” I reply.
“And you fit in great with all of us,” Rivet adds and we all laugh.
After a while, guests start to arrive. While Cali talks to the guests as they come in, the girls and I take the food out to the backyard. Cali comes outside shortly after we do with the group of people she was talking to. At the same time, a group of Savage Menaces comes around the house.
