“Okay, Mommy. Here’s Daddy.” She handed me the phone. “Mommy wants to talk to you.”
I covered the phone with my hand. “What happened to Joe?”
“He told me that he wanted to be a princess.” She was brushing the little hair he still had.
I shook my head, thinking about my daughter turning my beloved GI Joe gay. Poor Joe!
Hello.
Hey, babe. I just wanted you to know that I won’t be home until late. Ty’s making a big dinner for the family and they also wanted me stay.
How about you just stay another night and drive home in the mornin’ I don’t want you out on the roads so late.
Are you sure? I miss you and the kids.
Give Addy a kiss for me and I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you, darlin’.
I love you too. Tell the kids I love them. See you in the morning sometime.
She sounded relaxed and I didn’t even care if I had to get the kids ready for school the next morning. Maybe her time away had helped.
Noah was looking at me when I hung up the phone. “Mom says she loves you and she’ll see us all tomorrow.”
Noah smiled and I saw love in his eyes again.
Chapter 11
Savanna
I was reluctant, at first, about going to visit everyone in North Carolina. With all of the drama happening with Noah, I hated leaving. Still, I needed a break from it all. Colt, being Colt, offered to take Christian to her friend’s birthday party and Noah to his game. Addy was so excited about seeing her cousins that she totally forgot about her sister not being with us.
I think once I hit the North Carolina state line, I felt like I could breathe. When I pulled into the farm, I actually felt excited.
After sending a text to Colt, letting him know we had arrived safe , I could hardly keep Addy from busting out of her booster seat. “I want to see Cammie and Callie, Mommy. Hurry!”
“Just a second, honey. We aren’t at their house yet.”
She looked around and pointed. “There they are!”
Sure enough, the girls came running out of the barn toward my vehicle.
With Addy being drawn away from me, I headed toward the house to see my family. Loud music was coming from inside as I entered, I found out why.
Ty and Conner where standing in the living room. They had spiked their hair and put on black makeup all around their eyes. They both wore black ripped up outfits and in their hands were cardboard guitars. The music was something that I’d never heard, but I noticed the CD sitting on the table and saw that it was Zeke’s band. As the two of them continued to jam out and play the air guitar, I walked over and turned off the stereo.
Laughing filled the room. “Pretty rad, huh?” Ty stood there like he was famous.
Conner just kept smiling. I knew which one of them thought this little bit would be funny.
Ty came up and tried to hug me, but I pushed him away. “You are an ass!”
“Miranda gave me permission to sign your tit.” He pulled out a black sharpie from the front of his pants. I cringed as I watched him open the cap with his teeth. “Left or right?”
I backed away from him more. “Get your nasty ass pen away from me!”
“You really are against famous people. Some people would kill to have me sign their tits.”
“Where are the girls?” I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore him.
Ty lifted up his shirt to display his abdomen. “You want me, don’t you?”
“Stop it!”
He cornered me in the room. “Conner is into pregnant chicks, but I have room for a groupie like you.”
I took my knee and brought it up between his legs. He did this thing where he laughed and moaned at the same time, as he hunched over and tried to catch his breath. “You can’t take a joke, Van! You suck!” Ty grabbed himself between the legs and held his hand there as he walked toward the kitchen.
The house filled with female voices as Miranda and Amy came walking in. Amy looked like she was about to burst at the seams. They each walked up and hugged me at the same time. “It’s good to see you.”
