coming
to show their support of your mating.”
I stare at him with a
raised eyebrow “Do you know the guys from Coal Springs?”
He shakes his head. “None
of us do but your dad gave them permission to be there. They heard
about it through the grapevine I suppose. Since they asked for
permission from the Alpha and it was granted Wyatt can’t exactly
turn them away at the time of the party.”
I shrug and say “That’s
kind of suspicious but, there’s nothing I can really do about
it.”
Crispin looks at me and
says “There’s one other thing.”
“ What?”
He says, “At the party, if
you find someone you would like to you know, share a bed with one
last time before you commit yourself fully to this relationship.
Your brothers and I will look the other way. We won’t keep you from
having one last hurrah before you strap yourself down with the old
ball and chain.”
I stare at him wide eyed
“What about the guys from Coal Springs? I doubt they’ll look the
other way. It’s part of the truce. I can’t cheat.”
Crispin shrugs.
“Technically, you aren’t cheating. You said you couldn’t cheat
while you were bonded. You’re not bonded yet. So, there’s nothing
stopping you from enjoying one last hurrah before the ceremony.
Don’t worry about the guys from Coal Springs. We’ll keep them
occupied if you do happen to find someone.”
I nod and say, “Okay. Not
saying I will find someone but it’s a deal I guess.”
“ Deal. Now, let’s
fish.”
After hours of not
catching anything we decide to head back to the shore. We tie the
boat to the dock and load our gear back onto our trucks. Crispin
says “Hey, let’s go get something to eat before we head back. I’m
starving.”
I laugh and say, “Alright,
I’m pretty sure there’s a restaurant around here somewhere that’s
within walking distance.”
He points and says, “I
think it’s that way.”
We start walking and I
can’t help but laugh. “This is just sad. We live here and we don’t
even know where the restaurants are.”
He laughs with me. “It is
pretty sad.”
We find the restaurant
about two blocks away from the docks. It isn’t super busy so we get
a table easily. I order a huge steak platter and he gets a burger
with everything and fries. I don’t realize how hungry I actually am
until the food is placed in front of me. I devour that shit. I’m
pretty sure some animalistic noises are made and some people may
have been staring at me but damn I couldn’t help it. I was
starving.
I pay for the food once
we’ve finished and we walk back to our trucks. Crispin calls out
“See you in two days for your bachelor party.” I nod as I climb
into my truck. I thought it was further off than that but I guess
not. I crank the truck and head off towards home.
I walk in the door a few
minutes later to find Mirajane sitting at the table with a few of
her friends. She smiles at me and says, “Hey, you’re back early. I
thought you’d be later. Did you catch anything?”
I shake my head and say,
“No, we didn’t catch anything.”
She nods and says, “Have
you eaten? I made spaghetti, there’s plenty left over.”
I smile and say, “Yeah, we
stopped at that little diner two blocks from the docks and grabbed
a bite. I had steak.”
She laughs and says,
“Okay, well we’re just going over some details for the ceremony if
you want to help.”
I shake my head and say,
“Nope, I’ll leave that to you lovely ladies. I’m going to go shower
and sleep.” I kiss her cheek and say, “I’ll see you in the
morning.”
She smiles and says,
“Okay. Goodnight.”
“ Night.” I walk down the
hallway and into the bedroom. It’s nice to come home to a house
that isn’t empty. I strip out of my clothes and walk into the
bathroom. I tap the waterproof tablet I have built into the wall
that controls my sound system. I’m a little weird. I have to have
music to sing to while in the shower. Well, when I’m not in a rush
that
