The crew headed to Tequila Jodi's for a celebration. Raven and Vaughn arrived an hour after everyone. They made up for their tardiness by binge drinking a bottle of tequila. Well, Vaughn did. Raven binged on a pitcher of Diet Coke. "I might be binging for two!" she announced then sat down to look over the pictures of her niece and nephew. Harlow showed up with Toni. While her mom joined Jodi at a back table, Harlow made a beeline for Winnie. "Are you okay?" she asked, studying Winnie's face. "Yes. Are you?" Harlow rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean." Winnie glanced at me and I saw such peace in her eyes. When she looked back at Harlow, her smile brightened. "Lark and the babies are okay. Today is a good day." Hugging her sister, Winnie couldn't stop smiling. "Are you drunk?" Harlow asked. "I'm happy." Harlow studied her sister again and checked her hands for new bruises. "Do you plan to sleep at home tonight?" "No, I'm staying with Dylan." "Any bad memories about the baby?" "Only hopeful thoughts about the future." Harlow frowned at me then shrugged. "I can imagine you two making a decent looking kid. Your pretty eyes and hair and his… well shaped head. Yeah, it'll work." Running a hand over my head, I laughed. "My head shape is helluva sexy." Winnie's calm infected Harlow who laughed and ordered a soda. The sisters danced with Bailey and Sawyer to . I knew Winnie wasn't comfortable showing off in front of people. Whenever she got nervous, she glanced at me and relaxed. "Wedding bells," Nick said from beside me. "You didn't waste any time." "She calms the asshole in me and I calm the broken girl in her. What's there to wait for?" Giving me a grin, Nick shrugged. "When you know, you know. book-quotenickharlowlark-and-the-babiesHey, Dylan," I said, holding my orange ball. "You got rid of the Mohawk." Lark and Raven's stepbrother ran his hand over his bald head and sighed. "Yeah, I'd been thinking about going the business man route for a while. Kept going back and forth about cutting it. A few weeks ago, I got drunk at Lark's place. The sisters were nice enough to shave my head while I was passed out." Nearby, Raven laughed so hard she had trouble distracting Vaughn who was still trying to win the game. Dylan glared at her then shrugged. "Gonna let it grow out and play the average Joe shit." "Good luck with that," I said, glancing at the bathroom and hoping Bailey would appear. When she didn't, I walked to an open lane and rolled the ball. It took out a single pin which was one more than I expected. A lane away Raven struggled to win against Vaughn. She bent over one direction. When her ass didn't do it, she bent forward and adjusted her tits. A distracted Vaughn missed his strike with a single pin remaining. Before I could hear him complain and her celebrate, Cooper and Tucker appeared next to me. "I liked the way you handled that fucker," Tucker said, arms crossed tightly. "You always know how to deal with these losers while looking like a Boy Scout. A good skill to have." Ignoring them, I rolled the second ball and managed to take out three pins. A new record for me. "What's with the silent shit?" Tucker asked. Sighing, I looked at them and frowned. "I want to be with Bailey. We just started dating, but here I am jumping through hoops for you two. You do this shit with every guy?" "Most are losers," Cooper said. "Most never do the second date thing. They bang then hang. If they're lucky, she never mentions it to us and we don't kick anyone's ass. You're the first boyfriend type she's had." "Our family needs good people," added Tucker. Cooper shifted his stance and shook his head at his brother. "He doesn't want that life. Nick wants to be a teacher." "Why?" "Who cares?" Cooper said. "It's what he wants. Sounds like a nice safe life for our little sister, don't you think?" Tucker's expression froze and his dopey brain took awhile to put things together. By the time he figured it out, I'd rolled a gutter ball, Bailey returned, and Vaughn declared his wife a cheater. "It's only fair!" Raven cried as Vaughn threw her over his shoulder and spun her around. "You're a better bowler and I want to win. Cheating was the only card I could play." "Making me think some fucker was looking at your ass was low, Raven." "So is naming our first born son Maverick. You're just looking for trouble with a name like that." Vaughn lowered her to her feet then grinned. "My boys will be nothing but trouble. They'll own this town and chase pretty girls like Scarlet and Lily." "Hey, keep your pervy kid away from my daughter!" Tucker hollered, looking pissed. Cooper grabbed his brother and they wrestled onto the ground. By the end of pounding each other, they were both laughing. book-quotenicktuckervaughn-and-ravenWant me hold the bag?" Cooper said from behind me. Never slowing my punches, I muttered, "Not really." Cooper took the bag like I knew he would and held it still. "We should talk." "Then talk." "You're into my sister," he said then continued after I remained quiet, "You were into my girl. You seem to have a thing for my stuff." "I'm telling Bailey you said she's your stuff," I grunted, punching harder. "I suspect she'll kick you in the balls." "She thinks she's your second choice." "I know, but she's wrong." "You wanted Farah." "I liked Farah. She was my second choice. I wanted Bailey." Cooper said nothing while I pounded on the bag. Finally, he shoved it back at me. "Why did you fuck with me that day if you didn't want Farah?" "Because you're an asshole and I don't back down to assholes," I said, taking a break. I grabbed my bottle of water and downed half of it. When I looked back at Cooper, he was frowning in a weird way. "Wait, did you not know you were an asshole? I just assumed someone must have mentioned it before." Cooper rolled his dark eyes. "You're an idiot. I could have killed you that day." "So?" "So you would have died for a chick you didn't want." "No, I would have died standing up to an asshole." "I saw you always looking at Farah." "She seemed overwhelmed by college. I was looking out for her. She's hot, but she's not Bailey." Cooper clearly wasn't convinced. "If you wanted Bailey, why wait so long? I think you're full of shit." "Because you're an asshole. Guys like you have shit handed to them. Guys like me have to work for what we want." "And you want Bailey." "She's mine. I just haven't sealed the deal yet. If you want to fight for her, fine. I should warn you that I'm stronger than I was last year. It'll take more to beat me." Cooper grinned. "You hurt my sister and I won't kick your ass, Nick. I'll feed you to my fucking dogs." "Fair enough. Did you want something else? book-quotenick
