"Mmhmm.I know how you play."I hook my thumb in the loop that holds his sword.
"How's that?"He sinks his hand in my back pocket.
"You play by your rules."
"Nothing wrong with that."
Our gaits sync.
"Not to you!They are your rules."
"Are you complaining?"
"Maybe."
He chuckles, then he turns the helmet on my head, and I can't see a thing.
I turn it back, then hold it in place and glare at him through it."Hey!"
"I play by the Golden Rule."
"Ha!The Golden God Rule."
He laughs."I like that!Clarify."
"The Golden God rule says 'don't do unto me, unless you expect to unleash the beast.You might get more than you bargain for, and you might not like it."
"Ha!"He squeezes my ass."But then again, you might."
"Mmhmm.That's affirmative!"I cut my eyes up at him."I might!"
We arrive at the BBQ right on time, but we cut it close.We had to hurry because we ended up soaping each other up in the shower and getting completely carried away with the suds.When we were finished, I sat at the dressing table combing my hair and putting it up in a simple ponytail when he came in with a white towel wrapped around his waist and hit the spinning rack.
"Let's see if the dress I ordered for you to wear tonight has arrived."
I almost panicked because I thought the Goddess Gown might come by.I jumped up and ran to the bedroom.He called after me."Where the hell are you going?"
I laughed and told him I totally had to text Cat before we left."I know she stalks my ass, and she can't discover that awesome shit on her own.She would never forgive me!I trust your taste, Sugar Bare."I took my phone, and there was an unread message from her.Fuck!She's already seen it!
I swear, Baby Girl.James is acting like he is on crack!He keeps giggling and saying.A Cirque du Soleil show!Wow!We are producing a Cirque du Soleil show!The whole place is rocking with the news!You are going to kill it!Can't wait to see you!
I stared at the message for what felt like an eternity.When Aurei came back in, wearing a plaid shirt, tucked in tight blue jeans and cowboy boots, he was carrying a simple bright pink formfitting t-shirt mini dress, matching bra, panties, and high heel wedge angle boots.He stopped in his tracks when he saw my face."What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
What Cirque du Soleil show are you talking about?Did Bart negotiate to bring one into the club?OMFG!He did, didn't he?That's awesome!Can't wait to hear all about it!We should be leaving Italy tomorrow!
I told him as I typed, "Cat said Bart is bringing a Cirque du Soleil show to the club, and James is on crack because of it!"I giggled."I'm texting her about the Celebration event page and asking for a video of James!"My eyes were dancing when I looked at Aurei's frown."Why are you frowning?"
"Is that all she said?"
"Yes."I danced over to him."This is fantastic news!This means I will be able to perform in a Cirque du Soleil show too."I threw my arms around him and leaned my head back."Karma, you bitch!I love you!"
He smiled at me and said very calmly."Set your phone down.You're leaving it here."
"Yes, sir, Mr.Bossy Britches!"I danced over to the table and set it down, then spun around."That's not very much dress to wear to a family function.I couldn't hide it in there if I wanted to."
He grinned."It's perfect.It glows in the dark."
