He couldn’t help laughing as his brother smirked at him. “Yeah. Alright.”
“But seriously, how do you feel about the kid situation?”
“They’re part of the woman that I’m pursuing. Which means they’re a package deal. Any man who wouldn’t understand that doesn’t deserve her.”
“Good to know I raised you right,” Trent then spoke with yet another smirk.
“Shut up, Trenton,” Rohan responded with a laugh.
They played a few more games of pool and even played a game of darts before calling it a night. Going to his car, Rohan waved to his brother as he got into his own. They’d only had two drinks and were fine to drive.
He was about five minutes away from his house when his phone rang in the car. Jalen’s name flashed across the screen, and he pressed the talk button on his steering wheel to answer it.
“Hey, gorgeous,” he greeted.
“Hey, Rohan. Sorry to call so late.”
“It’s fine. How was your day?”
“It was pretty relaxed. I took the girls to the park, we cooked together, and watched movies.”
“That does sound pretty relaxed. Did they have fun?”
“They did. Almost all of them have fallen asleep,” Jalen responded.
“You wore them out,” Rohan stated with a chuckle.
“What did you do today?”
“Nothing much. My brother and I went to a sports bar. Played some pool and darts, and had a couple of beers,” he informed her, pulling into his driveway.
Disconnecting his phone from the car, he got out, heading towards the front door. Once he stepped inside, he locked it behind him. Placing his keys in the bowl.
Rohan continued his conversation with Jalen as he stripped out of his clothes until he was down to his boxers, placing the clothes in the hamper.
“So, I was wondering if you were busy Thursday afternoon?” Jalen questioned.
He thought for a few seconds. He had a team meeting on Thursday morning and a meeting to go over financials with his mother. Other than that, he had nothing on his schedule at the moment.
“No, I should be free after about one. Did you want to get lunch?” he asked.
“If you feel like it. I thought maybe we could have lunch and possibly go mini-golfing. I have class that night, but I’m off during the day.”
“We can do that. Should we try to meet at twelve? I don’t want to cause you to be late in picking up the girls from school.”
“I don’t want you to have to rearrange anything,” Jalen told him.
“Don’t worry about it. Twelve will work fine for me.”
“Twelve it is then.” She paused for a moment. “I’m going to head to bed. They didn’t just wear themselves out. They wore me out as well,” she told him with a small laugh.
Rohan chuckled. “Alright. Goodnight, beautiful.”
“Goodnight.” With that, the two of them hung up.
He stood from where he’d been sitting on the bed and entered the bathroom. Deciding that he would shower and head to bed himself.
