Emmett stands with ease and shifts me in his arms.
“Well, this is awkward,” Lizzy says, looking at Callum.
“All good here.”
“Of course it is. You like to watch,” Lizzy teases.
“Lizzy. Will you shut your mouth?”
She laughs, then smacks Tony in the ass. “Yee-haw! Let’s get ‘ta movin’ cowboy!”
“Ooh baby!” Tony skips down the sand with a cackling Lizzy on his back.
I smack Emmett’s ass.
“You want me to run after them?”
“No. I just wanted to touch your ass.”
“Touch it anytime you want, love.”
EVERLEE - CHICKEN
JaxandKnoxwon,but according to Beckett, it was very close. If you ask Will, it wasn’t that close, and Beckett gave up near the end.
We decide to spend the rest of the afternoon at the house, relaxing on the deck and playing in the pool. Beckett has been alternating between the hot tub and the pool when he isn’t fetching snacks and drinks for Knox. Jax hasn’t really asked for anything, and likely won’t. He just didn’t want to lose.
“Becks darling. Could you please get me a refill on my sparkling water? This time I’d like three pieces of pineapple in it.”
“You love you some pineapple. No wonder Ev-” Lizzy starts, but I cut her off.
“For the love of God, Liz, don’t finish that sentence.”
“What? I was going to say, no wonder Ev loves you so much since you like pineapple too!”
I narrow my eyes at her and she cackles.
“Oooh. I say we have a chicken fight. It’s been such a long time since we’ve had one,” Lizzy says, floating on her back around the pool.
“I always beat you.”
“Like once.”
“Are you talking about the number of times you won?”
“Har har. I mean, if you’re scared, just say you are.”
“I’m not scared.”
“Who do you want to be your bottom?”
I chuckle, shaking my head from side to side. “E?”
“Yes, love?”
“You want to be my bottom?”
“Is today Monday?”
