What kind of favor?
A favor to help my girls
Oh yeah?
The guys?—
“Dude.Tell her it’s team bonding,” Bode tells me.
“Why are you so close to me?” It’s only then that I realize that Bode is reading over my shoulder.
“Because you’re going to fuck this up if you tell her we’re taking you out. Team bonding will make her want to help you.”
I roll my eyes and go back to the partially typed out text.
The guys need a team bonding night. As their captain, I have to be there
Team bonding, huh?
I wish I didn’t have to go, but I need to
“Ouch, man.”
“Bode, seriously.” I shove the man away from me and put some distance between the two of us. “I can handle this.”
“Just trying to make sure you don’t bail on us. We need to celebrate our groom.”
I shake my head, trying not to laugh at how ridiculous he is. The man has never met a night he doesn’t want to spend partying.
You’re really selling this sob story of not wanting to go
I can think of better things to do than going out with the guys
Maybe this is why they are dragging you out for some team bonding
Probably
What do you say?
What’s in it for me?
My unending gratitude?
Nah. I want somethingelse
Like?
I’m not sure…
If it means you’ll watch the girls, I’ll give you anything you want
Rain check
Really?
Yes. I’ll figure out what you can do for me
You’re a godsend. The babysitter already picked up the girls
