Buddha, we don’t always have to get you things when we travel!
Arrow:
Not this debate again!
Buddha:
I get you guys gifts when I travel!
Me:
Buddha the once in a blue moon that you travel does not count. If we got you gifts every time we traveled, we would be broke.
Chief:
Kids I’m trying to work and I can’t figure out how to silence our conversation
Buddha:
See! I’m not the only one who struggles with technology!
Zombie:
I’m with Chief, as riveting as this conversation is, I have a report I need to get done. Just get him a stupid shot glass and call it a day. Oh, and don’t forget a bumper sticker for me.
Arrow:
Wait! If Z is going to get something, I want something too!
Me:
Oh for fucks sake!
Badger:
Oh now you’ve done it, Arrow!
Me:
If this conversation continues, no one is getting anything!

I decided on wearing a baggy T-shirt and some cotton shorts for whatever Kade planned. I knocked on his door and was greeted with a shirtless Kade, a sight that took my breath away.
“Hi.” My voice was more breathless than I’d anticipated.
“Hi princess, come in.” A small smile spread on his lips.
As I walked into the suite, I was blown away by the sight before me.
