“Won’t know until we try.”
I twined my fingers with Randy’s as we walked back up to his cabin, and a few minutes later, I was sinking into his perfection again.
Chapter 17 - Randy
“Iknew it!” Kerry screeched over the phone. “I told you you’d be riding his knot before the end of the year!”
“Yeah, yeah,” I chuckled as I flopped onto the couch. “You called it.”
“So when do I get to plan a mating party for you?”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I agreed to let him court me. I’m not wearing his mark.”
“That’ll come soon enough,” Kerry replied. “You might even be pregnant before I pop mine out.”
“I’m not going to be your pregnancy buddy,” I laughed. “But you could probably hit up Yazzy. She’s only a bit farther along than you.”
“Not a bad idea, but that reminds me.”
“Hmm?”
“My OB is gonna call you with the details for the gender reveal. You’re still good for that, right?”
“Your mama is still doing the decor and everything? I’m just in charge of the colored cake and confetti balloons?”
“Yep. Mama is taking care of everything else, but she wanted to be surprised too.”
“Ok. I just need to know a final headcount from you or her so that I can get the right size cake.”
“Got it, I’ll have her call you. And I’ll tell her to give you a plus one.”
I paused. Was I ready for that?
“Randy? Did the call drop?”
“Sorry, I’m still here.”
“You got…” he let out a sigh. “You got silent when I mentioned a plus one.”
I let out a long breath. “I don’t know how public I want to be yet. I haven’t even told my family. You’re the first.”
“Is… Craig? Is he keeping things quiet?”
“Yes, Craig. We discussed it. He wanted to tell some of his friends and the guys at the mill. I was fine with it.”
“Really?”
“You already met one of his friends. I guess it was known in their group that he was interested, and the guys at the mill knew as well. It didn’t feel right to ask him to hide things from them.”
“Ah, I get it. You’re each handling your own side.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll figure out a way to convince Mama to keep an extra seat or two open anyway, in case you change your mind.”
“Ok.”
“Back to Yazzy, does she know her gender reveal date yet?”
