Chapter Five
“How was everything?You’ve got to tell me every little detail,” Maeve said, looking toward her sister, who was glowing.Eden looked so good.She hadn’t tanned as they had taken their honeymoon during winter, which sucked, but that didn’t stop her sister from looking good.
Eden chuckled, and Razor slid in behind her sister.They were a package deal right now.
Razor had also moved in with her sister.So far, no conflict, which she was happy about.It was still a challenge she kept struggling to get used to, seeing her sister on the arm of a biker.Not that she could judge, seeing as she’d been with a biker quite a few times now.
“It was amazing,” Eden said.“I’ve always wanted to go to Italy, and it’s even more wonderful in person than it is in the books I’ve read.Also, the food is just...”She stopped and kissed her fingers.“To die for, honestly.”
Razor laughed.“We ate our way through every single restaurant and café we could.”
Maeve listened as both Eden and Razor recounted their trip.Halfway through, she saw Eden attempt to stifle a yawn, and she knew she was tiring her sister out.
“I think it’s time you head to bed,” Maeve said.
Eden chuckled.“I feel like a little kid right now.I’m so tired.”
“You’re working for two, don’t forget.”Maeve wanted to reach out and touch her stomach, but she held herself back.
“You’re going to need help with this,” Eden said, referring to the empty beer bottles, bottles of wine, and glasses all over the place.
“Not at all.I arranged this party, and I’ll clean it up.Go relax, and we’ll talk more in the morning.”
Eden threw herself at her.“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
She’d missed her sister so much, but she also knew times were changing.Her sister was married and expecting her first baby, while she was ...not.Maeve had her work.
She got to her feet as both Eden and Razor left.Grabbing a large trash bag, she started to gather the mess to dispose it in the necessary recycle can.It took a little time, and she decided by the end of it, the next time Doc offered the use of his club, she was going to take it, no questions asked, seeing as it took her quite a few hours to clean.
With Eden in bed, she wasn’t going to use the vacuum and risk waking her.Most of the mess was gone, all the house needed was a quick buzz over with the machine tomorrow morning.
Closing up the house, she grabbed herself a large mug of hot chocolate and made her way upstairs.She took a shower in less than five minutes and was in the process of putting her skin care products on when her cell phone started to buzz.Doc’s name glowed on the screen, and she couldn’t help but smile.She was tempted to not take the call, but she was not going to sleep anytime soon.
“Hey,” she said.“What’s up?”
“Does there have to be something up?”
“With you to call, usually.”She patted her active serum onto her face, giving it a chance to absorb.She already had done her eye cream, and next she used her thick moisturizer to lock everything into place.Her hair was pinned back, and she made her way back to the bed as he started to talk.
“Nothing’s up.I was checking in with you.Seeing how you’re doing.”
“I wanted to catch up with my sister but I think between the party and jet lag, that is not going to happen, which sucked.”She wanted to sulk.
It had been so long with it always being the two of them.Now there was Razor, so it was three of them.Three of them to make decisions.
