“Hmm.”
I glance at Kasey and feel that he also has the weight of the world on his shoulders, so I ask, “Is everything okay with you?”
“Yeah, I’m good.” He drops his feet back to the floor and rests his elbows o
n his knees. “I’m on a new team, which is going to be announced next week.”
I blink at him and smile. “Really? That’s good, right?”
“I guess.”
“You don’t sound too enthusiastic about it.” He looks sad actually.
“I’ve wanted to make the move for a while so yes, it’s good…it’s just different that’s all.” Kasey smiles and sitting back wraps his arm around my shoulders. “Shush. Aiden’s coming.”
Chuckling against him, I watch Aiden approach from the corner of my eye and laugh when he rolls his eyes.
AIDEN
Overhearing Kasey talking to my fiancée, I wait out of sight until I feel they pause at a place that I can interrupt them. My younger brother has been bothered for a while now, so I’m glad that he feels he can talk to Sarah.
Their conversation soon finishes though when I turn the corner and see Sarah snuggled against Kasey.
Kasey teasing me isn’t new, I just wish Diego hadn’t stopped.
“Get off my future wife,” I grouch and then grin when I meet Kasey’s teasing smirk.
He moves and perches on the porch railing while I take his place beside Sarah. Once she’s settled against me, I stare at my brother. “So, you’ve switched teams, huh?”
Kasey sighs. “I have. I’m too old to stay where I was. The pace was slowly killing me.”
I frown. “Too old? Kasey you’re only thirty-one, hardly too old.”
He shakes his head. “It’s done. I’ve transferred to the New York Mavericks. The pressure isn’t as high and I’m happy, Aiden.” He jumps down and starts to walk away. “I’m hoping everyone will be there for my first game with them.”
“Damn straight we will be, bro.” I grin at his retreating back, and mumble into the silence. “I look forward to it.”
“I love you, Aiden, and I love that you have an amazing family,” Sarah whispers and snuggles deeper into my arms. “I can’t wait until I’m officially a De La Fuente.”
I smile and kiss the top of her head. “I love you too, and I can’t wait either, honey.”
“So I’ve been thinking,” Sarah offers after moments of silence, “that we should all go to Vegas for our bachelor parties.”
I blink in surprise. “Vegas? And isn’t it bachelorette?”
“Semantics.”
I chuckle. “Vegas, huh?”
“I’ve never been and it sounds exciting.”
I’m not too keen on the place myself, but I agree, “Anything you want…so Vegas, really?”
“Oh yes, but I only want to go if I can get Rae to go, and you have to work on Diego.”
For some reason hearing both their names coming out of Sarah’s mouth in the same sentence as Vegas has me worried.
But I guess we’ll be partying in Vegas…
