Right as he finished speaking, the white BMW pulled up. Mr. Delany turned to me and winked. “She probably tried to stop at a store and realized I wasn’t there to pay.”
Nash and I both smiled and bid him goodbye. Once they had pulled away, I let out a whistle.
“I think we should go back to building skyscrapers. Fuck this residential shit.”
Laughing, Nash hit my back.
“Hey, don’t forget I need you to drive me and Kaelynn to the airport. Morgan said she was booked with patients all day.”
“Yeah, no worries. What time do you need me to pick you up?”
“Two.”
We shook hands and headed to our vehicles. “I’ll see you at two.”
Kaelynn was practically floating on cloud nine when I picked up her and Nash.
“One suitcase is all y’all have?” I asked, putting into the back of my new truck. As much as I loved my Audi, it wasn’t it wasn’t exactly a family car. The truck was also better for business, since I was driving more and more to building sites.
“Yep. We travel light,” Nash said, winking at Kaelynn.
“So what made you decide to do a shower in Utah? I thought you were going to do it in September here in town?”
“Oh, well, um . . . we’re doing that one too. Morgan and my sister Millie are planning this one. I really miss my mom. I think I’m feeling a bit homesick.”
Smiling, I watched as Nash held Kaelynn’s hand while she climbed into the backseat of the truck.
“Hey, you mind if I drive?” Nash asked, slapping me on the arm and jogging around the front of my truck.
“My truck? My new truck? You want to drive my new truck?”
“Yeah! It’s not that new anymore, anyway. You’ve had it a few weeks.” He jumped into the driver’s seat and buckled up.
“That’s still new, Nash.”
He looked over at me and grinned.
“Okay, looks like he’s driving,” I mumbled to myself as I climbed into the passenger seat.
The second Nash pulled away from his driveway, he launched into work talk. Then he turned and went in the opposite direction of the airport.
“Dude, the airport is the other way.”
“I have to make a pit stop first.”
Staring at him, I laughed. “A pit stop? Where?”
The next thing I knew, Kaelynn was attempting to put a blindfold over my eyes.
“It’s a surprise, so you have to cooperate! Please don’t take this off, or we’ll be forced to tie your hands together.”
“What in the fuck?” I said as Nash and Kaelynn both laughed.
“You want to tell me what is going on, dude? I mean if you and your wife are into kinky shit, I am telling you right now, I’m not the guy for the job.”
Nash’s blow to my stomach caused me to exhale and then cough.
“Asshole. There is no fucking way I would ever let another man touch my wife. And she’s pregnant, for shit’s sake.”
