I burst out laughing. “What?”
“Porn. You know, people fucking.” I wanted to laugh that she thought I didn’t know what porn was. “But it didn’t work. In the end, it was time he needed. Just… time. To heal, to come to terms with the meaning of his life after something so traumatic.”
She had a point. One I had considered.
Hayden showed up with Thai food around four and I still hadn’t heard from Rager.
“Can I see them?” was her first question to me.
“What? Why?”
“Because I want to see if yours compare to Sway’s.”
Mom’s eyes lit up. “Oh, true. I wonder if they’re different.”
“Yeah, I bet it’s like new cars. Different models for every year,” Hayden added.
What the fuck? But now even I was curious.
Mom waved her hand around. “You should show us, and we’ll decided if that’s the case.”
Just as I flipped my shirt up to show them, fucking Willie walked through the door wearing a black JAR Racing hoodie and board shorts like he’d been at the lake all day. When he took his hat off, his hair told the story. He’d been on Lane’s boat most of the day and probably drunk. He smiled at me. “Did I miss the reveal?”
Mom laughed. “She’s not going to show you her tits.”
Willie frowned. “You showed me yours.”
“True.” And then mom glanced over at me. “You can show him if you want.”
Willie looked hopeful and held out a carton of cookie dough ice cream. “I brought ice cream.”
“She didn’t have her tonsils out.” Hayden reached for the ice cream. “But ice cream cures everything.”
“Oh.” Mom took off to the kitchen. “I’ll get the spoons.”
“So….” Willie eyed my chest.
“I’m not showing you my tits, Willie.”
His shoulders slumped forward. “It was worth a try.”
But I did show my mom and Hayden in the bathroom.
Lily came downstairs. “I got the kids in bed. What’d I miss?”
“Arie showed us her tits. They look amazing.” Hayden kicked back on the couch and then cupped her chest. “I’m thinking of getting mine done now. But Casten’s more of an ass man, so he probably wouldn’t care.”
Mom dropped the spoons on the coffee table in front of us. “I don’t need to know that about my son.”
Hayden snorted, reaching for a spoon. “No, what you don’t need to know is that he has his dick pierced.” Mom’s eyes widened and Hayden laughed. “But you didn’t hear that from me.”
I don’t think Mom knew what to say. Hell, I didn’t either. “I can’t believe my baby boy has his penis pierced. Did it hurt?”
Hayden shrugged. “I have no idea. I know getting my clit did.”
Mom’s cheeks flushed. “I’d like to change the subject to something else. Anything but this.”
Willie grinned. “I’m so glad I came over.”
