He looked down to the floor and spoke, “Yeah, don’t worry about her. You ready to go downstairs?”

His whole demeanor had changed from his conversation with his mom, and I wondered what the hell was going on with them. Now that I thought about it, I haven’t really seen her either. I’d question him about it later, right now I was starving. “Yeah, I need to see this shit.”

He mustered up a little smile, “You and me both.”

As soon as Hunter opened the bedroom door we were engulfed with the smell of bacon. “Damn,” my stomach growled, “at least it smells good.”

He was still so far away, “Let’s hope it tastes as good too.”

Walking into the dining room where Hunter could put me down, we were greeted by everyone sitting around the table. It was full of food; eggs, pancakes, French toast, sausage, ham, bacon, toast, orange, grape, apple juice and chocolate milk.

My mouth fell open, “Close your mouth, Kenz.” Jackson said, sitting next to Chloe who hit him in the arm.

“Damn Mase, what the hell got into you?” I asked as Hunter sat me down in the chair that Cooper had pulled out for me.

He flicked his eyes over to Hailey who was sitting across from him and shrugged his shoulder. I peeped over at Hailey who had a smile on her face as she was digging into her food.

“Don’t worry, it tastes pretty good. I think if he was going to try and off someone, it would be me.” Hailey said to everyone.

That got Hunter to laugh; he took a seat next to me and started putting all my favorite foods on the plate without me even having to ask.

When everyone had their plates loaded, I leaned over to Hunter, “You want to tell them that we set a date? Or should we wait for dinner?”

A smile that finally reached his eyes showed me he wanted to tell everyone now, “Up to you.”

I ruffled his hair, “You tell them.” He kissed my forehead.

Everyone’s eyes were on us, “I’m gonna lose my breakfast if you two don’t knock that shit off.” Cooper said. Then he bent over and kissed Jaylinn on the forehead to make a point to Hunter.

“Shut the f**k up ass**le,” Hunter threw a piece of his bread at him, of course Cooper caught it with ease. “CC and I set a date for the wedding.” All the girls got that dreamy look in their eyes, “January 22nd.”

All the guys nodded and the girls squealed at the same time, “Shopping!”

Looks like I was in for a day of shopping for the wedding. I was actually looking forward to this outing with the girls.

After the girls finally settled down and finished their breakfast, the guys and I cleaned up the kitchen while they got ready to go out.

“You’re really ready to hand your balls over to my sister?” Cooper asked. He was drying the pots and pans that Jackson was washing while I put them away. Mason had disappeared somewhere.

“He already handed them over years ago bro, you just never saw it.” Jackson responded for me.

“Shut up jerk off, you handed yours over to Chloe too.” I snapped back.

He shook his head, “I know man, I know.”

Cooper was amused by this. I saw Jackson reach for the sprayer on the sink, I backed up and he shot Cooper right in the side of the face. “Now that’s amusing.” Jackson said.

Cooper dried his face with the towel in his hand, “Good one Jackson. Just remember payback’s a bitch.”

Mason came around the corner pulling Hailey with him. Hailey’s hair was a little ruffled and her lips were red. “What the f**k’s going on?” Mason asked.

I started laughing, “Hmm, well Coop, Hailey got her chocolate milk…” and Cooper finished my sentence, “and from the looks of it Mason’s dick too.” Hailey turned beet red, Mason was shooting daggers at us with his eyes while Cooper, Jackson and I, laughed our asses off.

“Funny, ass**les.” Mason shot back.

CC yelled from the top of the stairs, “What the hell’s going on down there?”

I walked over to the bottom of the stairs and yelled back up, “Oh you know? Hailey loves her chocolate milk…”

CC cut me off, “Hunter don’t you dare finish that sentence.” I started cracking back up again. “Come get me.” She whined. I climbed the stairs and brought CC back down with Jaylinn and Chloe following behind.

“How the hell am I going to go out like this? I can’t even walk or use the crutches and I’m scared shitless the girls will drop me.” CC voiced her concern to me.

“Hunter, please tell her we can handle it.” Chloe piped up behind me.

I kissed the side of CC’s head, “They can handle it, and you barely weigh a thing.”

CC glared at me, “Are you kidding me? Have you seen my ass lately? The longer I sit on it, the bigger it’s getting.”

I wanted to laugh at how cute she was but I knew she was self-conscious about her body now. I mumbled in her ear, “I love that ass. The things I want to do with it.”

Her eyes widened, completely in shock, “Umm…”

Exactly the reaction I wanted, speechless. “You’ll be fine, but if it makes you feel better we can follow you to the mall and put you in the wheelchair. The boys and I are going to watch the game at the bar not far from there.”

CC looked at the girls and they all smiled, Jaylinn spoke up first, “It’s up to you.”

She looked at me with those piercing blue eyes, “Please?”

I actually kind of liked that she was leaning on me; she knew the girls would never let anything happen to her, but she wanted my security. “No problem.”

After we dropped the girls off at the mall, the boys and I went over to the sports bar not too far away. I was glad we’d chosen to come here so we were close by if anything happened.

We walked in and the place was packed, we found a table in the back corner and went to sit down. The waitress, a cute redhead with crazy curly hair came over, “My name’s Danielle, I’ll be your waitress today. What can I get ya?”

We all ordered our beers and Danielle couldn’t take her eyes off Mason. It didn’t help that Mason was flirting with her either. I saw his hand fall from the table and the girl shifted her weight to her other foot. When she walked away, I glared at Mason, “What the f**k are you doing dude?”

“Nothing.” He brushed me off, “Just making sure we get taken care of since it’s so f**king packed.”

I shook my head in disgust. “Any word from your dad, dude?” Cooper asked.
