“Too good, that’s the problem. Go work out or something, you know, burn off some of that testosterone or whatever is running through that dick of yours. That super body fuel that you tried to tell me you had last night.” She giggles as I grin at the memories of this morning’s early hours when we had sex hard and fast, then soft and slow, and then the fun really began as we both relaxed and jokes were flying between us.

Fun banter is so much better than fight banter.

“Fine, you win, but it’s Saturday. I’m not training, so I’m not using up all that testosterone you speak of. I’ll be keeping that super fuel for later tonight. All for you, my little dumpling.” I walk back into my room laughing as I hear her groan.

“I’m off to start vomiting,” she screams through the door while my chuckle just gets louder.

We both showered, and are now finishing up breakfast, when my phone rings.

“Hi, Mum.” I roll my eyes at Harper who has her hand over her mouth to stop my mum from hearing her laughing at my facial expression as I answered.

“Hello, Forrest. I’m so excited to see you and Harper tonight. I just wanted to know what I need to bring. Oh, and is it a fancy dinner? Do we need to dress up, you know, like sparkly or does your father need to wear a tie…?” She is talking so fast.

“Mum, Mum, slow down,” I say, trying not to laugh at her. “No, you don’t need to bring anything except for yourself and Dad. Flynn is cooking dinner, and I think I might make the dessert.” Harper’s eyes open wide, and she raises her hand up for me to high-five it. She understands that’s a big step for me. “And no, Mum, just dress casually, as you would if I was coming for dinner at your house. We are family, there are no pretenses here.” I try to calm her because I know she feels she needs to impress Felisha and now Harper being here as well. Not that Mum has any idea what is going on. She has hopes and will be trying her best to matchmake tonight.

“Yes, but those two girls are so beautiful and always look like they stepped out of a magazine.” I can hear the underlying worry in her voice of being enough for these two women.
