. No, I don t think you re crazy.I think it s cute that you guys don t want to wait anymore.What didyour mom and dad say? I asked her. I haven t told them, yet.You were the first one we told.We were just lying there in bed this morningafter he woke me up with his- Em, no.Don t go there.I can imagine just fine how he woke you up, and that s not something Ishould be able to do! I laughed as I said it because I couldn t help it.Emma and I both knew moreabout the other than our own doctors did.She laughed with me and then I heard a breathy moan come through the phone before she quickly said, Gotta go, talk later.Love you bye! and hung up on me.I chuckled and put my phone back down on the bed beside me, sighing when Jackson s arms cameback around me and Brandon cuddled up to my front. What was all that about? Brandon asked, his words muffled by my breasts. Just a thought that popped into my head when they said they were moving everything up. Brandon s head popped up and he quirked his eyebrow at me, asking silently for more details.Iobliged, telling him about the conversation. So, he began when I was done, we have two months toget ready for this whole wedding thing, huh? I nodded and Jackson and I both laughed at Brandon s expression.He grabbed my face and kissed meabsent-mindedly and then jumped off the bed, mumbling, Need to call Calland& definitely need torework the plans& as he headed into the bathroom.Jackson twisted me around to face him and proceeded to kiss me breathless. Good morning, he saidsoftly when he pulled back from me. Mmmm& good morning to you, too! I murmured. I have to get up and get ready for work.What doyou have going today? He stretched before answering, Got a couple things to do at the office today so I ll be heading toCincinnati in an hour or so. He d finally found an office building that worked perfectly for him andhad already gotten it up and running.He s pretty amazing like that. I ll be back around three or so to do some more work on the house after that.Why? Got plans tonight? He waggled his brows at meand I laughed at him.I shook my head and said, No, nothing going on but I have a feeling we re going to end up at Emmaand Luke s tonight to discuss wedding stuff.And I probably need to get ahold of Jenna and Leah tostart making plans for the bachelorette party. He nodded at me and then grimaced. Yeah, the last thing I heard about the bachelor party for Lukeinvolved strippers and copious amounts of whipped cream, he said, shuddering dramatically.My lips twisted into a wry smile and I told him, Uh-huh, sure& that is completely out of the realm ofcomfort for you, right? He grinned at me and kissed me again quickly before getting up out of bed.I laid there for a minutemore and then crawled off the bed, heading toward the closet for start getting ready for the day. Chapter 11Work was pretty uneventful at the store that day, and evening found me, where else? At Emma s.Brandon was still at work since he had the late shift and had a few appointments but Luke, Emma,Jackson, Chloe, and I were all sitting around the kitchen table, munching on some snacks that Emmahad set out and discussing wedding plans. Did you tell your mom and dad and everyone finally? I asked Emma.She opened her mouth to replybut a weird, almost horrified expression crossed her face and then she gagged. Emma? Are you--oh,holy shit! What the fuck is that? I jumped away from the table, pulling my shirt up over the lower halfof my face to block the God-awful stench that started to waft through the room.Everyone else was following suit, covering their faces with whatever they could find and lookingaround to try to figure out where the smell was coming from.I saw Luke bend slightly and look underthe table, doing the same when I heard him groan and mutter under his breath.When I peeked under there, I noticed a very large canine sitting calmly with a very large canine smilestretched across his lips, his tail wagging a mile a minute. Seriously, Doug? I groaned. Jesus,Luke! What the hell did you feed him? Luke shook his head and threw his hands up. I didn t give him anything, I swear! God it smells likedeath in here! With that he walked to the back door, swung it open, and yelled at Doug to go outside.Doug, clearly still enjoying his act of doggy-terrorism on our group, trotted outside with his tonguelolling out the side of his mouth.Emma jumped into the laundry room and came out with an industrial sized can of Lysol, spraying likea mad-woman, which left us all choking and spitting.Seriously, it was so thick in the room you couldtaste that shit on your tongue! I finally gave up and started toward the front door, shaking my head andlaughing as Chloe and Jackson trailed after me, and Luke followed behind, but not before he wrestledthe can out of Emma s hand and scowled at her.She scowled back at him and stuck her tongue outchildishly, making us laugh even harder when her face screwed up as she got a taste of the cloud ofLysol hovering in the air.When we were all safely on the porch, I heard Chloe turn to Jackson and say, Is it always like this? I could hear the smile in her voice and knew Jackson was grinning when he replied, Yep. We were all still sitting outside, this time in the back around the fire pit, when Brandon got there.Emma, Chloe, and I were roasting marshmallows and getting to eat maybe one out of every threebecause they were either stolen by the guys or we were talking and laughing too much and didn t payenough attention to what we were doing, so they fell off the campfire forks we were using into thefire.After a while, Jackson stood up and stretched, yawning loudly.I looked up at him and he winked atme.I grinned back because, well, I just couldn t help it (God, he s so hot) and because I knew whatthat twinkle in his eyes meant.He came and stood in front of me, reaching his hand down to help meup off the bench I was sitting on and wrapped me in a hug before releasing me.I saw him glance overat Brandon who nodded at him and got to his feet, as well.Chloe followed and we all said ourgoodbyes.When we got home, I headed toward my bathroom to take a long, hot bath.Before I reached thedoorway to my room, I heard Chloe behind me
