Chapter 9

Harris

I felt like I couldn’t eat another bite, but at the same time, contemplated asking Lana for a few slices of her pies to take home later. Football was on, and I was struggling not to fall asleep, while around me, a few of the other men had lost the battle. Nik and Cole were snoring even as I fought back a yawn of my own.

A glance at my phone told me Lucy had been in the kitchen with the other women for a few hours now. After dinner, they had conned her into helping with dishes, when I would have rather she snuggled with me on the couch. I couldn’t sleep without her beside me, even if it was to take a nap on her sister’s couch.

Standing, I left my dad and Jesse to fight their own battles with sleep and headed for the kitchen. As much as I loved spending the day with our families, I was ready to go home. I wanted to fall into bed with Lucy, sleep for a few hours, get up and have some pumpkin pie, and then make love to her all night long.

As I walked, still half asleep, I could hear raised voices coming from the kitchen. Shit, what the hell were they arguing about now? Knowing those crazy-ass ladies, it could have been over anything. It wasn’t until I was nearly to the door that what they were saying registered. The drugged feeling from all the turkey I had eaten earlier disappeared, and I was wide awake now.

“How the fuck did you let this wedding get so crazy?” Lana sounded pissed, and at the mention of the wedding, I stopped in my tracks with my hand raised to push the door open.

“It’s what she wants,” Layla said defensively.

“No, it isn’t, and you damn well know it,” the younger sister snapped, shutting her up. “This is what you three want, not Lucy or Harris. Fuck, I bet that boy doesn’t even know half the crap you have been putting Lucy through with all these wedding plans. Besides the basics, I’m pretty sure he’s clueless on most of the details for this damn thing. But I’m curious, why the hell do you need a seven-foot cake?”

“Hey,” Emmie cut in. “Leave me out of this. I’m just the mover and shaker when it comes to getting these things done.”

“Oh, shut up, Emmie. You know good and well what’s been going on. You have eyes. You see how stressed Lucy is. You see everything, damn it.” Lana wasn’t letting her off the hook that easily. “Stop pretending like you didn’t have a part in all this shit.”

“The cake is going to look just like Beast’s castle from the new Beauty and the Beast movie Lucy likes so much,” Nat tried to explain. “She was all for it when she saw the pictures.”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure that was when she thought it was only going to be a few feet tall. You know, like a normal-sized wedding cake.
