Chapter 7

Zach watched as Jo quickly erased everything she’d drawn.

He had zero idea what this word could be, but he was thrilled that he and Jo were close to defeating his parents. He and Amber had never beaten their parents in the playoffs. Nick and Greg had, but only once, and Zach suspected Mom and Dad had let them win.

Jo, bless her, was the perfect partner who’d gotten more into this game than he’d expected. He’d rarely seen her so animated. It warmed his heart that she fit in with his family.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s not real.

He pushed aside his momentary disappointment and focused on the whiteboard.

Jo drew a long object with two circles at the base of it. She added some wiggly lines on the balls.

Because...those sure looked like balls, didn’t they?

“Cactus,” he said, though that made no sense. That was an easy word, and she would have drawn a sensible cactus from the beginning. “Rocket?”

Then Jo drew the head of the penis.

There was no doubt now about what she was drawing.

Everyone else was snickering, but not Zach.

“Penis,” he said. “Cock. Balls. Circumcision. Erection.”

He couldn’t believe he was doing this in front of his parents and grandparents, but he was determined to win this thing.

Jo drew a circle around the center of the drawing, then turned to look at him. Her cheeks were slightly pink, her eyes wide and imploring.

“Shaft!” he exclaimed.

“Yes!” shouted Jo, pointing at him.

“Just in time,” Amber said. “I can’t believe you went there, Jo.”

“Yeah, neither can I.”

There was some uncomfortable laughter.

Ah Ma sniffed. “I thought Pictionary was a G-rated game. This is not G-rated.”

“The picture isn’t quite anatomically correct,” Greg said. “For example—”

“I think it’s a perfectly good shaft,” Zach said.

“Alright,” Amber said. “Time to move on. Mom and Dad, if you get this, we’ll have to do another round of sudden death overtime. If not, Team Hipster wins.”

When Jo came to sit on Zach’s lap, he was very aware of a certain part of his anatomy, especially when she wiggled to adjust her position.

Did she know what she was doing to him? Was she wondering if he had a perfectly good shaft?

He couldn’t help it; he rather hoped she was.

Amber turned over the timer, and Mom started drawing. There was a man with a beard and a hat. Santa Claus? And now he was drinking a beer?

Zach had no idea what this was, but he wouldn’t be surprised if his father still guessed correctly.

Next, Mom drew faces of people laughing.

“Humor? Laughter? Comedy act?” Dad said. “Christmas gone wrong? Drunk Santa?”

Zach stared at the timer and tightened his hold on Jo.

He wanted to defeat his parents, but if he was honest with himself, this was mostly about Jo. About the way she would smile when they won. She was so sexy when she was flushed and excited.

“And...”

“Boxing Day?” Dad said.

“...that’s time,” Amber said. “Team Hipster wins!”

Jo grinned as though she’d never been happier.

“What was the word?” Dad asked.

“It was ‘parody,’” Mom said. “Sorry, I had no idea what to draw.
