Chapter Eight

Later that night, Baker escorted Millie down to the restaurant. They had already gotten the call from Alex and Sunshine that they had arrived and would be meeting them for dinner.

Butch and Cheryl would be arriving with them. Ned was once again on babysitting duty.

Ned Walker, Eva’s father and Tiny’s father-in-law, really was a force to be reckoned with. Everyone feared him, and most adored him.

Baker was heading toward the bar in the restaurant when he caught sight of his four friends.

Sunshine smiled at Millie, and the two shared a quick hello.

Helping her into her seat, Baker nodded at Butch and Alex.

“How’s the penthouse?” Alex asked.

“It’s perfect, Alex, thank you so much,” Millie said.

“Only the best for friends. I have to say I expected some other news to come home by now,” Alex said.

“News?”

“Yes. You, Baker, Vegas, a potential wedding.”

Baker chuckled.

“Why is everyone trying to marry us off?”

“They want us to be exactly like them, sweetie,” Baker said, kissing her shoulder.

“What’s wrong with us wanting to see you both happy? You’ve both got a right to it,” Sunshine said. “I’ve never seen you like this, Baker. It’s nice. The smile works for you.”

Baker kissed Millie’s head. “We’re not getting married. At least not this weekend.”

She turned toward him. “Is that some kind of proposal?”

“Nope. It’s a promise that it’s still on the cards to do.”

“Wow, is it?”

“What else do you think will happen?” He stroked her cheek. “We’re good together, you know that.”

He watched as her eyes dilated, giving away her aroused state.

“I’m starting to think The Skulls men are a little too confident,” she said.

“That you’ve got right,” Alex said, raising his glass. “To The Skulls.”

They all raised their glasses, sharing a toast.

“So, is there anything back home I should know about?” Baker asked.

“Whizz has been happy to inform me that Lash is perfectly well, and that he has a scheduled vasectomy.”

Baker spit his drink into his glass. “What?”

“Yeah, it seems the good Prez is so concerned with Angel and her giving birth that he’s taking the decision out of her hands.”

“No, it’s not just that. Whizz is being a girl, gossiping about everything.”

“I think I take offense to that. What about you girls?” Cheryl asked.

“I have to agree. In all of the years I’ve known The Skulls, the men do like to gossip,” Millie said.

Baker looked at his woman.

“What? You can’t give me that look. That time you were luring me to have dinner with Hardy and Rose. You were always talking about their relationship, and how Hardy wanted to try and mend the heartache between them.”

“I wasn’t gossiping.”

“You were talking about the relationship of someone else, gossiping. You see, women have more important things to discuss,” Millie said.

“Exactly. Like which brand of food mixer is the best,” Sunshine said.

“Or what brand of marinara sauce tastes the best,” Cheryl said.

“Or what should I get my husband for his birthday. He has everything he wants.” This from Millie. “We don’t gossip, and if we did, I doubt it would go in our partner’s favor.
