Chapter Twelve

We’ve All Got Our Own Brand of Crazy

Laney

“I got an email today that I know was from you but the sender was ‘Mommy Butt-lover’? What the fuck?” That was Fiona’s greeting when I called her to fret about Nate that afternoon. She was trying not to laugh and doing a piss-poor job at it.

“Christ on a cracker – I know. I'm going to kill Gavin. No one will recognize his body. He had Rocco tell Siri to call me ‘Mommy Butt-lover’ from now on instead of ‘Laney’ and it changed my outgoing email identifier! I replied to just about everyone in my address book today about a birth announcement. Everyone is going to see that ‘Mommy Butt-lover’ thinks the baby looks just like his daddy. God, how embarrassing!”

“Not to mention confusing.” She was cackling by this point and I couldn’t help but smile a tiny bit.

“I hate my life,” I managed.

“No you don’t. Your life is great – awesome kid, cute house, sadistic brother…what more could you ask for? Except maybe…hot construction guy?” I could see I wouldn’t have to introduce the real reason for the call. She knew me too well.

“I’m starting to think hot construction guy is going to be a part of my life whether I want him to be or not.”

“I knew it, I knew it,” she sing-songed loudly in my ear.

“We totally made out again in my kitchen and he asked me to have dinner with his parents tomorrow.” I blurted out.

Silence.

“It’s weird, isn’t it?” I stated more than asked.

“Well, the making out part isn’t weird at all – in fact that part is dreamy – and please tell me you got to touch his butt and it was as perfect as it looks.”

“Yes, and hell yes”

“I knew it!” The song was back.

“Okay, shut up. The make out session was so hot I can’t even begin to describe it accurately. My breasts physically swelled – I didn’t even know that could happen. But the dinner thing is stressing me out!”

“Alright, calm down. How exactly did he ask you? Was he like, ‘Hey Laney, since we made out a couple times and we’re clearly getting married why don’t you come meet Mom and Dad tomorrow and then we can make beautiful babies together?’ or was it more like, “Hey, I’m going over to my parents’ to grab a bite. Wanna come?’”

“I guess it was more like the second one. He invited Rocco and Gavin too.”

“Then what are you stressing about. I think it’s sweet.”

“You do? You’re sure?”

“Yeah. You worry too much. Go and have fun and then report back to me. Now get back to Nate’s ass – I need more details!”

“Why is it we never talk about your love life?”

***

After the whole Siri debacle, it wasn’t too hard to guilt Gavin into coming to dinner at the Murphy’s. It did involve free food, after all, but I neglected to warn him about Mrs. Murphy’s supposedly horrific cooking. Can you blame me? I fed Rocco a sandwich before we left so he would be all set – Gavin could fend for himself.
