Justin waits by the car, watching as Alexander races around the two older men as they come towards him. He can see the slight smile touch Owen’s lips every time he looks up at Alexander, easing his mind that Owen would be a good father. David finally spots him and waves.
“I had thought Eve and Fox would be here to greet us, not you.” David finally grabs Alexander and pulls him to a stop.
“I’m afraid Eve and Fox are busy at the moment with my family.” He smiles at Owen as he sees the other man’s shoulders sag slightly. “Besides, I need to talk with Owen privately for a moment before everyone gets back to the castle.
Owen’s eyes narrow slightly but he steps around the car and away enough so they cannot be overheard. “What is it, Justin? I am ready to be home.”
“I’m sure you are but it will be a little bit longer before you can go back to your rooms.” Justin chuckles. “I’m afraid Eve and my family have taken them over for the time being. Eve decided she didn’t want to go back to her apartment because of all the Fae in town and your rooms were the most secure.”
The tightness in his shoulders leaves. “She is correct in that assumption.” He sighs softly. “I take it this means I won’t be allowed to stay in them?”
“Exactly.” Justin folds his arms and looks out over the hanger. “Sorry, but my grandmother was very adamant that you can’t be with her until the wedding vows are done.”
“Can I at least see her?” Owen grumbles softly, lips thinning in slight anger.
“I will promise you will see her at some point tonight.” Justin grins knowingly. “But tomorrow and up to the wedding, grandmother will even take away her phone so you can’t text her.”
“Very well.” Owen sighs again, running his hands through his hair in frustration.
“I also have a task for you.” Justin holds up his hands at Owen’s death look. “It’s simple and you knew it was coming!”
“Go on.” Owen closes his eyes, waiting for the worst.
“It is the task of the husband to be to bring his intendeds belongs to his home the day before the wedding.” Justin smiles again as he sees Owen start to relax again. “Most everything is already moved but her bedroom and bathroom. It is your job to personally move everything. You can have one helper for the heavy stuff but that’s it. No paid help at all.”
Owen frowns but sees the idea behind it. “Very well. I will start on it first thing in the morning. Any stipulations on who my help can be?”
“It is usually the person the groom trusts the most or best friend.” Justin shrugs. “Someone you know will take great care with her things.”
“And I cannot pick you.” Owen frowns.
“Nope.” Justin turns and heads back to the car. “I’ll be with the family doing rituals all day and watching over her like her father would.”
“I will think on it.” They finally reach the car, David frowning at them as he sees Owen deep in thought again. Owen sees him staring and sighs. “I will be staying at Eve’s apartment tonight.”
“I thought you wanted to go home, Uncle Owen.” Alexander slides into the back seat, letting his dad sit next to him.
Justin slides into the driver seat, grinning at Owen as he steps over to the passenger side. “He did. Change of plan. It’s all good though.”
“It seems my day will be busy tomorrow.” Owen sags against the seat, staring out the window. “It will not hurt to get some of the work done tonight.”
Fox, Elisa, Angela, and Eve sit around the table laughing as Eve opens another box. “You realize I have more than enough outfits to wear a different one every day for the next 2 months and still have some left over!”“Will they fit you 2 months from now?” Elisa grins and sips at her wine.
“Really?” Eve sighs. “You too?”
“Only one way to find out.” Elisa tosses a test up on the table, laughing as Eve rolls her eyes.
Eve snatches the test off of the table and stands. “I’m only doing this to get you guys to leave me alone.”
“If it comes out positive, we definitely won’t leave you alone!” Angela calls after her.
Eve comes back a few minutes later, sighing heavily. Fox sits up straighter, trying to read her face. “Well? What did it say?”
“Truthfully?” Eve lifts a brow. “I don’t know. I left it in there and didn’t look.” She holds up a hand, stalling Elisa from arguing over it. “I don’t need to know tonight. I have way too much on my plate to even think about it.”
“You’re just afraid he’ll pick it from your brain if you know.” Elisa grumbles as she stands. “Well I’m gonna go look cause I can’t stand the suspense!”
“Just don’t tell me. At least not until after we get back tonight.” Eve leans back in her chair, closing her eyes.
“I’ll just tell everybody else here.” Elisa grins as she disappears.
Owen follows David out into the garage, shoulders slightly slumped. “Why did I allow you to talk me into doing this again?”“Because you owe me and the rest of us get to have some fun at your expense for a change.” David grins and leads them to a black limo.
Owen’s eyes narrow slightly when he sees Coyote dressed as the driver and Justin lounging against the trunk, smiling at them. “Goliath should be on his way down. Xander changed him just a couple of minutes ago and texted me to say he’ll be here as soon as he’s properly dressed.” Justin opens the back door and waves them inside. “Ready to go have fun?”
Owen growls out “No” the same time David grins and says “Absolutely!”. Owen glares at them both before turning his gaze to the window. Justin laughs, sliding in beside Owen as Goliath finally appears. Justin nudges Owen to get his attention, handing him a bottle with golden liquid in it. “Grandmother gave this to me and said only you could drink it.”
Owen’s lips twitch up for a moment as he studies the liquid inside. “Gold Mead. One of the few things in this world that could get a Fae drunk.” He cradles the bottle in his lap. “I might need this before the night is over.”
David grins, leaning back in the seat to study Owen as Goliath slides into the car with them. “This I would have to see.” He winks at Justin. “Maybe we should spike his drinks with it.”
Goliath eyes the bottle as the car begins to move. “I would not touch it if I were you. One drop could kill a human.”
“Sounds like gloves will be needed if we plan on mixing that in any drinks.” Justin rubs his hands together, eager to see Owen’s reaction when he sees Eve at the club.
“I think it would be best saved until after I am back at Eve’s apartment so no one accidentally touches it.” Owen glances back out the window again.
“Packing up the rest of her things tonight?” David lifts his phone and smiles at the text there.
“Some of it.” He sighs softly. “I will do most of the work tomorrow morning.”
“If you need assistance, I would be happy to help.” Goliath smiles softly at him. “I understand how it is to move everything to a new home.”
“Thank you, Goliath.” Owen smiles slightly back. “I will take your offer gratefully. Come by when you are ready to work.”
Justin glances down at his phone, reading a text. His lips twitch up but he quickly smothers it. He texts back. Almost there?
Eve slips into the backdoor of the club, a tall muscled man leading her to the dressing rooms. “Full house yet, Derrick?”He glances back at her, smiling. “It’s amateur night. We’re always busy on amateur night.” He opens the door to the dressing room. “Good luck, Miss Eve. I hope he appreciates the work you put into tonight.”
She smiles back. “Oh, I’m sure he will but he’ll make me pay for the deception.” She quickly texts. Here. Be listening for Addicted.
“Hopefully it’s a sweet payment.” He winks at her and closes the door behind her.
Kira looks up from the mirror, her smile widening as she sees Eve step into the room. “I’m glad you decided to make it. I’ve got your outfit already laid out, Derrick already knows where to seat your bachelor party, and Tommy has your song queued up for when you are ready to roll.”
Eve starts slipping out of her clothes, throwing up her mental barriers enough that only amusement will leak out. “It’s now or never. Justin says they are on their way.”
Kira laughs softly, eyes slightly widening at Eve’s new tattoos. “Well, he’s not going to recognize you with those!”
Eve slips into the boy shorts and barely there bikini top, using the glue stick Kira hands her to keep everything in place. “And so long as I keep my mouth shut until it’s time, I hope it stays that way.” She glances up at the security screen and sees the boys walking through the door. “Looks like it’s show time. They have arrived.”
Kira giggles and points at the screen. “That one must be yours. He looks like he sucked on a lemon before he walked in the door.”
“Yep. That’s Owen.” Eve slides the mask onto her face, grinning as her hair suddenly turns red to match the color of the mask. “Shall we go greet them before my song?”
Kira laughs, checking to make sure everything is perfect before opening the door. “You’re a sadist.”
“Only sometimes.” Eve grins back.
