“You saw me last night, silly,” she titters.
“Still, it's been too long. I’m gonna wear you like a backpack so you’re with me wherever I go.”
She shakes her head, a smile breaking out onto her pretty lips. “You’re nuts.”
“Who’s nuts?” Neo says, walking into the foyer with a big smile. Sam moves behind Evie as he takes in Neo.
“He’s harmless, Sam. He would never hurt you,” I reassure him.
“Yeah, we're cool now that I know you don't want to steal my Queen from me. I’m chill with you being friends. Not that I’d have much say in it,” he mutters.
“No, you don't, so suck it up, buttercup,” I sass back playfully.
“I’ll suck something but it won't be a buttercup.” His smile turns into pure sex and sin; and for fuck’s sake, if I don’t get some action by the end of the night, with all of them making my pussy throb today, then I’ll lose my fucking mind.Or someone else will.
“Bad boy,” I growl, slapping his ass as we pass him, heading into the house.
Neo mutters something about fucking my brains out to show me‘how bad he really is,’and I don’t miss the blush that spreads across Sam’s cheeks.
“He kinda scares me. But I see how much he adores you,” Sam says, looking over at Neo who is now chasing Rosie out to the backyard.
“I’m pretty lucky to have all these people who love me,” I say. And I am. Every day they break down the walls I built around my heart. I’m starting to trust that they won't hurt me. I mean if they do, I can always kill them... just kidding. Kinda.
We hang out in the backyard for a little while to get out of Cass’s way while he continues to cook. Sam starts to warm up to Neo when Neo shows Sam the animals. When Susie licks Sam and doesn’t bite him like she would with anyone else, Neo dubs Sam—and I’m using his words—‘cool as shit.’That means he likes him, in Neo language.
The doorbell rings and Axel gets up to answer it. About fucking time the damn turkey got here. Everything’s quiet within the house for a moment, before muffled shouting starts. We all look at each other, wondering what the hell is going on.
Next thing I know, the sounds of a turkey gobbling comes from within the house. “Get back here you stupid, little turkey!” Axel roars. A second later a fucking turkey comes running through the back door and into the yard. My eyes expand, and I can't help but burst out into laughter. Only this kind of shit would happen to us.
Axel is hot on its heels and manages to get it backed up against Susie's pen. “Come on, little gobble-gobble. Be a good birdie and let me catch you,” Axel coaxes, bending at the knees, ready to pounce on the turkey. Just as Axel is about to launch himself at it, Susie leans over and grabs Axel’s long hair with her mouth and she starts to chew on it.
“Get the fuck off me!” Axel roars, trying to bat the animal away. Neo is roaring with laughter, Cass and Dean are watching with stunned looks, and Rosie is now running after the turkey who has managed to escape.
“Don't worry, this is kinda normal around here.” Evie laughs at Sam’s concerned face. “Although, the turkey is new.”
“Axel!” I bark. He manages to push Susie away and turns to glare at me.
“What!” He barks back, his hair wild like he stuck his finger in a light socket.If only.
“Wanna explain what the hell is going on here?” I ask, cocking a brow.
“Apparently, the fucking farm I ordered our turkey from took the word‘fresh’a little too fucking literally. They won't take the damn thing back!” Axel lets out a frustrated sigh.
“So, no turkey today?” Dean asks.
“Oh, we're having a turkey, just as soon as I get my hands around its scrawny, little neck,” Axel says through gritted teeth as he starts in the direction of the bird again.
“The hell you will,” Neo snaps, stepping in front of his cousin.
“Get out of my way, Neo,” Axel warns.
“You kill him, I’ll kill you,” he says, his voice dropping to a dangerous tone. Neo may eat meat, but he draws the line at watching poor, defenseless animals getting killed for him to eat dinner.
It’s like, I’d eat a cow, but if I met it beforehand and called it Betsy, there's no way in hell I’d be able to eat it without feeling like a monster.
“It’s a fucking turkey, we would have eaten him anyways!”
“Doesn't matter, he's alive!”
