“I told you, CJ, it’s a surprise.”

Cole was narrowing his eyes at me, and I could feel it burning my skin.

“Why the fuck are you calling me that?” I’d taken to calling him CJ when he asked questions he wasn’t supposed to.

“It’s either that or I full name you like your parents. But if you need a Daddy, I’m game.”

Cole’s laughter filled the air around us as we made our way toward our destination.

“No Daddy for me. But if you need one, I’m game to tell you what to do.”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at him. “More than you already do?”

He huffed indignantly. “I do not boss you around. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

I grinned. “Let’s see,” I said in a mocking voice that I tried to make sound like his. “Patrick, get on your knees and suck me off. Patrick, go get the whale penis dildo I just bought.”

The squawk that left his mouth sounded painful. Funny, but painful.

“You’re out of your fucking mind! I would never buy one of those. But speaking of whales, did you know a blue whale’s penis is between eight and ten feet long, and a foot wide in girth?”

I was dying. “Okay, no more Discovery Channel or Animal Planet for you.”

Cole laughed, then leaned over to kiss my cheek. “Then how would we learn all the useless information we’ll need to know to win at trivia on the Carnival Cruise I’m taking you on?”

“I am not going on a cruise. Sorry, not happening.”

“Aww, is my big, strong bodyguard afraid to get on a little, bitty boat?” he teased.

“I don’t know. You’d have to ask Phantom.”

Laughter and humor had returned to our lives like when we were younger, before fame and fortune meant hiding. I loved to hear Cole laugh, and when you got both him and Adam started, it was magical. Almost musical.

“Seriously, love of my life, where are we going that I need a passport?”

I smiled as I drove onto the on-ramp for I-5 toward Seattle. “I guess you’re going to have to wait and see. It’s a fucking surprise!”

“Well, that’s good, because I love fucking. And by the trajectory of the car, I would deduce you are taking me to… Canada!”

“Good job, figuring that out, Wishbone.”

“If you weren’t driving right now, I’d pinch you.”

I laughed and put my hand on his khaki-covered thigh. “Do you need to know, or can you just let me surprise you? We didn’t have enough time to take a long vacation with your rehearsal schedule. So just bear with me, okay?”

Cole put his hand on mine. “Sure thing, babe.”

“Thank you. Now go back to filling my brain with all your useless trivia.”

Our seven-hour road trip from Portland to Bowen Island, British Columbia, was entertaining as fuck. Cole fed me Fritos and Hershey Bars while he snacked on Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Twix candy bars.

“What did you do? Just clear out the junk food aisle at that gas station?”

“No. I just saw some things that reminded me of when we were growing up, so I bought them.”

How fucking sweet was that?

Note to self: Don’t let Cole pick all the snack foods for the bus.
