“Is everything alright?”

“Yeah, it’s fine. I’ll fill you in sometime soon.”

“Alright, well take care of your shit. I’m gonna go.”

I hear giggling in the background and sounds that I do not want to hear following.

“Yeah, bye brother.”

I hang up the phone before I make my next phone call to Lash. This is going to be a rough explanation, so maybe I will just text him to meet Mason and I at one of the diners in town. Mind made up, I pull up our text thread.

Me: Hey brother, I need a huge favor today.

Lash: What do you want, asshole?

Me: Can you get away from the shop today and meet me at Frankie’s for breakfast and bring Declan?

Lash: This is a very interesting request. I don’t know. I’ll have to run it by my mom to see if Declan can miss some of school today. Why what is up?

Me: I’d rather explain it in person, but I really would love it if Declan can be there. It would help me out tremendously and can you keep this shit between us? I’m not ready for this information to get out.

Lash: Alright, you are paying for breakfast. You interrupted mine. I thought it was a fucking emergency and with the way your ass has been lately, I didn’t know if I was going to have to bail your ass out of jail.

Lash: Oh and by the way, when I say breakfast I mean you interrupted my favorite breakfast. So you owe me more than breakfast. I’m going to have blue fucking balls all day.

Me: What is with you and your brother-in-law? You can’t handle like two fucking minutes without trying to fuck your women? I mean I can guarantee that you already got some this morning so stop being fucking greedy.

Lash: What brother-in-law are you talking about? Nevermind don’t tell me that. You know what, you are right, I did wake up with my woman’s mouth around my cock and get some great morning sex from it. I want to knock her ass up again.

Me: Would you let the woman fucking breathe? I swear your ass needs to learn what birth control is. She just had fucking twins and been woke up from a coma. You’re already trying to get her to have more of your spawns.

Lash: Shut up or I will not bring my child to this breakfast of yours. Declan does not need to hear all the mean things you say about his dad.

Me: You’re stupid. Meet me there in like thirty minutes. Does that give you enough time for a quickie?

Lash: Bless you.

Getting to the diner about twenty five minutes later, I decided to take a booth where I could watch the door. I had Mason slide in before me.

“So are we meeting your friend here?”

“Yeah, bud we are meeting my friend and I asked him to bring his boy along so that you could meet a new friend.”

He nods his head before he goes back to looking at the menu. I look over at him and know that I have to figure out what to do for him for school. I might even bring this up to Lash, but I don’t know when I want everyone to know about Mason yet. We are still trying to figure this thing out and I really don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.

It is not too long before the bell above the door chimes and I glance up and see Lash come in with Declan. They both look around like they are trying to find me and when Lash’s eyes land on me at the table he smiles, until they move towards my boy sitting next to me. I see him mouth ‘ What the fuck.” before he heads our way.

Declan gets to me first and walks up giving me a side hug before he slides into the booth across from Mason. I look up and Lash is standing there staring at me. I point to the seat across from me.

“Are you going to sit down?”

“No, I need your help with something outside.”

I should’ve seen this coming. Really I should have.

“Alright, Mason this is Declan. Declan this is Mason. We are going to be right outside. If you want to order your breakfasts while we are gone go ahead. Your dad and I will take care of our orders when we get back.”

They both nod their heads, so I stand up and follow Lash outside.
