I like to believe that David is punching when it comes to my mother, but at the sight of his house, I'm not so sure. It was right on the beach, meaning the ocean was his back yard. Mom said it was just a simple beach cottage but that is probably the understatement of the fucking millennium. 

"It's gorgeous isn't it?" Mom ask as she comes to stand next to me, both of us staring up in awe at the pale weatherboards and white framed windows. Suddenly, the glass doors are thrown open and a figure struts out. 

"Welcome to my humble abode!" Spencer announces, his arms wide as a large smile is spread across his face. Mom rolls her eyes at her nephew before turning and heading back to the car. Spencer chuckles as he jogs down the steps to meet us. I hug him tightly to me as he reaches me, the both of us laughing together. I then step back and turn to my two friends. 

"Spenc, this is Vera and Penn." I introduce my two friends as Spencer steps forward and quickly wraps Vera up in his arms. They exuded the same energy, it was insane.  

"Uh, excuse me?! Is everyone at Caldwell so fucking gorgeous?" Spencer questions as he quickly hugs Penn. They were both smiling and blushing like crazy from the compliments of my cousin. As Spencer continues to chat my two best friends up, I join my mother at the trunk of her car and begin to unload the few bags we managed to fit inside. 

I was struggling to pull Vera's heavy as fuck suitcase up the stairs when the Range Rover pulled into the driver and all four bulking men hop out of the car. Well, technically three because Noah skipped out of the car with a big smile on his face. God I love him and his happiness. 

"Do you need some help Jones?" Chase questions as he runs his hand through his hair, staring up at me with a smirk, "We don't want your twig arms to snap." 

I drop the suitcase, huffing heavily as I glare back at him and lift both middle fingers to the asshole. 

"Hayden!" My mother scolds from the bottom steps and I instantly drop both hands, "Why are you pulling your middle fingers at such a nice boy?" 

"I wasn't pulling my fingers at a nice boy mother." I point my index towards him, "I was pulling my fingers at him." 

Chase tilts his head back, laughing lightly as he walks to the back of the Range Rover and begins to help David unloads. Even my mother can't help but laugh, shaking her head at her non-filtered daughter as she continues to heave herself and the bags up the steps. 

Grinning triumphantly, I turn and proceed to yank at the handle of Vera's Louis Vuitton suitcase.

"I remember walking into the kitchen, seeing the mess that had been made and then I notice this one climbing into the oven," Mom explains as she points her knife at me from the head of the table, "She was butt naked, covered head to toe in flour and butter because she was trying to bake herself!" 

Everyone at the table bursts into uncontrollable laughter while I covered my flushed face with my hands. After everyone had settled in, Mom & David created a beautiful dinner and we all sat outside as the sun slowly set over the ocean. 

And of course my mother would use this time to tell everyone my embarrassing childhood stories. I play with the sleeves of my navy sweatshirt, laughing lightly with the rest. 

Mom giggles to herself before leaning towards everyone surrounding the table, "Did I ever tell you the time she stuck her finger up the ass of a billy goat-"


"Okay!" I exclaim as everyone starts laughing once more, "I think that's enough embarrassing stories for one night mom."
