"Remind me again why I hired you?" James groaned after Andrei cracked his fifth joke since entering the car not even ten minutes ago."Because of my good looks, of course." Andrei snickers which only makes James roll his eyes in response.
These two grown ass men have been going at it like teenage boys fighting over who's balls are bigger... and honestly, all the testosterone is giving me a migraine.
"This is going to be a long car ride." I huff, slouching into my seat and rubbing circles over my temples with my fingers. James wraps his arm around me and pulls me into his side.
"No it's not, sweetheart, because Andrei is going to shut his mouth." he plasters a fake smile on his face while glaring at him. "Nu-i așa, frate (isn't that right, brother)?"
Andrei lets out a long, exasperated sigh. "Fine, no more jokes." he brings his fingers to his mouth and mimics pulling a zipper across his lips.
My phone rings loudly from my purse, causing me to jump from the sudden noise. I quickly fish it out before my head spins even more but the name that pops up on the screen makes me let out a tiny squeal instead. Finally, a break from these men.
Excuse me while I say a silent prayer to whoever is listening.
"Nat!" I exclaim a little louder that I had originally intended, making James and Andrei wince.
"Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to youuuu..." she begins singing on the other end of the line, causing me to cover my face with my free hand.
"Oh, God." I giggle as she continues with her little performance.
"Happy birthday dear Cleoooooooooo..... haaappppyyy biiirrrthhhdayyy tooooo youuuuuuuuu." she dramatically draws out almost every word, making me throw my head back in a fit of laughter.
"Thank you, babe." I finally croak out once my amusement dies down. "I appreciate it."
"So how's Cali?" she asks.
Why am I not surprised that she knew? She's got Steve wrapped around her finger.
"Well, we just got here. We're in the car now heading to god knows where because someone..." I pause and fake a glare at James, making him chuckle under his breath. "...won't disclose that information. Men, I tell you." I scoff. Nat giggles in my ear while Andrei tries to contain his own laughter front the passenger seat.
"Hmm, must be tough carrying all the weight of being a showoff on his back." she snickers, raising her voice a few octaves so James can hear her through the phone.
"You're just mad that I whisked her away on the morning of her birthday." James chimes in with a smug smirk, inching closer to the phone so Nat can hear him better.
