Brothers

Chapter 34

Christian's POV

"Oh my god no way!!" Anastasia gasps, talking in to the phone.

I look up at Anastasia. Anastasia looks at me excitedly muting the phone.

"Hardin proposed to Tessa. They're getting married." She shrieks in excitement.

He actually got the balls and proposed to her. Way to go Hardin.

She turns back to the phone.

"Have you guys picked a date yet?" Anastasia puts the phone on speaker.

"We haven't picked a date yet. We're thinking sometime in winter. Hardin wants to keep it small." Tessa says.

"Or we could just go to the court house and get it done there like I said before." Hardin says in the background.

"No we will not." Tessa says away from the phone.

"I want to help you plan the wedding. I love weddings. This is going to be awesome." Anastasia says.

"I wanted to call you and tell you. I'm so excited." Tessa says.

"I am too. We will have to get drinks soon. I expect to hear all the details later." Anastasia says.

"How about tomorrow night?"

"We could get the boys to babysit the kids." Anastasia winks at me.

"Im sure Hardin would love that." Tessa chuckles.

"Love what?" You can hear Hardin ask in the distance.

"We'll talk tomorrow. Congratulations Tessa. I'm happy for you two." Anastasia says hanging up the phone.

She looks at me and claps her hands in excitement.

I look at her and roll my eyes.

"Be happy for your brother." She says swatting at me.

I laugh.

"I knew he was going to ask. He showed me the ring the other night when they were here." I say getting up from the chair and heading to the refrigerator.

"Well aren't you special." Anastasia jokes. "Well I'm happy for them. Aren't you?"

"Yes. I am happy. Tessa is good for Hardin." I say.

Hardin's POV

"I'm not babysitting... just so we're clear." I say.

"I figured that much." Tessa says laughing.

"How long are you going to be?" I roll my eyes, grabbing Tessa by the hips and bringing her close to me.

"I don't know. Depends." She teases me.

"I mean — I could just not let you go and take you into our bedroom right now and."

Tessa puts her pointer finger to my lips.

"Don't finish that sentence mister Scott." She scolds me.

"Or what? You don't like me talking dirty to you Tessa?" I tease her.

"Maybe." She teases.

"When we get home then I'm going to." I kiss her, slapping her on the ass.

She shrieks and swats at me.

"Let's go Hardin." She says leading me out the door.

I roll my eyes and follow her.
