Mallory finds herself brokenhearted when she loses the love of her life in a tragic accident. She's left to pick up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend, Kendall. Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broke...
Sam and I enter Kendall and Scott's backyard, and I'm amazed by the fantastic job they did decorating. Silver and red balloons cover the archway that leads into their yard, and there are silver and red balloon bouquets everywhere. They have several tables with silver tablecloths and rose centerpieces, similar to our reception's decoration.
Kendall sees us enter and runs over to us. "Welcome!"
Benny is running behind her with his arms already up towards me. "Mal, Mal."
"Hey, Little Man." I scoop him right up and squeeze him.
Sam reaches over and ruffles his hair. "Hey, Bud. Are you staying for the party?"
Benny looks at Kendall. "Paree! I stay, Mama?"
She smiles at her son. "No, baby. Nana is coming to get you for a sleepover, remember?"
"Seep over, Nana." Benny claps his chubby little hands hands.
He wiggles out of my arms and runs over to Scott. "Dada, seep over, Nana?"
As I watch Scott pick up Benny, my heart melts. "Can he get any cuter?"
"He keeps me on my toes. His cuteness gets him out of a lot of trouble." Kendall laughs.
Sam quips, "Just like me."
I look over at Sam and raise my eyebrows at him. "You're comparing yourself to a two-year-old?"
"Uh, yeah. There's no age limit on cuteness, Mallory. If you got it, you got it," Sam proclaims, puffing out his chest.
I giggle and pat him on the chest. "You're so adorable that I can't argue with you."
He smiles, places his arm around my shoulders, and kisses my head.
Kendall rolls her eyes. "Okay, lovebirds, can I grab you two a drink?"
Sam gives me an evil grin. "Of course, make Mal's a double of the strongest thing you have."
Kendall looks at me to confirm the drink order that Sam gave her.
"If you're getting me a double, get one for my man too."
"Okay." Kendall walks away from us to get our drinks.
I turn to Sam. "You do know that you don't have to get me drunk for me to want to pull your ass into a dark room and have my way with you."
Sam looks at me, surprised. "Giving up already? We just got here."
"Well, you know what they say about being cute."
He laughs and pulls me closer as we make our way to greet the guests.
