Travis
Cabot Reed. On his knees. Chugging beer out of a baby bottle.
Of all the things I never expected to see in my lifetime, this one takes
the cake.
In a lineup of other men—including a handful of Reed Enterprises
stockholders—Cabot sucks on that rubber nipple like his life depends on it,
and in true Cabot fashion, he finishes before the others. Next to myself, this
bastard is the most competitive person I know. There isn’t a game in
existence that man can’t win. And if he can’t beat it, he’ll buy it, though that
method simply won’t work under current conditions.
But hey, now he can add ‘chugging beer out of a baby bottle’ to his
many accolades.
He rises quickly to his feet and pumps his fist into the air, victorious
and proud—as if he doesn’t have droplets of IPA dripping down his chin.
Applause breaks out around me, and I scan the people in attendance,
wondering what fresh hell I’ve stepped into by coming here today.
Beside me, Rylan claps loudly, grinning from ear to ear with pride as if
her fiancé has just put an end to world hunger, not chugged beer from a
baby bottle.
I lean toward her and ask, “Who is this man and what have you done
with my best friend?”
Rylan pins me with a bemused stare. “He’s having fun, Travis. You
should try it sometime.”
“Right.” I raise my eyebrows and survey the scene. Fun? I think we
have different definitions of the word. And sometime in the past two years,
this woman has hijacked my best friend who—still gloating over his little
win—now also has a skewed interpretation of fun.
And I’ve landed myself at a coed baby shower of all things.
Sunshine yellow covers every surface imaginable, from balloon arches
and a photo backdrop of a million daisies strung together into draping
chains, to tablecloths and flower arrangements. Even the dessert table is a
swath of blinding cheer, from cupcakes with pale yellow frosting to
Waterford vases filled to the brim with Lemonheads, pale yellow gummi
bears, and wands of rock candy, which are clear and—you guessed it—
yellow.
Situated alongside each vase of cavity-causers are multiple towers of
lemon-flavored French macarons from Mille-Feuille. They’re the best part
of this party, even though every time I sneak one Rylan glares at me.
It is truly a testament to my love for my best friend and his girl that I’m
here at all. I don’t even like babies. Or large groups of people. Or small talk,
which seems to be in full swing around me. But I’ve always shown up for
Cabot, and once Rylan became a part of his life, I began showing up for her
as well.
“Come on,” she says, wrapping her hand around my forearm. “It’s your
turn.”
I stiffen. “Not a chance, Rylan.”
Rylan groans, then tries to tug me forward again. “It’s just a game,
Travis.”
I shake my head and meet her gaze. “I don’t really do baby games,
kiddo.”
