Del’s smile grew. “It’s Wyatt Carter.”
Evey gasped and turned to me again. “You’re seein’ Wyatt Carter?”
I shook my head. “No. She’s wrong. I’m not seeing anybody.”
“That’s not how it looked to me,” Del sang as she inspected her hot pink fingernails. “I will say, Callie, bravo. That man has some B.D.E. if I’ve ever seen it.”
I knew I was going to regret it, but I asked anyway. “What the heck is B.D.E?”
Evey and Del shared smirks before Del said, “Big dick energy.” Her eyes lit up with excitement as she went on. “Some guys just have it, you know? It’s like the way they hold themselves, the way they move. The way they don’t seem to give a fuck. You just know they’re packin’.”
My head fell back on my neck and I stared at the popcorn ceiling, wondering why I’d agreed to this movie to begin with. And on a deeper level, how I got stuck with such perverts for sisters.
“He’s got a big dick, doesn’t he? You can just tell,” Del continued.
“No,” I said between gritted teeth.
“He’s got a small dick?” Evey asked incredulously. “Man, I did not see that comin’.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.” I took a deep breath and leveled them both with a stern look. “Can we stop talking about the man’s genitals, please?”
“What do you think, Bea?” Del asked, completely ignoring me. “Is Wyatt Carter’s hung or what?”
She glanced at me first before turning back to Del and shrugging. “I’ve seen him before he shifts and he’s definitely not small.”
Del spun back around to me. “See? Even Bea knows he’s got a big dick, and she might have one of her own.” A resounding smack filled the room as Bea backhanded Del in the arm. My colorful sister rubbed her bicep while glaring at Bea. “What? If you did have a dick, it would probably be the biggest in the pack.”
Bea’s lips twitched with a smile. “It would, wouldn’t it?”
“Let’s get back to Wyatt’s dick,” Evey chimed in.
“Let’s not,” I groaned.
“If Bea’s seen his dick, then why haven’t you?”
I closed my eyes and imagined I was back in my room. Alone. Without asinine questions being hurled at me or conversations centering around people’s private parts. I really didn’t think I was asking for too much.
“Callie?”
I opened my eyes and ground my teeth together. “I haven’t seen his parts because I haven’t slept with him.”
Del snickered. “Of course you haven’t. Sounds like someone’s bein’ a prude again,” Del muttered under her breath. Obviously, she knew we’d all hear it because we’re werewolves, so her discretion was fake.
“She’s always been like this. Men bend over backwards for her and she barely acknowledges them,” Evey added.
I gripped the pillow in my lap so hard the seams strained, but it was doing nothing to calm my anger.
“Poor Wyatt probably thought he had a chance, but he’d have to be a bee or a single-use piece of plastic for her to notice him.” Del shook her head with mock sadness before she and Evey erupted into giggles. Even Bea’s lips were twitching with a smile.
And I’d officially had enough.
“Let’s get something clear. I am not seeing Wyatt Carter. I’m not seeing him romantically, and I sure as heck am not seeing his genitalia. I don’t care what kind of energy he has. He means nothing to me, and I don’t want to talk about him. Can we please move on now and watch the movie?”
They were all quiet for a minute as they glanced back and forth at each other. Finally, Del broke the silence. “Me thinks thou doth protest too much.”
The other two broke into peals of laughter and were soon joined by Del too. I tossed the pillow in my lap on the chair next to me and stood up. “That’s it. I’m leaving.”
Evey grabbed my hand as I passed her, and despite trying to dislodge it, the girl had a tight grip. “No. Please stay. I promise we’ll stop pickin’ on you. We’re just havin’ fun.”
“Well, I’m not,” I said
“I know,” she said as she tugged me back into my seat. “I promise, that’s the last joke. Let’s watch the movie now.”
She worked on queuing the film while I continued to stew in my seat. All I wanted was the solace of my bedroom, but it looked like I was stuck there for the time being. I swore to myself, if there was one more mention of him, I was leaving, and no one was stopping me.
Thankfully, they kept their word and we were able to get through a whole movie without any ridiculous comments. I thought when it was over, I’d be able to escape, but my sisters had other plans.
“Come have dinner with us. We missed you while you were away all week, and Del is leavin’ next,” Evey said, her blue eyes big and round and impossible to say no to.
I glanced through the kitchen doorway at the crowd and steeled my resolve. Even if I ran into one or both of the people I was looking to avoid, that didn’t mean I had to interact with them. I could keep ignoring them like I’d been doing and have a nice dinner with my sisters.
But of course, that’s not how it went.
As soon as I stepped foot in the kitchen, I spotted Aubrey at the sink, already washing dinner dishes. I didn’t think she’d seen me yet, but it was only a matter of time before I had to deal with her smug face knowing Wyatt turned me away for her.
I was just thankful I didn’t also have to deal with seeing him.
The girls and I found an empty table and thankfully, the dinner conversation didn’t revolve around me or… penises. I could
