Chapter 30
Montana remembered she had to make a phone call on a work related issue when they got to the next city for a tri-branded show and her phone battery was dead. Mariah was already at the arena to set up with the ring crew, Shaun had taken the girls to lunch and Paul had an appointment. Brian happily loaned her his.
“Just slide it under the door when you’re done,” he said, yawning. “I’m going to crash.”
“Thanks.”
Montana made the brief call and then when she had gone to shut the phone off, had pressed a button and gotten a video instead, causing her to laugh out loud.
There on the tiny screen, both Brian and Paul were dancing in the nude to “Touch My Body.”
Just when you think you know someone, she thought with amusement. The loving, caring father dancing in the full monty to a Mariah Carey song with his best friend….
Montana had no idea of when the video had been taken, but she guessed it had been sometime before the draft, being Paul and Brian often shared rooms for a long time up until then.
Getting an idea, she figured out how to send a copy to her laptop and hit the SEND button, still giggling. Shortly after, Paul had come into the room.
“What’s going on?” he asked. “And what are you doing with Spanky’s phone?”
“Mine was dead and I had to make a call for work,” she replied. “I borrowed his. But when I went to turn it off, I hit a button by accident and got this.” She showed him the screen.
Paul went white. “Fucking hell!” he cried. “Give me that. I’m going to kill his ass.”
“Why? You guys look like you were having fun. But I guess you’re right; some things should be left to the imagination.”
“What the hell is left to your imagination? You just saw a video of my and Brian’s dicks! Not that he‘d probably care; he has no fucking shame, but—”
“For the love of God, Paul, it isn’t like I haven’t seen yours before. And just think, there’s a lot of girls out there that would probably die to see this, like that girl who waited on us at breakfast before we left this morning.”
“Oh yeah, the waitress you were all but giving the death stare,” Paul nodded.
“And your eyes were all but falling out of your head staring at her chest,” Montana replied.
“I’m a tit guy, what can I say? And they were right there.”
“Still, you didn’t have to ogle and flirt with her in front of the girls. What’s that telling them? And if you ever have a boy, are you going to use that example around him too?”
“Gee, maybe I should put blinders on then. Come on, Montana, haven’t we been through this shit? Just because I’m being nice to women doesn’t mean I’m going to whisk them off somewhere and fuck their brains out. I’ve been past that since I married Reggie and the girls were born. Hell, before you came along, my hand was my only consistent date for a long time.”
Montana couldn’t help it; she began to laugh again. “And evidently, so was dancing with Brian in your birthday suits.”
“You are not going to let me live this down, are you?”
She cuddled up to him. “Maybe….maybe not…”
“Hmmmm. You know what I love about you, baby? You got a good sense of humor. You get my sorry ass. You listen to all my bullshit, the girls love you, you love them, my best friend’s probably the weirdest guy and perhaps the biggest pervert anyone can meet, yet you two dig each other, my parents even think you’re something special, you and I just blend so damn well, and I‘ve been thinking about stuff, and—”
Montana bolted upward, having some idea where this could be going. “Paul, are you asking me to marry you?”
“Uh…..”
“If you are, the answer is yes!”
“Yeah?”
“Yes.”
“Wow. I wasn’t really expecting something like this. I've felt that way for a while, but given my past with expressing my feelings to girls, I've never been one to word it properly.”
“Well, I think you did it just perfect. I don't need fancy words from a guy to tell me how he feels or some gooey proposal.”
“Good, because I don't even know the meaning of ‘fancy words’ But I was going to get to the good part before you figured it out.”
“Now the fun part is going to be telling two little girls,” Montana smiled up at him. “And I think they are going to be very happy.”
“Oh yeah,” Paul agreed. “And I think quite a few other people are going to be happy too. Meanwhile, let me call Shaun and see if she can entertain my little sprouts a bit longer. We need to go find their soon to be new mami a ring.”
