So, it was a no brainer that I had to have them in The Proposal. Here they are getting under Aidan's skin yet again!!
“Uncle Aidan?” Percy began.
“Yeah?”
“Don’t you
think you ought to marry Emma?”
Aidan
jerked his head up, slamming it against trunk lid. “FUCK!” he shouted as he saw
stars before his eyes. A few more expletives escaped his lips as pain raged
through his skull.
“Nice
mouth you got there,” John chided.
Gritting
his teeth, Aidan rubbed his aching head. “You mention that to your mom, and
I’ll tell her about your ball-sack comment.”
John’s
eyes widened. “Dude, that is so not
cool!”
“Yeah,
well, that's what blackmail is for.” Aidan started to resume gathering up the bags when he
noticed Percy staring expectantly at him for an answer. Aidan sighed. “Perce—”
His blonde
brows knitted together. “Don’t you love her?”
“Oh
Christ,” Aidan muttered, raking his hand through his hair. He winced as pain
once again shot through his head. “Did your mom put you up to this or
something?”
“No. When
I asked her the same question, she just said that you were a cad.” Percy
shrugged. “I don’t even know what that means.”
“I’m
pretty sure it’s a dude who acts like a douchebag to women,” John said.
Aidan glared over at John. “I am not
a cad!”
He held
his hands up. “I didn’t say it. Mom did.”
Leave it to his sister the
English professor to resort to name calling him something from the nineteenth
century. He handed Percy one of the box’s from Earl and Virginia’s. “Perce,
it’s complicated because—”
“You’re a
cad?” John asked.
Ignoring
him, Aidan said, “I was stupid and did something that hurt Emma’s feelings
pretty bad. It’s going to take her some time to forgive me and let me back into
her heart.”
Percy shifted the box he was carrying to one hip. “You’re
having a baby with Emma, so the responsible thing to do would be to marry her,”
he said sensibly.
Aidan blinked a few times at Percy. “Did I hit my head
harder than I thought, or did you actually just sound like a mature adult,
rather than a kid?”
Percy grinned. “Maybe. Dad always says I’m an old soul.”
Aidan laughed. “I think he called that one right.” He
glanced over to John who wore an amused smirk. “Of course, anything you say has
to sound light years above this one,” he said, jerking his thumb at John.
