"Happy New Year!" Alexis greets Abel and I as we head into Boone's house.
I feel like this is my home away from home, the only difference is that I actually feel as if I belong here. "Happy New Year!" I answer back, holding up the container with the birria and all the fixings to go along with it. "Brought the food."
"Oh my god," Boone groans. "I have been dreaming about this since I asked for it."
"He has,” Abel confirms. "He's asked me at least fifteen times this week if you're bringing it or not."
"Not fifteen. We've been in that weird week between Christmas and New Year's where no one knows what day it is."
"Oh, you knew. You knew to ask me every time you fuckin’ saw me.”
I wrap my arms around Abel’s waist. “Be nice to your dad.”
”Yeah, be nice to me.” Boone reaches over to mess up his hair.
We all walk further into the house, and while the guys go outside to start the bonfire, Alexis and I immediately begin work on the food.
