Morgan and I burst into loud peals of laughter.
“Do you think this is funny?” Jace’s eyes cut to Morgan, Will, and I.
His lips turn up in a small smile, despite his efforts to keep his grin at bay.
“Hey, guys, I heard a …whoa.” Damien stares at Jace’s head, his narrow eyes going as wide as saucers. “Dude, your hair is green.”
“Thanks to Trey!” Jace glares at his best friend.
With his mouth full of food, Trey blinks his eyes and shrugs his shoulders.
“You know we have a set tonight,” Jace whines, “how the heck am I going to get this out?”
Morgan warned me that the guys liked to play pranks on each other. I was fully prepared for this. I just didn’t expect things to get so intense so quickly. Hopefully, I’m never caught in the crossfire of these prank wars.
I like my hair just the way it is, thank you very much.
“Don’t be such a cry baby,” Trey stands.
Charlie’s boyfriend has dark brown hair and an easy, charming smile. The guy is a babe magnet. I don’t know how my cousin survives when he’s on the road. There are like a hundred fan pages dedicated to Trey Johnson.
Damien covers his mouth to muffle his laughter.
“Yeah, yeah,” Jace waves his arm, “laugh it up. You better hope this thing can come out, Trey, or I’ll sic Izzy on you.”
Izzy is Jace’s wife.
Trey lumbers to his friend’s side and ruffles the green hair. “I think it looks great. Izzy will totally dig it.”
“You better hope this thing washes out.” Jace warns again.
“I have a hat you can borrow.” Will offers.
Jace eyes the giant keyboard player wearily. Will is completely serious. I don’t think I’ve heard him crack a joke once since I’ve been here.
“Thanks, Will.”
“No problem.” Will dips his head.
“I think you look great.” Morgan says, though her voice is full of laughter.
“Oh,” Jace lifts a finger in the air, “so you wouldn’t mind washing your hair with dye instead of shampoo…”
“Don’t you dare,” Morgan glares at both Jace and Trey. “I mean it, guys. You’ve been smart so far with leaving me out of these pranks. You don’t want to see the disaster I will rain down on you if you mess with my hair.”
All the boys gulp, even Damien.
“Yes, ma’am.” Trey salutes.
Will snickers.
“And make sure you leave Kendall out of it too.” Morgan tacks on.
I high-five the bass player as the guys shuffle around, properly chastised.
“Thanks for that.” I wink. “I’m not a fan of neon green hair.”
“I feel you girl. And don’t even worry about it. We girls gotta stick together.”
“That we do.”
