… this one is not as PG as the last one…
“Cheers!” Pressing my lips together as the group of men all clink glasses and down the shot glass.
I only wish that I wasn’t lying to all of them.
M.D.:I guess dad decided after seeing everyone out there on FaceTime that he needed to go. So, now I’m at home by myself :(
I try not to laugh, but I can see her rolling her eyes as she types that on the screen. And I can imagine her at the house all by herself. Well, my thoughts get a little dirtier than I hope she’s going to be.
M.D.:See if we told them I could be with you right now.
M.D.:And this could be us right now…
A photo pops up of two people wrapped up in one another. You can tell that they’re fucking but the picture doesn’t show any of that.
I just shake my head as Ash sits down in the booth opposite me.
“You okay, Brother?”
“Huh, yeah. Just got some shit going on.”
“Yeah, I haven’t seen much of you in a while.”
Yeah, even when I haven’t been with Ella, I’ve been feeling too guilty to hang out with the guys. “Just a lot of shit. Ya know, personal…”
“Aw, shit. Things okay with the fam?”
“Something like that.” I tell him. Looking back down at my phone, at the picture from Ella that just came through. Coughing out, as I turn it over, because this one is not as PG as the last one. Mostly because the last one didn’t have my dick in her mouth. Just hoping that Ash didn’t see it.
Me:Woman…
M.D.:Oh look, he can respond.
Me:You’re trying to get me killed.
M.D.:I would never.
Me:I’m sorry Babydoll. We all just went out, after earlier. You doing okay?
M.D.:Yeah…
I know Ella. Those three dots mean that she’s not doing okay. I’m staring down at my phone as I hear Ash talk again.
“Look man, it’s got to be something…”
“Yeah, sorry. This, uh, chick, I’m kind of seeing…” Ash’s face kind of morphs and he smiles as he looks over to Caroline.
“You should have brought her.”
“It’s complicated.”
“Ah, the best ones always are.” He laughs out. Oh, how I’m sure he won’t say those words again when he inevitably finds out.
“She’s just going through some shit right now….” Itrail off,leaving it vague.
“Axe…” I look up at him before he shakes his head.
3 hours… That's how long it’s been since he has texted me back.
