Suddenly cut off by a pillow to the face, she moved it and continued completely unfazed. “Scratches on his back.”
Eyebrows raised, Chris said, “So it went well then.”
Deacon smirked a little, and said, “Yes. Now can we stop gossiping like old women?”
Flopping back down on his couch, he stretched out, and turned up the television.
Shifting topics, Chloe said, “Our defensive line looks like shit this season. Hope the Bucks aren’t bringing much on offense.”
Chris took a long swig and said, “Their passing game is crap.”
Snorting, Chloe said, “Which is also fortuitous because our secondary is shit, too.”
Shaking his head and smirking, Chris said, “You’ve got such a foul mouth, Chloe.”
“What can I say, I’m a classy bitch.”
Chris tipped his beer at her, toasting her statement and agreed, “That you are.”
Deacon sat there, idly listening to the conversation, sipping his beer. Naturally his thoughts drifted to Sara. As if by magic, his phone buzzed.
Sara texted him, hey you. Hows your day going?
Smiling, Deacon typed, drinking beer and watching football with Chris and my sister. What about your day? Still hard at work?
His phone buzzed again. just wrapped up the job. It was much easier than i thought. About to go collapse. I am tired and achy.
Grinning he responded, Poor girl. I’ll give you a rub down next time I see you.
His phone immediately buzzed with a response. holding you to that! now I’m gonna go take a hot bath, then curl up in bed. Wish you were here.
Smiling, he texted back, Enjoy. Sweet dreams…
Setting down his phone, he looked up to see both Chris and Chloe smirking at him.
“What?” he asked, defensively.
“Was that your girlfriend?” Chloe asked in a singsong voice.
Flipping them both the bird, he said, “Eat me.”
Chris guffawed and then they turned their attention back to the game.
By 4:00 p.m., their demise was complete. The Bucks had edged them out, miraculously finding a decent passing game. They collectively drowned their sorrows with Mario Kart. Chris just barely beat Deacon, but Chloe ended up destroying them both.
After they left, Deacon was at loose ends. Deciding to work a little bit, he grabbed his laptop and caught up on some of the paperwork he brought home with him.
A few hours later, he had completed most of it. He was getting up to stretch when his phone buzzed. Picking it up, he was surprised to see a text from Sara.
She said, Taking a nap at two was stupid. I’m wide awake now.
Deacon responded, Your sleep schedule is gonna be all jacked up now. Sorry.
His phone buzzed again with her response, So worth it.
He responded, Call me.
A moment later his phone rang. Smiling, he picked it up and said, “Hey, beautiful.”
