“What? That place would have been fucking perfect!” he says throwing his arms in the air.

“Young, that place was a fucking dump and the only reason you liked it was because it was across the street from that strip club. I’m not living across the street from a strip club that has people coming and going all fucking night.”

He looks over at me and says, “Campbell, that’s your problem. You couldn’t see the beauty of the situation. Strippers, Campbell, fucking strippers!”

I don’t even bother to respond I just shake my head and watch my speed because I am trying to make it to the airport in time.

We make it to the airport with five minutes to spare. “See asshole, I told you we would make it on time.” Young says all proud of himself.

“You’re just lucky we didn’t hit any traffic, asswipe! Next time I will leave without you. Now, let’s go in and find Dick!” I say walking to the doors of the airport.

We are waiting by the baggage claim when Dick comes walking over to us. “Holy shit! I am so fucking happy to be back.” He says while we give him a quick brotherly hug.

“It’s so good to see you, man! Glad your back.” I say.

Young says “Dickhead! Find any country ass while you were home?”

Fucking Young.

“Nothing worth talking about.” Dick says with a laugh.

We wait while he collects all his bags and make our way back out to the car.

“Shot gun.” Young yells running to the car.

“He is such a fucking kid.” Dick says.

“No shit. Young is the best nickname he could ever have.” I say back.

On the drive back to the apartment, Dick is filling us in on everything that he did back home. All the bars, chicks, and clubs. Again, he doesn’t say much about his family and after all this time, Young and I don’t pry. If he wants us to know, he will tell us. We pull up to the apartment an hour later.

We get Dick situated pretty quickly. When I told him he could use my bedroom and I would take the couch, he wouldn’t have it. So I put all my clothes in the tiny closet and let him have the dresser. The sooner we get out of this tiny apartment the better. I guess we will have to go check out the place Young suggested. It had better not be another shitty place. I will kick his ass.

We ordered a couple pizzas and are just sitting relaxing when Dick says, “Hey you guys want to go get a couple of drinks? It’s Friday night, we should do something other than sit here like a bunch of old fucking dudes!”

“Fuck yes. Let’s go find some pussy!” Young yells jumping off the couch.

I laugh and say, “Yeah that sounds like a good idea, Dick. I could use a couple of drinks after dealing with Young all fucking day.”

“Fuck off, ass licker! Your life would be a boring waste without me. Now hurry the fuck up. I don’t want all the hot chicks to be taken.”

With that, we make our way out the door and a couple of blocks over to the bar.

What a long week this has been, I am so happy it is finally Friday. I am sitting on the couch trying to find something good on TV when Maddie walks in and plops next to me. She lets out a sigh, so I look over at her.

“What is wrong with you?” I ask turning on the couch so I can look at her and she has her head back on the couch, looking at the ceiling.

“I don’t think it’s ever going to happen with the Starbucks guy. I think it’s time for me to let that one go. It’s just such a shame because he is so fucking hot, Kenz.” She whines at me.

I can’t help it and start to laugh. “I’m sorry Maddie, but why waste your time when you can have any other guy you want?” I ask.

She turns her head to look at me and says, “Kenz, it’s not about that. I don’t like being turned down. I always get the guy.”

She is to fucking much. I play along because it is easier than trying to be logical with her.

“You know what? I bet he is gay. That would be the only reason for a guy to not be falling at your feet.” That makes her perk right up; I knew it would.

“O-M-G, I think your right. Now that I think about it, he definitely paid more attention to the male costumers. Ugh, I can’t believe I have been wasting my time trying to get him to notice me.” She jumps up off the couch and says, “Well let’s get ready.”
