“Everyone raise your glass.” I look at Young, and he points to my glass. “Do it, Becca, it’s not sexual.” I roll my eyes and want to hit Jeff when he laughs along with everyone else. “To Campbell and Kenz, two of the best fucking people in the world. I hope you have sex every day. And to Dickhead, he may not be here in person, but he is always here. Cheers.” We all drink, and I am actually surprised at how nice that toast was. He really does have a sweet side. “That being said, truth or dare, pussies.” And he’s back.
After talking to everyone last night, I felt like such an ass for not keeping them in the loop. Between my family and Mel, I’ve kept myself busy. I’ve been here for two months already, and I keep wishing I had more time. I’ve only got a month left here with Mel, and it is destroying me. I don’t want to leave her; I am completely in love with her. I haven’t told her yet, but damnit, I am. We’ve spent every day together since our first date. We’ve made love, had sex, and fucked. I can’t seem to get my fill of her. If I’m not inside of her, I’m touching her in some way. She’s become my everything.
I went and talked to Jenson like I promised her, but not before doing some digging. Turns out, he is pretty good at hiding things. A prick like that has things to hide, I’m sure of it. However, I did find out that his father is cheating on his mother, so I figured I at least had something good to use, if I needed it. I waited outside the police station for him one day and told him we needed to talk. I could tell he was nervous, but he definitely played it off like the prick he is.
“You have five minutes. I need to be somewhere.” I held back a laugh knowing he was full of shit. I leaned up against his truck and crossed my arms.
“I wanted to personally apologize for the way I acted the other day. I’m man enough to admit that I fucked up.” He gives me a half smile and crosses his arms.
“Man enough or whipped enough?” I take a deep breath to keep my anger under control.
“I said what I needed to say, but I want to make sure we are good. There is no reason for us to be at each other’s throats. We don’t even know each other.” He looks off into the distance for a minute before sticking his hand out to me.
“We’re good.” I shake his hand, but I know he is full of shit. He hates me, and I know it’s because he wants Mel. I grip his hand a bit tighter than I should and smile at him.
“You sure?” He pulls his hand away, shaking it out.
“Yea, we’re good.” He opens his door and looks at me. “I need to get going. See you around, Keith.” He gets in the truck and peels out of the parking lot. That was too fucking easy. He’s up to something, or maybe, I have the guy figured out all wrong. Maybe he is just a cocky fuck who gets off on feeling like the bigger guy. I shake my head, get into my mom’s shitty car, and drive home.
Things ever since then have been fine. Mel said if anything, he’s been overly nice to her, so I’ve been good with that.
The other news I need to talk with Campbell and Young about is my mom and sisters. With Connie’s help, we finally convinced my mom to move. She said she wouldn’t go to New York City, so I need to see if Campbell will help find her a rental in Jersey until we can find something permanent. I knew Karen was going to be as hard a sell as my mom was, but once I talked to Doug and he said he would love to move to New York, I knew Karen would come.
I had the interior of the house painted, every room. I had all the rugs replaced, my sisters decorated for the year 2014, and th
e house looks great. Today, I am meeting with the realtor to get the house on the market.
There is one other thing I need to do, and honestly, I’ve been avoiding it because I’m afraid it will cost me Mel. I need to tell her that I’m taking my family back with me. I’m taking her out to dinner, and then like every night, we will go back to her place. I’ve been trying to figure out the right way to tell her, but I don’t think it will matter how I tell her. She’s going to be upset.
I flip off the TV since I’m not watching it anyway and decide now is a good time to call my boys. Maybe they can give me some advice for Mel. I dial Campbell, and he picks right up. “Hey, Dick!” I chuckle because I’m so used to being Keith that I feel like Dick is a whole different person.
“Hey, man. Hang on, I want to get Young on three-way.” I dial Young, and it starts ringing.
“Dickhead!” Both Campbell and I laugh.
“Hey, I’ve got Campbell on the line too. I figured I’d rather just tell you both everything at once.” I look around at the freshly painted walls and smile. What a fucking difference.
“What’s up? Is everything alright?” I smile at Campbell’s concern.
“Everything is better than alright. Let me just get right to it. I’ve convinced my mom to sell the house and move to New Jersey. She said she’s definitely not moving to the city, so I figured Jersey was as close as I could get her. Karen and her boyfriend Doug and my sister Connie are going to get an apartment in the city.” I get up to grab a drink because this part of the story I’m happy with, but it’s the next I hate.
“Fuck, are your sisters hot?” Fucking Young.
“Dick, that’s amazing. I’m so happy for you. You mentioned when you had first gotten there that if you could convince her, you’d need help finding a place. I’ll have my mom contact her realtor friend and look for rentals and let you know.” I am so fucking grateful for everything these guys do for me. “Young, you have Maddie what does it matter if they are hot?” I laugh, listening to him.
“It just does. You pussies wouldn’t understand. I’m happy for you too. Does that mean you’ll be coming home sooner?” I sigh and sit at the table.
“That’s what I need to talk to you guys about.”
“Don’t you dare fucking say you aren’t coming back.” I rub my forehead and close my eyes.
“That’s not what I’m saying, Young, fucking relax. But I did fall in love, and I don’t know how to leave her or tell her I’m taking away the only friends and family she has here.” They are both quiet, and it is making me nervous. “Well, fucking help me.”
“Dick, I don’t know what to tell you, man. If it was me and Kenz, I would do whatever I had to do to be with her. I’d ask her to move here with me, and if she didn’t, well . . .” Shit, that’s what I thought he’d say.
“Well, what fuckhead?” Young is such a fucking idiot.
“Well, I’d stay there with her.” It is radio silence for a few minutes.
