“Chicks, right?” Trent laughed, clapping a hand on Parker’s shoulder. Parker shrugged him off.

“What was that?” he asked, gesturing out the back door. Trent shrugged, scratching his head.

“A tension reliever,” he finally chuckled. Parker rolled his eyes.

“Whatever,” he grumbled, and stalked off into the living room. Paige was resting on a couch, her eyes closed. The morning sunlight was streaming in through the window above her. She opened her eyes when she heard him approach.

“Hey, where have you been?” she asked, yawning and stretching.

“We’re leaving,now,” he said, pulling her up off the couch.

“What’s wrong?”

“We were only supposed to be here for a little while, and now we’ve been here all goddamn night. Let's go,” he urged.

“You guys can’t leave!” Trent appeared next to him. “I promised pancakes!”

“Pancakes?” Paige asked with a laugh.

“No pancakes. We’re leaving,” Parker said.

“What’s your problem, man? The lady wants pancakes!” Trent said, and slung an arm around Paige’s shoulders. She smiled up at him.

Parker couldn’t handle it anymore.

“My problem isyou. People are snorting cocaine in the bathroom while you’re getting the world’s most reluctant blow job. I’m done,” Parker snapped and Paige made a choking sound.

“What are you saying?” Trent asked, his voice low.

“What are you talking about? Reluctant?” Paige asked at the same time.

“Thisdude. I was coming out of the bathroom, some chick ran out of his room, crying with lipstick all over her face. He thought it was funny,” Parker explained. Trent laughed.

“Shandy? Please, it wasn’t like that. She was upset about an ex-boyfriend, we were just talking,” Trent replied.

Liar.

“It’s none of our business who does or doesn’t blow him,” Paige added.

Parker almost exploded.

“Paige, are you fucking kidding me? I'm telling you what I saw!” he exclaimed.

“Paige,” Trent jumped in. “You’ve known me forever now, do you think I’d do something like that?”

Paige looked confused. Parker tried to contain his temper. She was still a little drunk, and he knew she was probably still upset from the night before, so he didn’t want to upset her even more. He gently grabbed her arm.

“Paige. This is me talking. I’m telling you the truth. Let’s go,” he urged, staring her in the eye.

“Whoa buddy, maybe you shouldn’t grab her like that,” Trent said before placing his hand over Parker's on her arm.

“Touch me again and I will rip your fucking head off,” Parker swore through clenched teeth.

“Parker!” Paige exclaimed. Trent laughed and held up his hands.

“Geez, you didn’t tell me your friend was such a jealous guy!”

“Paige,” Parker tried one more time. “I am going to walk out that door. I am telling you to come with me.” Before she could say anything, Trent squeezed her close to him.
