I’ve missed her since she left. Had I known the circumstances that I know now, I would’ve changed my mind.
Viola
I wouldn’t mind if you brought one home for me. However, with my current track record, maybe don’t. I’d just scare them off.
I glance over at Travis, who’s made himself comfortable in the chair next to me. After he dressed, he brought all his work shit out here and started looking over his laptop. Aside from his basketball shorts and junkie T-shirt, he looks all business. I can still smell the fresh scent of his shower on him, and it’s consuming my senses as I try to stay focused on hating him.
Courtney
You mean staying with Travis isn’t helping your dating life?
I can hear the sarcasm dripping from her mouth.
Viola
Travis lost his shit when I went out with Jason.
I hit send, quickly looking up to see if Travis can tell I’m talking about him. He’s barely flinched, so I know he’s completely zoned in on whatever he’s working on.
I pretend I’m reading on my phone as I wait for her to respond. She knows all about Travis since she flew back and visited me for a couple of weeks last summer. I always stay with Drew, but Travis and I have always had a mutual agreement not to be around each other anymore than we had to. Not much time has passed, and I’m already in hell.
Courtney
That’s because he so obviously wants you. I can even tell you that from all the way over here!
Viola
No, he’s hell-bent on ruining my life.
Courtney
Well, the offer still stands. Could book a flight and be here by tomorrow!
I wish.
Viola
I can’t. I already promised Drew and Mia I’d go to Lake Tahoe this weekend.
Courtney
Did you really have to mention that bitch’s name?
I chuckle, anticipating that exact reaction. She’s had a crush on Drew since the first day she met him, four years ago. Drew’s a good-looking guy, a police officer, but he’s clueless to how he affects girls. Unlike Travis, he doesn’t think he’s God’s gift to the women population.
Viola
LOL, sorry.
Courtney
I want to hear about all the juicy details when I get back!
Viola
Trust me, there’ll be no details to give.
Courtney
