“So then whip out your balls and we’ll call it even,” Benny challenges, followed by a roaring laugh.
Tom joins in, and then it dawns on me that I can finally relax. These boys will always be my brothers. We had our rough patch but we’ve gotten through it. I just need to chill the fuck out and let all of us be. Have faith in our friendship and make better decisions moving forward.
And stop screwing around with strange women because you never know what’s around the corner.
“So, should we tell him the news?” Benny looks at Rose. She nods, and I wonder what the big surprise is.
“We’re having a baby,” she announces with a contented smile, happily holding onto Benny.
I’m happy for them yet sad at the same time. A baby means that Benny will be tied down with parental duties and zero time to hang out with Tom and me.
“Congratulations,” I say with a smile. “Who would have thought… Benny, a dad.”
“Don’t diss my dad skills, I can change a diaper like a boss.”
“Dude, you’ve never changed a diaper,” Tom chuckles.
“Nope. But I cleaned up your shit, Tom… when you sharted in my car.” Benny howls then walks over to give me a hug. “I miss you, man.”
“I miss you too, bro,” I respond, patting his back.
“Geez boys, don’t get all Brokeback Mountain on me,” Tom complains, scowling at our display of affection.
“Aww, someone’s jealous, come here,” I tell him.
Tom runs to us and throws himself on top of us, just like back in college. He has some weight on him—it’s those damn steroids he takes all the time.
“So, Noah boy is in love, huh?” Tom pushes my chest, forcing me to use all my strength not to fall over.
“Yep... and it sucks,” I finally admit out loud.
“It ain’t so bad.” Benny smiles, making his way back to Rose. Argh, the two of them are too cute for my liking. It only makes me miss Morgan more. And I hate that I miss her. It’s a sick carousel of emotions.
“Well, can’t wait to meet her,” Rose says.
“We’re not together... it’s complicated.”
She chuckles softly, grazing Benny’s arm as she speaks, “Someone once told me that love can do crazy things to a person. I’m sure, you’re acting pretty crazy right now. Take a moment to stop and think long and hard about what you want before it’s too late.”
I still remember the moment when I told her that. And now, the shoe’s on the other foot.
I hang out with them for a little while longer before saying goodbye. We promise to catch up in the near future, but for now, I have only one thing on my mind.
Morgan Bentley.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Just my luck, the flight is delayed. Another reason why I hate flying. I’m taking the red-eye back to California to finally take charge of my life. I know I want her, I just don’t know what I’m going to do or how to go about it. I thought that five hours on the plane would give me the answers I so desperately need, but between the screaming kids and the woman who excused herself a million times to use the restroom, I’m no closer to a desired outcome.
No clue whatsoever.
What makes this non-plan more difficult is the fact that I have no idea where Morgan lives. The only person who can help me is Scarlett.
It’s late at night, just after eight, when I drive at her place and pull up to the gate. The guard calls the house, and Scarlett’s quick to let me in. As soon as I park the car, I step outside and walk with ease to her front door. Upon pressing the doorbell, she opens it within seconds, dressed only in a white negligee slightly covered in a matching white robe.
Fuck, she must have company.
My eyes narrowly avoid her ample tits, staring directly at her face instead.
