I’ve never told everything to anyone. But then again it’s strange that she wouldn’t know every sordid detail of my past. I’m not planning on letting her go ever so she’s gonna cross paths with everything eventually.
I look down at her washed in the pale sunlight coming into our room. This I like. This I love – watching her sleep. Especially after a night like the one we had. I wore her out un til she passed out on my chest. Her lips are red and puffy from all the work they did. Her hair is a knotted, frantic mess. But she still looks like an angel in her peaceful sleep. An angel that’s been doing all kinds of naughty things. Shit. I tear my eyes away from her ‘cause I gotta get out of bed. It’s eleven o’clock and I gotta meet the guys at our rehearsal space.
I pull my jeans on and head out to the kitchen to make some coffee. Vi’s at the counter working on a crossword puzzle and the coffee pot is full. “I love you, Vi,” I tell her as I grab a mug and fill it up.
“It’s about time one of you came out of that room. I’ve been sitting here since eight o’clock just waiting to make sure that you were both gonna walk out of there happy. Can you believe that bitch is back in town?”
“Yeah, I can,” I tell her, taking a seat by her at the counter.
“You’re right. Of course she’s back. I knew there was something bad about putting Polly back together. She’s like a bloodhound sniffing out opportunity. I really hate that girl, Pax.”
“I’m with you, Vi.”
“How did Jessa handle it?”
“Not so well thanks to people like you telling her Stella broke my heart. Her over active imagination was inventing all kinds of stupid shit.”
Violet gives me a tight smile before saying, “It was a little intense Pax – your little reunion with her.”
I shake my head at that. “Is this a female thing? Seeing shit that don’t exist?”
“All I’m saying is I don’t blame her. But I mean , it was mostly Stella with her, ‘I missed you’ and ‘don’t make me go’.”
“Mostly?” I ask. Which I shouldn’t do. I already had this convo with the only person who matters as far as Stella’s concerned. I mean, Vi matters too where Stella’s concerned seeing how she was dating Vincent when he was fucking Stella.
“Yea h, mostly. You were a little too wrapped up in her.”
“I don’t know what the hell that means but I’m gonna assume it means slightly shocked and completely disturbed.”
“That’s not what it means but I won’t push it. You just better keep her out of your life. You should have seen her after you took off… she was trying to work her charm on every guy in that room and Billy, of all people, was playing Mr. Nice Guy with her. You might want to check in with your boy because when the rest of us got the hell away from her, he hung back.”
“He’s not that stupid,” I mutter. The girl can do whatever she wants to, but if Billy ever went there with her it would be the end of anything I have with him. Betrayal, no doubt.
“Let’s hope not. Just, seriously Pax, don’t get caught up in her games.”
“You’re getting way too hopped up on nothing, Vi. What the hell does she matter? Just stop talking about her, you know? Just shut the hell up, especially to my girl. She don’t need to be conversing with you about all or your psychotic takes on the situation.”
“Yea h, Pax. Fine. I just… I know you’re just gonna flip on me but I have to say it – you found, like seriously, the best girl in the world and you guys are both a million times better now that you have each other. And I love her. And I love you. And you better not even look Stella’s way if she shows up again – which you know is going to happen. If anything ever comes between you and Jessa my heart will shatter. Honestly.”
“Mine too, Vi. Mine too. I can’t live without my bab y and I will never let her go. So sit back and relax. I got this.”
“You think you do but it’s
