can’t help myself. Living with four men, makes you a little bitchy sometimes.
Justin had come walking out of the studio door as we were walking in, “Hey” he said. “Jenna right?” he asks. I look up to him. Great, I’ve got Brennan standing behind me and Gabe at my side. Someone please shoot me now.
“Hi. Yep, so glad you remembered.” I answer sarcastically. He had told me he would call me and I heard nothing from him, not even a text. Who the hell does that? I hear his friends laughing and giving him a hard time at my dismissal.
“Okay then. I see how it is. Well.” He looks between the guys. I’m sure the looks from Gabe and my brother are unpleasant. “Guess I’ll catch you later. You still have my number right?” I think I just heard a grunt from Gabe. Fantastic. I don’t even bother opening up my mouth at this point. I simply look up, roll my eyes and nod. “Good. Use it sometime.” He said as he winks at me and walks away.
I don’t even wait for either of the boys to say anything. I put my hands up and say. “Not a word. Not one fucking word from either one of you. Got it?” I pull out my ear buds, pop them in my ears, and blast whatever is playing while I wait for Drew and Matt to rescue me. There is no way in hell that I have the patience for Brennan or Gabe right now.
Out of all the times to run into Justin, it happens to be in front of my brother and Gabe. That was not what I needed. Grabbing my phone, I realize I’m about half way home. I open my message app and put the numbers into the message area and type a quick message.
Hey, it’s Jenna. Just wanted to put you into my contact list. Sorry about earlier. Um, you kind of caught me off guard .
Staring down at the text, I quickly delete the message. “Shit” I groan. Instead I send Brennan a text:
I’m about 15 minutes away I think. Dying! Hope Matt’s got some good grub!!!
I put my phone in my pocket as I pick up speed. If Justin wants to contact me, he can be the one to do so. He has my number. Let’s just hope he does before we all get new numbers. My pocket vibrates, I pull it out hopeful it’s a text from him. With slight disappointment, it’s from Brennan.
Walk faster Sis. Shit smells Delish. B
UGH. I quickly begin to walk faster when suddenly a car honks behind me causing me to jump out of my skin. Turning in fear, I notice its Brennan and Gabe.
“You dickhead! You scared the shit out of me.” Brennan laughs as Gabe pulls to the curb.
“Get in Jems, we’re all waiting on you.”
Climbing into the back seat of the White Escalade, “You could have just called me you know?” I reach over and smack both of them on the back of their heads.
Gabriel rubs his head, “Hey! I fucking told him to call you!”
Laughing at him I reply, “Well you honked right? So I don’t take it back! Let’s just go. I’m starving.” I say as he pulls away towards the house. I rest my head on the headrest and look out the window while my mind races.
After dinner, we decided to take the night off and relax by the pool. Brennan and Matt were in the Jacuzzi talking about the studio. Drew was sitting in the lounge chair, talking to his mom I think. Gabe and I are floating around. Our feet are intertwined with each other so we can float together. We’re both on our phones. He sends his sisters pictures all the time. As much as he says he doesn’t miss his family, I know he misses his sisters the most.
I am playing a word game with a few girlfriends back at home. I try not to communicate to them much because they always had the tendencies to help me feed my addiction, so I keep my contact with them to a minimum. Sometimes when I need help with a word, he will pull his float over next to mine, grab my phone while I take his and solve the problem. I scroll through his texts with his sisters, and delete the messages he gets from all his girlfriends. He thinks I’m just jealous, can’t say it doesn’t bother me. It just
