was banished and fled to a city full of humans?”
(So maybe parts of the bible were a load of bullshit, I don’t know!)
“I think it’s probably more likely that all the different renditions got mixed up in the time before the bible was printed. That’s not to say that people didn’t change things or just make shit up. Hell, who knows if Jesus was actually male? Some transcriber/translator could have been pissed off and decided to change that. ‘My wife was a bitch to me last night so the Saints Josephina and her best friend Mary are now Jesus, son of god, and Mary is getting demoted to Jesus’ groupie.’”
(Regardless, you and Chezarei aren’t related to begin with so there is no incest. Since you are still having trouble with coming to terms with it, think of it like this: Eric ran the orphanage where you and Chezarei lived; there you two fell in love; you are related in no way)
That, actually makes sense…I need a drink.
I slowly unravel myself from Cheza and leave the bedroom. I walk to the bar and start pouring myself a tall glass of rum, pineapple juice, and coconut milk (with less water), that is mostly just rum. I made myself a rum heavy ‘chi chi’; I use the name that an animated TV series about four boys from Colorado gave it because it sounds slightly more masculine than Pina Colada. 6
(WHY IS THE RUM GONE!?)
“Sorry Captain Jack! Captain Morgan was trying to mutiny so I drank him!” 7
“Hey buddy…how you feelin’?” Natasha asks from the table where she is eating a continental breakfast with Tia. I respond with a grunt; the universal man grunt that says ‘it is too early in the morning for us to talk about my mother-in-law’ or something of that nature.
“I just had my mind fucked by a girl in my head about the topless girl that is in my bed; so no talking, just drinking.” I say.
“When I heard giggling from your room, I thought you two might be getting it on!” Tia exclaims.
“No, we didn’t. Airi made a joke and we both laughed, that’s it.” I explain.
“Then why is Chezarei topless?” Tia says with a surreptitious smile.
I think back to last night and where things were going before Airi’s joke. I choke on my drink as a response to Tia’s qu estion and then my phone answers my prayers for a much needed distraction. I walk into the bedroom and grab my phone, seeing a text message from an unfamiliar number that contains a single address. Only one address? Woohoo! That makes things so much easier! I consider taking a shower but then I realize that I might be able to leave Cheza here if I don’t, so I quietly gather some clothes up and start to leave the room.
“Don’t think that you are leaving here without me Cole.” Cheza says. “Hurry up and get in the shower while I get ready and don’t even consider knocking me out.”
I stay quiet and do as she says. Wall to wall jet showers feel great and they really wash your troubles away; like worrying about if you are a maniacal sadist, or the possibility of loving the girl who is almost your younger sist—
“Hey Cole, can I come in and join you?” Cheza asks.
“Uh…I’d rather you not, Cheza. I’ve got a lot on my mind and I’d rather not add to it at the moment.” I reply
“Oh…okay…” Cheza says, sounding downtrodden. Great, now I feel like a dick in addition to everything else.
“ Don’t worry, he’ll come around eventually.” I hear Tia say to Cheza before the other shower turns on. I jump out and quickly dress in cargo shorts, a white t-shirt, my holster and my jacket, not knowing what to expect and remembering Natasha’s words from two nights ago. I go out into the main area where Natasha and Tia are sitting.
“Hey, are you guys coming too?” I ask.
“Nope, I have to get Natasha caught up to speed on the whole liaison thing, Kira told me to, so it will just be you and Chezarei today; be careful Cole.” Tia says as Cheza comes out of the bathroom wearing a short cut blue and
