weeks.... Saturday breakfast is at Jess house this week, Jess invited me over. Eight brothers show up today. It’s a light day because of Memorial Day weekend. I'm helping in the kitchen. "You've been out with Danny three times this week." I hear the question she doesn't ask. "Yeah. We're working on being friends Jess; don't read more into it right now. I have a date with Len from work tonight." Her eyes whip to mine. "He asked and I said yes. How can I make a decision without information? You know I've been dating right along. Len is a hunk and he makes me laugh." Her whole body slumps. "I know you're right. I thought since you've been with him so much this week you made the decision. I wish he didn't turn into such a dick." "He's changing Jess. I'm giving him time to do that. We've been spending a lot of time together. We've done everything from walking the beach to checking out his jobs. I even went with him and the boys to collect worms. It’s all been good. This week we went to get things for his house. Even with the new furniture he says it didn't feel like a home. Just friend stuff." She nods, "no sex?" I laugh, "No. He hasn't even hinted at sex. My nipples wish he would, I can't wait to try them out." She laughs at that. "We've been doing friend stuff. I have to say, I love it. He's getting back to that funny guy I didn't even realize left. I'm really happy that he's getting back to the old Danny." She puts her spatulas down and hugs me. "You deserve the best of whoever you end up with. It sounds like your happy again. Don't you dare settle." She says with a stern look. I crack up and hand her the spatula. I think about what she said, I am happy. Maybe it's time to make a decision. Who am I kidding, I didn't stand a chance. I was always his.
Danny "Looks like Kate is still talking to you brother." Pres says on the side of me. Shit I didn't hear the door. I've been on the porch going over our date conversation since we got here. She's thinking about going on a date with me. She's been on dates with every fuckin body but still has to think about it with me. I can't figure what the fuck I'm doing wrong. She seems like she's happy with me. "Yeah. Just standing here thinking about that." "Heard you've moved back home." Fuck I don't need another fuckin lecture right now. "Yeah, I needed to get my fuckin life back together." "That's good brother." He puts his hand on my shoulder. I finally look at him. "Nothing wrong with living on the edge after what you went through. I'm glad you're reeling yourself back in though. I fuckin hate that intervention shit Rob comes to me with." He smiles at me. Fuckin Pres. "It was Rob that made me realize I needed to get my head out of my ass." I shake my head with a smile. I see no judgment in his eyes. "We've been working on being friends again. I needed time to get back to me and she needs the time to decide if she still wants me." Fuck this isn't something I want to talk about. I look back at the water. "Sounds like you're working together to make it right." I can hear the smile in his voice. "She has a date with Len from her work tonight." "Fuck brother. I know that's got to hurt but look at it from her side. While you were playing everything with a pussy she never sampled to know what she really wants. Len is a good test. He's a good man, but if your girl loves you, it won't matter." He's so fuckin smart but I really don't want to hear about how good of a man fuckin Len is. "I know you're right and I know this is no less than I deserve. Doesn't make it any easier." "Come to the club tonight. Steve put together a poker game and I got a couple of jobs for you." He slaps my back and goes back in the house. Another indication I'm not really welcome by VP. My brother in law put together another fuckin game but didn't give me an invite, again. I take deep breaths and try to clear my head. Poker will keep me busy, might as well go. I haven't been at the club much
