"What about the girls?"
"They are at my dad's. He hasn't had them over for a sleepover in a long time, they were so excited to go."
I grab my drink and down it. Great now these two are going to badger me to tell them what's going on. I know I shouldn't be like this, but I don't like putting my problems on other people. But I know they won't let me off easy. The waitress comes back and takes our new drink orders.
Once the waitress leaves, Anne looks over to me with that worried look on her face. I fucking hate that look, why do people do that. I look around, trying to find an escape. As I look towards the bar, that's when I see him.
Jason drove to the bar after we left that asshole's apartment. I wanted to kill him, or least wipe that fucking smirk off of his face. As soon as we walked into the bar, we sat at two empty stools. We ordered a couple of shots and beers. As soon as the bartender set them down, I downed the shot.
"So what the fuck was that?"
"Shit, I don't know."
"I have never seen you lose your cool, like that."
"I know." I take a long drag of my beer, replaying the scene in my head. I have to get a grip of myself. I don't know what it is about Jaylah, but I can't get her out of my mind. I look as if on que and see her walking through the back door. "Shit," I say under my breath, hoping Jason didn't hear me. But of course he does, and follows my gaze.
"Well speak of the devil and she shows up," he says with a chuckle.
I put my forehead on the bar, "Fuck."
Anne looks at me and follows my gaze. She finally sees who I'm looking at and smiles.
Lynette looks at us both confused, "What?"
I reply, "Nothing." Anne starts shaking her head at me.
"Bullshit! You guys need to start telling me what is going on, because I'm getting pissed!"
I look at each of them and try to look to Anne for support. She shakes her head and crosses her arms over her chest. I sigh, "Fine. See the guy at the end of the bar?"
"Yeah. The really fucking HOT guy at the end of the bar?" Lynette asks.
"Yeah. He is the detective working on my case about Ben." I stop talking and take a drink. I wish that would be end of the story, but not with Lynette. I love her, but she can be such a pain in the ass when it comes to shit like this.
She loves to gossip. She isn't one of those people that runs around telling everybody's secrets. She is a great listener and will give you advice, wether you want it or not.
"Well damn, he is hot. I know you told me he was hot, Anne...but not that fucking hot."
I look over at him, he doesn't look my way. He really is an incredibly good looking man. He is not what I normally would go after. He is a little to GQ for me. He has that well groomed, I haven't shaved look, with short well maintained hair. He wears suits, that he obviously has made. Those beautiful blue eyes, that I swear I could get lost in and full lips I want all over me.
"Earth to Jaylah," Anne says.
"What?" I was obviously very lost in my own thoughts. I see them both shaking their heads and laughing.
"I asked you what was going on with Ben. And don't try to tell me nothing, I see you everyday and I know something is going on. We are worried about you."
I sigh. I know I can't keep telling them, nothing. So I give in and decide to tell them the mild version of what is going on.
"I need a cigarette." I say to Jason.
He nods, and we head out the front door.
As soon as I step outside, I light my cigarette and take a long drag from it. I need to clear my head from all that is going on. I'm having feelings for Jaylah and I'm not sure how to react to them. She is not what I'm usually attracted to, she has a wild look to her and I love that about her. I've always dated woman that were the perfect girl next door. Maybe that's what my problem has been all of these years.
"Damn man, you are really lost in your thoughts." Jason says breaking me from my thoughts.
I look over to him and nod my head. "I know, sorry.
"What about the girls?"
