“Probably, but not right now.I think the best thing we can do is get her home so she can get off her feet.Let Felicity get home, too.”
“Good plan.I’ll clean, you push people out the door?”
“Yep,” I agreed, already moving to the first group of stragglers to thank them for coming, as I walked them to the door.
A few hours later,I had my feet up on Christy’s coffee table and a beer in my hand.She was next to me, same position, and Oscar was on the other side of her.We watched movies that made us laugh and let her feel her feelings when they came up.She knew she didn’t have to pretend with us, and the walls finally came down.
Christy dragged herself to bed long after sunset, encouraging Oscar and I to go home.Neither of us moved.
Oscar claimed one couch, and I stretched out on the other.Neither of us wanted to sleep in Coach’s room, and the house only had two bedrooms.We’d spent more nights on those couches than I could count, and one more wouldn’t hurt.
Before I fell asleep, I sent a quick text to Reegan, thanking her for coming to the funeral and asking when she was free for dinner with Evie.Evie was staying with me over the weekend.
Reegan
How’s Christy?
She’ll be okay.Oscar and I are staying the night with her.If I don’t bring you coffee, that’s why.Sorry.I should have told you.
You have more important things on your mind.I would never want to stand between you and your friends.And I can do dinner Friday or Saturday.Whichever day works better for you and Evie.
Let’s plan for Friday then.Ashlyn is welcome to join us, too.If she’s interested.
I’ll ask her.She’s already in bed.
Are you?
Yeah but I wasn’t sleeping.
What were you doing?
Reading a book.
What are you wearing?
Are you seriously trying to sext me when you’re spending the night with your grieving friend?
She’s already asleep.
You’re too much.And I’m wearing the same thing you see me in most mornings.
My cock twitched.She was playing along.I couldn’t do anything about it with Oscar ten feet away, but it made me smile.
Your shorts drive me crazy.So do your tiny tank tops.Especially the ones where I can see your nipples through the fabric.
I like when you wear a sleeveless shirt.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.I’m a sucker for strong arms.Yours are sexy.
I’ll have to remember that.Are you getting wet thinking about my arms?
I was wet the second your name showed up on my screen.
Damn, I wish I was there.I wish I could get my lips on you.
So do I.
