I just couldn’t help it. Yes, I liked stirring up shit.
So what?
It was fucking fun.
Yeah, I liked to dish it out, but I could take it, too. I mean, if anyone ribbed me about Courteney… Well, Trey ribbed me about Courteney.
And I didn’t take that so fucking well.
Huh.
I looked around at all these people… sipping cocktails and chatting like grownups… And I wondered, all fucking kidding aside, what the hell I was doing. They were all having kids… and I was fucking a kid?
She’s not a kid. She’s an adult.
I knew that. Courteney Clarke was old enough to make her own decisions. Her own mistakes.
Old enough to fuck me.
Old enough to dump my ass, too.
Old enough to shut me out and never speak to me again, start fucking someone else, if she wanted to.
I sucked back a couple more gin martinis, dwelling on that thought. Barely listening to the conversations going on all around me.
Maybe I just wanted to keep pretending she was a kid so it gave me an excuse to try to stay away from her?
Because I wasn’t gonna stay away from her, was I?
Nope.
I couldn’t stand to let someone else have her. No matter what a fucking brat she acted like.
I was really fucking irritated about it. Like what was that tantrum all about at the hotel? She stormed out on me because I didn’tcareabout her?
Who the fuck was she to accuse me of that? After all the years I’d known her? After everything I’d done to look out for her, and for her brother?
She thought I didn’tcare?
And what did she want me to do, seriously? Get down on one knee and propose? Profess my undying love?
After one hot night in the sack?
Yeah, so, the sex was incredible.
Yeah, I wanted to have sex with her again.
And yeah, I cared about her.
So what?
How did that automatically mean we were a fucking item or something? Going fucking steady?
Did she want a ring now? My balls in a jar on her nightstand?
And on what fucking planet did deflowering a girl mean we had to loop her brother into the situation?
Hey, bro. Wanted to let you know I fucked your little sister last night. Aaand this morning. By the way, she was a virgin, but don’t worry, I was gentle. Mostly. Turns out she’s a real fucking animal in the sack though, so I’m thinking I might hit that again.
