“Whoa, hey Bright” He said with a smile and I calmed slightly.
“Hey Sully. Small world right?” I asked and fell into his welcoming hug.
“What’s up girl? Why you here?”
Now he seemed uncomfortable and confused and it only confused me more. It was like suddenly they treated me like a stalker. They looked at me with trepidation, like I had intent. For what I don't know.
“I was hired yesterday to sponsor Noah.” I look to Carrie and Tayla for reassurance, which they weren’t giving me. “Should I not have said his name? I assumed if Sully was here he was a friend or part of the band.” Hell, I kept making this worse. Every word I said seemed to make them more uncomfortable.
“So youhavemet Noah?” Carrie asks with barely masked disdain.
“What? No.” I shake my head and look to Sam, the only face that I feel comfort from and I barely know him. I am scared and have no idea what is going on or what I said to upset them so much.
“Ladies- " Sam..er Sully whatever intervened in my panic at this situation and caught our attention. “She ain't a fangirl. She never met Noah Becket. She met Jer.” He looked at them, pointedly. “My partner…Jer.”
A light bulb went off on both Carrie and Tayla who seemed overwhelmed by the relief.
“Sully can you get Noah so we can introduce them without all the gang?” Tayla asked and he laughed to himself throwing anabsolutelyover his shoulder.
“Did I do something to upset you both?” I ask but before they can answer I turn to meet Noah who is as shocked as I am.
Noah
“Noah?” I hear Sully call my name from the front door.
“Yeah?” I yell from the kitchen where I have both Noelle and Axe on my lap as I sing the finger family song using olives on the tips of my fingers.
“Tay needs you, and bro you really gotta come see this to believe it.” He is in the doorway of the kitchen now, a glimpse of pure happiness in his eyes.
I look at him questioningly as I set my niece and nephew at the table with Jen. “What bro?” I ask as I follow him to the front door.
“Remember that hot California girl in the shop yesterday?”
“Fuck dude how could I forget?”
“Exactly.” He says and pushes my back so I stumble out the front door, stopping smack dab in front of Bright.
“What the fuck?” I ask and cringe back. Obviously we have a stage five. I assumed she had no clue who I was but it’s obvious she knew damn well and now came to pay me a visit. “Bright? Right?”
“Jer?” She asks and looks to Tay and Carrie completely confused. So confused in fact she couldn’t fake it if she had tried.
“Uh yeah. What’s up sweetheart?” Okay so I am a guy and when faced with the option to fuck I play that card. Besides the sexiest chick I have ever seen in my life is back in front of me. Fuck just her voice made me hard. I had to save a homeless guy or something because the Gods just shined in my favor and karma fucks better than a whore so I needed to pay this good luck forward. “How’d you find me baby?” I am reminded of our days as a garage band in Gig and the pile of pussy we made our way through was steep and deep with stalkers. Hell, it had been a long time since I had a crazy fuck session so I was game if Bright was.
I know what you’re thinking and fuck off. I am a guy. Broken hearted or not doesn’t matter I have a demanding dick and it wants Bright.
“I am so confused right now. I came to meet Noah and found out Sam is part of the band, and what? You are too? I am seriously waiting for Raleigh to jump out from behind a tree and yell gotcha just so he could post this shit onYouTubein an hour.” That last part she said under her breath and I had to laugh until I thought Raleigh might be a dude and that shit ain't funny when I am looking to nail her to my bed for a week of straight fucking.
“Now I’m confused. Who the fuck is Raleigh?” I say and look around waiting on the dude to actually pop out of the bushes because this is too fucking strange.
She shakes her head. “My best friend.” She looks to Tayla. “I think this was a mistake. I feel like I’m the butt of some fucked up joke you’re playing and honestly it’s not my scene. I really truly was looking to help a person in need.”
“Are you telling me that you don’t know who this is?” Tayla asks and points to me. I say nothing because I am just as curious. In that instant it hits me like a freight train.
“The sponsor?” I ask Tay and she nods.
“Ooohmotherfuck.” I say and look up to the sky. Apparently Karma was going to fuck me senseless for three months… not Bright.
“His name is Jer. That is all I know. He works at Paradox Ink and is part owner with Sully. Oh and my tattoo is generic.” She said the last part all snide and hoyty-toyty and looked at me.
