“I seriously don’t know how we are friends. If you don’t read Harry Potter in the next year, I’m best friend divorcing you.”
“Hardy har har. All I’m saying is, don’t get worked up about the future like you usually do. Chill out. Have fun. Enjoy yourself. You’re young, beautiful, and my bestest friend in the whole wide world, and you deserve to be happy. Just forget the past and focus on those sexy abs and gorgeous eyes.” She looks up as if she’s imagining him in her head. “Actually, I’m glad Travis helped clear out those cobwebs.”
“Whose side are you on anyway? I have plenty of sex.” I really don’t, and she knows it. All she can do is laugh, and I start laughing too.
Courtney is right. I should focus on the now, even if I can’t stop thinking about last night. At the thought, I remember Travis sent another text message. As we pull into the driveway, I unlock my phone and open it.
Travis: I know you’re probably super busy thinking of me and all, but I need a huge favor.
I roll my eyes before responding.
Viola: Define huge…
Knowing I'm playing with fire, I press send anyway.
Travis: Any chance you’d pick me up from my office?
I furrow my brows, curious.
Viola: Why? One of your mistress’s husbands find you out and steal your precious wheels?
I snicker as I hit send again.
He responds almost immediately.
Travis: Not quite.
I sigh.
Viola: Fine. Be there in 15.
Travis: Thanks, and just for the record, I don't fuck married women either.
I groan inwardly to myself.
Viola: Just the ones with STDs and daddy issues.
I don't even think twice before hitting send.
Travis: Are you trying to tell me something? Should I be worried about the herp now?
I clench my jaw.
Viola: Fuck off, Travis!
Travis: See you soon, V! :)
I lock my phone and slam it into my lap.
“Dang. You two must've hate-banged the shit out of each other if there's that much intensity.” Courtney glances over at me with a smile.
I give her a side-glance evil eye. “He needs a ride.”
“Ibethe does.” She chuckles, wagging her eyebrows at me.
“Does everything have to be a sexual innuendo with you?”
“Obviously you haven't been around me long enough.” She grins as she makes a U-turn and heads downtown to where he works.
