fuck with relationships. I still party into the early morning and like to get my dick wet as much as possible. See, partially grown up.
“Day’s done, Lucas. Go home and shower off the booze you sweated out today.”
“Ha ha, Chris, very funny.”
“You gonna stay in tonight, or can I expect a repeat of today tomorrow?”
I laugh at Chris while clocking out for the day. “Stay in! What the hell does that mean? Its thirsty Thursday, Chris. I plan to do what I do best tonight, drink and make the ladies swoon.” I flash one of my cocky smiles at Chris and am met with an eye roll and a shake of the head.
“Well, little buddy, just make sure you wrap it up and you’re on time in the morning.” Chris says to me as we walk out the office door, heading toward our trucks.
“Aren’t I always, boss man?” He nods at me, jumps in his truck, driving home to his wife and son. He will go home to a hot meal, a woman who loves him, and a son who looks up to him, and I’ll go home to a frozen chicken potpie and a brother who is likely still pissed off at me. I’m okay with that though. After I eat my potpie and deal with my baby brother, I get to go see the redhead who has been on my mind all day.
I drive home thinking of Dani, like I have for most of the day. Trying to concentrate on driving a forklift on and off an eighteen-wheeler is a little difficult when you’re hard as a rock and daydreaming of red cowboy boots.
I’ve been wondering why this girl is still in my head. I fucked Candice last night, and while, yes, she was a good lay as always, I still had Dani on my mind. For every sweet moan that came out of Candice’s mouth, I wondered what Dani’s moans sounded like. When Candice dug her fake nails into my back while I pounded into her, I wondered if Dani was a scratcher. I may have come while I was fucking Candice, but I was thinking of Dani while I did it. Fucked up on every level, yes. But the dick wants what it wants, and mine wants Dani.
I pull into my driveway, throw my truck in park, and readjust my dick, which has gone hard due to thoughts of Dani. I walk into my apartment and see Logan sitting on our couch pulling on his boots. He’s getting ready to head to Ricky’s to see Molly like he does every day. I need to apologize, but I don’t know where to start. I meant what I said to him last night; I think he’s in way too fucking deep with Molly. But I know Molly is a good girl, and I know she cares for my brother, even if she is in a relationship with Brian. Do I understand how Logan and Molly’s relationship works, no, but it’s not my fucking business.
I sit across from Logan and get ready to apologize, but I don’t get the chance.
“Look, Lucas, I’m sorry for the shit I said last night. You’re not like Jack; I know that. I’m just, well, I’m trying to work through some shit with Molly, and I just wasn’t ready to hear what you said last night.” That’s my little brother for ya, apologizing when he doesn’t need to and thinking with his heart instead of his head. I love him for it, even if I do think he’s a little too soft.
“Naw, Logan, you don’t need to apologize to me. I don’t know you and Molly’s situation, and she isn’t a bitch. She’s a good girl. I just think you need to remember that she’s someone else’s girl. I know that’s hard for you to understand, but it’s the truth, brother. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” I’ve been looking out for Logan all of his life, and even though he’s grown, old habits die hard.
“I know, man. Shit just complicated right now. I got it though. Don’t worry.”
We talk for a few more minutes, and I tell him I’ll be by Ricky’s after I shower.
I have to go there anyway; I have a hot redhead that needs bartering lessons.
I walk into Ricky’s and can instantly see Dani struggling. She’s running from one end of the bar to the other looking like a chicken with her head cut off. When she sees me,
