Trix
I FEEL bad that I haven’t spent much time with Addy since we’ve been here. Besides the few times when we’ve been in the common room, I’ve pretty much left her to hang out with Brew. I know all of this has been hard on her, but she knows the way I feel about Boz, so I know that she will understand. That doesn’t change the fact that I feel like a shitty best friend. Since Boz is gone, now would be a great time to go look for her and have some much-needed girl time.
I take a quick shower and head down to the room we were sharing. Since me and Boz have started sleeping together, I haven’t been staying there. I’ve been spending my nights with him. It has been absolutely wonderful; I really like falling asleep with him holding me. It’s something that I could get used to.
As I get to the door, I don’t even consider knocking. Hell, no one else in this place would. As I open the door and take a step inside, I kinda wish that I would’ve knocked. Standing in the middle of the room in a wild and hot-looking kiss is none other than Addy and Brew. He has one hand in her hair and one on her ass, and she has one of her hands gripping his arm and the other in his hair. They are so into each other they didn’t even hear the door open.
“Whoa! My bad!” I say as I turn to walk back out. The last thing I want to do is interrupt, especially since she seems to be enjoying herself.
“Trix, wait! Don’t go,” Addy says to me as she comes over and pulls me back into the room. As we turn and come back inside, she continues, “Brew was just leaving.”
Brew looks back and forth between me and Adyson, and asks, “I was? When did I say anything about that?”
She walks up to him, grabs his arm and starts trying to pull him toward the door, saying, “Well you may not have said it, but that’s what is happening.”
Brew kinda chuckles and says, “All right, Red. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. I’m going. I need to go take care of some shit with Boz anyway.” He leans down, gives her a kiss on the forehead, and walks toward the door. As he gets to it, he turns to Addy and says, “Don’t go anywhere until I come back for you. Don’t need your ass getting into any kind of trouble while I’m gone.” He gives her a little grin and shuts the door as he walks out.
I grab her arm to get her attention and ask her, “What the hell was all that?” She kinda gives a little shrug of her shoulders, giggles and says, “I have no fucking idea. But I liked it!” She gives a small shake of her head, walks over, and flops down on the bed. “I don’t know what the hell is going on, Trix. He seems like such a nice guy, at least toward me, but who knows. You can’t ever tell with men. Just because they seem nice doesn’t mean they won’t turn into total dicks.”
I walk over and lie down beside her. I lay my head on her shoulder and say, “You ain’t telling me something I don’t already know, Addy. My past relationships are proof of that. All men can be dicks, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good men. I think they just ain’t smart enough to know how to act, to not piss women off.”
She starts laughing and says, “Ain’t that the truth. Speaking of men, how’s it been going with lover boy? From what I can tell, it seems to be going pretty good.”
I let out a deep breath and think about my answer for a minute before saying, “It seems to be going pretty good to me, too. I don’t know, Addy, I honestly don’t. I’m not sure if it is because I’ve wanted him for so long, or what has made me like him so much. All I know is that it is wonderful. He makes me feel really good, not just in bed but all the time. Although, sex with Boz is beyond amazing, it’s so much more than that.”
Addy is silent for a couple minutes before she finally replies, “That’s great, Trix. I’m really happy for you. You already know that all I want is for you to be happy, and if Boz is the one that can give you that, you have my total support.”
We just lie there for a few minutes, neither of us saying anything, both lost in thought about the confusing things going on in our lives, before I finally say, “Thanks, Addy. That means a lot. I knew there was a reason why I picked you for a best friend. We understand each other and only want the best for one another. I always know that you’ve got my back, but that’s enough sappy shit for one day. Hell, that was enough for a few months. Let’s go raid the kitchen and find a movie or something to watch on TV until Boz and Brew get back.”
“I don’t know, Trix. You heard Brew. He’ll have a shit fit if he comes back and I’m not here,” Addy says as she sits up on the bed.
I sit up also and tell her, “It’s okay, Addy. It’s not like we’ll be by ourselves. There are plenty of brothers here. Plus, we have Grim. He’s probably outside. I’m sure Boz wouldn’t leave me here without leaving my other protector. I’ll get him, and then neither Boz nor Brew will have anything to bitch about.”
It only takes her a couple of seconds before she says, “To hell with it. It’s not my problem if Brew does or doesn’t like something I do, and I’m hungry. Let’s go.”
