I shouldn’t have enjoyed sharing nachos with him as much as I did. I want to not like this guy. Right? But even knowing he was just with two other women, even if it went worse than the day we met, hasn’t managed to deter me from wanting to be around him. It hasn’t stopped me from wanting him. And mother issues aside, he’s freaking adorable. His whole face lit up when he talked about his close family and showed me the pictures. Shit, you’d think the kids in the photographs were his on how he beamed as he told me their names. He is close to his sister and cousins. I love my family, but I don’t think I look that happy when I talk about them. I didn’t learn how Makayla is related, but I will assume it’s on his mother’s side. Given his reluctance to talk about them, I guess he doesn’t have the best relationship with that side of his family. He said Frost, that name sounds very familiar, but I’m not sure from where. I’m sure I’ll remember it if it’s important. “Come on. My building is thi

There have only been a few moments I’ve feared for my life or someone else’s. And riding in that ambulance with Clay has made the top three. I’m unsure if it gets to kick my experience of getting mugged on the subway from the number one spot. But it is certainly in contention against the time my brother fell off the roof our first winter in Jersey and had to go to the hospital with a broken leg. I say he fell, but the idiot jumped, thinking there was enough snow piled up to cushion his fall. But whatever is wrong with Clay, it’s not his own doing. I answered the EMTs’ questions the best I could as they checked his vitals and got him onto a gurney. I told them he had seemed perfectly fine till he suddenly wasn’t. That we’d been at a bar where we each had four shots of tequila and shared chicken nachos and that earlier he’d had sushi. I didn’t go into details about the sushi since I wasn’t there, and he only told me he had sushi. I did mention he took a table to the nuts and gut when o

The universe seriously hates me. Things went wrong with Missy and Sheila, and then I ran into Xenia. Xenia even invited me back to her place. More than once, my vision was blurry between the bar and her apartment door, and I felt unbalanced. I’m damn lucky I didn’t drop her when we were making out in the elevator. God bless small elevators. I could cover up my stumble by pressing her against the walls. I don’t know what was happening to make me feel like this. I know I’m not drunk. I’m pushing thirty. Trust me. I’ve drunk enough to know how much of what gets me there. And three shots of tequila aren’t it, especially when I had food in my stomach. Sure, if I hadn’t eaten and done tequila shots, three might have gotten me tipsy, and four would have put me on the floor. But of course, the universe can’t just give me a mulligan. This was my chance to show Xenia I’m not a total wreck and capable of showing her a good time. And just as things were going the way I wanted, it went to shit. I

This is ridiculous. I called 9-1-1 and rode in the ambulance with Clay, but now I’m sitting in an interview room at a police station with this dumbass cop who keeps asking me the same questions as somehow my narrative of tonight's events would change. Because I didn’t feel shitty enough that Clay was possibly drugged on my watch and that he blacked out while eating my pussy. Now I’ve got his cunt mother thinking I’m the one that drugged her son and this cabrón of the same mind as her. “How many times do I have to repeat myself?” I sighed, rolling my eyes. “Until I feel I have the whole story.” The officer shrugged. “You do have the full story! At least the full story from what I could tell you.” I sighed. “I did not drug Clay,” I repeated for what felt like the hundredth time. “Well, you aren’t giving us any….” The cop narrowed his eyes as the door to the interview room swung open, cutting him off. I arched my eyebrow as I saw an African American woman in one killer bold yellow p

I detest hospitals. They are up there with spiders on my do not like list. Hospitals make me think of death and the memory of visiting vózinho Thiago when he had that heart attack during his last visit to NYC. He wasn’t a larger-than-life-size man like dedushka Ares, but he was to a kid like me. I still didn’t think there would come a day he wasn’t around. I remember being fifteen and coming to the hospital with the rest of my family and seeing him in that bed hooked up to all those machines looking so frail. After he died, I couldn’t stand even looking at a hospital. I didn’t even visit Reese in the hospital when she had the babies. I waited till they were home to meet my niece and nephew. I love my sister, but I couldn’t cross the threshold. I’d gone to the hospital full of intentions to meet the babies but couldn’t. Everyone had finally left my room. But now my mind didn’t have the distractions from all the sounds and smells of a hospital. And now I’m in a hospital. I suppose I s

I don’t know how long I’d been asleep, but I know it was not long enough to deal with any bullshit. So when someone came into the bedroom, I freaked. It had been a long day before my creepy neighbor tried to drug me and instead drugged the guy I was hoping to fuck. So it’s been a double-long ass day. I’m in a strange place, and someone just entered what I was told would be a secure apartment. So I did the only logical thing. I reached for the nearest weapon I could find, in this case, an alarm clock, when I heard someone getting closer to the bed. And as soon as they were close enough and pulled the blanket off me, I yelled and lobbed it at them. I figured I’d pay Clay or Makayla back to replace the clock. I just hadn’t expected the intruder to be the rightful occupant of the bed. What was Clay doing here? He’s supposed to be in the hospital overnight for observation. And holy shit, why is he naked? There should be a law about him being naked. It’s unfair for anyone to look that hot

I’d been happy to see Tinkerbell when I had returned from a walk with Makayla. But they didn’t stay, and I knew it was Clay’s fault. That stupid human was ruining this, not just for me but for himself. How can he not realize that Xenia is the perfect match for him? I realized that in moments but it’s been days since she ran off, and now that she’s returned, he managed to offend her, and I fear she may never return. “Why are you in the dumps?” Makayla asked, stretching between my ears. Typically I’d like this and roll to get belly rubs too, but I’m not in the mood. So I huffed and moved further down the sofa so Makayla couldn’t touch me. I know it’s not her fault that Tinkerbell left, but it is her fault they went the other day. If she’d not walked in and made a fuss, Xenia wouldn’t have gotten the wrong impression and stayed; therefore, Tinkerbell would have stayed too. “Oh, come on. I know you’re upset about your not-so-little girlfriend. But don’t take it out on me. I don’t contro
Man's Best Wingman Chapter 22 - Clay
I don’t know if I fell asleep so quickly and soundly because I finally got laid after months of a dry spell, if it was Xenia in bed with me, or just general exhaustion because I was drugged. Maybe a combination of all of the above. Either way, I have slept this soundly in a long time. I’ve also not slept with a woman in years, like sleeping in bed with a woman. Don’t look at me like that. It’s not a big secret that I don’t do commitments. I’m a one-night stand kind of man. And part of that means either the woman or I leave after sex. Yet Xenia didn’t leave, and I had no intention of telling her to either. And I wasn’t going to ask her to sleep elsewhere just because her going home wasn’t an option due to jackass Trevor. The last woman I shared a bed with beyond sex was the one I don’t talk about, even with Reese. Yes, I have kept my secret for ten years from my twin sister. And no, I’m not telling you about it. I’m allowed secrets damn it. Even if Reese and I generally don’t keep th
