There will be no new chapters on Friday, July 8th, and Monday, July 11th. I will be on vacation from Thursday, July 7th thru Monday, July 11th with my family. New chapters will return Wednesday, July 13th, and be back on track for the regular posting schedule. As a reminder for Out Of My League, my posting schedule for new chapters is Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I was on cloud nine. I didn’t feel this happy when I was dating Jennifer, and I was going to marry that whore. Things feel different. Things feel better with Reese, even if it’s too early to say something like that. But the spark between us isn’t something that can be ignored. Other than her mother being a mega bitch I can’t find a single fault in Reese. Not that Reese can be held responsible for the reprehensible cunt her mother is. Speaking of reprehensible family, I groaned seeing my brother Jordan’s name on my caller id. I have no reason to answer his call. I know it sounds petty as it was a decade ago, but the fact remains that asshole fucked my bride on our wedding day in the synagogue and NEVER apologized. He never took ownership of his actions. He just acted like he was the innocent party and that I was the one who hurt him. I swiped the decline sending him straight to voicemail. Just seeing his name has started to put a damper on my good mood. I pushed my annoyance vergi
“No, he went downstairs in a huff and is being force-fed chocolates by little Immanuel to cheer his dad up. What happened? Did you get into a fight?” Elaine questioned as I heard my parents’ upstairs guest bathroom door squeak. I’ve told them a million times to oil those hinges.“Well, he can keep sulking. He was being rude to Donald and even stole my phone to call him since he didn’t answer for him or your husband.” Connie explained.“You’re talking to Donald? Can I talk to him?” Elaine sounded strangely excited at the prospect.I’ve never met her or talked to her. She and Jordan only married a little over a year ago and had their son a couple of months ago. I’ve only met Leah because she was with Caleb before I moved. And of my nieces and nephews, I’ve only met my oldest niece Donna as she was once when I moved. I’ve only seen the rest in pictures and talked to on the phone during holidays when mom would put them on to greet me.“Oh sure…” Connie agreed, handing the phone off. I’m no
“Elaine? Where are you going?” Connie called out, and I realized Elaine was taking the phone elsewhere.“JORDAN CHRISTOPHER HUNTER! YOU GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!”Elaine shouted. I can imagine the scene she’s creating in my parents’ living room with all eyes turning to her.“Elaine? What’s wrong? Are you okay?” I faintly heard Jordan questioning.“I have Donald on the phone. And I now understand why I have never met him, why he hasn’t been home in ten years.” Elaine huffed.“That was a long time ago. It’s on Don for being unwilling to forget and move on.” Jordan sighed.I clenched my jaw because he made it sound like this was all on me. Am I petty for holding a grudge this long? Sure. But what he did is unforgivable, especially when he’s never apologized. “Forget?! Move on!” Elaine scoffed. Ela, please take the children to another room. I don’t wish for innocent ears to hear any of this.” Elaine’s voice became sweet as sugar as she politely ordered my mother around.“Elaine, d
I’d been trying to think of the best way to broach asking Don to the Frost holiday party. Sure showing up with him would piss my mother off and make the point that she can’t control my life. But it feels like a big ask for someone I’ve just started seeing. Which am I seeing him? I mean, we see each other. What I’m questioning is, what are we? Is this casually dating with sex? Or are we officially dating? We’ve had sex more times than we’ve gone out. If we are just casual, would it be appropriate to invite him to the party? If we are dating, would it be too soon and too much to bring him around my family? He’s only been exposed to Darius, Elijah, and Forrest for a basis of what a Frost is like. He’s met my mother too. But one out of four would make her seem like the exception rather than the rule. It could be deemed cruel and unusual punishment to bring a new boyfriend to the Frost holiday party. I’m half Frost and don’t even want to go. My cousins are lucky they can use the kids as
So Reese probably has a point. I don’t want her to think that our relationship is strictly physical. I don’t want to see a day come when we are in the same room, and I don’t feel the urge to touch her. But just because I have that urge doesn’t mean I always need to act on it. As I returned to the sitting room after tossing the condom, I remembered why we were even in the sitting room. Beyond eating the food, I smiled as I walked in to see Reese putting caviar on a latke. I folded my arms, watching her take a bite and the way she did a little happy dance. Absolutely adorable. “I see you like latke with caviar.” I teased, leaning over to dip an everything bagel chip into the whitefish dip. “It was good. Initially, I wasn’t sure, but I can see why your mom would like it.” Reese blushed at being caught eating. “Sorry, I started without you.” “You don’t need to wait for me to start anything.” I assured her. I’m not sure why but she started to laugh.”Why are you laughing?” I asked, sitti
I’m glad his brothers FINALLY apologized to him. Though Jordan admitted to something far worse in his apology. He didn’t just bang the whore on her wedding day. No, it’s worse. They had been fucking for a month! That’s such trashy behavior. Jordan has a lot of work ahead of him to get complete forgiveness. I don’t know much about Jordan, but unless he’s built like my dad or brother, he’s getting knocked out if I hit him. And how dare he think he could take me or at least take a hit from me. I’ll deal with the youngest Hunter if I ever meet him. Meeting any of them, of course, would require my relationship with Don to become serious. Here I am, thinking of how serious things would need to be for me to meet his family, yet I came here to ask him to attend a party my Frost family hosts. Though I guess it’s different. I’m not asking him to meet my family specifically, as the event isn’t a family-only gathering. When we are serious enough, I’ll ask him to meet dad and mamãe. Meeting my d
It wasn’t until after Reese left my place that I agreed to set in. Bringing her to the party for work isn’t a big deal. People always bring dates to the staff parties, which doesn’t mean they are serious. And it’s just meeting colleagues. So, no real pressure there. What I agreed to comes with pressure. Reese’s mother doesn’t like me and thinks I’m not good enough for her daughter. I don’t care if she’s probably right. I don’t want anyone but Reese deciding that. And while I loathe her mother, I know the kind of pull she has over Reese. Not just as a mother, but Sophia Frost has a say in Reese’s career. We all want to get our parents’ approval at the end of the day. I should know I’m in my forties and am still looking for that approval. And it’s not just Sophia that would be there. Many members of the Frost family, those with control over Reese’s career at the firm, will be there. Not to mention a string of high-power people. It’s going to be a very one-percenter event. This would be
I don’t think I’ve been this nervous about attending a party. Not even when I was in high school. I’m not even sure how formal this is supposed to be. So after staring at my closet for what feels like forever but is more like thirty minutes, I give up and call the one person I think can help… RIKO. “Reese? How have you been? I have heard interesting things from my teacher husband.” Riko’s voice greeted me after the second ring. “Well, if memory serves, Darius would have seen Don at school today. So I can imagine all the gossip being spread around.” I sighed. I chuckled softly, picturing Don and Darius gossiping like old ladies in the teacher’s lounge. The very mental image is too funny for words. “I don’t know how much of it is gossip. Just that Darius found Don studiously reading law and etiquette books wanting not to disappoint when he attends the Frost party. Must be serious if you’re taking him to that.” Riko teased. ”Or it’s not serious, and you are looking for a way out. Beca
