Jensen Fields Jr.

Not to be a dick, but maybe he shouldn’t have kissed her so openly then. Or, million dollar thought, maybe he doesn’t care and you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

Austin Cooper

You’re always a dick, Jensen.

Jensen Fields Jr.

You wouldn’t like me if I was nice.

Austin Cooper

I’d like you more than I like you now.

Gareth Fox

Do you possess that quality?

Jensen Fields Jr.

You like me plenty, it’s why you try to pick fights with me like we’re an old married couple.

Austin Cooper

You’d be so lucky to have me as a husband.

Jensen Fields Jr.

Who said you’d be the husband?

Gareth Fox

Stop acting like teenagers.

Gareth Fox

Your boss is in this chat, or have you forgotten?

Austin Cooper

Is Coach technically our boss?

Gareth Fox

YES.

“Oh, God,” I groan, pinching the bridge of my nose as I toss my phone into the passenger seat.

It’s been a long fucking day and these three are grating on my nerves. Everything is grating on my nerves actually, including a certain mother of my child, if you can even call her a mother.

Addison’s called three more times over the course of the last five days, and ironically, when I finally have the energy to deal with her, she doesn’t answer the phone. This is the most she has ever called in a short span, and it’s really fucking irritating me. I’m not naive enough to believe she wants to speak to Sailor.

No, she probably saw those damn videos online.

Sitting in my driveway, I let the air conditioner run, taking a few minutes to myself and listening to an old AC/DC song. The cool air blows in my face, calming my nerves a bit.

It’s a start, anyway. It’s been less than a week since we’ve been back in town after the game against the Rebels, and so much has changed. Not only with our relationship, but my outlook on life.
