Then I sat in oddamn stalker and waited No ‘Stewart frohts went out, and her house went dark and silent

I’ excuses to pushso far away that I’m not sure anyone will be able to catch her this tih some heavy shit Izzy and Axel have finally worked out their issues The boys and I have a running bet on how long it’s going to take for those two to either get hitched or knocked up I know she is happy for her friend; she genuinely looks happy when she’s around Izzy, so whatever her issues are, they have nothing to do with jealousy

With their reconciliation, Izzy moved out of the condo she shared with Dee I could tell Dee’s heart was breaking when she helped her best friend pack up her life and move in with Ax No one else noticed because she kept the s But I knew I saw it the second I walked in the door and all I could think about was taking her inher hurt The worst part was the fear in her eyes when everyone went to leave I could feel the terror rolling off of her, but she just s down at thetogether, I throw the screwdriver against the wall and stand up froe floor Note to self, no home improvement projects when I’m pissed off

"Goddammit!" With a kick that would make David Beckha fro pile

"What’s that wood done to you?"

My head shoots up, and I watch as Coop walks into the garage and picks up a piece of wood before laughing softly and dropping it back into the ruined reht it would" Ha How true is that?

"You talking about the little Tim the Tool Man project or Dee?"

"That transparent, huh?" I huff, and walk over to the fridge I’ve got set up outside and grab two beers

"Yeah, Beck Not sure why you even waste your tiht" He lifts up his drink, giving a toast to the fact that he’s a co for the next outbreak of crabs"

He laughs aardly before adjusting his crotch Disgusting If I didn’t kno anal he is about getting checked, I ht be concerned that he is really worried

"Funny You need to wake up out of this funk you’ve been in What happened to the guy that couldn’t wait to get to a nen and start fresh? Hell, you didn’t even really date back in Cali" He shakes his head and laughs "No pussy is worth this much work"

"Da"

He doesn’t even flinch at er

"Nope No way in hell I’m a douche because I don’t want my nuts tied down"

"Yeah, you pretty et chicks in the first place, but I promise you this, you’re the last person I would take relationship advice fro up the results ofabout it all wrong, Brother I’’ special advice You need tohard to get You know… Working the power of the pussy She thinks she has you wrapped around her little finger Make her see you aren’t her bitch"

"Did you just refer to yourself as the Cooter King? Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with you?"

He just shrugs his shoulders I shakeup As ridiculous as it is to take advice froive him some credit He makes a little sense

He finishes his beer before letting hi ht

I keep cleaning up and continue thinking about what he just spewed out Nor his nore hi hard to get?

My whole body feels the charge of deterht be full of shit most of the ti and chasing She hasn’t even seen me look at another woman Hell, I’m not even interested in another woman

I can see it in her eyes e’re in the same room She wants this just as badly as I do

After Coop finished pri like a damn woman, we headed off to Heavy’s to y drinks all day The anticipation ofhaywire

My body craves her And ever since she’s cutin hell on earth

Coop laughs when he sees ain, to see if she texted es earlier today were more of the same

Dee: Needed to take care of so work as an excuse again?
