back
with their food, while Chloe and I went to sit near the drafting tables.
She kicked off her platform sandals and sat crossed legged on the floor,
digging into her lo mein. I grabbed my food, and sat beside her.
“How do you work in those things?” I asked, pointing to
her high as hell platforms. She grinned.
“I have been wearing shoes like that since I can
remember. It’s a piece of cake!” she chirped.
“Today was crazy huh?” I remarked. She nodded. She
swallowed her mouthful of noodles and looked over at the guys who were huddled
around a couch that they had put near the stations. They were laughing and
talking quietly.
“A meeting of the minds over there,” she remarked and we
both laughed. The guys looked up at us for a moment and then went back to
eating.
“I heard from a little birdie that Jack is working on a
tattoo for you tonight,” she said sweetly. I raised an eyebrow.
“A little birdie huh?” She nodded.
“Bleu this place is like high school wrapped in a small
town. The guys are big mouths, they can’t keep a secret to save their asses,”
she said.
“Yeah he is. After the shop closes,” I admitted.
“Well that’s convenient though, seeing as how you will be
living with us,” she said. I choked on lo mein.
“Uh what???” I exclaimed. She laughed again, putting her
carton of lo mein down beside her. She wiped her hands on the paper towel in
her lap.
“I know things are like a circus for you right now. So I
have been thinking, let me take some of the pressure off of your back. Move in
with us,” she said, patting my shoulder and then drawing me in for a hug.
“Who is this us you are referring to?”
“Jack and I. He was planning on moving in with me
anyways. I have too much room and honestly I cannot afford all of it by
myself,” she stated matter of fact.
“Yeah Jack mentioned that Matt was moving in above the
shop. I did not think Jack and I were a package deal,” I said with a laugh.
“Yeah Matt staying with me was only temporary. He is a
pretty private guy and I am too nosey for his liking. Though he would never say
it to my face,” she replied with a laugh.
“Well now how can I say no to my favorite naughty fairy?”
I asked. She laughed.
“When is Jack moving in?” I asked.
“Tomorrow.”
“Oh wow! Talk about needing an answer sooner rather than
later! I don’t see it as being a problem, besides the majority of my stuff is
at Jack’s, uh, Matt’s place anyways,” I said with a shrug.
“Is that a yes?” she asked. I nodded. She hugged me and I
almost dropped all of my lo mein.
“Remind me to give you a key later. I am so excited!!!!”
she then planted a kiss on my cheek. I laughed loudly.
“Dude, are they making out over there?” asked Matt .Chloe
stuck her tongue out at them. I frowned playfully.
“You guys are retarded,” she said. They all grinned like
a bunch of jackals and then went back to their food. We finished eating lunch
and got back to work.
With the shop being so busy, Jack and I did not have a
chance to talk, except for me to tell him that his appointments were here. I
hadn’t planned on have the “talk” at the shop anyway, but I will admit that I
was anxious to get it over and done with. It was hard to go with the flow and
mellow out when I was anticipating the conversation that had to take place
later on. At around seven, I checked out and climbed into my car.
Abby lived in a small
subdivision at the edge of town. Her house was cute really. It’s gray with blue
shutters and I think it has three bedrooms. Lamar, her husband, was standing on
the front porch in jeans and a green polo shirt, smoking a cigarette. He waved
as I pulled in.
“Hey there Bleu, what’s going on?” he asked. I gave him a
hug.
“Abby recruited me to help with Blake,” I replied.
“Oh thank God. He was driving us nuts. Abby had him on
internet lock down these past couple of weeks. He DVR’s weird stuff on the TV
and
