π§ Blame It On The Pain FORTY THREE:
(Jackson)
βI love you, sugarplum.β
Ricardo and I exchange a glance.
βI promise I’ll call you later, sugarplum,β Tyrone continues. βI’ve missed you so much. I can’t wait to see you, sugarplum.β
βSo help me god, if he says sugarplum one more time,β Ricardo says under his breath.
I pinch the bridge of my nose and lean forward. I don’t know how much more of this sugarplum sht I can take.
I’m about ready to hand over my balls just so he can feel what it’s like to have a pair again.
Is this what I would have turned into if things hadn’t gone sour with Alyssa?
Nope. Not going there.
Five more sugarplum’s and three βI love you’s’ later, Tyrone finally gets off the phone.
He turns around and makes a face at Ricardo and I. He’s been doing that a lot lately.
Ricardo and I exchange another glance because we both know what’s coming, and neither of us are up for it.
βGuys,β he starts. βY’all could be just as happy as I am if you would both stop being so stubborn.β
I grunt and Ricardo reaches for his beer.
He points to Ricardo first. βYou going out and sΒ’rewing anything in a skirt night after night isn’t helping you.
You need to walk down the hall and talk to Lou-Lou. I don’t care what you say, manβ¦she meant more to you than you’re letting on.β
His eyes swivel to me. βAnd you. You haven’t been the same since that night you went to Alyssa’s house.β
My entire body stiffens at the sound of her name.
βYou’ve changed, Jackson. You’re always in a bad mood these days. All you do is work out and go to the fi ght club.β
I shrug. βThat’s always what I’ve done, Tyrone.β
He tsks at me. βNo. You’re different. Even angrier. Like the entire world is your own personal fi ghting cage now.β
He rubs the back of his neck. βI don’t think you gave her the benefit of the doubt. I don’t understand why you don’t just call her up and letββ
βEnough,β I warn.
There’s absolutely no reason to call her. Why? So she can just lie to me about Ford again. Make me start falling for her and turn myself inside out.
Been there done that.
I rub my templesβ¦trying to push my other thoughts away.
Thoughts likeβWhat if there is more to the story? What if she’s truly sorry for what she did?
Or worst of all? What if I let myself forgive her? Then I’ll be right back where I started.
Having no choice but to lie to her about working at DeLuca’s club and my reason for working there in the first place.
And when she finds out, she’ll leave me anyway and it will hurt worse.
No, I’d much rather let my anger and venom for her stew. Let it turn me into a cold, heartless ba$tard.
He blows out a breath and looks at the both of us. βI’m tired of this, y’all. So, here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re going to talk about it.β
I rub my hands over my face. I’ve had enough of this sht. βOh for fks sake!β I roar.
Tyrone stops talking and Ricardo laughs.
Tyrone claps his hands. βOkay, this is progress. Let it out. Jackson, why don’t you start first. How did it make you feel when Alyssa hurt you?β
I look at Ricardo and he smirks. βYou gonna answer that?β
I get up from the couch. βFk no. Let’s grab a drink.β I look at Tyrone. βFeel free to stay back and watch some more Doctor Phil.β
βAnd bake some cookies while you’re at it, sugarplum,β Ricardo adds.
Tyrone gives us the finger. βFk you both. I was only trying to help.β
I toss him his jacket. βIf you wanna help you can buy us a round at the bar.β
Ricardo looks at his phone. βYou guys down to try a new spot? It’s kind of a hole in the wall, but rumor has it the bartender is easy on the eyes.β
I open the front door. βFine, but I’m not looking for girls. I’m just looking to drink.β
