They start unloading food and booze like they’re staying for a week.
I know better than that. They have to be back in the city tomorrow to catch a train to New York for a game two days from now. It feels like a kick to the stomach as I know I won’t be joining them.
“Cheer up, pussy,” PJ yells to me as he begins to climb the porch steps, a case of beer on each shoulder. At the top step he stops and grins. “Speaking of pussy… what’s this small town like?”
“You can’t stop yourself, can you?”
“Should’ve been a rock star instead,” PJ says. “Play guitar. Travel the world. Sleep with beautiful women.”
“You do the same now, minus the guitar,” I say.
“Excellent point. Now tell me about the women around here.”
“The only women I’ve met are elderly women who were swimming in a pool. And the lifeguard.”
“Female lifeguard. Sounds hot.”
“Go inside,” I growl at PJ.
He laughs way too loud, just to be a prick.
“So you’re already out on the town?” Trey asks as he passed by with a cooler.
I open the lid and see catered food. I peel back some foil and snag a couple pieces of cold, cooked bacon.
It tastes amazing.
“You know they want to get you all worked up, right?” Ranger asks.
“That’s what friends are for,” I say.
“But, hey, you do deserve some time off and some attention. I mean, if someone were to catch your eye and all while you’re here…”
“Of all the advice and guidance I need in my life, I don’t need you or anyone talking about what I do with my dick,” I say.
“With that said, let’s have a drink!”
I check my phone to see what time it is.
It’s probably too early for a drink.
But, hey, nothing like waking up, getting blackmailed, then having your best friends show up with bacon and beer…
In other words - it’s never too early for a drink.

The smile on Saxon’s face when I drop him off at school while driving Cutter’s massive SUV…
Let me just say it’s a big smile. I’m not exactly a fan of finding that sense of happiness through money and material items, but I understand. Saxon looks like a badass climbing out of the SUV, then tossing his book bag over his shoulder.
A few of his friends hurry and run up to him to ask about the SUV.
The mom part of me wants to roll down the window and call out something embarrassing…
Saxon, sweetie! Mommy loves you!
