“Meh, I can take care of that later. I just thought you would be more fun than Bob.”

“Bob?”

“Battery operated boyfriend.” She explains.

“Ahh, yes. Sorry though. I’ve got some things going on.”

“I could tell, usually you’re ready to go right away. You weren’t this time.”

“We’re friends, right?” I start and wait for her to confirm or deny. I know that we are, because we’ve had actual consistent conversations and I’ve never kicked her out or ditched her immediately after sex.

She nods and I take a deep breath.

“I’m going to be a father.”

“Holy shit, well now I get it. Wait, you’re always careful…” She trails off, probably mentally checking on when we last slept together.

“Yeah, don’t worry, it’s not yours. I was black out drunk, we both were actually. And now, in like 8 months, I’ll be a daddy.” I admit.

“Um, congrats? Are you okay with it?” She asks. “You know especially with your sobriety?”

“Actually, I am. I’m surprised at that, thinking that maybe I should be freaking out a little more. Should I be?” I ask, lowering my hands fully and looking at her.

She still has the sultry look, her lips are red and swollen from my attack on her just minutes ago.

“To be honest, I have no idea. I remember my brother in law freaked the fuck out when he first found out that he and my sister were having a baby. But he’s good now. I think that everyone is different. What about the mother, what’s going on there?” She asks.

“That’s the funny thing. She works with my brother. Totally not intentional though, I didn’t know until a month ago, right before I found out I was going to… you know. She’s cool, I actually asked her to move into Davis’s room since he moved out.”

“Did she accept?” Nikki looks at me hesitantly.

“She hasn’t yet. I’m still working on it.”

“So, you’re broken now. No more playtime.” She pretends to pout. “I guess, we can just be friends.”

“Hey, I’m not broken!” I protest, “But it might be for the best. Maybe I should grow up and I don’t know, become the father-type. What would a father do?” I ask.

“Um, I picture Al Bundy.” She laughs.

I sit up and put my hand in the front of my pants. “Nope, not happening.” We laugh.

“While I’m bummed that I lost my number one buddy, I’m excited for you.” She smiles.

“How many buddies do you have Nikki?” I ask, cautiously. Not in the bit interested, but I don’t want to come off like I don’t care.

“Just you and one other. Matt, he and I don’t talk much though, you and I actually talk. We’re kinda pals too.” She smiles.

“Weirdest chick I’ve ever met.”

“What? Because I own up to wanting and having sex? Other females wish they could speak so openly, hell there would be less cat fights. All that pent up sexual frustrations, that’s why I’m so easy going… I get laid on the regular.” She brushes her hand on her shoulders.

“I appreciate your friendship, and well you know our sexual times.” I say to her smiling. “Sorry, I couldn’t go through with it today though, you know to help ease your mind over finals and all.”

“While I did come over to get laid, I did want to check in with you. You’ve been quiet, and I know you aren’t hitting up the bar anymore, so I just wanted to make sure I kept in touch.” She smiles.

“Thanks, that means a lot. Do you want something to eat? Milkshake maybe?”

“Mmmm a milkshake please.” She says as my doorbell rings again.

Aren’t I’m just mister popular today. Nikki quirks her eyebrow.

“Get out the ice cream, milk and strawberries, I’ll be right back.” I say rounding the counter and switching places with her to go get the door.

I put my shirt back on while I approach the door, and I open it to a smiling Tatum.
