“I mean not exactly. She was asking about where Brian was and I was already freaking out about how Dean was married. I lied and said Brian was getting the car for me, and I took off and called an Uber.”
Ally’s mouth drops open. “You didn’t! Oh my god, so you haven’t talked to Dean at all yet?”
“Well kind of.” I let out a sigh. “You’re going to love this part. Pretty much the most drama you can think of happened next.”
Ally rubs her hands together. “Oh sounds juicy. What happened after you ran away? Did he come after you? Did he tell his wife he’s leaving her for you? Oh did you-.”
“Ally!”
She laughs. “Oh sorry, go ahead.”
“He must’ve ran back to his car because he pulled into the driveway when I was trying to unlock the front door. He ran after me begging me to let him explain.”
Ally stops me. “I thought you said you didn’t know why he was married. Did he not explain it well?.”
“I didn’t let him explain.”
“What? Why not?”
“Because I was pissed at him for lying to me about being married. I hadn’t even broken up with Brian yet, who was literally upstairs. I couldn’t deal with everything at once.”
Ally shrugs. “I mean technically he didn’t lie. Did you ever ask him if he was married?”
I just glare back at Ally. She laughs. “Okay! Okay! Sorry. So what happened next?”
“Well, Dean was trying to explain himself still when Brian came down and saw us arguing and apparently his mom texted him about being at the fair. He started asking questions, and Dean kept asking him to leave so we could talk. When Brian questioned why he needed to talk to me, well, Dean kind of lost it. He basically told Brian we both knew he was cheating on me. Suddenly, it was like Brian realized what was going on and went crazy on his dad. He started screaming that Dean fucked his girlfriend, and then he punched him in the face.”
Ally’s mouth drops open. “Brian punched his dad? What did Dean do?”
“Well, he wasn’t about to hit his kid back. He just grabbed Brian’s arms to try to calm him down.”
“Is that when you left?”
I shake my head. “No. I needed to talk to Brian. We went upstairs and talked everything out. We ended on staying friends.”
Ally gasps. “Friends? Friends! Why on earth would you be friends with that cheating, asshole, son of bitch?”
I laugh. “Are you done?”
“I don’t know. I’m going to keep my anger handy in case you come down from your shock and realize we need to go vandalize his car.” We both laugh.
“It wasn’t like I thought. He admitted to kissing her the night before my birthday, but he said he regretted it and wanted to make it work. He said things were different once we moved in together, and he wasn’t wrong. We never even had sex once since before my birthday. I don’t know if I told you that. He said he regrets not ending things with me officially before hooking up with Maddison, but it was complicated with both of us living with his dad.”
“Well as long as you’re okay, I won’t do anything to him too crazy. For now. What’d he have to say about you and Dean.
I shrug. “He didn’t really say much. I told him it wasn’t about revenge.”
“So if everything turned out okay, what are you doing here?”
“I needed to get away from Dean.”
Ally smiles. “Oh honey. You’ve got it bad for that man.”
I try not to smile, but I do because she’s right. “He kissed me.” I smile and bite my bottom lip between my teeth thinking about that kiss.
Ally raises an eyebrow. “Uhm pretty sure you already told me about all the kinky sex. Not exactly news that you’ve kissed.”
I laugh. “No, I mean he kissed me right before I came over.”
