I'm at least three inches shorter than her, so I can’t blame him for not seeing me.
“Uh… Hi, I'm Matt,” he says as he walks closer and sticks out his hand.
Giggling, Jules slaps his shoulder, “Babe you literally only gave me five seconds before coming in here.”
“Well I wanna get you home, and Cam needs to lay down. He’s acting all tough and Macho Man but falling from a roof has to fucking hurt.”
“It’s nice to meet you too Matt. Who’s Cam? Why did he fall off a roof?” I ask curiously as I shake his hand before letting it go.
Jules completely ignores my question and turns to look at Matt.
“Go back out to the car babe. We'll be there in a sec. Promise.”
Giving her a quick kiss he nods and heads back outside.
“What were you talking about and who the hell is Cam?” I demand as I fold my arms and glare at her.
“Okay, so this is how it goes. Your future baby daddy is in the back of Matt's car. He fell through a roof today and is all fucked up. I don’t want to ditch you. I wanted to know if you would stay with Matt and I at his place? It's a lot closer to the shop if you stay with us. You’ll be closer than if you were at ma and pops place. Plus, we’ll be able to hang out.”
“Jules slow down, what do you mean baby daddy? And isn't it going to be weird having two strangers together while you and Matt are off doing whatever couples do? Like some sort of third wheel type of deal.”
“It’s not going to be weird.” When I raise my eyebrow at her she pouts her lip.
“Please. Please, pretty please?”
“Why can’t I just stay at your place while you go up there? I'm okay if we don’t hang out.”
“Did I not just tell you about your future baby daddy? How can you pass that up, hmm?”
“How the hell can you tell he’s my “future baby daddy”? How long have you even known him? And if you thought he was sooo good why are you just introducing us now?”
“Well because it’s not like Anthony or the twins would have let him get close to you anyway. I didn’t want them running this one off, duh.”
Well damn. I do have to give her that but he’s not going to be Cameron, and that just isn’t going to work for me. I don’t see how indulging her could hurt any and I would get a bed instead of sleeping on the couch.
Plus, I could have her cook for me and not have to eat Top Ramen and toast for a week. Win-win.
“Fine, but you have to cook for me, and they have to be all my favorites, and I make no promises on the baby daddy front.”
“If you say so…” She sighs dramatically like I’m putting her out.
“Oh shut up. At least I'm coming with you. Let me lock up, and then we can go.”
Laughing she walks over to my purse on the counter and grabs the keys.
“Okay biotch, let’s get out of here.” laughing I take the keys from her as she walks by me.
“Hold up Jellybean, I still gotta turn off the lights.”
“Oh… right, well hurry up then.”
I quickly run around the shop turning off lights and making sure
everything else is turned off.
“Okay, we are good to go.”
I tell her as I walk back to the front. She is already at the door looking like I made her wait for five hours instead of five minutes.
