Saved (Wanted 2)

I looked over at him and saw him trying not to smile.

“Dude, really? You’re gonna try to outdo my honeymoon? That’s fucked up. ”

“You took Paris away from me, Jeff. Paris was mine. I laid claim to it. ”

“You’re going to be a big baby about this, aren’t you? Just because I’m going to Paris first? Dude, it was my fucking idea in the first place!”

“I wanted Paris, you bastard. ”

“Ari speaks French for fuck’s sake. ”

“Doesn’t matter, I’m sure you broke some sort of man code. ”

“Man code? I broke the man code? You bastard, it was my idea…you’re the one who broke the man code trying to steal it from me. ”

“What the fuck are you two talking about?” Josh said from behind me.

“Gunner’s pissed because I’m taking Ari to Paris before he takes Ellie. He’s being a baby. ”

“Well, he did lay claim to it, dude,” Josh said.

“Thank you!” Gunner shouted out and high-fived Josh.

Traitor bastard is never staying at my house again. He could bunk with Garrett and Emma from now on.

“Go to hell, Josh. ”

Josh and Gunner both let out a laugh.

“Oh fuck,” Josh said as he stepped behind me.

He looked like he was hiding from Lynda.

“Dude, are you hiding from your girlfriend?” I asked.

“Yes! She’s fucking driving me crazy. Sorry, Gun, I know she’s your cousin, but fuck, she’s already pressuring me with marriage. We’ve only been dating for five months! If she keeps this up, I think I’m gonna need a break from her. ”

“Dude just tell her she’s putting too much pressure on you and to back off,” I said.

“I’ve tried. Every time I do, she says I don’t want to get married because I really want Heather. She’s driving me mad as hell. ”

“Why do you stay with her then?” Gunner asked.

“Honestly?”

“Yeah, honestly,” Gunner said as he looked at his cousin walking up.

“I’m lonely, and she’s not too bad in bed. ”

Gunner turned and looked at Josh.

Josh held up his arms. “Dude, you asked, and I answered. ”

“Fucker,” Gunner said.

“Hey, boys, whatcha up to? It looks like a deep conversation over here,” Lynda said.

She walked up and gave Josh a kiss. He barely smiled at her.
