Chapter 13

Brad

A drunk Sonia was a hilarious Sonia. She was a nonstop chatterbox, talking with feeling and elaborate hand movements. We were at a table with her college friends. Ava and her boyfriend and four other couples that had been together for a long time.

Sonia engaged and laughed with her former classmates. I could empathize with her, knowing what she wanted and knowing that she wasn’t there, relationship-wise. Two of the four couples at our table were engaged, and if she were with Jeff, there would be no doubt that they would be engaged by now, too.

Still, as I stared at Jeff and Jean, who was all over him, I couldn’t help but cringe at the thought of him and Sonia being together. No doubt, she was way too good for him. Too good for his cocky, sorry ass who had left her and had probably been two-timing her all the while.

I smiled as I listened to her rant.

“And, one time, I said that the dry-cleaning place had ruined his favorite shirt, but in all honesty, I had thrown it out.” Sonia laughed, retelling the stories.

I merely smiled, thinking back to how I had known about that little debacle. I’d been so pissed off that my favorite shirt could not be found that I went to the dry cleaners myself and was told it never made it there. Not like Sonia had known that. The whole table was laughing at her little joke, but little did she know that the joke was on her because I’d known all along.

Dinner was over, and dessert was being served. I’d been shoving water down Sonia’s throat and had to cut her off since her last glass of wine an hour ago. Sonia was feeling good, and I didn’t want to have to carry her out.

I stood, realizing her water was drained. “Let me get some water for you, bae.” The nickname rolled out of my tongue, automatic. It was odd and weirdly normal at the same time. Words like that never slipped out of my mouth. Plus, I was a grown-ass man using kid language. Still, my little nickname for her made it seem as though we were together, on the same team, just the two of us.

She groaned. “I hate that word. It’s the name teenyboppers who don’t know how to speak English give their significant others. They make up their own words, this new generation, and it’s such bullshit. You can’t just make up words.”

She’d read my mind.

Damn it. If she weren’t so cute, I’d strangle her.

Cute. Adoringly sassy. Petite.

I grinned. “Fine. Shorty—that’s your new nickname. You’re my Shorts.” Then, I kissed her forehead and proceeded to the bar.

But not before I heard Clarisse, who was sitting next to her, say, “You guys are the cutest couple ever.”

I laughed, and as I stared back at Sonia, I staggered to a stop. She was stunning. Not like I hadn’t noticed earlier because I had definitely noticed. But, with color in her cheeks and her smile that had been absent earlier when Jeff was around, she was drop-dead beautiful.
