CHAPTER 6

BEN

The Fall season came and on Sundays, I’d have a house full of guys watching football. They’d wear their favorite team jerseys, drink beer, and scarf down pizza and wings like a bunch of fucking savages. We’d shout, cuss or groan at my sixty-inch flat-screen TV, depending on which team was winning or losing with field goals, touchdowns and penalties. Some Sundays Madi came over and hung out and I’d teach her about football, the teams and how it was played.

It was Saturday night and Travis with a few other guys were at my house to watch a major UFC fight when Madi’s name lit up my phone. When I answered it, I could barely hear her with all the noise in the background and she sounded like she’d been drinking.

“Where are you?” I asked her.

“I’m at the bar named after me, Madison’s Food and Spirits. I drinking away my sorrows.”

“Are you alone?” I asked, hoping she was with her friend Carly.

“Well yeah!” She giggled and had hiccups. “I wasn’t supposed to be though... I got stood up.”

She was out on a date? A pang of worry and jealousy came over me and I clenched my jaw. “I’m coming over there to get you.”

“But – “

“Don’t move and don’t get in your car Madi. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”

The final UFC fight match just began when I grabbed my keys and told Travis I was heading out to pick up Madi.

When I parked and entered the crowded bar area of Madison’s, I spotted Madi right away. She sat at the bar wearing a sexy short light purple dress and black heels. Some douche bag was sitting beside her. He just slid a full cocktail glass to Madi and I felt like smashing his face in.

I moved fast, weaving through the crowd to stand behind him. “Hey asshole, that’s my wife you just slid that drink to.”

He turned around, his eyes all bloodshot and raised up his hands. “Sorry dude. Didn’t know”. He stood from a barstool and staggered away.

I planted myself on it, and looked at Madi. Her eyes were glazed over.

“Hi, Benjamin!” She said, then leaned back and almost fell off her stool.

I reached over and pulled her back to me. “Whoa there Madi. What happened? Who stood you up?”

She shook her head, her brows scrunched “Oh just Alex. He works in sales for a secure... security systems company. I work in the same building as him.”

I felt anger rise inside me. “Is he your boyfriend? He sure sounds like a loser to me for standing you up.”

“No, he’s not my boyfriend. I really don’t know what to call him actually. I guess he’s one of those friends with benefits? The benefits that I’m starting to realize are when it benefits him. I’m sorry I called and bothered you tonight. You didn’t have to come here. I would’ve just called an Uber to get home.”

“I’m glad you called me. And I’m taking you home. Now.” I climbed
