Michael

I’m an asshole! I have no clue as to why I didn’t talk to Brooke about heading back to the States. I had the perfect opportunity, but the words just wouldn’t come. Even after she told me how she felt, I still couldn’t get the words out for fear that she’d refuse to come with me.

You won’t know unless you ask her…

Opening my eyes and dropping my hand to the bed where I’ve been lying for the past thirty minutes, my hip starts buzzing like crazy.

Reaching out, I grab my cell and smile when I see my cousins name on the screen.

“Alex! I wasn’t expecting you’re call until tomorrow.” I rub at my eyes, trying to stay awake. Last night with Brooke is definitely catching up to me.

“When are you flying home?”

“In a few days. I’ll probably fly back with Sirena and family as Garrett has his plane here. Easier that way.” I yawn.

“Something keeping you awake?” he asks, distracted.

“Someone.” I smile to myself.

I hear mumbling at the other end of the phone and ask, “What’s going on with you?”

“Someone that you want to bring home, or a passing fancy?” He ignores my question and really goes to where I knew he would. He knows me well.

“She’s special, Alex. I’m struggling with when to tell her that I’m leaving for the States.”

“In case she doesn’t want to leave with you?” he guesses correctly.

Sighing, I stare at the ceiling. “What should I do?”

He laughs. “You’re asking me? I don’t have a girlfriend, remember.” He goes quiet and when he next speaks, I hear a tiredness he can’t hide. “But if I did, and she was as important as your girl is to you, then I’d tell her before someone else does.”

“I’ll tell her tonight after dinner.” I pause. “Everything okay with you?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“You don’t sound too sure.”

He laughs without mirth. “I’m fine Michael. Just tired.” He coughs. “I was wondering if you’d mind if I took a few days off when you first got back? We can go over the plans when I’m back in. I just need two days.”

Dropping my legs to the floor, I rub my hand over my face and rest my elbows on my thighs. “We are going to talk when I get back. We’re family and I know there is something going on, so we’re having that chat. I’m on your side.”

Alex sighs down the cell and it just confirms all my thoughts...he’s definitely tired. “We’ll talk. Email me your flight plan once it’s known.”

“I will.”

After a few minutes just discussing the business, I say goodbye and the cell goes silent. I palm the phone and think about him and the call. My cousin and best friend had sounded despondent on the phone, which has me worried—more worried than I was anyway.

Instead of getting some sleep, I need to go for a run and that will either wake me up or send me to sleep.
