Chapter 14

King

I could have cut the atmosphere on the plane with a knife. “Jesus Christ, you two. For the love of fucking God, would you please just enlighten me as to what the hell is going on right now? Anybody would think someone died up here. I mean, someone did die, but I know you two aren’t walking around like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders because of Maw Maw. Rome, what the fuck did you do?”

I had no fucking clue what was going on. All I knew was that I’d woken up with a pounding head, and a mouth dryer than the Kalahari, in a cold and empty bed. And not just any bed, but Rome’s. Quincy was nowhere to be seen, and Rome appeared to have flaked out on the oversized couch. I’d left him there, and gone looking for Quincy. I’d found her on the bed in the room we’d shared, lying down, but not asleep. She’d been tight-lipped when questioned, insisting that nothing was wrong, but she’d woken up and wanted to “give you your space”, which made no fucking sense.

When we’d fallen asleep, a sweaty, exhausted, but satiated heap, space had been the last thing any of us had wanted—we’d been a mess of interwoven arms and legs, spent, but happy, or so I’d thought.

But then I’d woken up, and it was as though my recollection of what had happened differed from everyone else’s.

“Why are you asking him that? We’re all adults, why would it be something that he’s done?”

“Because I know I had a few drinks yesterday, but I remember exactly what happened, I didn’t do shit wrong, which only leaves him and you. I know my best friend, and I know my girlfriend, and if anyone’s going to have fucked up, it’s him, so...”

“That’s not fair. He’s not the cause of all the world’s problems.”

“I’m not saying he is. I’m just saying that of the three of us, he’s the most likely to have screwed shit up.”

“You know he’s sitting right here, and can hear every word, right?” Rome’s voice was tight.

“I know, but if he’s not going to tell me what the fuck is eating him, then I think it’s fair game for me to talk to my girlfriend as though he’s not here. So where was I?” I turned my attention back to Quincy.

God, she was beautiful. No make-up. Hair a mess of curls she’d said would take more time than we had to fix, so she’d pulled it up into a pineapple on top of her head and called it good, rocking fitted black sweats and a hoody, and still she was the most fuckable woman on the planet.

“Come on, King, there’s no need to be like that.”

“Be like what? Why are you defending him?”

“I’m not. Because there’s nothing to defend him for.”

“Isn’t there?”

“And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“It means what happened while I was asleep? When we went to bed, everything was great, we were all in that post-coital daze, and life was sweet.
