CHAPTER 12
Kayden
Dating? Rea is dating?
Is she doing it just to piss me off, or is there more to it? No, Iâm pretty sure sheâs doing it because she knows Iâll hate it. However, she should also know it would just be encouraging competition, and if thereâs anything I excel atâ¦
I havenât forgotten about the cooking scheme, so I run to the grocery store and come back with three heaping bags the next afternoon. She appears at her door when I knock and then eyes me up like I have the plague. Or maybe I am the plague.
I hold up the grocery bags. âHave you eaten?â
Rea rolls her eyes. âNope, but I think I officially just lost my appetite.â
âOuch. Thatâs rough.â I put a hand to my chestâbags still clutched between my fingersâto pantomime injury.
âYou better deposit money into my account before you start with that, and if youâre taking a shower, too, you know how much you need to put in. At this rate, Iâll be able to afford that overpriced pool in a week. You wonât even have to pay for it, although I would never, ever, ever let you anyway because that would just be crazy, and itâd be like a gift. I only take gifts from friends and family, and youâre not on either of those lists. I also donât accept charity because Iâm perfectly capable of providing for myself, especially with my new promotion.â
âThank you, Kayden. Thank you for helping me get where I want to go, career-wise. After you showed up, things started to change for the better, and Iâm stunned and amazed at how awesome everything is working out. Why did you stay away for so long?â I mock sarcastically.
Reaâs eyes flash. A few lines bracket the corner of her mouth and deepen, which may as well be a smile when she retorts, âMore like no, thank you, Kayden. I earned that promotion myself by working with the company for eight years. After you showed up, everything went to absolute rotting garbage. Things changed for the worse, and Iâm stunned and amazed at just how everything is going straight down the poo tube. Why couldnât you stay away longer? Like forever?â
I shake my head and swallow back one of those straight-up gut-busting laughs. If I got going now, I know itâs what would come out. Rea was always a funny girl, but the years have only sharpened her wit to the point of danger. Itâs quite enjoyable.
âWell? Are you going to stand there trying to think of some other witty comeback, or are you going to put all of that in the fridge and make use of my boring, old, ancient, run-down, and not-good-enough-for-you stove? By the way, I bought my friend a new fridge, and I used the rest to upgrade my parentsâ appliancesâfridge, stove, and dishwasher. I went and got two separate cards at lunch. One went to the fridge, and the other one, I mailed to my parents. My mom cried tears of joy.
