My Brother's Best Friend(50)

“You have class after work, right?” Megan asked.

“Yeah, every day of the week except Wednesday and Friday.”

Megan nodded. “That’s a pretty packed schedule.”

“Yeah, well, it’s not even a full load of classes. It will take me another two years to finish at the rate I’m going.”

“Maybe now with both mine and Mitchell’s incomes, you could go back to full time and finish in two semesters.”

I smiled. I wasn’t about to say I didn’t want to give up my good job and benefits to go to school full time. I was used to my packed schedule and I kind of liked it. More importantly, I didn't want to put that sort of financial pressure on them. “I’ll be upstairs,” I said, pointing toward the stairway.

“Don’t forget to check your phone, it was beeping incessantly earlier,” Emily complained.

“And you’re telling me this now? You could have told me earlier.”

“Eh, I forgot.” She didn’t even look up.

I smiled and shook my head before heading upstairs to check my phone.



Hey Beautiful.

Hello?

Hello. Hello. Hello. (That’s an echo if you didn’t get it)



Seriously, Chris. Come on, it’s like 11.

You can’t still be sleeping.

Okay when you get this just text me.

I’m dying over here.

Just be glad that I know

you’re safe with Mitch or I would

be over there making sure you were alive

Geez, Dev. I left my phone upstairs.

And Emily didn’t tell me my phone

had been going off until just now.



Phew. I almost texted Mitch to ask you if you had

seen my sweatshirt just so I could make

sure you were all right.

—————————————————-

Sweet or annoying?



I would say creepy, not annoying.

Haha, just messing with you. I think

it’s sweet, you care for my wellbeing.



I do. So, are we good for dessert tonight?

—————————————————-

Eagerly waiting for a response



It’s a go. I told them last night, so I’m free.

M&M wanted to know if I wanted to do

something before dinner.



You should go do something. You’re probably

just in your room reading for class.

Go have some fun, it’s your birthday

—————————————————-

By the way HBTY



Happy Birthday To ME! Haha.

I don’t have anything I want to do, though.

What about a movie?



It’s not my birthday.

—————————————————-

Thus the Happy Birthday To YOU.



I know. I was asking if you would go too.

I don’t want to just go with my family.



How is that supposed to work?

—————————————————-

I don’t see a feasible way



I put my brother’s name into my phone.



Hey Mitch, Megan said you’d do something with me before dinner?



Sure. You have something in mind?

Me and Devin were going to watch a movie while

you guys were away but we never got around to going.

Maybe we could all go see a movie before dinner.



Sure. Sounds good. Just pick the movie and time.

I’ll be home in ten minutes.

Should we invite Devin

since you had planned on it earlier?

Sent from the iPhone of Mitchell Walsh



Sure. He’d probably appreciate that.

I can let him know.



Okay. Thanks, Christy.

Maybe you should invite him to dinner too.

He is practically family,

and he helped out this past week.

Least I could do is buy him dinner.

That is, of course, if you agree.
