Now that really pissed me off. Here I was trying to get clean and she couldn’t even support that I wanted to be left alone. Thankfully, my phone started vibrating and I recognized the number as my one and only friend in the whole God forsaken town. I grabbed my jacket and headed out of the house, after getting a very dirty look from my sister.
Ty was outside and stopped me at my truck. “Where you headed?”
“To get some pussy. Is that okay with you, or do I have to get permission from your wife?”
“Fuck you Conner; I hope that little redheaded bitch gives you Chlamydia and your dick falls off.”
I started the truck and flipped him the finger as I pulled away. Just to be a dick, I rolled down the window when the truck got close to him. “You’re just jealous cause I can hit whatever I want.”
I pulled out of there before he could say anything. I probably shouldn’t have been driving, but my sister refused to let Brina in the house. For the first two days, she’d been a good friend, but I knew she was getting to a point where she was expecting more from me, which was something I wasn’t interested in.
I met Brina, because she and Van used to be friends, but since she’d gotten married and moved to Kentucky with my cousin, they weren’t really close. It worked better for me, because I didn’t want anyone knowing my business. Another reason I liked Brina was because she knew how to have a good time. In fact, she jumped out of her car, took one look at me, and dug into her little purse. Without even saying a word, she put the pill on her tongue and pulled me in for a kiss. I felt her tongue brush over mine and drop the pill. As her mouth left mine, she handed me a bottle of soda.
“You ready to party, Cowboy?” She grabbed my hand and pulled me up against her body.
I ran my hand through her natural red hair. “You’re a bad influence.”
She teased me with her tongue. “You never complain.”
From the moment I swallowed that pill, I knew it was a mistake. Brina was the last thing I needed, and I knew exactly what would happen if I came out to see her. We always met at this barn outside of town. We’d fuck for a while and then go our separate ways. Unfortunately, that one pill had me all sorts of messed up and even after a few hours, I was in no shape to drive myself home. I honestly don’t even remember fucking the little ginger, but I’m sure it happened. It wasn’t like she was an unforgettable lay. She was alright, but nothing to write home to Momma about. The more I was with her, the more she became clingy. I was starting to wonder if women who just wanted a good time didn’t really exist. At first they were cool, but every damn one ended wanting something more.
By the time we got home everyone was asleep. I snuck Brina back into my bedroom and gave her some clothes to change into. Of course, for the rest of the night as I lay there high as a kite, she kept trying to cuddle with me.
I didn’t cuddle.
Ever!
I had planned on waking up early the next morning and getting Brina out of the house, before anyone knew she was there, but I knew that plan went to shit when Ty came barging in my bedroom and Brina wasn’t in the bed beside me.
He spoke in a whisper. “Get that bitch out of my fucking house.”
“Calm down! She ain’t stayin’. I needed her to ride me home last night, that’s all.”
I went to get up to take a piss, but Ty blocked the door. “Why would you need a ride home?”
“None of your damn business, Ty, now get the fuck out of my way.”
He pushed me back into my room and on my bed. I started to get up to go after him, but my sister jumped in between us. “If you don’t get that slut out of my house right now, I swear to God that I am calling Mom and telling her everything. Then I’ll be shipping your ass back home to deal with her.”
I held up my hands. “Fine!”
That was the last thing that I wanted, so I pulled on some jeans and took Brina home. I know my sister or Ty must have said something to her, because she never spoke to me the whole way, even when she jumped out to leave.
I waited for her to pull out of the lot before I headed home. Brina was bad news and if I wanted to stay, I need to get my shit straight. When I got back to the farm, I’d already decided I wasn’t going to see her anymore. She only cared about herself and as much as I hated not having any real friends, I didn’t need one like her.
I avoided my sister and Ty for the rest of the day, but as the sun started to set, I was feening for another pill. I don’t know how many times I pulled out my phone and started to dial her number, or even considered sneaking in the medicine cabinets in the main farm house to see if there was any pain medication left over. I know, I was really desperate, but I needed it.
