laugh. Where are you staying?
The Wyndham at Union Square. But my co-worker and I went to the Giants game this afternoon and
then we came here for drinks.
Cool. We sat in a moment of awkward silence. I& just as I was going to excuse myself, Ryan
and Max came back.
Hey Spen& My head quickly jerked in her direction, my eyes huge and probably bulging out of my
head as I looked at her anxiously. Thankfully she noticed Trevor standing there before she finished
saying my name. Courtney& Phil is going to take us back&
Oh you guys are ready to go back to your place, Phil? I asked. Dear God, please let Max
understand girl talk right now!
Hey Megan, it s nice to see you again, Trevor said.
Oh you too, Trevor, how are you?
Great. I was just telling Courtney that we ve been staying at the Wyndham while we re here on
business. Is this trip business for you as well?
I quickly answered for her. Yeah, but we are staying with Megan s brother. This is Phil. Max s
eyes widened and he mouthed brother as he looked at me questioningly. I just shook my head at
him once and shot him a look that said, Just play along!
Oh cool, nice to meet you, Phil, Trevor said and offered Max his hand.
Max hesitantly put his hand out to shake Trevor s hand.
You too. Trevor, was it? So um yeah, are you girls ready? Max asked, thankfully playing along. I
need to be at work early in the morning.
Yeah, we are. It was nice seeing you again, Trevor, I said as I stuck out my hand to shake his.
Likewise. Megan, should I tell Matt you say hi? he grinned at her, innocent of his unknown faux pas.
Ryan looked like she wished the floor could have swallowed her whole as she said quickly, Uh yeah
sure, tell him I said hello. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. We ve really got to get going though,
so sorry!
Oh dear God get me out of here. Never in a million years did I ever think I would see Trevor again
and Ryan was a swiftly sinking ship. I guess that teaches us not to lie. Ha, who was I kidding? He still
thinks my name is Courtney and that I live in Seattle.
As soon as we got in Max s car, Ryan and I said simultaneously, Holy shit! and sighed with relief.
Max, even though I hate you right now, thank you so much for being here tonight! I said as I buckled
my seatbelt.
About that, Spence. Max is going to drop you off and then we are going to go to his place and talk.
Ryan said turning around to face me in the backseat.
Ok, no problem. I am just thankful to be out of that situation. That was so close!
You two want to tell me what that was all about? Max asked.
*~*~*
When Ryan and Max dropped me off at home, I couldn t wait to call Brandon and hear his voice. It
scared me how much I was already missing him. I settled into bed to call him and noticed I had a text
message from a number I didn t recognize:
Unknown: You should ask Brandon where he really is bitch!
My heart sank. There were only five people that I knew of who knew I was dating Brandon besides
Brandon and myself: Ryan, Jason, Becca and most recently, Travis and Misty. However, I am not
sure if Travis and Misty even knew Brandon s name. Maybe Teresa from the gym, but that was highly
unlikely.
I sat there staring at my phone, wondering what I should do. Should I respond? Should I call it and see
who answers? Should I call Brandon and ask him whose number it was?
Brandon had never put any doubt in my mind that he wasn t telling me the truth of his whereabouts or
even that he was seeing someone else. For the last week and a half, we had been together every night.
Since Brandon and I had started getting serious, I had told him everything about TravAss breaking my
heart no way could he be doing the same thing. Brandon even approached TravAss a few nights
ago thanking him for being an idiot. There was no way& right? I took a few minutes to collect my
thoughts. I couldn t be mad at him for something that wasn t true. I decided to call Brandon like we
had planned. If he didn t answer, then maybe I had my answer?
My body relaxed when Brandon answered the phone on the second ring.
Hey Baby. He had just referred to me as Baby . No way could he be with another woman.
Hi!
Did you and Ryan have fun tonight?
Yeah but Max showed up and now they are at his place talking.
Oh? That s good right?
Ah I guess. I really like Max but I hate what he did to Ryan, but I threatened to make him sterile if he
hurts her again!
You did what? he asked while laughing.
Yeah, I threatened to kick him in the nuts and make him sorry he ever met me. I was laughing too.
Aw Baby, you re such a good friend! My heart skipped a beat when he said Baby . There was
absolutely no way he was out with another woman.
I try. How is Seattle?
It s alright. I can t wait to be home and see you though.
Me too. What are you guys up to? I have to admit that there was a hidden meaning to the question.
We are just relaxing in the hotel room. Just got back from dinner.
Tell Jason I said hello.
I heard Brandon say to Jason, Hey, Spencer says hello."
All of a sudden, I heard a brief tussle and Brandon saying, "Dude, give me back my phone."
Hello, Spencer! Jason managed to say as I continued to hear commotion in the background.
