Chapter 9: Paradise Lost
I started sipping wine to ease my thoughts. Nowadays, I rarely see Aiden, who usually calms me down, so I found a substitute. I decided to get out of my ditch and call Nina. I vented to her my saddens of not being able to spend as much time as I would like with Aiden, and how are work schedules always seem to make us miss each other. To my surprise, she was going through the same problem with Troy.
We decided to meet that weekend for a cup of coffee. We talked about time conflicts of jobs. We were just glad we all still had jobs with the growing recession and economy. The demand of jobs was hard so we did not exactly want to change just to edit our time cards. Then Nina broke into me about my resistance to being around Roy.
“It’s not his fault Kennedy. He has no control over the location of their jobs.”
“I know.”
I did know that. It still did not make the situation better. But I grew to the point where I had to at least reconcile with Roy. We decided to do just that after our coffee. But before we went to see Roy at his place, we thought it would be a great surprise if we got Troy and Aiden something, just to brighten up the mood, and get our relationships out of the outs.
We stopped at the mall, and I bought Aiden a stunning new black vest suit and cologne. Nina picked out an impressive casual outfit with a studded watch. We headed to Aiden house first because it was the closet stop from the mall.
As we pulled up, we could see Troy’s SUV sitting in the drive way.
“That’s convenient,” I laughed. “Although, I did hope to set this up in his room and just wait for the phone call for his reaction this can work too.”
They’re going to love this! The best part will be the making up. I had the key to Aiden’s place so Nina and I went to the door, unlocked it and went inside.
Aiden’s naked back faced Nina and I as we walked in to see him cropped over Troy who was naked, bent over the couch, biting the cushions. The sweat from their bodies was all over the living room and clothes were thrown in the kitchen. The door closed behind me.
