"I missed you." Mike said, tightening his grip on my bare waist the next morning.
"You missed me or you missed having sex with me?" I raised my eyebrows.
He laughed. "Both."
"How can you do that? Just act like nothing's wrong? Like nothing ever happened?" I asked softly, tracing patterns on his chest. "It bothers me."
"What else am I supposed to do? Remind you of what happened? Think about it all the time?" Mike sighed. "I. . . I don't know what to do anymore. All I know is that I love you and I need this to work."
"I'm trying, Mike. I really am." I smiled weakly. A clanging noise from downstairs interrupted our conversation. "Your son is hungry."
"I'll go feed him some crickets." Mike said, kissing my forehead. I rolled over as he left, grabbing my brand new white iPhone.
"Mike! Your brother's calling me!" I called, answering Vic's call. "Bonne matin, Vic."
"Are you with Mike? He's not answering his phone and no one's seen him since last night." Vic said automatically.
"Yes, dumbass. We're at home."
"You- oh. Good night?" Vic asked, the smirk in his voice audible.
"Va te faire foutre."
"I don't speak French, Charley."
"It means fuck off."
"Glad to know you guys are fucking and happy again. Stay together for Godzilla's benefit at least."
"You're like the annoying brother I never wanted."
"Get married and I will be your annoying brother. Literally, like I'll be your brother."
"Yes, Vic. I know how marriage works. I'm going to go fuck your brother on the kitchen table now, so-"
"Gross! Charley! God damn it!" Vic cried. "Bye!"
I laughed as he hung up and went downstairs. "Your brother's an idiot, Mikey."
"You're telling me. What did he want?" Mike asked, buttering bread for grilled cheeses.
"He thought you got kidnapped or something. I guess the thought of you being at your own god damn house didn't occur to him." I rolled my eyes, putting water for tea on to boil.
"He's not the brightest. I like the sound of that, you know? Our house." Mike smiled.
"It's good to have you back. It was very quiet, just me and Godzilla." I replied.
"It's good to be back."
