“Sweetheart, he’s all mine now. You’re just another fucking hookup.” She hissed and looked down at me and smirked.

“Fuck you! You’re still the same whore he fucked with months ago!” I screamed as tears streamed down my face. I watched as the love of my life, the one who stole my heart and stomped it into the concrete, walked up and wrapped his long ink covered arms around that slut.

“Baby, come on, we have to get going.” He said as he lightly kissed her neck making her smirk grow.

“One second.” She whispered and walked slowly up to me. She stared me down before, SMACK.


I came up gasping for air as I woke up from the fucked up nightmare. It was three in the morning and I was wide awake. I never realized how quiet my house really was until now. It was really creepy actually. It had been three days since Mike and I made everything official.

It still boggled my mind how the two of us are together now. We had told everyone close to us and, to say the least, they were all relieved that we finally got together. The only bad thing was this one reoccurring ‘nightmare’ of Mike going back to that Alysha chick. I’m so scared to fully jump into this relationship with Mike knowing that at any moment he could up and leave.

I tiredly got out of bed knowing I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep and made myself a cup of tea before sitting in my living room and searching for something to watch. The tea was making me feel tired again so I finished it and went back up to bed in hopes of getting a few more hours of sleep before work.

The crude sound of my alarm caused me to wake up again and I sighed as I rolled out of bed for a second time this morning. I took a nice hot shower and got dressed quickly before realizing I was late and bolted out of the door and to the tattoo shop.

“Late night, Brooks?” Dave said breaking my balls about being late.

“More like early morning.” I sighed as I put my stuff in the back room and took my place at the front desk. He and Casey both looked at me sadly as I knew they noticed the bags under my eyes that were clearly visible. I was glad that tomorrow was my day off and I could hopefully catch up on some sleep.

I got to about lunch before I started to doze in and out. The sleep deprivation was catching up to me.

“Hey baby.” A sweet voice cooed, pulling me away from the comforting darkness that held the sleep I so dearly needed.

“Hey.” I yawned quietly and looked up to my concerned boyfriend. Boyfriend, it’s so weird to call Mike that.

“I brought you lunch.” He smiled and held what looked to be a chef salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing on the side. I smiled and graciously took the delicious looking food from his out stretched hands. I told Casey I was going for my lunch break and left with Mike. We walked down the street to a small park-like area.

“What’s wrong, Jay?” he said as we sat down at a little stone chess table and I popped the top on my salad before letting out a long yawn.

“Nothing, I’m just tired.” I said and dug into my salad. He looked at me with curiously concerned eyes and sighed, dropping the topic.

“So, how was your day?” I asked quietly and his eyes met mine for the first time today.

“Good! We wrote a lot and recorded a few things. This next album is really gonna be something. How was your day?” he asked with a bright smile. I loved the look he got in his soft chocolate eyes when he talked about the things he loved.

“Just another day for me, you know how boring I am.” I chuckled a bit and thought about the reoccurring dream that I ached so badly for to go away. I hated having these reservations be amplified by simple figments of my fucked imagination.

“Yeah, but tomorrow is your day off right?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I was wondering if you wanted to stay at my house tonight and come to the family barbeque my parents are having. They really want to spend some time with you, as do Tony, Jaime and Vic.” He chuckled and I smiled.

“Of course! I miss hanging out with everyone.” I sighed but smiled.

“Good. So you want to just come over after work?” he said hopefully.

“Yeah, I just have to run home first.”

“Oh! I’ll just pick you up at your house then, no wait I’ll just be there waiting for you when you get home.” He smiled sweetly and I chuckled and shook my head.

“You’re cute, you know that?” I smiled.

“Really, I am?” he smirk and I rolled my eyes as he flexed and checked himself out. I finished my salad, tossed the container and we started the short walk back. We stopped just outside the shop and I yawned yet again, feeling sleep try so hard to take me over. Mike looked at me strangely but I just shrugged it off.

“So, I’ll see you at your house?” he said as he wrapped his long arms around my waist and smiled down at me.

“Yes, you will.” I smiled up at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned down and captured my lips on an adoring kiss and we were soon interrupted by various whistles and catcalls from inside the shop. I pulled away and looked over to find coyly smiling Dave and Casey.

“I’ll see you when I get home.” I sighed and tried to pull away from him but he tightened his grip on my waist. I chuckled and struggled to get away again until I finally gave up and looked at him with a devious glare. I playfully pinched at his sides until he let me go. I gave him a last quick peck before going back to work.


The day seemed to drag on but it was finally closing time. I finished the last of my paper filing and payment things before locking it all away in the safe and meeting my two coworkers outside so we could lock the doors and go home.

“You sure you’re okay to drive, Jay?” Casey asked with a concerned look.

“Yeah, I should be fine.” I waved it off and we all walked back to our cars. They both gave me skeptical looks as I drove past them and out of the lot.

I got home safely and saw Mike’s gorgeous caddy waiting off to the side. I smiled tiredly and walked into my house, grabbing my mail on the way.

“Babe?!” I yelled as I set my things down and looked for the giraffe that I called a boyfriend. I found him out in the backyard with a cigarette in hand playing with his phone.

“Ready to go?” he looked up and smiled.

“Yeah, just let me grab some clothes for tomorrow.” I smiled and went upstairs to gather what I needed. I came back down and he was waiting by the front door. I grabbed my phone, charger and purse and followed him out to his car. The ride to his house wasn’t filled with chatter but singing. We sang every shitty pop song that came on and then made fun of how incredibly stupid they all were when a commercial came on.

We soon pulled into his driveway and got out. This would be the first time I would be staying the night at Mike’s house intentionally. I was a little nervous but I knew nothing bad could possible happen.

“Are you hungry?” he asked as we walked into the kitchen and I sat at his table.

“No, not really.” I sighed. He started making himself a sandwich and humming a tune to himself.

I watched as he cut the sandwich and gave me half of it. I looked at him and he took a bite of his half and smiled.

We both sat in comfortable silence as we ate. I felt stuffed even from the half of the sandwich but to my defense it was a huge sandwich to begin with. We both snapped our heads to the door as we heard loud yelling and rapid fire knocks. Mike walked to the front of his house and the yelling only got louder as he opened the door.

“Jayme!” Jaime squealed in delight and scooped me up out of my seat. I giggled until he set me back down in my place.

“Hey Himes. Hey guys!” I chuckled and greeted Tony and Vic. We all moved to the backyard where the sun had already set and it was dark out. We sat outside talking until the ball breaking started.

“So, you and my baby brother, huh?” Vic smiled and I nodded and smiled at Mike.

“Who would’ve thought the two mortal enemies would get together.” Jaime chuckled and took a sip from his corona. That was always the key point that everyone made. We hated each other and now were together. Some called it fate others called it ironic. Either way you look at it, it’s almost comical.


We sat around just bullshitting until Vic determined it was time for them to leave. I missed hanging out with the guys dearly but I was beyond tired and was in dire need of sleep. All goodbye and with drowsy eyes, I collapsed on the couch in Mike’s living room.

“Come on, let’s get you to bed.” He said right before he scooped me up much like your mom or dad does when you fall asleep in the car and they have to bring you inside. I clung to him in case he slipped up and dropped me but his arms were strong and didn’t put me down until we reached his bed. I took my pants and bra off, tossing them to the side before climbing under the covers.

“Good night, sweetheart.” Mike mumbled as he kissed my cheek and pulled me close to him under the covers. Being wrapped in his arm cooed me to sleep quickly but it didn’t stop the slight flutter in my heart. I dozed off into the much needed rest with a light smile on my face.
