Avery's Heart #4

CH 3 WTF Memphis

Avery's POV-- Memphis truck pictured above.

I flag down Grey from the other end of the bar to bring me another fruity drink. I can tell something is on his mind by all the anxious energy he is exuding while pouring drinks tonight. I give Memphis a look but he just shakes his head."Oh my god you are no help Memphis." Memphis laughs and finishes his beer as I huff at him.

I'm still a little peeved With the asshole that is my best friend. He was in bed when I got to house tonight, and of course he couldn't just be in bed alone no he had a very naked man in bed with him. So of course when I walk in and see Memphis naked with another man I say. "Oh sorry Adam." Of course the guy turns and looks at me slightly frightened and he is definitely not Adam and I'm mortified at my blunder.

I'm so mad at Memphis I see red. "Sorry man but can I get a minute alone with Memphis?" The guy jumps out of bed and I shield my eyes as he rushes to get dressed. "No worries man I was just leaving." I peak to see him looking dreamy eyed at Memphis. "Call me some time." We both wait to hear the front door open and close before we bust up laughing.

But I'm still mad so I jump on the bed and pull on Memphis' ear. "You asshole how many times have you done this to me? And what about Adam I liked him Meme and why do they always think your going to call them after you get what you want?"

Memphis adjust the sheet covering his nakedness. "Well little man this will make four times" He wiggles his eye brows at me. "And Adam was rather boring, I like meek not boring there is a difference. And I have no clue why a guy willing to put out as soon as I meet him thinks I will call but, Anyways get your ass up so I can take a shower."

I huff. "Fine but why does It feel more like four hundred times I have walked in on you naked in a compromising position?" Memphis rolls his eyes at me."Thats because you have no boundaries you walk into my house and room without ever knocking what do you expect?" I jump off the bed. "Well you knew I was coming I don't drop by unannounced but fine, I will go find something decent for you to where in that mess you call a closet."

I get brought back to the present when Grey brings me my drink I grab his hand. "What's up Grey you look nervous or stressed what's the matter?" Grey squeezes my hand. "Courtney is having contractions but last time we rushed down to the hospital they were only Braxton hicks. So I'm trying not to get to excited that my baby is coming soon because it could be another false alarm."

I smile and rub Grey's arm trying to offer some form of comfort. "Oh Grey that's amazing I can't believe you are here working you should be home or at the hospital. I know when Miranda gave birth a couple weeks ago Mischa went crazy running around like a chicken with his head cut off. And that was only his little sister not his actually baby so I can't even imagine what your going through."

Grey laughs. "I was at home and I was going crazy there too so I came here at least I can work off some of the anxious energy by running around behind the bar. It actually has been taking my mind off it a little but Blaine is here too so we are ready if the the time comes. I just can't stand another minute waiting at home doing nothing."

Memphis smiles at Grey. "Well that makes sense congratulations either way man you must be so excited to be so close to holding your little one." Grey starts pouring Memphis another beer. "Oh we are so excited. I feel like the last nine months have been the slowest of my life but the happiest fastest months at the same time."

We all startle when Blaine rushes up to us and grabs Grey. "Ok baby please stay calm but it's time to go, so lets take deep breaths ok and calmly go to the hospital." Of course nothing about Grey is calm so he starts freaking out screaming and flaying his arms like a mad man. "Come on Daddy. Why are we going so slow? We have to go we can't miss it come on, come on."

Memphis and I watch as tiny little Grey drags Blaine towards the back hallway exit. I look over at Memphis. "I am so happy for them. Grey really deserves the big family he has always wanted." Memphis laughs. "Yea but me and you both know having a big family isn't all it's cracked up to be."

I think about all my brothers and cousins and yeah sometimes it gets crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way."Yea Meme but sometimes just knowing you have them if you do need them gives you that security to try things you never other wise would because even if you fail you have your family to take care of you and have your back even when you make mistakes or bad choices."

Memphis sips his beer and looks pensive for a minute. I push him softly."Don't hurt yourself big guy trying to think that hard. I'm not trying to go all philosophical on you." Memphis snorts and makes me bust up with his silly face.

A new bar tender comes our way. "Well you two look like your having too much fun. My name is Lane can I get you guys a refill?" I order one more and Memphis declines since he has to drive our asses home. Lane goes and makes my drink for me and I watch Memphis check out his ass as he turns to grab the alcohol off the back shelf.

I slap Memphis to get his attention. "No way three guys in twenty four hours. No Meme just for once have fun with me and go home alone. It's not like you won't have company tonight you know I'm staying with you." Memphis shakes his head but agrees. "Ok little man just me and you tonight."

I beam up at Memphis as Lane the bar tender serves me my drink. Memphis doesn't even look at Lane as he walks away. "Thanks Meme, Let finish this drink and lets go dance." I sip my drink down quickly and start to feel tipsy. "Damn I'm such a light weight, three drinks and I'm already feeling tipsy."

Memphis grabs my hand and pulls me onto the dance floor. We start dancing together to the beat of the fast paced music pumping through the speakers. I get so lost in the rhythm I don't even care that Memphis and I are getting weird looks for being two guys dancing together. Yes Blaine runs a pretty tolerant place but by no means is Privilege a gay bar. So two guys dirty dancing isn't something you see everyday here, unless Grey is here then it happens more and more.

We are dancing and Memphis is glued to my back not an inch of space between us. I feel Memphis start to run his hands up and down my sides and it tickles so I turn so I'm facing Memphis and dance on his thigh. I grab his cowboy hat off his head and put it on my own as I dip and roll my hips for a few songs before I'm dieing of thirst."Come big guy I'm thirsty I need a break."

We make our way through the sea of dancing bodies back to the bar where there is only one open barstool so I jump on it and Memphis stands beside me. When Lane makes his way to us I order two waters and we both gulp them down quickly. Memphis takes his hat back and places it back on his head. "You do know you could get a ass kickin for messing with a Texas mans hat little man?"

I huff. "Yeah yeah you say that but never do anything when I steal your hat. I think your just jealous I look better in it." Memphis looks down his perfect nose at me. "Whatever you got to tell yourself I look mighty fine in my hat and you know it. I'm about ready I had a long day lets head home."

I agree quickly and we make our way to Memphis' truck and head down the 168 freeway home. Twenty minutes later when we pull into the garage I can barely keep my eyes open. We go inside and take our shoes off at the front door and I take Memphis' hat off his head again and hang it on the hook. "Come on big guy I'm exhausted."

We make our way to Memphis bedroom and strip down to our briefs and both climb into his big ass Texas size bed. I go to lay down and remember what I walked in on earlier and screech. "Oh my god get up Memphis Rawlings and help me change this bedding." I strip the bed as Memphis goes and gets new bedding out of the closet. We make the bed quickly and crawl back into bed.

I roll around until I find a comfy spot right next to Memphis body. I feel him wrap an arm around me as we start to fall asleep. I barely hear him when he whispers. "Good night little man sweet dreams." I fall asleep before I can even answer him to tired to feel any normal awkwardness at his closeness.
