Little Fires(Evan Buckley)

Dumb Friend. And yes.

I walk out of the changing room. "What do you guys think?" "Okay, Destiny did not come to play." Hen state. "Someone's getting laid tonight." "thank you thank you. "they chuckle as they leave the station.

"Hey, Tiny can you-" I look back and see Buck. He's staring at me. "Yes, Buck?" "Oh, I was just wondering if you could help me with the tie?" I go to the boy's locker room.

"You clean up nice." "same. Definitely getting laid," he states. I chuckle. "What if I screw this up?" "don't," I state. "Uh okay, what happens if we start having sex?" "and that would happen because..."

"That's what always happens I'm a sex addict."  "you should see a doctor about that." I joke. I look at his face and giggle. "Listen it's Valentine's Day. Most people fuck on Valentine's Day. But it's not uncommon for people to use sex to avoid being intimate." "so you're saying you know. It's okay to sleep with her as long as I'm not a dick about it?" he asks as I finish his tie.

I let out an airy chuckle. "Did not say that." "no?" "Is that seriously where your mind went? Dickleak." I state. "That's what I heard?"  "Can you try? Can you at least try not fuck her? It's your first date get to know her." I state.

"Okay, so I should...not sleep with her tonight." "yes." "Okay."

"Do not have sex with your MILF tonight." he snickers and shakes his head. "If you're really interested in her. A woman deserves a guy who will treat her right and vice versa. So be chivalrous." "Chivalry? Okay, I like that. You know and...don't be a dick." I laugh. "Yes! That too! But I think you have your head straight for this one. So have fun but not too much fun." I state. "I got it. I got it. Cut me some slack." he puts his jacket on. He turns to me.

"How do I look?" "Okay, Prince Charming. I better not see a white horse outside." he chuckles. "Yeah?" "yeah. Good luck." "I don't want it," he says as we walk out the door.

"Good luck keeping your dick in your pants. I have friends at 9-1-1 I will know and beat your ass." "No, I'm not-Tiny!" he says laughing.

I get to the bar. I sit down and order a drink. "Hi." I look next to myself. I see a dread head. "Hi?" "Can I buy you a drink?" he asks. "Already ordered." "Can I buy your drink?" he rephrases.

"Okay, sure." "I'm Eric," he states. "I'm Destiny."

We get back to his apartment and he starts kissing me. I wrap my arms around his neck as he opens the door.

He throws me off the bed and starts taking his jacket off. He gets on top of me. He starts kissing my neck. I hear a phone call. "Wait wait hold on. This could be work." I take the call panting.

"Is this Destiny Morgan?" the woman asks. "Yes." "we're calling regarding your co-worker Evan Buckley. He had an accident," she states. "Is he okay?" "yes, he'd be fine we were just calling his emergency contact." I scrunch my face.

"Okay. I'm on my way," "What's going on?" "my dumb friend almost died. I have to go check on 'im." I say putting my shoes back on.

"What? You're leaving me for some guy?" "Dumb friend. And yes." I state. "He's more important?" "What part of dumb friend didn't you understand." I grab my jacket and head for the door. "You can't leave." "Watch me." I walk out the door. I swear this better be worth it or I'm going to kill him."

I walk to his room and burst through the door. "God damn. What happened?" I ask Abby. "He choked on some bread," she states. "He- he what?" "yeah. But he's still out of it." "Well, thanks to you he's not dead so that's a plus," I state. "Did we ruin your date?" "what? Oh no. It was just a hook-up. I can get another one. He smelled like Cheetos and the great depression anyways." she laughs.

"You must really care about him if you dropped everything?" "I guess. He's ight." I state. I lean on the wall. "You've had a rough night. How about you go home and get some sleep?" I state. "No no no. I want to. I'd love the company though if you want to..." "Where else do I have to be?" I sit next to her.

"How about that Valentine's Day huh?" "super romantic," she states. "Well, he won't be forgetting this for a while. I'll be reminding him of it for the rest of his life." we laugh. "No. It was all going so great until I had to cut a hole in his throat." "Valentine's Day doesn't really work out how you want it to sometimes," I state.

"But hey if you could plan for everything life would be pretty boring," I state. "You speak from experience?" "You have no idea," I state.

"Wanna grab some coffee?" "you can't choke on that can you?" she asks. "You've obviously never had coffee from here before." I chuckle.

I guess she's not as bad as j thought. It's still weird. But if he's happy then...what am I to stop him? After all shes making him a better person.
