No Sir.

Between a rock and a washer

I wake up to a melodic tune. A sweet motherly voice coming from my night stand softly singing, "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy...when skies are grey...you just don't know dear.." I reach up to grab my phone unplugging it and pausing the music to check my notifications. I have a handful of messages in the group chat with Benny and the girls saying to FaceTime when I pull my ass out of bed.

I try to close my eyes again but I can't fall back asleep. I know I don't work today but I have so much crap I have to do today. Ugh.

I head to the bathroom , getting ready for today. I drag a brush through my tangled hair and pee then rub my eyes and yawn walking into the kitchen.

I dump some Cheerios into a bowl and grab the milk jug out of my fridge. There's the tiniest bit left but I splash it over the O's anyway. Settling into the couch, popping on Friends I try to motivate myself to FaceTime the chat.

Halfway through my crunchy, dry cereal I work myself up to it.

The call chimes for a few rings before Benny appears outside walking to somewhere.

"Hey bitch! What's up!"

"Literally nothing right now," I suck some stuck cereal out of my back teeth. Maddie appears next to Benjamin on the screen, the wall of her bedroom in the background. Benny lets out a yelp and the camera shakes. Me and Mad start cackling almost instantly.

"The hell did you trip on Benny?" Maddie says wiping a stray tear from her eye while he huffs out a final laugh.

"Tripped on your mom's phat ass! What's it to you!" Jessie appears at last. Her eyes are giving a questioning look at all of us.

"Whose phat ass are we talking about! I feel like I'm missing out!"

Benny repeats himself to Jess who gives a giggle before I interrupt "I HAVE to tell you guys what happened at work yesterday!" I continue on to tell the last nights events with a few oohs and ahhs sprinkled in from the others on the call.

"I mean yeah it's a little weird he keeps finding you but I have to say that he probably had a good intention at least" Maddie pleads turning to the side and clicking on a lamp. I spot something on the side of her neck and question her on the spot.

"Ms. Madeline. Little sweet Madison Jennifer Young darling. What is that on your neck??"

She turns back to face the camera, looking below the camera and shrugging up her shirt to cover exactly what I'm talking about.

"I forgot that since you ditched us! And never even talked to me on Friday that you didn't get to hear about Maddie's escapade with a sexy Italian man! Maddie spill!" Benny pauses wherever he is outside to nearly yell excitedly into the phone speaker.

"No way! An Italian man too? What did he look like? Did you get a name?" I think to my own Italian beasty I met that night and I vaguely remember bumping into him by the bathrooms.

"Ohh... yeah well he's like 6 foot and had short brown hair gelled back. He was well dressed and uh.. well endowed.."

"Oh my god Maddie!" My mouth gapes open just as I hear Chandler laugh on the television. She goes on to describe how she ended up in the bathroom and when she came out and saw me and Michael together.

"Rei said that his brother really seemed to like you and by the way yall were grinding, we figured to just leave you to it! I didn't want to stand around to wait on you two to go home and fuck?"

Everyone seems to think we had some sort of connection at the club but I could barely remember any of it. A few foggy memories were coming back to me and with the pieces everyone told me I got the gist of what happened.
