On The Edge

Chapter Twenty Nine

‘’Pick me pick me!!!!!’’ Jason’s voice cried, what the hell had he done to my ring tone, my colleagues in the meeting looked at me as if I had lost my mind, yep I had and I really don’t mind, I don’t know WWWH (why, where, when and how) I learnt that from Cailen, I smiled at the other men before I realised that I had, ‘’excuse me.’’ I answered the phone not caring if they heard.

‘’what did you do to my ringtone?’’ I want to sound angry but I can’t help the smile that slips through, ‘’just switched things around a little, your ringtone is Mozart, MOZART!!! The only good thing about that is that the guy’s name has art in it.”

“I like Mozart, he helps me relax…’’ I told him, “but I like your voice better, why’d you call? Did you miss me?’’

‘’you wish, I’m trying to decide if you want me to pack you chocolate or cupcakes?’’

‘’chocolates of course’’

I heard his laughter, ‘’I’ll pack some chocolate cupcakes with that. Novels or comics?’’

‘’Give me thrillers, suspense, crime, and all that’’

‘’novels I presume.’’

‘’no, comics’’ said I sarcastically but I had an uncanny feeling he was actually taking me seriously, ‘’I’m kidding Jas…’’

‘’for a moment I thought you were serious.’’ The idiot ‘’one last question, vanilla or spicy?’’

 I was seriously lost now, ‘’what?’’

‘’sex’’ he replied like I was the idiot for not understanding what he meant. ‘’slow down, Jas How did we jump from that to that?’’

‘’it’s a quite simple question, Blaine, do you like your sex vanilla which is plain or spiced up.’’ This was like waitress asking you, do you want your toast plain or with eggs. ‘’we aren't discussing this now.’’

Suddenly Jason burst out laughing, ‘’did you really think I was serious? Jeez, you are so serious all the time, I mean why would I ask you that?’’

‘’go to hell.’’ I snapped at him suddenly realising, I was sitting in a meeting full of very important men talking on the phone about sex, serious or otherwise and blushing, damn Jason. ’I’m putting the phone down now.’’ ‘’wait, Cailen said maybe we could invite your dad, well since your mum has been invited and all, I think he’s trying to play matchmaker but for the life of me, I can’t figure out to who and who.’’

‘’fine, invite him but it’s only for Cailen’s sake.’’

‘’I know, sometimes I think you adore him a lot more than me.’’ I heard the teasing in his voice.

‘’who knows?’’ I teased back, ‘’and by the way, I’ve always been a fan of spice.’’ I said before I ended the call, ‘’where were we?’’ the men who sat opposite me looked at me as of I’d lost my mind and I couldn’t help the laughter that shook my frame, maybe I had but I loved the fact that I had, I was crazy in love with Jason and Cailen and I didn’t care.

####### Jason’s POV

I had to do a double take when I saw Arlena wearing a business suit and holding a file, ‘’Arlena, does your brother do weed honey?’’

She looked at me as if I’d lost my mind; I wasn’t the one in a Goddamn suit, ‘’no.’’

‘’good because I was wondering if you stole some of it, why are you dressed like that?’’ she smiled at me.

‘’trying to be a woman.’’ When I looked at her quizzically, she just shrugged that never mind way and said, ’if you were a banker, would you give me a loan?’’

‘’you want to get a loan? What for? I’ll lend you money of you need some and if you ask Blaine, he’ll help.’’ I told her as I folded Blaine’s clothes into his box resisting the urge to inhale it, that’d be weird.

‘’that’d be childish, a woman won’t go running to her brother when she needs help, she’ll take a loan like a responsible adult.’’ I refused to refute her point.

‘’what’s the loan for?’’

‘’I want to open a coffee/ book store, a place where people can go and drink really good tasteful coffee and snuggle up and read a book the old fashioned way without interference, not like a library, more like a home away from home.’’ She looked serious.

‘’sounds fun and I’m sure a lot of people would love that, a place they can snuggle up and read a good book’’ I told her, ‘’but if you don’t get the loan, you could always come to me, I’ll be happy to help. I have some money saved up.’’

‘’thks, I’ll keep that in mind, now if you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.’’ I smiled as I watched her go still wondering if she really wasn’t high on weed, I was still in a good mood regardless until my phone started to ring, the number on the caller ID was unknown so I just picked it up absently , ‘’the way you talk one would think you two are madly in love.’’ JANNIE! ‘’all if you need money, please come to me, I’ll keep that in mind. How cute, I’d hate you if I didn’t already do.’’

‘’what do you want? And how did you know what I said to Arlena?’’ that worried me. ‘’I put a little bug on her when we last met, poor little thing didn’t even realise.’’

‘’what do you want?’’ I asked again.

‘’I love Arlena, she’s mine, she was always mine and if you hadn’t come to town, she wouldn’t have met your sister, she wouldn’t have loved her.’’

There was no use trying to argue with someone who had made up her mind to hate me, ‘’that’s why you tried to take away my hands.’’

‘’I wanted to cut them nut there was no time, now you know how I feel. Without Arlena I feel like I’ve lost my hands. You did that to me!!! I hate you!’’

‘’the feeling is mutual, but if you do anything to hurt my family and I again, I won’t let you be. I swear it.’’ I cut the call before she could say more and began to dial Arlena, she should know about this and Blaine.

######Michael’s POV

Shit, shit shit. What had I done? I wondered as I looked at the young girl lying in my arms, I had screwed up bad; she was a kid, twenty one!!! “Mike?’’ I looked at the girl, I had just wanted to piss Dave off a little, not completely take her to bed. ‘’you regret this, don’t you?’’ she was close to tears now and I wanted to console her but I had no idea how.

‘’I was drunk, I just wanted to have a few drinks, not take you to bed.’’ I tried to explain.

‘’but I love you.’’

‘’last week, you loved David, honey you are too young to really know what love is.’’ She was still crying when she left my house and I felt like a bastard, she was old enough to be my kid.

#######David’s POV

I was already dressed for work when the doorbell rang and I opened it to find Ava crying at the door, ‘’Ava, what’s wrong?’’ before I could finish asking, she was kissing me, hard and fast. I tried to hold her back.

‘’just once’’ she begged, ‘’never again, PLEASE DAVID’’ she seemed to need this so I closed my eye and let her pretending it was Michael I held in my arms.
