An Undead Surprise

Telling Riley(34)

The whole afternoon George sat alone trying to figure out what Devin had meant by "talk to Asia"? What could have happened between them that now Devin was acting bitter towards Asia. His brow knitted together in confusion as he stared out across the front lawn. From inside he could hear the guys talking and Reese and Vanessa playing with Dylan's dog, Mr. Bones. He got up from the patio chair and headed inside with a cigarette hanging between his lips. Mr. Bones met him at the door and began running in circles around George's feet. He smiled but didn't pay attention to the dog, he wanted to confront Asia about whatever had happened between her and Devin. When he found her she was in the kitchen making a smoothie for her and the girls. He walked into the kitchen to see that she was chopping up a kiwi into perfect small pieces, humming along to one of their new songs.

"Have you talked to Devin at all?" He said cutting right to the point.

Asia put the kiwi into the blender and looked at him.

"The other day, why? The bitch say something about me?"

"I talked to her earlier and she didn't sound like herself," George explained. "She said that she talked to you. So is there anything you want to tell me?"

Asia scooped some yogurt and dropped it into the blender along with some more ice.

"I called her after you told me that you had slept with her, I was pissed off so I bitched at her." She replied coldly. 

"What did you say?" George asked, his blood pressure rose dramatically.

"I told her to stay away from you and I called her a whore, which she is, and that I knew that she was after you this whole time."

"What the fuck, Asia?!" He exclaimed angrily. "She's not a whore! And she wasn't after me at all because she came here for Riley!"

"Hey uh, George?" Jorel said from the kitchen doorway.

"What's up Jay?" He closed his eyes and exhaled.

"We're just gonna head out," he said quickly. "I'll call you later."

"Alright, see 'ya." He said then turned back to face Asia, they both waited to continue until they heard the front door close.

"Do you honestly believe that, George? 'Cause I don't."

"Yeah I actually do, and you should to because that's all she came here to do."

"Well I don't fucking believe it because she slept with you!"

George rolled his eyes and tossed his hands in the air out of frustration.

"I slept with her too, does that mean I'm after her?" George shouted.

Asia remained silent, did that mean he was after her? She didn't know what to think or how to answer that. George dropped his head into his hands and closed his eyes tightly, now he was getting a headache.

"You know that she's hardly spoken to me since you did that right?"

"Good, I don't want her near you."

"Asia, she's the mother of my child! I may have slept with her but I still need to talk o her for Riley, she will always be around me even if you don't want her to be." George looked up at her. "You have to at least try and get along with her. You forgave me but why can't you forgive her?"

"Nope," she shook her head. "I refuse to."

"Fine, don't forgive her but know one thing Asia. If you can't get along with her, you won't get along with my daughter."

George was done with her at this point, he pushed himself off the counter and walked out of the kitchen. He really didn't need to deal with this bull shit right now, wasn't there enough going on at the moment?
