Luke left an hour ago and currently on Darcy's bed. Listening to Darcy rant about her sister-in law and her brother makes me feel better about myself. Is that bad? I could have been doing better things , such as...sleeping. It has been around... give or take... thirty minutes? I think she's repeating and rephrasing her sentences. Man, her bed sheets are really comfortable. I think I might fall asleep."But, NO! He just had to let his stupid wife pull that stunt. What kind of a person would invite someone into another person's house?! It's like saying, 'Hey, I know it's your birthday and all but, I'm going to invite my friend over to mooch off of your cake'. HELL NO! I can't let Keith live on the streets either. If I do, I might as well be the top story on ihatemyinlaws.com , and to think that I would see the good side of her...OH HO HO, she was wrong. I only did this for my brother. If she pulls another string, I will kick her and her younger brother both out of my house with no hesitation! She can go shove her filthy fist up her-"
"Okay! Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I understand that you hate Mackenzie, I know she's not the best person in the world but-"
"SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT the best person in the world! She spent all my brother's money on their dumb wedding, which was gorgeous and amazing but, that's not the point! My point is, she is a gold digger! My brother is too blind and too madly in love with her. You would think they would have kids by now, nope. She's almost in her mid-thirty's, they have a nice house to settle in, and they've been together for years already; why not have kids? Actually, I don't know. The thought of little Mackenzie's running around will just make me think about how much I want to kick them"
" Darcy, give it a few more days. Maybe, she's not as bad as you think she is. Well, you and I both know she's horrible but, have you ever lived with her? Maybe she's stressing over personal issues and doesn't know how to talk to people. Why do you think they chose to stay with you? They have the money to afford a nice place to stay but, maybe your brother needs to talk to you about her. Maybe Mackenzie wanted to stay here. She probably wants to try to get to know you better but, doesn't know how to approach you at the right time. Right now, we can only hope her brother isn't a thief either. Speaking of her brother...um, how long is he staying...? You know, I'm curious because I feel bad that he's sleeping on the couch and all...", half truth. I want to see his glorious muscles and find out if he's single! And...because I feel bad he's sleeping on the couch.
Darcy squints her eyes at me. " Oh, okay. You feel bad. What? Do you want him and I to switch places, so that he sleeps with you? Is that what you meant, Penelope?" What is this, an interrogation? Is she some detective?
I stood up , resting on one elbow on the bed facing Darcy. " No, that is not entirely what I meant. He's cute. Actually, he's more than cute. 'Cute' is someone who you can talk about with most moms. He's hot. He said his name was Keith right?", I honestly don't remember if he said Keith, what I remember were those strong arms he had. Like, Hello! I just want to jump his bones. What's wrong with me? I didn't properly meet the guy.
"No, it's Heath"
"What? Are you sure?"
"Penelope, why are you doubting me? I've known him for a year. His name is Heath", I'm pretty sure I heard Keith.
"Yeah, you've got a point"
"I know. Anyway ; he's twenty-six , just moved into a building that's not far from here, he's an English teacher for middle schoolers and, he's single", Darcy said nonchalantly.
"Good information. When do you think they'll be back? An hour?" , was I being too stalker-like?
"Penelope, it doesn't take 2 hours to eat quick comfort food. They'll probably be back in twenty minutes." she says as she hangs up some clothing.
"Actually, Mackenzie mentioned that she wanted to go shopping. So, give them three hours" Okay, I need to shower. I don't want to smell like stress and coffee.
