Chasing The Impractical (Brian Quinn Story)

Push It - Q

"So you're not gonna tell me where you went last night" I grumbled as Apple and I jumped into my jeep.

"It's none of your business" she replied and started the engine.

"So it was a date then?"

Finally turning to look at me I smiled as I watched the annoyance bubble up inside of her. "Yes Brian. It was a date. Why do you even care?"

"I don't, he best treat you right though or he'll have me to deal with"

"You couldn't even put your own shoes on this morning, but thanks". With that Apple drove off down the road.

We were heading into the city to see my doctor. The drive took about an hour, but it wasn't too bad. Sat in the waiting room my patience grew thin though.

"He sending you dick pics or someit" I asked as Apples phone went off for the 400th time in 10 minutes.

"Eww Q, dick pics are so 2016. It's all about a cheeky bumhole pic nowadays" she teased and looked up to smile at me.

"You're disgusting, you know that right" I grumbled and pulled out my phone.

Apple just rolled her eyes and went to quickly tapping away at her phone. Another 20 minutes past in silence before I spoke again.

"This lover man got a name then?" I asked without looking up from my phone.

"He does, like most people" she teased again.

I couldn't not look across at her now as she smiled wickedly.

"Miguel" she finally shrugged.

"Jesus, Miguel. You serious, bet he had a fuckin man bun".

"No manbun. A very tidy bumhole though" she winked.

I was just about to respond when a nurse called out my name. Standing up, I quickly looked down at Apple. "You not coming in with me?"

"You want me to?" She replied, her voice gentle and sweet sounding now.

"Yeah, it... it might be bad news. I need you with me"

"Hmm, good idea. I should be there to do my celebratory dance if it is" she laughed and pulled herself up from the chair.

Apple must have sensed my tension though as she quickly took hold of my hand. "It'll be okay Q. No matter what happens, we'll get through this".

An hour later we were both heading out of the doctors office and getting into the car.

"encephalitis and meningitis, guess you aren't faking it" Apple smiled softly before starting the car.

"I'm just glad we know what it is. From the sounds of it im through the worst as well. This has been the worst few weeks of my life".

"Hey, it's not all bad. It got us talking again. Silver linings Brian Quinn".

We drove back to Staten Island in silence. I was too busy going over everything the doc had said, then my mind moved to my current situation.

"I'll head back home tomorrow" I announced suddenly.

"What, hell no Q. Just because you know what wrong, doesn't mean your ready to go back home. You're still sick, don't push it"

"Well I can't live with you forever. What would the handsome Miguel think he knew I was living with you huh?"

"It's not forever and he knows about our current... situation" she sighs as we pull up outside her apartment.

"Oh yeah, you talking about me on your first date" I teased.

Apple just scrowled at me as she turned off the engine and opened her car door. "Like I said Quinn, don't push it".

Just updated my other Q story. I've also started a new one called flashes and passes. It's another Q story but completly different to the other two, it's a slow start but I have big ideas for it, so let me know what you think. Don't worry either, I am still updating and writing for my other two, including this one. Happy reading folks x
