The Fallback (18+)--Sample

4. A&S Chatroom 2.0

Greyhound: Tati?

Ana: Yes, Grey?

Greyhound: She broke up with that fucker, Jared.

Ana: That's great! Are you going to go for it?

Greyhound: No.

Ana: ???

Greyhound: She's with Jeremy now.

Ana: Wait—Jared's best friend? 😮

Greyhound: One and the fucking same.

Ana: This is like a daytime drama. That girl makes my head spin.

Greyhound: And my dick hard.

Well, sort of now. I'm too fucking sad to get it up.

Ana: Remember what we talked about six months ago on Skype?

Reign in the dick and think with your heart.

Greyhound: No...that muscle hurts too much.

Ana: Sorry. 😞

I'd give you a hug but my arms don't reach.

Here ya go. (((((((((((Grey)))))))))))

Greyhound: Thanks.

My dick thanks you, too. He's waving hi. 😉

Ana:...

Greyhound: Can we Skype?

Ana: Can you keep your dick in check?

Greyhound: Have I ever been able to?

Ana: Touché...let me boot up the laptop. Give me five minutes.

Tati booted up her trusty piece of machinery and hoped that maybe her father could spring for a new one this upcoming Christmas. It was still several months away, but she was hoping that her grinding old HP would make it that long.

"Hey!" Tati's heart stuttered like it always did when she looked at Grey through Skype. He was honestly too pretty to be legal. It had to be a crime somewhere for someone to look that perfect.

"Hey, pretty lady." He smiled back. His eyes didn't sparkle as mischievously as they usually did, though.

"I'm sorry," she said with a frown. She really was, too. The man had been in love with one of his best friends for over a year and a half, and she and Grey had become close in the six months since they had started chatting.

Asher's chatroom now had the option to upload photos, have private messages, and an array of different emojis, but neither Grey or Tati used them much as they always just Skyped. Grey was still a flirt, though he could tone it down when he wanted to.

Especially at times like these.

He had been certain for the past several months that Freya was going to break up with Jared. They had been having some issues within their relationship, and they were all due to Freya's lack of commitment to Jared.

Not that she cheated, but he was ready for more and she just wasn't. Freya was young and beautiful, and at 23, still had some wild oats to sow. Or so she said, time and time again.

"Still treating you like she bought and sold you on the auctioneer's block?" Tati joked. She loved her friend, but hated how she basically took advantage of the fact that Grey was infatuated with her to get him to do things for her that she felt were either beneath her, or was just too lazy to do.
