Lessons Learned

Chapter 5

"Miss Becky?" I call out as I open the screen door and walk in with Alley. I hear whispered cursing and fumbling. "Uh I'll be right there, sugar," Miss Becky replies. Weird. I make myself at home on the family room couch as I pet Alley and text Brantley a selfie.

"Hey there Briel," I hear Miss Becky say behind me. I turn to see her standing with an older gentleman. "Oh I'm sorry, you have company. I can come back another time. I should've called," I stammer out. "Oh no, sweetheart. This is Bill. Well, he's my boyfriend. Please don't tell Brantley and Kolby. This is new for Bill and I and I don't want my boys to scare him off yet," she pleads with me.

"Well it's very nice to meet you, Mr. Bill. Don't worry, Miss Becky, your secret is safe with me. I think it's wonderful that you've found someone who makes you happy. You certainly deserve it," I say with a soft smile. "We sure appreciate that, sweetheart," Mr. Bill tells me.

"Well, Miss Becky, I came over to see if you wanted to bake, but you know what? I'm just going to give my sister and Nikki a call, and see if they want to go shopping with me," I tell her hurriedly. "Okay sugar. I'll give you a call soon so we can do some of that baking," she tells me with a big hug. "Sounds good," I tell her before shaking Bill's hand and leaving with Alley.

 I hear my phone ring as soon as I close my truck door. "Hello?" I answer. "Hey sis, what're you up to?" my sister's voice asks happily. "I'm just leaving Miss Becky's house. What are you up to? Want to go shopping?" I ask her curiously. "Yes! I was hoping for a girls day! Call Nikki too," my sister commands. "Will do. I'm on my way to your house now." "Okay see ya soon!"

After I drop Alley off at BG's house, I make my way to Stacey and Brady's house. "Hey little sis," Brady tells me with a grin and a hug. "Hey big bro. What's up with you?" I ask. "Well, since you ladies are having a girls day, I called up some of the guys to go four wheeling," he tells me with a grin. "Damn! I wish I was hanging with you guys," I grumble. "No can do, sis! We are going shopping and getting manicures and pedicures," Stacey tells me as she walks into the foyer.

"Don't get me wrong, I like shopping and manicures and pedicures, but I LOVE four wheeling! Ever since Brantley took me-" I pause after I say his name. "Well, he just made it really fun," I finish sadly. "Aw sweetie, you'll be with BG before you know it. Now let's go shop to get your mind off of missing his sexy ass," she says with a smile. "Sexy ass?" Brady asks her with a glare. "Aw baby, your ass is sexier," she purrs at him while giving him a big smooch. "Okay, as cute as you two are, it's making me sick," I tell them as I walk out the front door.

BEEP! BEEP! I honk the horn outside of Nikki and Kolby's house. "I'm comin', biotch!" Nikki yells before kissing the heck out of Kolby. "Woohoo!" Stacey and I cheer them on. Kolby waves as Nikki runs up to my SUV.

An hour later, we're in a dressing room at a fancy boutique a few towns over. "Oh my god! Ya gotta get that lingerie and Skype with BG while wearin' it!" Nikki squeals. "She's right, Bri. BG will get an instant boner," Stacey tells me seriously. I giggle before walking back into the dressing room to get changed. "First, we're gonna take pics of you wearing it and send to BG and I bet he would stop his damn concert when he gets those pics," Stacey says with confidence.

"Yo, BG! Bri's blowin' up your phone with texts!" Dan, the band's bass player calls out. I run out of my room in my sweatpants. I unlock the screen and what shows up, makes my mouth drop open. I lock my phone and run into my room and slam the door. "Dude what the fuck?" I hear Dan call out. I ignore him and unlock my phone again, to check out my sexy woman. "Holy fuck. So fuckin' sexy," I mumble before dialing Face Time. "Hey baby," she purrs into the phone.
