Chapter 4 - The Fourth Wheel Asshole
Trouble comes and goes in many forms and shapes. Like God said Noah had two snakes on his arc, snakes and serpents hide in may disguises. To me love is disguised as a lying snake that didn’t deserve to be on that arc. Like love doesn’t deserve to be in our lives, cause it’ll just cause us a hell of a lot of trouble.
To people like me and Ricky, love goes as fast as a new pair of socks. It comes in as fast as a car through a drive through window. But there’s that one point in our lives when true love stops on our door step and we have to decide whether or not to snatch it up or let it fly past us in the wind.
My times come but I don’t know if want it, maybe if I let it go I’ll be lucky enough to catch it again one day. But life doesn’t pick favorites, and if it did I haven’t really done anything to be a favorite in the eyes of life.
When we got home from shopping, Luca called Reed and asked him if he wanted to come out with us. He agreed. “So I told Reed to bring his friend. So you could meet him.” I heard Luca say from her bathroom. She’s in there changing into her dress, while I took over her room.
“And why would you do that!” I shouted back trying put lotion on my nice long legs.
I was just in my black panties and matching strapless, lace bra when the door swung open and in walked Vivian. God damn it! “I invited him because you need someone to hangout with while I’m fucking Reed!” she shouted back while her mother stared at me appalled by what I was wearing and probably what her daughter just said.
“Hey Vivian!” I said sarcastically smiling at her as I rubbed lotion on upper arms and my shoulders.
“Vivian! Vivian?” Luca said confused from the bathroom. But then once she figured out who Vivian was she ran right out of the bathroom in just a bra and panties and a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth. “Mom!” she said pulling the tooth brush out and grabbing a towel really quick to cover her body.
“Luca what the hell do you think you’re doing!” she yelled looking from standing proudly in just my skivvies and Luca trying to hide from her mother.
“Luca and I were just getting ready to go out with Reed and apparently one of his friends!” I said turning to Luca and glaring at her for hot, quick second before I turned back to Vivian to see her arms crossed over her perfectly dry-cleaned formal dress suit thingy.
This woman always had to look nice even if was staying home all day. Vivian nodded her head quickly, “You to listen very closely to my words.” she said standing closer to Luca than to me. We usually got into the same amount of trouble but Luca’s her daughter so she cared more about what she does. “If either of you get into any trouble tonight you will be dealing with me not your father!” she said pointing an accusing finger at Luca then to me.
“Yes ma’am.” Luca said nodding her head quickly. She was never one to be scared of her mother but something’s about Vivian did scare her.
“Of course Vivian! I will personally make sure Luca stays out of trouble!” I said sarcastically when she turned her warning gaze at me. Vivian quickly looked between me and Luca before walking out of the door and slamming it shut.
Luca mumbled something about locking her door under breath before going back into the bathroom. I fell onto the bed laughing my ass off at how easily I could annoy Vivian Masterson. It’s like a game for me to play whenever I come down to the city.
We were both finished getting ready ten minutes later. When we heard the doorbell ring we both headed down the stairs but not in time to answer the door before the maid, whom I still haven’t learned her name, and Vivian answered it.
