headache to manage this weekend.
    “God damn it!” I hear Colin shout from the kitchen as I walk in. Becca jumps up from the couch and runs to him. I try not to listen to what they’re saying, but it’s too loud to ignore.
    “He fucking promised he’d be here. I should have known,” Colin says.
    “Let me see your phone,” Becca responds quietly. “He just said he is running late and he’ll meet us at the air strip. Honey, it doesn’t mean he’s not coming.”
    “I’ll believe it when I see the whites of his eyes. We might as well get going since everyone else is here.” Colin walks out of the kitchen and right past me without noticing that I’m sitting on his couch. He looks really upset. Becca comes out and sits next to me.
    “He has such a hard time trusting Jude with anything. He always expects the worst,” she mutters as much to herself as to me.
    “I think he has reason to be worried. From what I’ve seen of his brother he seems to be less than reliable.”
    “Jude is a self-fulfilling prophesy. He just does what he thinks others expect of him. Since they pretty much plan on him letting them down, he doesn’t make an effort to prove them wrong. It’s probably a consequence of growing up with an abusive father.”
    “Don’t get all shrinky on us,” I say with a chuckle. “I know you want to help everyone, but he’s about to be your family and you know you shouldn’t psychoanalyze relatives.” I smile at her and nudge her shoulder.
    “He’d be much better if he found a good woman to call him on his bullshit and keep him in line,” she replies as she stands up. I’m stunned into silence by her words.
    “Oh, Christin, stop it,” Becca says pulling me up from the couch. “I didn’t necessarily mean you, though I do think it would be good for both of you.”
    “All right, that’s enough,” Stephanie says from the doorway. “Let’s get this show on the road without marrying off everyone in the group.” We both laugh and the tension is broken as we walk out of the house arm-in-arm.

    I know Colin isn’t going to be happy about me missing the limo ride, but it couldn’t be helped. I had planned to be at his house this morning but between moving my shit from Tampa and getting settled in my apartment, I’m exhausted and I slept through the alarm this morning. Thankfully the neighbor’s dog was barking and woke me up.
    While I’m waiting for them to arrive, I need to figure out how to play it with Christin. This woman has me tied in knots, but I don’t want her to know that. In fact, I’d rather untie the strings and forget all about her. Well, not really. I still want to remember how her tight little cunt felt wrapped around my dick and the way her voice changed when my apadravya hit her in just the right spot. Fuck, now I’m hard and the limo is pulling into the parking lot. I think about golf until my dick goes down and I can get out of my truck without humiliating myself.
    Becca is the first one out of the limo and she runs right to me, jumping up and throwing her arms around my neck. I catch her before she takes us both down and return the hug.
    “I’m so glad you made it. Colin is too, just give him some time,” she whispers in my ear. I nod silently so she knows I heard her and help her slide back down to the pavement. When I look up again I see Kevin, Christin, Stephanie, and a man as tall as me that I don’t recognize standing at the back of the limo. Colin must be talking with the driver.
    I walk over to help unload the suitcases and introduce myself to Stephanie’s man.
    “Hey, I’m Jude, Colin’s brother,” I say holding out my right hand.
    He takes my hand and squeezes hard. “Nice to meet you, I’m James but everyone calls me Runt.” I must have a confused look on my face because Stephanie laughs and punches me in the arm.
    “Not because he’s short, silly. He’s the baby of five boys. How are you, Jude?” she asks with a
