was still in my mouth. As Thomas bent down to get his phone, I thought I saw a brief smirk on his lips.
    “Jillian, I really need to get home, now.” I was clearly upset and needed to run. She was in deep conversation with some of the guys and told me she would be a moment. When I pressed her to leave again, I saw that she held her finger up for me to wait another minute. I was in no condition to drive home. I hadn’t seen Jillian drinking at all during the night, just talking a lot with a drink near her. Thomas was looking at his phone to make certain I hadn’t broken it and then told me he was sorry that I saw that, he didn’t mean to upset me he just wanted me to see Rand, my fiancé. I wasn’t sure if his intent in showing me the video was malicious, but I needed to get out of this bar to breathe and get home.
    Thomas told me that he and Connor were heading out. Connor lived out in the suburbs. I was hesitant but needed a ride and Thomas said he would get me home. Since Jillian didn’t have to head out of the city too just to take me back I decided to accept the ride. I trusted Thomas for so many years, as he did always make sure I got home safely. I cleared it with Jillian who was fine since her living in the city would only be a trip of a few blocks. Thomas really didn’t seem to mind taking me and Connor back to the suburbs. He actually talked business with Connor for most of the drive. I figured Thomas was hoping I wouldn’t send him back into the city, to his home alone. Connor finished up work talk and then focused his conversation toward me. “So Madison I understand from Thomas that I only live two miles from you. I am in the next townhouse community from yours, and Thomas boasts that you make the best coffee,” he said kindly. I didn’t participate in their conversation as my head was spinning with thoughts of Rand and Killjoy.
    I was hearing bits and pieces of his speaking to me. He seemed nice and I continued to nod and smile. I did gather that Connor accepted a new employment position in Philly and worked with Thomas now in the city. Still smiling at his spoken words, I noticed that he was yummy handsome and kept staring. He told me he had heard the Rolling Isaac’s play before and he enjoyed their music. I definitely heard that. He said he also heard that I was a writer and hoped to read some of my work one day. I wasn’t sure what Thomas told him about me but I knew he did tell him some things. As we dropped him off, he said goodnight and hoped we would meet again. He leaned over toward me and gave me a friendly hug goodbye and said, “Goodnight Madison, see you soon, we’re practically neighbors.” He smelled really good, I remember sort of a fresh outdoors scent. I actually took in another breath of him before I could speak back.
    “Well Connor I used to live near you in my townhouse, but I have my mother and uncle living there now. I have moved in with Rand.” I corrected him, but in my head, my brain was saying, yes, he was definitely yummy. I held onto him for a few seconds longer then released myself from his pull.
    It was a very silent long ride from there with just Thomas and I back to Rand’s house, actually Rand and my house now. I didn’t want to speak to Thomas of all people about Killjoy and her appearance that I viewed. And I definitely did not want to tell Thomas that it was that moment in the bar that I found out Killjoy was a girl, a beautiful stunning girl…for some reason I had thought all this time that Killjoy was a rocking guy that the band enjoyed playing with not this gorgeous girl that just licked Rand’s neck, chest and touched his nipples. I shuttered with a chill from that thought. Rand appeared to like her every movement, her touching her pulling him onto her. He went right into her clutching claws, actually beautifully long stroking fingers.
    I was buzzing from the drinks, I had not eaten a thing and Thomas reached over and placed his hand on my thigh as we
