Music booms far too loudly from the hidden speakers of the whole
home audio system. This time it’s the overly whiny voice of some
nineties band grating on my last nerve. I shift my attention from where a
rose gold candle is dripping wax onto my end table, and back to the
unwelcome warmth on my leg.
“Thanks, beautiful. Not interested tonight,” I say as I remove the
manicured hand that’s resting on my upper thigh and scoot further down
into my favorite leather armchair. The beautiful brunette shoots me a scarlet
pout as she walks away, leaving a cloud of perfume in her wake.
I don’t have the patience for company tonight. Hiding in my study for a
bit sounds amazing right now.
My friend Caleb got caught up in some family issues and had put off
planning his fiancé Marissa’s birthday until it was too late to book a venue.
They’re in the middle of remodeling their home, ruling it out as a location
to hold the party. He’d asked me to host tonight out of desperation, not
wanting to disappoint Marissa. I said yes because I owed Caleb a favor, and
I’ve regretted it ever since.
Landry walks up to me with a whiskey tumbler in his hand and a paper
birthday hat sideways on his head. “Hey man, been looking all over for
you!”
“I was trying to hide from the noise,” I say with a huff as I undo the top
button of my white dress shirt with a flick of my fingers.
“It’ll do you some good to socialize for once. You’ve been a hermit for
the past year.”
“I hang out with the team!” I say defensively, scowling in his direction.
“Only at our homes or when we drag you out!” he insists with raised
eyebrows.
As my late twenties have slowly crept by, I’ve become more introverted,
preferring small gatherings or hanging out with friends. I’m long over going
to a club and ending the evening with a random woman.
Landry’s wife Amanda walks up to him and places an arm around her
husband’s massive bicep. “Babe, we’d better get home to Olivia. I want to
check on her since she had an earache before we left.”
“Did you check in with the sitter?” he asks, worriedly raising an
eyebrow.
