*****************************************************************************************
My phone was ringing off the hook.
"Hello?" I almost knocked it on the floor, snatching it up from the bedside table instead, knocking off the remnants of my fast-food dinner from Carl's Junior.
"PHIL LEFT MY ASS!!" Holly McMichael finally made it home from her weekend excursion to Vegas.
It was two in the morning.
"What'd you expect?"
"I expected that fucker to be here with the kids; look, it's not what you think, okay?" I was lying face down in my bed but perked up with a furrowed brow remembering Phil's despair because of her selfish behavior. Instead of spending her free weekend off from work with her man, Holly decided it was a good idea to get "flewed out" to sin city.
"Ain't you supposed to be telling him that?" It was a dig at her standard issue cheater's lingo.
"Well, I don't know where he's at; he blocked me on everything and turned off his phone. I keep getting his voicemail, so you'll do."
"What an honor." I replied dripping with sarcasm.
"Why're you talking like that; you've seen him, haven't you?" Holly picked up on the tone of my voice.
"I'm not involved."
"The hell you say; Phil took the kids to Derbin's trailer with pockets of cash and that scrawny fucker was smiling from ear to ear when I answered his facetime call. He thought I was coming back to him, but I shut that weak motherfucker down."
"Maybe you two should get back together." I was ready to slam in her cabbage patch face.
"JUST TELL ME YOU SAW HIM BEFORE HE GHOSTED ME!" Holly blurted out sensing I was about to end the call.
"I saw him, Holly."
"WHAT'D HE SAY; WHAT DOES HE KNOW?!!" She stammered in obvious verbal panic.
"I'm gonna go now."
"WAIT!!"
"What, now?"
"I need a face to face."
"No."
"Hey, don't jerk me around when you been up in my fucking tits since day one and I gave you some; I wanna face to face with you at the motherfucking Dennys two blocks from where we work and I ain't taking no for an answer, either! You brought us together, but I'm your bitch over that motherfucker!"
"Really?"
"Okay man, if you don't turn up down there in the next twenty minutes, don't worry about it. I'm serious as fuck, okay? Don't worry about shit since you won't let me have my fucking day in court and don't worry about seeing me ever again, asshole!" Holly slammed in my face.
"Well, how about that?" I sat up on the edge of the bed scratching the back of my head.
I didn't take her seriously but wanted to fill in the rest of the puzzle pieces arriving at the sparsely populated restaurant with a minute and a half to spare. Phil's defeated demeanor and subsequent evacuation from the city spoke volumes about where his head was post relationship and step-fathership. Things were sort of a whirlwind after all three of us hooked up that night. Holly wanted to get some payback on her cheating baby daddy, and I wanted some of that ass inheriting Phil in the process. The fiftysomething uber driver got a nice brand-new relationship and ready-made family out of the deal. Holly got a seasoned guy with tons of experience and time for her kids.
It was a house of cards built on sand in gale-force winds. Phil figured it out right at the end.
"Sit your ass down." Holly greeted me tersely.
Holly McMichael sat there with her normally frizzly strawberry mane, now straightened and swept over a shoulder on her opposite side.
Four tight cornrows were etched into the side of her head facing me. Smoky eye shadow and liner surrounded her eyes, and her eyebrows were done; sparse red lipstick completed this new look on a big country woman who usually walked about with her plain features on display willing to flip you the bird at a moment's notice if you said otherwise. A light blue puffer jacket covered her upper half failing to hide her charms from public view. Her enormous N-Cup breasts made it a necessity that the jacket remain unzipped if Holly were to sit in the window booth comfortably.
"Well good morning to you too, bitch; it's like in the AM, so that's morning, right Holly?" A flounced, voluminous peasant blouse enhanced the humongous cleavage mashed into the table. Some of that prime tit-meat was bulging onto the table, top and underneath. I slid into the opposite side facing her noticing the Bohemian print on her frock. Holly looked taller than me seated there as I noticed a cigarette in her hand. Ms. McMichael was using a saucer as an ashtray staring at my face, intently.
"Who cares? Where is my man; don't play in my face, this shit is important, okay?" She took a drag as I noticed a server bypassing us ignoring her smoking. Holly was drawing attention but cared nothing about it.
"Didn't you ghost him first?"
"That is not what's on the table right now; so, you better not try none of that "bros before hoes" shit with me or we're chunking it out on the sidewalk outside. I did what I did, made a gametime decision for both of us; fucked up and dropped the ball. Now you're gonna sit here and hold down a guy that was more than willing to share me with you. DID YOU FORGET HOW WE MET?!! You forget the other BBC in the motherfucking room, huh? Wasn't no great love story, dude! You were all up in my damn titties before I bounced; or did you forget that shit while you were hugging it out with my gawd damn man?!"
"Chill, people are watching." I cautioned as the server returned filling my water glass. Holly was nursing a mug of black coffee.
"I don't give a fuck; I could wipe my pimply ass with what they think! Now, are we good, or are you gonna play the role with me about this cheating shit?" Holly McMichael cut through all the banter with this strained distressed look on her face that drew some disparaging looks my way from an adjacent booth stuffed with guys from the boulevard. I knew better than to meet their eyes, as I answered.
"Holly, he left town with a duffle in the back of his truck. I don't think he's coming back."
Tears started streaming down her face making the mascara run freely as she buried her face in her hands. I was given the impression she would've hunched over the table if she were physically able.
"AW FUCK, SHIT!! FUCK ME, MAN!! FUCK ME!!" Holly shouted at the top of her lungs. Her grief was palpable enough that time seemed to stop for a moment as all eyes found the booth we shared. A server walked over leaning over Holly's big back with a handful of tissues intermittently shooting me a look or two. I just sat there as the women whispered before the server went about her rounds.
"Sorry." I offered contritely taken aback by her facedown sobs.
"Eighteen grand."
"What?"
"Eighteen motherfucking grand, dude; that's how much it cost." My face wrinkled up at the assumption that my work wife and two-time fuck buddy went to Vegas to sell her cooch.
"I don't wanna know." I started to slide out of the booth intent on leaving Holly there alone fueled by the memory of Phil's emotionally disheveled face as he bit the bullet telling me about her betrayal.
"That fucking hospital was chomping on my ass for the rest of that money, with interest. It was already too late when I found those bills in his stuff! Wasn't my fault he never applied for medical insurance; didn't have disability even though he knew he had acute heart disease! Derbin ain't coming up off no checks working the takeout window at the chicken shack, so what the fuck was I supposed to do while he was laid up, huh? He couldn't do his fucking uber job. He had to take his time recovering, but those bills didn't give a fuck! What was I supposed to do, man; I GOT KIDS! You wanna sit here and turn yo' fucking nose up at me; then give me a fucking answer! I'm shit, right? GIVE ME AN ANSWER!!"
"Hey, I would've loaned you some money." Holly sat up looking distraught, huffing and sniffling, giving me the impression, she might plant a ham sized fist in my mush if I kept talking. Instead, she slapped a handful of paper towels into her face blowing her nose loudly as one nearby couple got up and moved to another table. Holly watched raising a middle finger at the guy's female companion before I reached over pulling her hand down. I wilted under her tear-soaked gaze, unused to seeing her in this manner.
"I should get up and go back there and commence to stomping on the bitch neck, huh?"
"I got no money to bail you out of jail tonight."
