Anitta Chapter 2:
Last night's dual birthday party was crazy, with my sister's friends trying to break me out of my 'shell' while Anitta was setting them up to go out with me. After getting dressed and ready, I give Jason a heads up that I am heading over shortly. Downstairs Mom and Vicky are cleaning up, so I step in and help them out and wipe down the table and the unused clean dishes.
"Where's Em?"
"She left with Cass," Vicky laughs, "they were all talking up a storm about you this morning after you ran upstairs."
Vicky smiled and shook her head. "Em and I thought it was Nicky that you were interested in, she set up the party to see if you would choose between her and Mel.
"I said it would be Mel even though those two were scheming," Mom says and hip bumps Vicky.
"Yeah, yeah, I should have known the dominant one would win over the introvert." Vicky grimaces and looks over at me, "you let me down."
Standing up I give them both a hug from behind and walk out of the kitchen, "If it was a large wager, hold on to your money Vick. Nicky and Cassidy are coming over tonight."
I'm halfway through the living room, "Hold on a second mister, does Mel know?" I smile as I knew my mom wouldn't be able to resist.
"Yeah, she's the one that set it up." I get through the door and Anita laughs.
'It's nice when you move things along yourself.' She says as we get into the car.
"It happens on occasion." I connect Anitta's playlist to the aux slot on the radio as we head over to Jason's, he is out in the driveway with his car, and we get everything set up to replace the brake pads.
"They were upset I wasn't there last night?" Jason asks and I nod.
"Yep, your ears must have been burning all night long, they just wouldn't stop."
"Dude, I was expecting at least a few pictures of them naked or something."
"Ahh, I forgot, Emma took this one for you but nobody was allowed to share it, so it's just stuck in the phone."
"She took a picture, for me? If you are messing with me, I'll Robert your ass." He says and I start laughing.
"You turned that into a verb?."
"Come on?" Jason walks over to look at the phone.
"You can see it, but you can't have it, and there might be some changes that you'll need to be cool about. And I mean keeping it in the Anitta vault for a while."
Jason looks at the photo and then at me and then back at the photo. "Even staged, that is crazy. Way to go dude, that is insane. Mel looks rather serious; and so does, well, all of them. What the hell happened last night."
"I'm going out with Mel now." Putting the phone away we start with the front of the car.
"Shit dude, that's cool, she's a bit skinny for me, I'm more of a Maya or Virginia guy myself."
"Maya is Tuesday and V is on Wednesday." I keep waiting for Anitta to step in but she is quiet so I know I can let him in on it. Cutting open the boxes I pull out the brake pads and we get to replacing them.
"Yeah, sure, I'm glad you could spare some time for me this morning then," Jason says and laughs.
"Always, just let me know and I'll make the time, I got Nicky and Cassidy tonight though, but tomorrow is free."
"Okay, what is going on, you are saying this like it's true. Anitta finally hooked you up huh?" Jason keeps working like talking about an imaginary friend is no big deal.
'I am not imaginary,' Anitta replies.
'Isn't that what you said he thinks you are?'
'Less than he did two years ago.' She says, 'He is trustworthy and a better friend than most give him credit, except for Emma, she likes his outrageousness to rub off on you more.'
"When you two get done, you can let go of it." Jason says and I snap out of it and let the tire go."
"Sorry, she was talking about you being a great friend and I was shocked."
"Dick, I knew she'd come around eventually. Wait! Did she give you the fucking fortitude to ask out every chick at the party?"
"Nah, she got them to ask me out." I laugh, "She likes that WVM game on Pornhub and decided she would create her own version."
"Hmmm, I'll have to check that out?" Jason pulls up his phone.
"Dude? Now?" I stare at him as he is just sitting there, "Whatever." I get the driver-side back tire going.
"Ahh, had to find and save it. Anitta seems kinda kinky, so I figured it would be good." Jason says this with a straight face.
'Can I?' Anitta asks..
'Why do you keep asking me that after..' And I hear, "thank you Jason." Come out of my mouth with the same voice I hear in my head.
Jason's face lights up, "Holy Shit!" and then he looks around like we are being watched. "Shit Anitta you sound sexy, no wonder he has that stupid smile on his face all of the time."
I nod along with him as that was also the first time hearing her voice out loud.
"So, you are like the movie Upgrade?"
"What no! That's messed up man, his wife was killed and he's erased at the end." I reply.
"Well, the parts in between were cool." He laughs.
'Uh Anitta, you didn't say anything to that?' I ask.
'It was a good movie.'
'That's more messed up than when he said it,' I say back to her, and she laughs again.
