Addicted to Plush Brian Haner JR

Me and Matt silently worked out. It was good. A little serious but good. I wanted more fun like the other day with him and Melly. Or like when I'm eating lunch with Jenn.

Matt: tell me about the chick.

Brian: what?

Matt: the lunch girl.

Brian: she's sweet.

Matt: hot?

Brian: doesn't even begin to come close.

Matt: damn. She a fan?

Brian: yeah but she's not like...

Matt: I got it. How did you meet her?

Brian: a friend.

Matt: cool. Are you going ask her out or just stay friends? Cause lunch is totally pussy dude.

Brian: I'm taking it slow.

Matt: huh...taking it slow is how you keep a woman.

Brian: that's the rumor. Have to work for it or something.

Matt: yeah man.

Brian: its crazy and I'm about to sound like a total cake but just talking is perfect with her.

I shrugged.

Matt: you don't sound like a cake.

Brian: thanks.

Matt: don't let Zack hear you, he'll think you're a cake.

Brian: he's annoying.

Matt: he's Zack what do you expect? You'd think after ten years he would change. No.

We laughed.

Brian: I hope he never changes.

Matt: you won't have to worry about that.

Brian: I know. Melly seemed pretty happy the other day.

Matt: you did too.

Brian: I was.

Oh Jenn on my mind.

Matt: that lunch girl has you man.

Brian: we're done talking about her we're talking about Melly now.

Matt: fine lunch girl will be a mystery for now. Yes she was happier then the one day.

Brian: something is wrong with her.

Matt: maybe she just missed you a lot.

He smiled. I shook my head.

Brian: you guys been hanging out much?

Matt: me and Melly?

Brian: yeah.

Matt: no...no. Just the one time so far. I keep inviting her and James over. They cancel.

Brian: hopefully they make it to Big Bear.

Matt: I hope so.

We made our way out of the gym.

Matt: let's get something to eat.

Brian: no I've got go take a shower and get ready.

Matt: oooo...lunch girl?

Brian: yes lunch girl.

He smiled and shook his head.

Matt: I'm tellin' you man she's already got you. I'll see you around.

Brian: bye.

I got in my car and drove home. The ocean waves greeted my ears. As I got out of the shower I checked my phone for any missed calls.

Brian: Jenn? Hmmm...

I dialed her back.

Jenn: hey new friend.

She sounded a bit frantic.

Brian: what's up? I'm just getting ready to meet up with you.

Jenn: I can't make it today...

My face fell.

Brian: oh.

Jenn: sorry. Its really hectic today.

Brian: I understand.

Jenn: tomorrow.

Brian: sure sure.

Jenn: alright sorry again. Bye.

Brian: bye.

I glared at my phone. Not the phones fault. Now I had an entire free afternoon. Nothing to do. My sigh filled the room.

Brian: its for the better I guess. She is married. Never forget that. The ring on her finger doesn't let me forget that.

Lazily I dressed myself. Even more lazily I made it to the livingroom to watch some T.V. How fucking exciting. A Papa Roach video flashed across the screen. I flinched. Ugh like I wanted to see that shit. Jacoby screaming in my face. I turned it off.

Brian: you could...that is a very good idea.

I pushed myself off the couch and left my house. The aroma of fresh bread filled my nose. At the counter of the little sandwich shop a girl greeted me. She was probley eighteen. Cute. Brunette. Her name tag said Jackie.

Brian: hi Jackie. I'd like a turkey club. No tomato please.

Jackie: sure. Drink?

Brian: yeah ummm...raspberry ice tea.

Jackie: that it today sir?

Brian: yes.

She took my money and thanked me for coming. Polite girl. I'm sure its a part of the job. Patiently I waited for my order. There were some people sitting in the little shop. Random conversations filled the air. None sounded interesting. My number was called and I was out the door.

Brian: hi. I'm here to see Jenn.

The secretary looked me over. A smile sweeping over her face.

Sec: does she know you're here honey?

Brian: no its a surprise.

Sec: that's sweet. Are you the fabulous husband of hers she always talks about?

If only.

Brian: I'm uhh...

Sec: oh go right in. She's on the phone but it should be fine.

Brian: umm...ok.

She pointed me in the right direction and I made my way. I reached a door that read Jenn Shaddix. I smiled and quietly walked in. She is in a heated conversation on the phone. Papers were scattered all over her desk. I kept by the door until she was finished. A huff left her lips and she picked up some papers. Her eyes stared them down.

Jenn: fine we'll move the meeting to the twenty fifth.

Another huff left those lips as she hung up.

Brian: crazy day.

Her eyes snapped to me.

Jenn: what are you doing here?

Surprise and a smile in her tone. I held up the bag and drink.

Brian: I brought you lunch. Good thing to because you seem frazzled.

Jenn: you brought me lunch...

Brian: yes.

Jenn: you. Brought me lunch.

I gave a nod. Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

Brian: sorry.

Jenn: no...that's really sweet of you.

Her smile was hesitant.

Brian: I figured you'd need the energy if you're really busy.

Jenn: yeah. Have a seat. I've got like literally a minute.

I did as told and placed the bag on her desk.

Brian: nice office.

Jenn: real estate is nice to me.

Brian: I'll say.

The phone started ringing and she sighed.

Brian: I better go.

Jenn: they can wait. What did you bring me new friend?

Brian: turkey club. No tomato. With a raspberry ice tea.

Jenn: shit you got me right down to the ice tea.

Brian: I've got a good memory.

Jenn: you didn't have to bring me lunch.

The phone started ringing again. I stood up this time.

Brian: sure I did. I'm your new friend.

Jenn smiled.

Brian: I'm going now so you can work.

Jenn: boo fine.

She came around her desk and gave me a hug.

Jenn: it was really nice of you.

Brian: its no biggy. I wasn't busy.

She shook her head.

Jenn: every time I see you I always end up asking myself how do you not have a girlfriend.

Brian: Zacky.

I said seriously. She laughed. There went the phone again. She sighed.

Jenn: duty calls.

I nodded and left after a final hug. A smirk made its way on my face. My phone rang and I answered.

Brian: hello?

Jenn: thank you.

Brian: aren't you supposedly busy working?

Jenn: yes but I forgot to say thank you.

Brian: no need.

Jenn: yes there is. But now I really have to go. Thanks again.

She hung up and my smirk turned into a smile.

Brian: she thinks I'm sweet.

The traffic wasn't to horrible as I drove home.

Brian: I guess I'm really doing this. Yup. I could just stop now. Or go for it. Married. Alone. He's your friend. Not really. Yes. I mean yeah but not really. He's more like an acquaintance.
