Family
Ch 4
Mikey and Linc noticed the girls when they walking into the seating area. Their whispered argument was hushed immediately.
Linc seen V holding Sara’s hand and said, “V…”
V answered with, “I know, but she didn’t really want to run so I’m grounding her.
Mikey came over and took Sara’s other hand and said “I’ve got her.”
V let go and Sara couldn’t help but slide closer to Mikey and relax. All she cared about was that she was with Mikey, and she was safe.
When they arrived at Linc’s and V’s apartment, Linc and V went to their room and Mikey lead Sara to the living room and offered a seat.
“Would you like a drink?” he asked her pouring himself a shot.
She said “No, I want to be clear-headed.”
Mikey nodded and took his shot. “I guess V told you?”
“That she’s cheating with Linc with you but it’s okay because Linc knows?” It came out bitterly, but Sara guessed she was still hurt.
“Well, it’s more than that.” Mikey said. “Ummm, “
“Just tell me,” Sara pleaded.
“Weareallinarelationshiptogether.”
Sara just looked at him blankly. “Wha?”
Mikey rubbed his head and said “We are… or we were in a relationship. But not since I married you. “
“You…you mean you and… not just V, but your brother?!” Sara felt nauseous.
Mikey rubbed his head harder and turned away from Sara. “Yeah, I guess you hate me?”
“No, what? I … I don’t …” Sara literally didn’t know what to say. “Can I thinking about this? “
When Mikey stats to move, she reaches out for his hand, “Here. Please?”
Mikey looks at her earnest face with shock. “Really?”
Sarah reaches out and takes Mikey’s hand. “Yeah, I would rather be with you, no matter what.” She whispers then steps closer, “we can work this out. Please”
Mickey tells her, “I know this has been a lot and you’ve been drinking,,,,”
“Only 2 beers,1 Mikey. I know what I’m saying., “she answers stepping closer.
Mikey takes a deep breath and says, “Let’s get you to bed. In the guest room…alone.”
She leans in and says, “Not alone, Please Mikey. Just hold me again.”
Mikey nods and wonders what his life has become as he leads her to the guest room.
