Xander slammed the door behind Mary…Melissa…Megan? Honestly, he didn’t know or care. The entire night just didn’t feel right to him. Sure, he turned up the good old Xander charm. He had them eating out of his hand in mere seconds. He still could dance like an idiot on the dance floor. He still could find the pretty girl and get her into bed. But in the end, it felt so wrong. It made his skin crawl and his stomach turn. Every part of his body hated it. That is why he kicked the girl out.
He made some sorry excuse and didn’t look back.
He leaned against the door and sighed.
When did his life become such a mess? He could answer that one. It is when he started dating V and Chip. A small smile played on his face. Such a wonderful mess it was. They were close…his best friends. They knew his bad side and good. They made him laugh and smile. They shared experiences that no one else can imagine. They just clicked.
But now….
They are gone. Chip is god knows where. Daggeron and Leanbow have their looks and their meetings. They know something is wrong. Hell if they aren’t telling anyone. It was frustrating. It didn’t help that he felt guilty on how Chip left. He didn’t get to say good-bye. He was too damn stubborn.
All because of Vida.
He ran his hand through his hair. They drove each other nuts…in a good way. She challenged him. She didn’t let him slide on anything. She made him laugh with her dirty jokes. She didn’t try to change him or his ways of flirting. What changed? What made fall apart like that?
He wanted to scream. He didn’t have the answer for it. They aren’t together and she still drove him nuts.
But he missed them so much. He missed the warm bodies curled up to him in the morning. The talks they had during breakfast. They would argue over movies. Their adventures in bed. He stared at the wall in front of them. Suddenly and quite viciously, Chip’s words popped into his head.
I don’t care what you have to do. Yell. Scream. Have wild monkey sex. Figure out what is wrong. Because I don’t know how to fix. I don’t know if I will be around to see fixed. I just want you two have each other…even if it is just friendship. I just want you two be happy. Is it too much to ask?
His heart dropped to his stomach. Chip knew he might not be coming back. He pulled out his cellphone out of his pocket and dialed the numbers.
It was time to fix this.
