~Bailey’s Point of View~ When I confessed to Trey where we were going, he jumped out of his car and dressed. At first I was offended, but then I realized he left the keys. The car was still running. What the hell was he doing? Did he have to pee or something? I made quick work out of getting dressed and then trying to get my hair back in a ponytail. I watched in disbelief as he ran to a nearby field, filled with California poppies and began to pick them. He was picking flowers … to take to my grandparents’ graves. I covered my mouth in shock at what I was seeing. Why did this simple gesture just completely hit me so hard? Maybe because literally nobody had ever done something that sweet and thoughtful. Because Trey as a whole seemed very considerate and I wasn’t used to that. I had one friend, a girl I worked with at a coffee shop a couple years ago that I texted sometimes. She was about the only thing close to a friend that I had. But still, we only made small talk and we never h

~Trey’s Point of View~ I hoped by spending the day with Bailey I’d get a glimpse into her life, but I got so much fucking more. I brought her back to my place, she said she was tired and just needed a nap. I could tell today had taken a lot out of her and she needed space. I was just glad she wasn'r leaving. I texted Jude to see if he was home and dressed then left her in my bed. KNOCK KNOCK The door opened and Juliet stood wearing a cute little dress with an apron on and her little belly poking out. She was covered in flour and barefoot, she looked adorable. I stepped in and kissed her cheek. “You knew I was baking didn’t you? You sensed it! I’m trying Jada’s blonde brownie recipe, pretty sure I nailed it,” she said, looking proud of herself. “Actually that sounds great, but I’ll take some to go. I gotta talk to your boy,” I said, as Jude wandered into the living room. He was carrying his notebook that he scribbles lyrics in, he’s never far from it. “Do you … have make-up on yo

~Bailey’s Point of View~I had been texting my mom on and off all weekend, making sure she knew I wasn’t dead. She was thrilled that I’d met a guy but of course she thought it was way too soon to be spending the weekend with him. She knew I wasn’t a virgin, I didn’t keep much from her. She only cared that I was absolutely practicing safe sex and that’s why she got me on the pill as soon as I even started having an interest in boys. She didn’t want me to end up a pregnant teenager like she had been. I showed Trey a couple photos of the two of us, one of my favorites was from Christmas a couple years ago. We were eating at a semi-decent restaurant but it was a buffet. We pretty much stayed there all day and stuffed ourselves until we couldn’t move. We didn’t get each other gifts that year, just the gift of going out to a nice place and enjoying each other’s company. I didn’t exactly tell Trey that part.As Sunday began to wind down, I knew that going home soon and facing my reality was

~Trey’s Point of View~ “I feel like … I need to do something big. But she’ll also be pissed at me if I do something big. I’m all twisted up,” I said, dropping my head on the table. “Women,” Slade said, taking a drag of his joint. He rarely smoked weed, but he’d been stressed lately with all his businesses. He was stretched pretty thin. I kept telling him to-- “Hey! I have an idea,” I said, snatching his joint and taking a drag. It was like a light went off in my mind. He just shook his head and took a sip of his whiskey. It was 2 o’clock on Wednesday and I’d barely gotten more than a couple vague texts from Bailey so far this week. I wasn’t sleeping, I was losing my shit. Juliet offered to go talk to her, but I decided against it. “Well…” Slade finally said, when I didn’t respond. The weed was working, I was gonna let that happen first. “Her mom! I should go talk to her, don’t ya think,” I said, running my fingers through my hair. We had a meeting set up for Friday, with a n
How To Get A Divorce - Feisty Series (2 of 5) 14 - I Want To Break Free
~Bailey’s Point of View~ I had an hour left until I could safely get the hell out of here. If I tried to leave before six usually someone had a problem with it. Most nights I was here until seven or eight. But today there wasn’t a whole lot going on and I was so caught up on my work I already had everything ready for Nadine in the morning. She never gave me the courtesy of returning the favor but I won’t go there. The elevator opened and someone stepped off holding a giant box of roses. I practically leapt to my feet, knowing right away those were for me. I just knew it. There were no other women on this floor and nobody would send a man flowers. “Bailey Kline,” the delivery guy said. I nodded, absentmindedly and accepted the box. I could already smell them, and the clear cover over the top showed how pristine and perfect they looked. When I took them in my arms and tilted it toward me, I saw there were some California poppies in there too and I laughed. I scurried to my desk and s

~Trey’s Point of View~ I bounced my leg mindlessly, nervous. They were about ten minutes late, and I hadn’t gotten any messages. Hadn’t gotten any word from Bailey or her mom since yesterday. I was absolutely dying to know how things went with Greg. There wasn’t anything in the news and things seemed all quiet. Too quiet. “I’m sure they’ll be along shortly, I appreciate you waiting,” I said, standing from the couch and moving toward the realtor. He was a good friend of Slade’s so I knew he would be cool about it. But I also know time is money. The owner of the condo we were standing in literally went to his firm yesterday morning. I was the only one he’d shown it to and we both knew the minute it was a live listing there would be many offers over asking price. But the seller was an older lady who was moving to Florida to live with her kids, she didn’t care a whole lot about the money. She just wanted it gone and fast. Well nothing moves faster than an all cash offer and I was wi
How To Get A Divorce - Feisty Series (2 of 5) 16 - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
~Bailey’s Point of View~ Trey ended up pulling some sneaky shit and paying for our condo anyhow. But mom was adamant he not pay for the homeowners insurance or the HOA fees. I was shocked to find out the HOA fee was half of what we were used to paying in rent but this is LA so I shouldn’t be too surprised. I wasn’t sure how people could afford both that and a mortgage. After some paperwork was signed Clay took us around, showing us the gym and pool. There was also a play area for kids. What I was mostly happy to see was the twenty-four hour security. I don’t know why now that we had half a million dollars sitting pretty in our bank account it didn’t bother me that Trey bought our place. I snuck a peek and he’d paid about $435k for it. His name didn’t go on the deed, just mine and mom’s. Maybe it was knowing I could have bought it now if I wanted to. But really, I wanted mom to have that money to play with. Trey mentioned a spa day and suddenly it was all she could talk about, bathin

~Trey’s Point of View~ “I think it’s a little soon but I hate to miss a trip,” I said, chomping down on my burger while on the phone with Lukas. One of his sisters was having pretty major surgery on Monday, she was playing basketball with some friends and messed up her rotator cuff. Since his family was like our family, we were all going to surprise her and visit. We always like any excuse to go home. But he wanted me to bring Bailey and well … since my mom knew I had a girlfriend I couldn’t exactly go home alone. Especially since I never introduced her to my wife. But at the same time things were still so new and fresh I didn’t know how she would feel about meeting my parents. I didn’t know if her mom would want to come. I guess all I could do was ask. But really if Bailey said no, my ma of course would take it personally. “We can’t very well go home without you, Mary would have my balls,” he said, clearly he had a mouthful of food too. This was also true. I sighed. “Yeah I’
