Zoe

I woke up around 5:00 in the evening, still weary but hungry as shit. My phone was on the nightstand on my side of the bed.

....My side of the bed? Bitch, you don’t have a “side of the bed,” I reminded myself.

As I suspected, there were a bazillion missed calls and texts from my best friends and a long-ass apology text from Cole.

Fuck him. Matter fact, fuck all three of them.

I knew they thought they were just looking out, but they could have taken other measures before calling the cops, such as coming over themselves to see if I was alright.

That shit could’ve gone south, and someone could’ve gotten hurt.

I texted Brianna and Sammy to let them know I had just woken up and was alright. I told them I’d text them when I was ready to talk again. They understood and said they would be patiently waiting. I cautiously rolled out of bed and couldn’t help but groan at the soreness all over my body. It hurt to move, and I was seriously looking forward to soaking in my bathtub. My eyes caug

  • Party Animals   Delivering a Message

    **Elijah**An hour later, I managed to get us both cleaned up and in bed. Zoe had apologized profusely during our shower about throwing up on me. She even tried to reason with me and told me she was doing me a favor and preparing me for those four kids I was gunning for because babies were notorious for throwing up. I wanted to argue that there was a vast difference between baby vomit and grown-ass vomiting, but I was not about to argue with a drunk woman.I had barely been asleep for an hour when Zoe's phone began buzzing. I tried to ignore it, but it sounded like she was receiving text after text. The text messages stopped, but then she began receiving phone calls. I snatched up the phone and answered it."Hello?"He didn't answer. "Michael, what do you need?" I seethed."Uhhhh, is Zoe there?"Michael was slurring. He must have returned home and continued drinking. "Yeah, Michael, if I have her phone, she's here.""Put her on the phone.""I won't, and even if I could, she's sleeping

  • Party Animals   The Aftermath

    **Elijah**I arrived at Zoe’s house an hour later, and Michael didn’t hesitate to jump out of the Jeep as soon as it shifted into park. I didn’t blame him. Awkward couldn’t describe how the remainder of the ride home went after our “talk.”My aggressiveness threw Michael off because, usually, when it came to our disagreements, I always took the passive approach; however, I couldn’t afford to be passive about the woman I could see as my future wife. Michael got off easy. He should be glad I was still riding the high from our date last night or I might have drowned him in the river.I was snapped out of my murderous thoughts by the sound of Zoe throwing up in the backseat. I prayed she found the plastic bag I left for her. I was almost afraid of turning around.“You all right back there, Mama?” I asked once she quieted. I took a peek at the rear-view mirror to see her open her mouth to respond when she threw up again. I patted myself on the back for thinking ahead and supplying the bag.

  • Party Animals   Floating II

    **Elijah**I wished I could say I enjoyed the rest of the float, but I’d be lying. I was downright irate. I had my suspicions, and I still didn’t want to believe them, but I couldn’t help but wonder if Michael had feelings for Zoe. His behavior that day had been sketchy as hell, which, unfortunately, put me in an awkward position. There was no way around it. I would have to confront him.For once, I encouraged Zoe to drink, hoping she’d pass out in the Jeep and I could address my concerns with Michael without her butting in. I wondered if she had her suspicions as well. How did Michael behave towards Zoe when they were alone? I noticed Michael had been keeping Zoe out longer and longer on their visits, and now I know why. I trusted Zoe–1000%, but it was my brother I had difficulty trusting. All those talks he had with me about my relationship with Zoe and not getting serious didn’t seem so innocent any longer.I fully understood the appeal when it came to Zoe and how someone could eas

  • Party Animals   Floating

    **Elijah**"No thanks. I'm good," I found myself saying for the fiftieth time as the boxed wine that was now a bag of wine was offered to me. I was sticking with my beer and had no desire to "slap the bag." I looked over at Michael, who hadn't as much as uttered a word since we started.He’s probably still sore from how I spoke to him earlier, but I'm not sorry. He was getting on my nerves.For all that shit he was talking about earlier about Zoe and her drinking, he had surpassed her, and I wondered if he would be able to make it to work in the morning.Zoe and her friends chatted excitedly about their trip to South Padre Island; deep down, I dreaded it. For one, I would miss Zoe like crazy, and for two, I was concerned about her safety. I didn’t want her to get into a situation where she was injured or some asshole attempted to take advantage of her.I lay back, closed my eyes, and tried to distract myself with the sun's warm rays. Spring had just begun, but it already felt like ear

  • Party Animals   Jeep Shenanigans

    **Elijah**I grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her down to me. The kiss began slow and sweet, but her traveling hands made me impatient with need. I wanted more. I needed to feel her, taste her, consume her. I bit her bottom lip and eased my hands underneath her top to massage her breasts. She moaned lowly, and I couldn't help but take advantage and slip my tongue in. I soon ripped her shirt off, and she quickly returned the favor. "Ow!" I jumped at the feeling of her tweaking one of my nipples."My bad, Daddy," she giggled, leaning down to flick it with her moist tongue. I eagerly pulled her back into a kiss and didn't realize we had an audience until Sammy ruined all the fun and asked us to stop dry-humping so they could get in the water.Regrettably, Zoe removed her lips from mine, but I pulled her back down to whisper in her ear. "Tell him there's nothing dry about it because I'm sure you're soaked.""Eli, what's gotten into you? It's usually me who's wildly inappropriate,”

  • Party Animals   Masking the Pain

    **Elijah****Earlier**I drove down the highway and grimaced at the sight of Zoe chugging her third beer. Moments ago, she had polished off a handful of Jell-O shots, and I was fearful that she would blackout before we made it to the river. I tried to tell her to take it easy, but I was quickly reminded to mind my business and that she was “built for this.”I was grateful I had come. There was no telling what condition Zoe might’ve been in by the end of the day."Mama?""What's up?" she asked, barely paying me any attention as she rapped to the lyrics on the radio. "I might be wrong, but did you eat anything today?""Negative.""You can't be drinking like that on an empty stomach. You should've eaten something when we stopped this morning.""I was not in the mood for drive-thru breakfast, and maybe if I didn't have to babysit you in the store, then I would've had time to fix myself something to eat. Don't worry, though; we have snacks to eat on the river. Just relax, Eli. This isn't m
